Me, I'm A Thief Lyrics

here comes again
blood in the vein
seven a.m the cars come
gotta fly
gotta say goodbye
leave them before they leave me

turning the sheets
rolling in his sleep
he wants me to go faster
I know that she's
somewhere underneath
but I don't know how to find her

me, I'm a thief
I'm a falling star
I'm a photograph taken
from where you are

I love you still, always will
here's hoping you'll be waiting but I
gotta fly
gotta say goodbye
gotta find out what's aching

me, I'm a thief
I'm a falling star
I'm a photograph taken
from where you are

Shed your tears
that's what they're for
I don't expect you to understand this war

I go quietly
no you don't get me
no you don't get me

and oh they beg me to steal
there's nothing, nothing to feel
and oh they beg me steal

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 think its about escaping commitment because you're scared of feeling something. i get this from the part where it says: "seven a.m the cars come gotta fly gotta say goodbye leave them before they leave me

turning the sheets rolling in his sleep he wants me to go faster"

the part that says: "gotta say goodbye leave them before they leave me " it think this means she's insecure about her relationship and thinks the guy is going to leave her.

there's yet another part: "I'm a photograph taken from where you are " i think this means that she's what everyone else wants her to be, not who she really is. i think this song is about soul searching. peace, savannah

i think this song is about being in a relationship when you've got personal issues and soul searching to do, so you can't probably give to the relationship, so all you do is take (ie, "me, i'm a thief"). i also see this in lines like where it says "i know that she's somewhere underneath but i don't know how to find her" and "i don't expect you to understand this war". so it's just about not being able to give what you take from someone
