Howe Sounds Lyrics

I took my car down to the waterfront
Put it in park, yeah I got some plans for us
We'll make a boat out of the ocean wood
Then we could float out into the water

I'll drop a line down into the blue sea
You'll close your eyes just like you always wanted
I'll catch a fish bigger than you and me
Now I'm a fisherman just like I always wanted

And be still
Ain't this a nice view of the city?
All those people way up there
They don't know what they're missing

We'll catch a current down to the river mouth
We'll paddle hard, yeah we are gonna make it this time
We'll fuck the flow right up into the lake
Where we could drink, sunburn, jump in

We'll sink the boat, float upon our body fat
Yeah, I've got love handles but I cannot handle love
I'm sinking fast, I'm sinking fast, I need salt
Yeah, I've got love handles but I cannot handle love

Let's go back to the coast, baby,
Westward to the ocean

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.
