Inevitable Thieves Lyrics

Inside we would kiss lips
and outside causing mischief
We used to run tag run, frozen unfrozen,
We were the kids that caused the commotion
Yes we were mischeivous, never were we burglars
Wish we'd play now that we are older
I miss you I miss you and that is a fact
But you've got a man and I ain't no burglar.

Keys in the sofa somwhere outta sight
You in my sweater with entirely different lines
And eyeliner on my shoulder and where did we go?
I wish I could see you some more
But your man's probably sick and tired of me
He's a siren to slow inevitable thieves

We used to run tag run, frozen unfrozen,
We were the kids that caused the commotion
Yes we were mischeivous but never were we burglars
Wish we'd play now that we are older
I miss you I miss you and that is a fact
But you've got a man and I ain't no burglar.

You and me, I think we've had too much to drink
How did we ever get our lives in sync
Boobless adolescence and an interested in Morrisey
is what kept us apart from burglars trying to come in between
The sirens that slow inevitable theives

We used to run tag run, frozen unfrozen,
Kidnap your friends before they get stolen
Yes we were mischeivous but never were we burglars
Wish we'd play now that we are older
I miss you I miss you and that is a fact
But you've got a man and I ain't no burglar.

Lets steal away. Those sirens chase us further away [repeats]

That's what we get for being young and in love [repeats]

Ghetto ways

Mama Your Boys Will Find A Home

Lay Down Your Weapons

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.

This song is one of the greatest! It's obviously about a guy who still has a crush on the girl he used to play with when they were younger but now she's in a relationship and he's not planning on ruining it or stealing her away he's considered an inevitable thieve because he's an obvious threat Love the beat and the piano piece in the background :)

Goodness, I'm really touched that somebody cared enough about one of our tracks to write down the lyrics. Not to mention, discuss them some. Thank you Laurie.

I shouldn't spoil the fun, but the lyrics are ALMOST dead on up there. Two exceptions:

You and me, I think we've had too much to "dream" How did we ever get our lives in sync Boobless adolescence and "our interest" in Morrisey is what kept us apart from burglars trying to come in between The sirens that slow inevitable thieves

2 Lets steal away. "Else" sirens chase us further...
