Overgrown Lyrics

I don't want you to know
I took it with me
But when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes in the constants stay
So if that is how it is

I don't wanna be a star
But a stone on the shore
Long door frame in a wall
Where everything's overgrown

But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

And I don't want you to know
I took it with me
But when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes and the constants stay
So if that is how it is

I don't wanna be a star
But a stone on the shore
Lone door frame in a wall
Where everything's overgrown

But what she really really wanted was my rights in the rooms
And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

And I don't want you to know
I took it with me
But when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes in the constants stay
So if that is how it is

I don't wanna be a star
But a stone on the shore
Lone door frame in a wall
Where everything's overgrown

But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along
And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

And I don't want you to know
I took it with me
But when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes and the constants stay
Time passes and the constants stay
Time passes and the constants stay
Time passes and the constants stay

Why Don't You Call Me

I don't want you to know
I took it with me
But when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes in the constants stay 
So if that is how it is

I don't wanna be a star
But a stone on the shore
Long door frame in a wall
Where everything's overgrown

But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

And I don't want you to know
I took it with me
But when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes and the constants stay
So if that is how it is

I don't wanna be a star
But a stone on the shore
Lone door frame in a wall
Where everything's overgrown

But what she really really wanted was my rights in the rooms
And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

And I don't want you to know
I took it with me
But when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes in the constants stay 
So if that is how it is

I don't wanna be a star
But a stone on the shore
Lone door frame in a wall
Where everything's overgrown

But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along
And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

And I don't want you to know
I took it with me
But when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes and the constants stay 
Time passes and the constants stay 
Time passes and the constants stay 
Time passes and the constants stay

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.
