Short of Shore Lyrics

did you hear
what the preacher said, boy?
poseidon
let your waters
tremble over my head
take cover!
ocean hands
take all the innocence
away from us now
we're just short of the shore!
sh-sh-sh-short of the shore now!
sand packed deep
underneath your fingernails
go ahead
dig deeper!
it seems like
hope is buried right beneath
the ship's still sinking
we're just short of the shore!
sh-sh-sh-short of the shore now!
let's all go to the ocean
and
let's all drown ourselves
tonight
you're just short of the shore!
sh-sh-sh-short of the shore now!
watch the water!

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.

The singer is in a sinking ship, and is just far enough away from the shore that he's drowning.
