I Wrote a Song About the Oceans Lyrics

I wrote a song about the ocean I wrote a song about my love
I know you can't cage what once ceased movin'
If you wanna touch her once resent ashore (?)

Her tears taste just like the ocean
I know I tremble to their touch
She says that life is made of struggles
and the dead just didnt struggle quite enough

I like to lie down on the ocean
and clear the city from my lungs
Sometimes it rains while I'm driftin'
then I'm dried off by the sun

Now some men believe that they are giants
They stomp their feet against the ground
But if they came across a ocean
they wouldnt feel like giants very long

I know my arms are only sails
and my boat is small and made of bone
I can't pretend that I am fearless
as I wait for the wind to come

I like to lie down on the ocean
and clear the city from my lungs
Sometimes it rains while Im driftin'
and then I'm dried off by the sun
Mhmm

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.
