I've Set Sail Lyrics

It's soon but I've set sail again
The wind feels right this time
The waves are small
But they rock my boat
Just enough
It's soon but I've set sail again

I've put my trust in the constellations
The pinholes of hope
That steer my boat
I've put my heart in the hands
Of the man in the moon
It's soon but I've set sail again

And If you get seasick
I'll drop anchor and hold you close
And if you get sunstroke
I'll let you sit in the hull of my boat

It's soon but I've set sail again
The moon feels right this time
It's big and it's bright
And it's in line
With the stars
It's soon but I've set sail again
It's soon but I've set sail again

And If you get seasick
I'll drop anchor and hold you close
And if you get sunstroke
I'll let you sit in the hull of my boat

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.

This is how I picture this song when I listen to it.

It's soon but I've set sail again The wind feels right this time The waves are small But they rock my boat Just enough It's soon but I've set sail again

I think this part is about starting over with something that you have tried but failed at in the past. "I've set sail" implies that he has set out again to give something another shot. He then begins to tell how he feels its the right time to start anew, and his inspiration, or possibly his own ideas, are just enough to get him to try once more. I've put my trust in the constellations The pinholes of hope That steer my boat I've put my heart in the hands Of the man in the moon It's soon but I've set sail again

Like before, he is talking about how he has little ideas but he is starting again anyway. But, unlike other times, this time he is sticking to what he has planned, his ideas, etc.

And If you get seasick I'll drop anchor and hold you close And if you get sunstroke I'll let you sit in the hull of my boat

This is where I get a bit confused. It has nothing to do with my current interpretation, but I suppose that it was added to show emotion and love, which makes it sweet.

It's soon but I've set sail again The moon feels right this time It's big and it's bright And it's in line With the stars It's soon but I've set sail again It's soon but I've set sail again

Again, he feels it is right to start again.

And If you get seasick I'll drop anchor and hold you close And if you get sunstroke I'll let you sit in the hull of my boat

Again, love.

This song speaks to me since I am a confused artist. I focus really hard on doing something, and in the end, I either decide its terrible or get sick of the idea. So yeah. Inspiration.

Maybe it's about a new start with a new person?
