Don't Get Me Down (Come On Over Here) Lyrics

We spend a week awake but we leave the calls tonight.
The locals keep us up all day and night.
Seen the northern lights
And we’ve seen the Milky Way
And I miss home much more than they miss me.

Don’t waul, shout it out.
Don’t waul, shout it out.
Lie against the moonlit sky
Its pushing out the child I kiss.
Look up towards the stars and stay.
Just enjoy the ride and rest.
So come on over here.
Come on over here.
Got aches and pains and other things.
Come on over here
Come on over here.

Cheetah, don’t get me down.
Cheetah, don’t get me down.
Come on over here.
Come on over here.

Spent a week awake but we’re heading home tonight.
I’m gonna take you out and do it right.

Cheetah, don’t get me down.
Cheetah, don’t get me down.
Come on over here.
Come on over here.
Make the most, just this once.
Come on over here.
Come on over here

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.

Dont waul?

Haha, "Cheetah dont get me down"?

Im not sure that those lyrics are quite right, no offense to bkat004. This album has really been growing on me a lot recently after being very disappointed with it since it came out. But there are definitely many hidden gems.
