World Watching Lyrics

Oooo

I knew this was a dream
I suddenly awoke
I wonder if they could see
The world is watching me
Got to keep moving
Got to keep moving on
(It’s good to know you’re here)
Got to keep moving
Got to keep moving on
You’ll see

I hit a bump in the road (I hit a bump in the road)
It’s shakin’ thoughts in my soul
I’ll keep my guilty hands clean from now on (I keep my guilty hands clean)
The world is watching me
Got to keep moving
Got to keep moving on
(It’s good to know you’re here)
Got to keep moving
Got to keep moving on
You’ll see

Whatever good may be
I make it up as I go
A leading role in a silent movie
The world is watching me

Got to keep moving
Got to keep moving on
(It’s good to know you’re here)
Got to keep moving
Got to keep moving on
You’ll see

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.

World Watching Goodwin: This was one of the first songs we ever worked on. We didn't get it together for the first album, so we made sure it made it onto this one. Dan’s guitar part alone does it for me. It has a half-strummed, half-fingerpicked feel. The groove feels good throughout. Lyrically, the song is about realizing that what we do right now will have an affect on what is to come--even the things you do when no one else is around to see. The song is loaded with harmony and has a really sweet drum break at the end.
