Overtures Lyrics

I know that you don’t want
Me in here with me
You are taking all of your time
To make sure things are sweet

No more empty overtures
No more empty overtures

When I opened my mouth
The empty words fall out
Cause I promise you the whole world
And only offer doubt

No more empty overtures
No more empty overtures

Stealing the sun is possible
So far grabs its seams
Still it shines through my words
Again, again, again, don’t you know
Again, again, again, it’s possible
Again, again, again, don’t you know

By my hand I build I
Till my up is down, now I
Why on earth don’t you run
When the sky falls to the ground

No more empty overtures
No more empty overtures

(Stealing the sun is possible)
(Stealing the sun) till my up is down
(Stealing the sun is possible)
(Stealing the sun) till my up is down
(Stealing the sun is possible)
(Stealing the sun) till my up is down
(Stealing the sun is possible)
(Stealing the sun) till my up is down
(Stealing the sun is possible)
(Stealing the sun) till my up is down
(Stealing the sun is possible)
(Stealing the sun) till my up is down
(Stealing the sun is possible)
(Stealing the sun) till my up is down
(Stealing the sun is possible)
(Stealing the sun) till my up is down

I know that you don’t want
Me in here with me
You are taking all of your time
To make sure things are sweet

No more empty overtures
No more empty overtures

When I opened my mouth
The empty words fall out
Cause I promise you the whole world
And only offer doubt

No more empty overtures
No more empty overtures

Stealing the sun is possible
So far grabs its seams
Still it shines through my words 
Again, again, again, don’t you know
Again, again, again, it’s possible
Again, again, again, don’t you know

By my hand I build I
Till my up is down, now I 
Why on earth don’t you run
When the sky falls to the ground

No more empty overtures
No more empty overtures

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.
