Spin Driftin' Lyrics

I was hoping to be found alive in a pool of lies and
an ocean of tears
I was looking for a ship ahoy
I was waiting, bottom line, for a miracle
All I hope is that when they find me
I have the good sense to say a prayer
For all that is dear to me
I hope I still find them waiting there

Knowing that I should be grateful is not enough and no reason at all
It's only right to reveal my feelings
And even at times the best get bored

I was floating for quite a while with my fingers resting
in the deep blue sea
I was watching the spin drift dancing
Flowin' away to forever from me

I could have stayed forever and Sunday
Waiting for something or even someone
I could've watched the whole world pass me
Just for the sake of being reasonable

I was hoping to be found alive in a pool of lies and
an ocean of tears
I was looking for a ship ahoy
I was waiting, bottom line, for a miracle

All I hope is that when they find me
I have the good sense to say a prayer
For all that is dear to me
I hope I still find them waiting there

Knowing that I should be grateful is not enough or a reason at all
It's only right to reveal my feelings
And even at times the best get bored

I couldn have stayed forever and Sunday
Waiting for something or even someone
I could've watched the whole world pass me
Just for the sake of being reasonable

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.

I think this song is about trying to be true to yourself. Feeling how you want to feel rather than being told to be happy with your lot.
