Sleep Peacefully Lyrics

what story should i tell
will it end happy or will it turn out well
what dreams do i owe
can i call anyplace my home

and i rock myself to sleep
and i tell myself don't get caught too deep
cause i know by now
you're not coming for me
and i tell myself move along
and i tell myself you were all wrong
but i know by now
wrong was right for me
sleep peacefully

ships sail across the sea
whether it's stormy or rocks gently
i wish you were a ship
i was gutted by the touch of my lips

and i rock myself to sleep
and i tell myself don't get caught too deep
cause i know by now
you're not coming for me
and i tell myself move along
and i tell myself you were all wrong
but i know by now
wrong was right for me
sleep peacefully
sleep peacefully
sleep peacefully

and i rock myself to sleep
and i tell myself don't get caught too deep
cause i know by now
you're not coming for me
and i tell myself move along
and i tell myself you were all wrong
but i know by now
wrong was right for me
sleep peacefully
sleep peacefully
sleep peacefully

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.
