Swimmer Lyrics

Some summer you have planned for me
Look at all these tourists as they flock to the sea
Gettin' in the water like it's nothing
But it's not without a consequence
I hear it comes quite naturally
But that description doesn't fit with me
Not going over, never going under
Not without a consequence

The narrows, the river
Empty into the sea

Some summer you have planned for me
Emptied into the sea
Some summer you have planned for me
Emptied into the sea
Oh, oh, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah

Such a good man, had a good job
I'd take up swimming for the Patriarch
Now dispersed so casually like sediment into the sea
The swollen moon all flushed with red
One eclipse away from the bay of the dead
It ain't right, I'm telling you
It's more than coincidence

One stroke at a time, on my way back to land
It's better for me with my feet in the sand

Some summer you have planned for me
Emptied into the sea
Some summer you have planned for me
Emptied into the sea
Oh, oh, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah

Deep In The Woods

Some summer you have planned for me
Look at all these tourists as they flock to the sea
Gettin' in the water like it's nothing
But it's not without a consequence
I hear it comes quite naturally
But that description doesn't fit with me
Not going over, never going under
Not without a consequence

The narrows, the river
Empty into the sea

Some summer you have planned for me
Emptied into the sea
Some summer you have planned for me
Emptied into the sea
Oh, oh, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah

Such a good man, had a good job
I'd take up swimming for the Patriarch
Now dispersed so casually like sediment into the sea
The swollen moon all flushed with red
One eclipse away from the bay of the dead
It ain't right, I'm telling you
It's more than coincidence

One stroke at a time, on my way back to land
It's better for me with my feet in the sand

Some summer you have planned for me
Emptied into the sea
Some summer you have planned for me
Emptied into the sea
Oh, oh, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah

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.
