Let The Waters Overtake Us Lyrics

Wait up for me, I’ve been running forever. My heart has been beating too slow to catch up with my feet. So this is what it’s like to be alone. I never thought I’d end up like this. And for the first time in my life I find myself on my knees (reaching up) to the sky. I am the greatest of all pretenders. You will never know how my insides burn. Please don’t wake me up. My soul hurts to even be. What have I found in this life of mine except that no one can ever find true happiness without finding it within themselves first? I shouldn’t have to feel this way. No one should have to feel this way. Sometimes the only way out, is giving in.

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.
