Shallow Lyrics

i won't hold my breath
been in too long i guess
only time will tell
i can't stand here waiting

give me a simple dream
once across a shallow stream
all in the name of change
but i can't stand here waiting

innocent is sent at last
represent my hollow past
underneath and falling fast
i can't stand here waiting

it's all an arrow so
i'm way off mark i know
release at least if all
'cause i can't stand here waiting

all my dreams were lost and found
set them up and knock 'em down
she's gone two thousand years
i can't stand here waiting

innocent is sent at last
represent my hollow past
underneath and falling fast
i can't stand here waiting

innocent is sent at last
represent my hollow past
underneath and falling fast
i can't stand here waiting

innocent is sent at last (i won't save my breath)
represent my hollow past (i won't hold my breath)
underneath and falling fast (i won't hold my....)
i can't stand here waiting

i won't hold my breath
    been in too long i guess
    only time will tell
    i can't stand here waiting
    
    give me a simple dream
    once across a shallow stream
    all in the name of change
    but i can't stand here waiting
    
    innocent is sent at last
    represent my hollow past
    underneath and falling fast
    i can't stand here waiting
    
    it's all an arrow so
    i'm way off mark i know
    release at least if all
    'cause i can't stand here waiting

all my dreams were lost and found
    set them up and knock 'em down
    she's gone two thousand years
    i can't stand here waiting
    
    innocent is sent at last
    represent my hollow past
    underneath and falling fast
    i can't stand here waiting

innocent is sent at last
    represent my hollow past
    underneath and falling fast
    i can't stand here waiting

innocent is sent at last (i won't save my breath)
    represent my hollow past (i won't hold my breath)
    underneath and falling fast (i won't hold my....)
    i can't stand here waiting

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.
