Over and Out Lyrics

Panic and pressure are input as part of my wiring
And maybe I'm prepared for a shut down on three if this all gets too tiring
But maybe I am too scared

It's been sweet, but I'm over and out
It's been sweet, but I'm over and out
It's been sweet, like I've told you , but really I'm over you
See, I'm over and out

I'd finger the trigger myself if I thought it might help me
And maybe I'm prepared, but my options right now just don't seem very healthy
But maybe I'm just scared

It's been sweet, but I'm over and out
It's been sweet, but I'm over and out
It's been sweet, like I've told you , but really I'm over you
See, I'm over and out

I'm trying to think, but nothing is comin'.
I'm trying to speak, but all I can say, yeah all I can say is:

It's been sweet, but I'm over and out
It's been sweet, but I'm over and out
It's been sweet, like I've told you , but really I'm over you
See, I'm over and out

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.
