The Stall Lyrics

I want to calm you down like I could once in your life
Want to settle all your worries, how to make you feel alright
When you think, get scared and hurt, like there's just no getting through
But I won't give up on you
But I won't give up on you
But I won't give up on you
But I won't give up on you
Though I think you want me to

And when you wake up full afraid that the only way to be brave is to give em a strong face
Don't you know who you're letting down
Lay it off, press it down
Shake it off, everybody's got the same
Got the same shedding skin
Letting go, not giving in
Letting go's not giving in
Letting go's not giving in so break down
You know you really want to break out
Follow your lead you got to, no doubt
You know you really want to break out
Love is love is no place for it
Love is love is no place for it

Want to calm you down
Like I could once in your life
Want to settle all your worries
Gonna make you feel alright
Settle all your worries
Gonna make you feel alright
Settle all your worries

I get high when I'm low
I get wrong when I go
So break down
You know you really want to break out
Follow your lead you got to, no doubt
You know you really want to break out
Love is love is the place for it
Love is love is the place for it
Love is love is the place for it

Break down you know you want to out, you know you want to break out
Love is love is the place for it

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.

Before a show at Irving Plaza in NYC in 2017, vocalist Emily Kokal said it was written for her sister.

The songwriting sounds like it’s coming from a place of pleading someone to let you help them when they don’t want you to.
