Confess Lyrics

Round and round the dial turns
Your finger itches but your vanity hurts
So you cross your friends off one by one
Either they're busy or they are no fun

Well, you can call me whenever you want
You can call me if your mouth needs to run

Your number's up it's by request
Do you have something to confess?
I'm out of touch you're out of breath
Do you have something to confess?

So round and round the dial turns
Your finger itches but your vanity hurts
And you know that all your friends will scream in horror
When they find you hanged by a phone chord

Well, you can call me whenever you want
You can call me if your mouth needs to run

Your number's up it's by request
Do you have something to confess?
I'm out of touch you're out of breath
Do you have something to confess?

You're out of touch I'm out of breath
Have you got something to confess?

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.

i dunno, there doesn't seem to be much hidden meaning in this song..

it's all pretty self explanitory, really

he's just talking to a girl who has thoughts of suicide because of her oh so tragic life, but the thing is that she takes her friends for granted, "Either they're busy or they are no fun"

but he wants her to talk to him. i guess.

meh.

Yeah, you pretty much got, I'd just like to point out that the line "round and round the dial turns" is one of those old phones with the circular dial thingy...
