Gloves Off Lyrics

this is a song for the one that I love
I haven’t met them yet
but I’m quietly confident
but what if like you said
all I’m looking for doesn’t exist?
oh I have to believe it does

because it’s okay to fall down
It’s okay to crumble
I’ve seen this before
I have seen this before

you said you wanted to crawl down deep inside
but at this point
after last year
I am happy to be alive
and like that good Hole album
I can live through this,
I can live through worse
so play it back in reverse
oh play it back in reverse

because it’s okay to fall down
It’s okay to crumble
I’ve seen this before
I have seen this before

and you wanna camp out
and I wanna screw around in the dark, in the dark
but my hips won’t give anything away
not tonight, not to you
but I think we both know you will stay
and I’m surprised how this fits together
I’m surprised how we fit together
and that I will remember, oh and that I will remember

because it’s okay to fall down
It’s okay to crumble
I’ve seen this before
I have seen this before

and you wanna camp out
and I wanna fuck around in the dark, in the dark

pull me out alive

this is a song for the one that I love
I haven’t met them yet
but I’m quietly confident
but what if like you said 
all I’m looking for doesn’t exist?
oh I have to believe it does

because it’s okay to fall down
It’s okay to crumble
I’ve seen this before
I have seen this before

you said you wanted to crawl down deep inside
but at this point 
after last year 
I am happy to be alive 
and like that good Hole album
I can live through this,
I can live through worse
so play it back in reverse
oh play it back in reverse

because it’s okay to fall down
It’s okay to crumble
I’ve seen this before
I have seen this before

and you wanna camp out
and I wanna screw around in the dark, in the dark
but my hips won’t give anything away
not tonight, not to you
but I think we both know you will stay
and I’m surprised how this fits together
I’m surprised how we fit together
and that I will remember, oh and that I will remember

because it’s okay to fall down
It’s okay to crumble
I’ve seen this before
I have seen this before

and you wanna camp out
and I wanna fuck around in the dark, in the dark

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.
