Stuff To Live For Lyrics

This is what I wait for
Every three hours take more
Don't you tell me life's a bore
I got stuff to live for

This is what I wait for
Each two hours take more
Don't you tell me life's a bore
I got stuff to live for

This is what I wait for
Every hour takes more
Don't you tell me life's a bore
I got stuff to live for

I got stuff to live for
I got stuff to live for

If you're new here
You'd have things to do here
If you knew, like I do
And I try, get you high, oh I

I got sound, no sound
I got eyes, no eyes
I got heart, no heart
I got a body that don't wanna be mine
I got nobody, I want to be mine
I got a body that don't wanna be mine
I got nobody, I want to be mine

This is what I wait for
Every minute take more
Don't you tell me life's a bore
I got stuff to live for

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 clearly about drugs, and not just bc pretty much every musician is on some sort of substance...this one really is. When you're in the addict mind set, drugs is almost in every thought and in that life style that's literally all you wait around for. All day. She also keeps saying, every 3 hours take more etc etc, and each time the time span gets smaller the more addicted u get the more often you need it. When you break down the lifestyle it's pretty fucking boring, you sit around and get fucked up all day, when ppl move into town they actually have 'normal' things to do liek bowling and blah blah blah...and obviously "STUFF to live for" is referring to some drug. A body that doesn't want to be mine, I'm presuming that refers to the fact that your body can't stand it but your brain is over powering it. Other than breaking all that down in my fucked up head and line of thinking Annie Hardy looks/acts like she's on something, girl def knows how to get down. I wish she was my best friend, but she's prob a bitchy addict in real life.

Kind of. This song, along with others (most notably 'Kevin is Gay'), is explicitly about Annie's battles with chronic pain (thanks to fibromyalgia and other conditions) and subsequent painkiller addiction. I think she's completely clean now, at least I got that impression the last time I spoke to her.
