Five Minutes Lyrics

I'm right here
Five minutes at a time, I'm gone
I can't breathe, I'm in too deep
So take me up to the surface
Take me up to the surface

I won't dream for fear of sleep
Take me up to the surface
Take me up to the surface

Could you see beyond the leaves
When it was me who was searching
To take you up to the surface

And I was lost, but I was free
It took the pain to remind me

We loved you every time
We loved you every time

I'm right here
Five minutes at a time, I'm gone

I can't relate to what I say
Cause I'm not myself
I can't relate to what I say
Cause I'm not myself, I'm not

I'm right here
Five minutes at a time, I'm gone
I'm right here
Five minutes at a time, I'm gone

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.
