Boats Lyrics

Well the ocean is a monster
And the waves are a killer
Swallowed my baby whole

Now her tombstone is a coral reef
Under shifting sand my love is buried deep
But never as deep as the beauty in her soul
The goddamn thing swallowed my baby whole

I used to smoke mother nature
Now tell me who is burning who
It's here my love was lost
In sunlit wonder she was tossed
All for black sea teeth to chew

I used to smoke mother nature
Now tell me who is burning who
I'm gonna build a boat
A wooden tomb to float
Just long enough -- I'm gonna sink it where my baby lies

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
