Trip Me Up Lyrics

I could kick myself for leaving you
but then I guess I already have at least a thousand times
Ah, this endless parade of mimes
Lonely hearts and fools who wanna put themselves off on anyone as a piece of sun, a ray of light in every seedy starless night
I could kill myself loving you
but then everyone knows I will if I go out tonight
Ah, the hateful eyes of hindsight
Haunting how-it-will-be's; I'm gonna wrap myself around some young thing like a piece of string, a ball of twine
Like sunshine
I fell for you
And I'm still falling
When I hit the bottom, will I bounce back up
You trip me up
I could kick myself for leaving you
but then I guess I already have at least a thousand times
I fell for you
And I'm still falling
When I hit the bottom, will I bounce back up
You trip me up
I fell for you , and I'm still falling

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.

mad at yourself for leaving someone. but there's nothing you can say or really do. & basically, regret sucks. he wonders if he'll be able to recover from this, because he fall so hard for her. he just doesn't know how he can ever let go.

Yes I agree with you kickstart. I'm glad someone else commented! I also think that to fill his lonliness and regret he is going to find someone to be with just so he won't have to be alone, but he knows it will be cheap and meaningless. The parts that make me think that are:

Lonely hearts and fools who wanna put themselves off on anyone as a piece of sun, a ray of light in every seedy starless night

'm gonna wrap myself around some young thing like a piece of string, a ball of twine

My favorite part is " Ah, the hateful eyes of hindsight Haunting how-it-will-be's"

hindsight is always 20/20.

I find this one to have the most depressing sound of all their songs.
