Orpheum Lyrics

Thought I knew will and self
Thought I could tame the rest of me
Then you waltzed onto the floor
Danced to your own beat

Am I losing control
Make me want this here
So much more
It's in the way you move
Am I moving your soul

You are the breath I hold
For every risk that I want to take
The way you spin up around
Deadens every other sound

Am I losing control
You make me want this here
So much more
It's in the way you move
Am I moving your soul
I want out of control
Make me want you here
So much more
It's in the way you move
Am I losing my soul

I want out
I want out of control
Want it all
Mind, body, and soul
Here and now
More than you’ll ever know

Am I losing control
You make me want this here
So much more
Am I moving your soul

Am I losing control
You make me want this here
So much more
It's in the way you move
Am I moving your soul
I want out of control
Make me want you here
So much more
It's in the way you move
Am I losing my soul

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.

Cover art for Orpheum lyrics by Anberlin

"There was a club in Tampa called The Orpheum where my love and I would go and hang out, we would end up dancing till the place shut down. So many good memories there, its where everything began.

I was lost in the music and the moment, and this song called for these words. I revisited The Orpheum in memories, and this song is what I came up with." - Stephen Christian anberlinlyrics.tumblr.com June 2014
