Pocket Lyrics

I got a couple of bags on my back
My hair tied up, I'm starting to crack my head
against the wall and floor
The blood keeps coming and I just can't take anymore
I just can't take anymore

I'm just waiting for a change in your barriers
'Cause in my heart I hesitate with what I'm thinking of

I've been swimming for a hundred miles
My arms' getting sore but I'm not turning back
until I'm faster than a whale or a shark
Trust me now brother time to win a new shark attack
Win another shark attack

I'm just waiting for a change in your barriers
'Cause in my heart I hesitate with what I'm thinking of

'Cause nobody loves a spaceman
And nobody loves their friends
You look at me like I'm crazy
but you'll get what you deserve
When suddenly the world stops
And you think I'm not around
Look down baby, I'm probably in your pocket now

I'm just waiting for a change in your barriers
'Cause in my heart I hesitate with what I'm thinking of

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 don't know if I'm sure, probably not, but yesterday I watched a very intimate interview to Biffy on YouTube where Ben talked about his alcohol problems of the last couple of years. He said something about an accident that was his wake up call: he woke up one day with a wound on his head and ear, and blood all over his head and he had no clue how he got hurt. So the lines: "I'm starting to crack my head against the wall and floor The blood keeps coming and I just can't take anymore I just can't take anymore" just reminded me of that.
