Hey, I'm Drowning Lyrics

One day I swam all the way across the ocean
I swallowed just the right amount of water
To fall asleep and not get scared
But just the other day I was
Shooting clay pigeons and calling dry shots
I felt that I dissapeared
Want to get caught?
I was caught off guard when the landing
Suffocated in the snow while he's slumbering
Then I can't go
Was it my fault?
I should have said "No"
One day I swam all the way across the ocean

I swallowed just the right amount of water
To fall asleep and not get scared
Sleeping and talking and stealing
Sleeping and talking and stealing

I will make sure to mean absolutely nothing
I've been staring down your neighbors
I've been staring down their kids
And I
Tried to break your fingers
I squeezed them real hard
But I got caught off guard
While he's on the landing
I can't let go

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.
