All Nerve Lyrics

I wanna see you
Especially you
You don't know how much I miss you
I may be high, I may hide and run out at you
You don't know how much I miss you

I won't stop
I'll run you down
I won't stop
I will run you down
I'm all nerve
I'm all nerve

I hit the hull (oh God)
Oh god, I hit them all
You don't know how far I'd go
I may hide and jump out at you
You don't know how far I'd go

I won't stop
I won't stop
I will run you down
I'm all nerve
I'm all nerve

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 read somewhere that this song was about missing drugs.

"I hit the hull, oh god I hit them all" -could be she's tried everything, regretfully. " ha, ha I maybe hi"-could be hi or high. "I may hide and run out at you"-sobriety is one day at a time. she's trying. hard. "I won't stop, I will run you down"-she will fight this battle any way she can, she'll exhaust it before it exhausts her. "I'm all nerve"-most people who quit substances are a bundle of nerves cuz they're scared and can't fall back on what calmed her nerves.

Can't wait to see them in Buffalo!!!
