Swim Lyrics

I'm swimming all the time
I'm swimming for my life
And all i do is swim
I'm swimming for my life

You can swim she said
You can swim she said

More and more of less and less
The charm of no success
It's nowhere to be seen
It's someone else's dream

Words too short to speak
Words i meant to keep
I don't understand
I don't understand
Words too short to speak
Words i meant to keep
Don't know what to be you're confusing me

I never understood
Just how she thought i could
Me and my future wife
Above a plain of knives

You can swim she said
You can swim she said

I'm swimming all the time
I'm swimming for my life
And on some dreary day
I'll swim my life away

Words too short to speak
Words i meant to keep
I don't understand
I don't understand
Words too short to speak
Words i meant to keep
Don't know what to be you're confusing me

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.

Where are the "happiness" verses?

Happiness is home When you're not alone Happiness is pets, hugs and no regrets Happiness is near only when you're here Happiness is there when you really care Happiness reprise music for the mind * Not confident about this lyric... Happiness is kind it's a state of mind Happiness is here only when you're near

My Interpretation

i think it's happiness reprise music for the mice... not sure either though, but it sounds more like mice than mind at the end.
