Over And Over Lyrics

Over and over
Just as plain as can be
Taken for granted
Out in the open
Easy to see

Taking my chances
I'm counting my shoes
I'm playing a game
Making it easy
Counting in two's

By the time you get started
You're already through
Just a matter of time till it shows
Like reading the headlines
Yesterday's news
Over and over

That's how it goes
Or haven't you heard?
Talking so fast
Only at the same time
Searching for words

It's all about the same thing
Underneath the disguise
Just like they say
If you're looking for answers
Open your eyes

And sooner or later
It's easy to see
Just a matter of time till it shows
Like keeping a secret
Ev'ryone knows
Over and Over

And sooner or later
It's easy to see
Just a matter of time till it shows
Like keeping a secret
Ev'ryone knows
Over and Over
Over and Over

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.

This reminds me of the Edna St. Vincent Millay quote: "Life isn't one damn thing after another--it's the same damn thing over and over again."

the blindness and the making of mistakes. the very ones we did and went through, the same ones we'll go through again. more and more losing track of things, unable to catch up, chose the easy way goin' throu life, numb or clueless, the same goes on and on, until its all wasted, or maybe either until we can wonder about true reasons behind, and stop cheating on ourselves. it's all about what we've learnt ot not. best to know it takes quite some time to see some evidences
