I Woke Up Lyrics

i woke up
drunk from the sun
sitting on your patio
sand in my teeth
wine on my shirt
i can't go to mexico
with you
or anybody else
i know
these words are not my words
they leave me tired and absurd
do you see this coming
you must have seen it coming

i woke up

i woke up
drunk from the sun
spinning in your multiverse
bats in my mask
the thunder it clapped
an icy archipelago
with everybody else i know
i lost you in the snow
and i feel awake but alone
but i see this coming
i must have seen it coming
oh keep calm

i woke up
i woke up
oh i thought of yesterday
yes i thought of yesterday
the plans we made
the things we said
all of the things we said
and never meant

i woke up
i woke up

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.
