William Tell Override Lyrics

hard making conversation
to your teeth
hide high to stay either
been gone all week

people live for such a long time
eighty years to get one right

take white light i'll take paper
come back blank
no time for conversation
too much to say

we think you live for such a long time
you can take this as you like

this is the sun beating on your door
feels like a gun right between the eyes
warming you sunshine
william tell override

white lies and dedication
have a see
glass act of swing your hammer
this isn't me

i've searching for the right kind
one who doesn't aim so high

this is the sun a life long suicide
cold as a gun in hands that can't decide
warming her sunshine
william tell override

when i took it to the man
he said "we're doing all we can"
then he shook my hand

this is the sun, most of that you know
feels like a gun shining through your window
warming her sunshine
william tell override

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.

hide high to stay either Kite high in tuesday ether

take white light i'll take paper come back blank jet white like all day paper comes back blank

we think you live for such a long time we think you'll live for such a long time now

this is the sun beating on your door this is the sun beating down your door

warming you sunshine warm in your sunshine

glass act of swing your hammer glass actor swing your hammer

have a see have a seat

i've searching for the right kind i've been searching for the right kind

most of that you know closer than you know

warming her sunshine warm in her sunshine
