(There's No Room For Mistakes When You're) Treading Water Lyrics

I awake to the oceans and curves along the shore
'Better' lies inside our minds
I awake to the water breaking in my bedroom
I'll let it in my lungs
Before I let you in my heart again

Take this time to talk yourself out of it
Then buy a lesson in keeping secrets
Because anything you say can and will be held against you
No matter what I said
Remember when innocense was all we had to sell?
Before long this ship will have gone to hell and back
Anything you say can and will be held against you
No matter what I said

I awake to the oceans and curves along the shore
Better lies were inside our minds
I awake to the water breaking in my bedroom
I'll let it in my lungs
Before I let you in my heart again

[Chorus]

My body will break before my heart is thrown overboard

(This mistake will be the last one you're allowed to make
My heart goes overboard with your conscience and your tolerance
It floats like my body after midnight
Tonight will be your last chance to pray for me so go on...)

[Chorus]

Homesick

In Between the Black and White

Start From Scratch

Everyone Will Hear About It

From the Bottom of My Heart

I awake to the oceans and curves along the shore
'Better' lies inside our minds
I awake to the water breaking in my bedroom
I'll let it in my lungs
Before I let you in my heart again

I awake to the oceans and curves along the shore
Better lies were inside our minds
I awake to the water breaking in my bedroom
I'll let it in my lungs
Before I let you in my heart again

[Chorus]

My body will break before my heart is thrown overboard

[Chorus]

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.
