Tidal Wave Lyrics

Day by day, we watch the gold bar
Saved by fame, I see you and you're going far
You're truly at the door
Of some great admiration

Oh, what a sweet serenade
And the night is still young
Oh, there's a flood coming soon
And this rush hits me just like a...

Last Friday, I see you in the photo booth
You changed your name
The screen really takes to you
Yeah, you're really breaking through
On some great accolades

Oh, what a sweet Saturday
And the night is still young for love
There's a flood coming soon
And this rush hits me just like a
Tidal wave, a tidal wave,
a tidal wave, a tidal wave

Oh, there's a flood coming soon
and the night is still young for love,
Feel the tug of the moon
completely gone on a tidal wave...

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.
