To The Sea Lyrics

Away...
Away...

You may have many problems
But I was never one
All I ask is take me to the sea

You had to take me somewhere
I realize it now
Listen now just take me to the sea

Away from flickering nights and crowded streets
Away from blinding lights and shining needs
Away from person hiding, breathing hard
Away from always paying on your card

This will be my way out
And you will be my guide
Don't argue, take me to the sea

I'm only asking this once
Please take me for a ride
All I ask is take me to the sea

To the sea
To the sea
To the sea
To the sea

Then leave me with the seagulls
Smile your sweetest smile
I'll kiss you like the salty Northern breeze

Drop silver on your forehead
And wave my last goodbye
All you do is take me to the sea

To the sea
To the sea
To the sea
To the sea . . .

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.

This song is one of my favorites ever because I love the beach. I think I was a fish in my past life [heh].It's sets this perfect daydreaming mood in the middle of winter! Lovin it!
