Teach Me How to Drown Lyrics

There's something I can't do
I don't know how
Just asking for some rope
It's killing me;
I'm way out here
I can't see the shore...
Teach you how to swim,
teach me how to drown
Teach you how to swim,
teach me how to drown

Hold on to me tight
Don't let me drift away
Just asking for your hand
It's killing me;
Sinking into warmth
nothing left but down...

Teach you how to swim,
teach me how to drown
Teach you how to swim,
teach me how to drown

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.

I love this song, it sounds so sweet! A bit morbid, yes, but sweet all the same.
