I Know My Ocean Lyrics

I know my ocean
And I know when the time is right
And I know what it feels like
When every night is the same
Every night is the same

I know my taste
And I know a heartache
And I know a nice place to get started again
Get it started again

And I'm back in time with you again

I know how to keep my word
And tightly tie my tongue
And I know how to run from and hide from and learn from and love someone

I know a promise
I know how to take my time
And I know how to recreate a moment without faking that I'm fine just for you
Fine just for you

And I'm back in time with you

I know a certain look
And I know what to say to it
And know you're faking it in the look you shoot back, there's no mistaking it

I know a wake up call
And I know to escape it
Yeah and I know how to get to places on roads never taken nor known to go anywhere
Never known to go anywhere

And I'm back in time with you there
Yeah, I'm back in time with you there.

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.
