The Well Lyrics

And the spell it was broken
And I saw with my own eyes
I never knew that the water could rise so very high
There was a time I remember
There was a time it was otherwise
There was a time that the water didn't rise and rise
But the wide open water leads to the sea
The wide open water can set you free
I never learned to turn my boat
Into the waves to survive
I let the cruel, cruel water just rise and rise
Was there a time, can I remember?
Was there a time when it was otherwise?
Was there a time that the water didn't rise so very high?
But the wide open water leads to the sea
The wide open water can set you free

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.
