Runner Lyrics

The hallways at the prep
The house of mirrors
We laugh at them because
Well I don't know why
Hahaha
Chime the giddy freshman
As I come in only to take the attendance
Hahaha
Sings the photo of the skateboarder
Above the dean of men's office
My aunt my own blood was in hysterics
As she tried to find the underground
Through silicone and twenty-five year old boyfriends
Hahaha
She laughed all the way to the ticket booth
And I couldn't bring myself to laugh at her
When she got out

So what am I supposed to say

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.

There's a line missing towards the end of the song-

All of the greatest stars see themselves through looking glass sometimes are shocked, and keep it to themselves.

Something like that. My favorite song of theirs.
