Transpose Lyrics

Ooh, ooh, ooh (x4)

Sleepless nights are new to me,
All these thoughts are killing me,
Someone come and put me at ease.

All of my anxiety
There’s no cause that I can see.
What’s this scratching at my brain?

And I can’t stop even if I wanted to
Up top, maybe I’m simply deluded
That’s right, maybe I’ve been wasting my time
All my time

And it’s hard to justify what you can do
I’m so sick and tired of falling through and,
It’s true, maybe I’ve been wasting my time,
All this time, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh

I come creeping, no one can hear you now
Listen, so you can show me how,
Something that I’m missing here

Softly stop my evil dreams
Faster, help me fall asleep
No one knows that’s how it goes,
All the thoughts that we transpose.

And I can’t stop even if I wanted to
Up top, maybe I’m simply deluded
That’s right, maybe I’ve been wasting my time
All my time

And it’s hard to justify what you can do
I’m so sick and tired of falling through and,
It’s true, maybe I’ve been wasting my time,
All this time, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh (x6)

And I can’t stop even if I wanted to
Up top, maybe I’m simply deluded
That’s right, maybe I’ve been wasting my time
All my time

And it’s hard to justify what you can do
I’m so sick and tired of falling through and,
It’s true, maybe I’ve been wasting my time,
All this time, yeah

From time to time,
We fall in line,
But now it seems that we are blind.
No one knows that’s how it goes,
All the thoughts that we transpose.

Ooh, ooh, ooh (x9)

We Move Like the Ocean

Ooh, ooh, ooh (x4)

Sleepless nights are new to me,
All these thoughts are killing me,
Someone come and put me at ease.

All of my anxiety
There’s no cause that I can see.
What’s this scratching at my brain?

And I can’t stop even if I wanted to
Up top, maybe I’m simply deluded
That’s right, maybe I’ve been wasting my time
All my time

And it’s hard to justify what you can do
I’m so sick and tired of falling through and,
It’s true, maybe I’ve been wasting my time,
All this time, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh

I come creeping, no one can hear you now
Listen, so you can show me how,
Something that I’m missing here

Softly stop my evil dreams
Faster, help me fall asleep
No one knows that’s how it goes,
All the thoughts that we transpose.

And I can’t stop even if I wanted to
Up top, maybe I’m simply deluded
That’s right, maybe I’ve been wasting my time
All my time

And it’s hard to justify what you can do
I’m so sick and tired of falling through and,
It’s true, maybe I’ve been wasting my time,
All this time, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh (x6)

And I can’t stop even if I wanted to
Up top, maybe I’m simply deluded
That’s right, maybe I’ve been wasting my time
All my time

And it’s hard to justify what you can do
I’m so sick and tired of falling through and,
It’s true, maybe I’ve been wasting my time,
All this time, yeah

From time to time,
We fall in line,
But now it seems that we are blind.
No one knows that’s how it goes,
All the thoughts that we transpose.

Ooh, ooh, ooh (x9)

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.

This song to me is a failing relationship that keeps him up at night. He can't stop thinking, maybe I've been wasting my time, being 'simply diluted'- just trying to believe it will work out, but yet he can't stop thinking about it because when we get into relationships, we develop feelings that don't just go away. 'Softly, stab my evil dreams, Faster, help me fall asleep' is his struggle to let her go, his evil dreams that he can work it out but he wants them 'stabbed' because he knows that are false hopes, he wants to stop dreaming. "From time to time we fall in line" -sometimes the relationship seems to be working, "But now it seems that we are blind" but now it occurs to him that they aren't meant for each other.
