Show Me the Way Lyrics

I wonder how you're feeling
There's ringing in my ear
And no one to relate to except the sea
Who can I believe in?
I'm kneeling on the floor
There has to be a force. Who do I phone?
The stars are out and shining. But all I really want to know

Oh won't you show me the way
I want you show me the way

Well, I can see no reason
You're living on your nerves
When someone drops a cup and I submerge
I'm swimming in a circle I feel I'm going down
There has to be a fool to play my part
Someone thought of healing but all I really want to know

Oh won't you show me the way
I want you show me the way
I want you show me the way
I want you day after day

I wonder if I'm dreaming
I feel so unashamed
I can't believe this is happening to me.
I watch you when you're sleeping
And I wanna slap your face

Oh won't you show me the way
I want you show me the way
I want you show me the way
I want you day after day

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.
