Sink or Swim Lyrics

And we swim forever
Stay the same forever

I talked to you today
You didn’t seem depressed
The way I acted was
Nothing for you to test
And I feel so sad
That I’ve lost control

So many chances I
Feel like I must be wrong
I’m misdirected by
Communication’s songs
And I feel so sad
That you wanted more

And we swim forever
Stay the same forever

And we’re wasting over
Barren something
Over nothing
Like before
We’ve been sidelined
Resurrected
Don’t deserve it
And what more

And we’re wasting over
Barren something
Over nothing
Like before
We’ve been sidelined
Resurrected
Don’t deserve it
And what more

And we swim forever
(And we swim forever)
And we swim forever
(And we swim forever)

Wait until you
Some know
What’d you say

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 think this song is about being stuck in a shitty relationship but cant seem to get out of it, or else trying really hard for something yet can't seem to get it.
