Meet Me At The Harbour Lyrics

I've contacted someone that I've always wanted
I've contacted someone that I've always wanted to be
To talk about reality
You and me
We'll talk about cruel cruel reality...

The best plan is to stay in one place
If you can't go outside, there'll be no
The best plan is to stay in one place
If you can't call outside

Meet me at the harbour
I'll meet you where I find you
Communications found out
Meet me at the harbour
I'll meet you where I find you
Communications found out

I contacted someone that I always wanted
I contracted someone that I've always wanted to see
To talk about reality
You and me
We'll talk about cruel cruel reality...

The best plan is to stay in one place
If you can't crawl outside, there'll be no..
The best plan is to stay in one place
If you can't call outside...

Meet me at the harbour
I'll meet you where I find you
Communications found out
Meet me at the harbour
I'll meet you where I find you
Communications found out
Communications found out
Communications found out...

I've contacted someone that I've always wanted
I've contacted someone that I've always wanted to be
To talk about reality
You and me
We'll talk about cruel cruel reality...

The best plan is to stay in one place
If you can't go outside, there'll be no
The best plan is to stay in one place
If you can't call outside

Meet me at the harbour
I'll meet you where I find you

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.

Kickass song.

I have no idea what it's about. Some sort of clandestine meeting ("at the harbour") that's been exposed (communications found out).

I dunno. Maybe it's just about getting busted for hiring a hooker.
