The Divide Lyrics

Looking out across the coast
I can't find the divide
Maybe the ocean is a ghost
Living in the horizon
And my heart beats fast
As I count the miles from the city line
No, I'm not running
Oh I'm just stealing time

And if I don't go
How will I ever know
what's on the other side?
When I can't tell the wheel from the road
Or the sea from the sky
Gotta find
I gotta find
Find the divide

Mmmmm

Well I drove a lonely distance
Til the road turned to fire
Oh, the night's moving in around me
But i'm not tired
Yeah my heart beats fast
Shadows win the fight against the east
Oh
The lines are blurry now
and i can't tell the lion from the beast
Oh

If I don't go
Then how will I ever know
What's on the other side?
When I can't tell the wheel from the road
Or the sea from the sky
I gotta find
I gotta find
Find the divide

Oh
Oh

Oh if I don't go
How will I ever know
What's on the other side?
And I can't tell the wheel from the road
The sea from the sky
I've gotta find
I gotta find
Find the divide

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.
