The Surface Lyrics

Waves crashing over
Think I'm going under
Will the savior keep me above the surface?
Someone in the distance
Please call me from this
Only you can keep me above the surface
Thinking that it all just might fade away
I'm terrified to fall 'cause I stepped out today
Sinking 'cause I know, I know I think too much
Save me, please save me
My eyes are keeping
Focused only on you
It's you that keeps me above the surface
I just can't stop...
The stronger the wind blows
The lesser my faith knows
And under the water
I'm colder, I'm farther
I wish I could keep it together
I don't want to let you down

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.
