Swept Away Lyrics

I get swept away
When I think of you
Take me to that place
Where it's control I lose

I'm soothed by you, you take it all away
I lose to you, surrendered at the start of the game

I'll never deceive
We're right here, always been

Hide away, I hide away with you
I let the world just slip away
I'm left with you

Your little masquerade, I'm sure of the mood
The moments we've shared
Always ended too soon

Part of you stays a while
Even when you're far away
How so far away, yet you feel so near

Hide away, I hide away with you
I let the world just slip away
I'm left with you

Your little masquerade, I'm sure of the mood
The moments we've shared
Always ended too soon

Part of you stays a while
Even when you're far away
How so far away, yet you feel so near

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.
