Hung Up and Overdue Lyrics

I'm so hung up I'm gonna go see her tonight
I'm so hung up I can't get her out of my mind

Could it be just stars in my eyes
Could it be this won't happen twice

We're overdue for a dream come true
Long time, nothing new
We're overdue for a dream come true

She said she's going to move to California on day
Said she's going out on safari to stay

She's tired of her job and the snow
We both need somewhere to go

We're overdue for a dream come true
Long time, nothing new
We're overdue for a dream come true

I'm so hung up on her now
I'm so strung out on her now

A gift from the sun to the moon
I hope something changes soon

We're overdue for a dream come true
Long time, nothing new
We're overdue for a dream come true

We're overdue for a dream come true
Long time, nothing new
We're overdue for a dream come true

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.
