Stories Unglued Lyrics

I tumble in two hours late
The Time Gestapo ask me to explain
I say car trouble and that's no lie
The trouble was I didn't get into my car on time

I'm screwed, I'm screwed
My story's coming unglued
And you will realise that I knew the truth
And chose to misread you
I'm doomed by every extra word I choose

And I am failed by their restraint
To interrupt my lying tirade
So I keep digging a deeper hole for me
To get back out I just might
Have to start to dig sideways

I'm screwed, I'm screwed
My story's coming unglued
And you will realise that I knew the truth
And chose to misread you
I'm doomed by every extra word I choose

And only the truth can rescue me
But I cling to the lie like the love of my life

And though I should
Admit defeat
What kind of liar would that make me?
My reputation would be in shreds
I guess I'm lucky that when we met I gave them a fake name

I'm through, I'm through
Being who you knew
All due to manipulating truth
I'm screwed and all for pleasing you
Who knew? So much grief from such a small excuse
Excuse the truth

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.
