Everyone's Got Something They're Running Out Of Lyrics

Confess I have kept
All that I create
Confess I have killed
All that I have kept
Pull up your shirt
Show some baby fat to the world
You know the commercials will walk with you

You're a flower
Wake up bastard

I could pretend dead if I want to
I could fake it
I could walk away if I got to
I could make it

I'm still losing
My virginities

This is how it feels
To know
Everyone's got something they're running out of

I could pretend dead if I want to
I could fake it (I could fake it)
I could walk away if I got to
I could make it (I could make it)
I could pretend dead if I want to
I could fake it (I could fake it)

But you're fast asleep
I'm a failure
Come down faster
I'm still losing
My virginities

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.

"Pull up your shirt Show some baby fat to the world You know the commercials will walk with you"

These lines are about insecurities, but maybe even more specifically physical insecurities. Most people experience dissatisfaction with their appearance, but so do the individuals society percieves to be "perfect". Even models are air-brushed.

This song is about rites of passage as well as the loss of "virginities", which I think includes emotional baggage like self-conciousness and parts of your past ("confess I have kept all that I create, confess I have killed all that I have kept"). It's about shedding personal anxieties but also a loss of innocence, a loss of things that can't be replaced, like your virginity. Things that "run out". It concerns the bitter-sweetness of growing up.
