Trip and Stumble Lyrics

And I haven't had an honest conversation in weeks
And irony rolls off my tongue much more easily
And I don't think it's mean, it just represents a chilling disconnect from reality
And nation building nation
States are captured in the acetate
Or filled through our heads through the flicker of the windows on our street as we're walking home
Is there any place that's sane?
Is there any place that makes sense?
And I said, "Things are bad."
Didn't I? Didn't I?

And we tripped and stumbled for half the walk home
And I said, "Things are bad."
Didn't I? Didn't I?
And we tripped and stumbled for half the walk home

What the fuck
Is this what passes for life?
I'm pretty sure this is the worst that I've ever felt
So fucked up
Even I'm talking crazy sometimes

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.
