Overboard Lyrics

Every little thing that you have gone through.
I know you're lonely waiting on the moon
I was listing all the ways to find you
I know you're lonely waiting on the moon

Now I'm understanding what I'm hearing
you knew you only borrowed what you're worth
I was listing all the ways to find you
I don't wanna be the one to burn

Open em wide I'm overboard
Maybe I was just your novelty
Open em wide I'm overboard
You decide on where you wanna be

Now I'm understanding what I'm feeling
You knew you'd never borrow what you're worth
I was listing all the ways to fail you
I told you I would be the one to burn

Open em wide I'm overboard
Maybe I was just your novelty
Open em wide I'm overboard
You decide on where you wanna be

Open em wide I'm overboard
Maybe I was just your novelty
Open em wide I'm overboard
You decide on where you wanna be

Open em wide, open em wide, open em wide
Open em wide, open em wide, open em wide
Open em wide, open em wide, open em wide
Open em wide, open em wide, open em wide

Every little thing that you have gone through. 
I know you're lonely waiting on the moon 
I was listing all the ways to find you 
I know you're lonely waiting on the moon

Now I'm understanding what I'm hearing 
you knew you only borrowed what you're worth 
I was listing all the ways to find you 
I don't wanna be the one to burn

Open em wide I'm overboard 
Maybe I was just your novelty 
Open em wide I'm overboard 
You decide on where you wanna be

Now I'm understanding what I'm feeling 
You knew you'd never borrow what you're worth 
I was listing all the ways to fail you 
I told you I would be the one to burn

Open em wide I'm overboard 
Maybe I was just your novelty 
Open em wide I'm overboard 
You decide on where you wanna be

Open em wide I'm overboard 
Maybe I was just your novelty 
Open em wide I'm overboard 
You decide on where you wanna be

Open em wide, open em wide,  open em wide 
Open em wide, open em wide,  open em wide 
Open em wide, open em wide,  open em wide 
Open em wide, open em wide,  open em wide

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 absolutely love this song. I first heard it on clonehigh, one of my friends let me borrow his dvds and when I heard this song, I kept playing it over and over again. It is amazing.
