Country Report Lyrics

Swells high
As we slip through the waves
Feel space
Silver walls on each side
Leading up and above
Down
I am down

'Cause below the surge
I can follow this tide
I know
Water bends at the light
Touching down
I've arrived
I know
I've got to come up

I don't have to come up

I'm not fading at all
But our words feel gray
I can try and get strong if you're feeling this shy
'Cause the end of the day gathers cold towards our home
My strength drifts in tides,
'Cause I'm feeling your pain
Like it's my own
And you're always complaining
He's getting old

I'm not fading at all
And I see how I've changed
I'm not always as wise as I thought at times
Seems I'm not so strong with a hand to my side
As she asks to my face, "Is it really a change if you're not sure?"
Can you really engage when you're not sure?

And maybe you've changed
It gets you home

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.

Little did I know of Deakin's true talents...i look forward to hearing more of his stuff (be it with AC or not).

I particularly like the line "Is it really a change if you're not sure?"..it seems to prove that change is the only thing left unchanged, since being not sure of something is a capricious/whimsical mood that is often susceptible to change itself. thats probably not what Deakin meant at all, but the last lines (which were really the only ones i could make out on the first listen) just made me think of impermanence. song seems to be about some relationship or something...i really do not know. but anywho, my ears are happy.

wow. i love panda and avey's solo work, perhaps deakin is next. especially if it is well put together as this song. it's sort of like a mix of avey/panda, but i hear his style clearly. is there anything they put out now that doesn't sound like gold? i'm glad he made this, i'm looking forward to more deakin influenced songs!
