Upstarts And Runaways Lyrics

Write a letter to myself with destination unknow
self destructive tendencies
self help's left me alone
beaten by myself sometimes & kicked the whole way down broken is around
tonight we dance until we're so far away
break the molds we're made gotta get away
& I know you don't listen to a word that you hear me say
fading fast hindsight was lost on us anyway
no where last no control like upstarts & runaways and tonight we dance
open letter never sent
neon skies above our heads
desert sands below
and I know you don't live the life I see you live everyday and tonight we dance

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.
