Over Me

(album: Close The Distance - 2012)

It's 3 o'clock and I'm still underneath every cloud over me
And every face that I pass on the street says you will be loved without me
And then you say
It's hard to love when I'm the one left standing
Hard to smile without a change of pace
I just lost myself in the days
It's hard to miss what I can't hold on to
And try to keep what I can't embrace
It don't leave much left for this space

Now all the hope and all the fear
And everything we built this year
Is breaking down around us now
And falling with your perfect tears
If love could lift us over everything
All we need's a set of wings

I used to know every crease in our sheets
And how you'd feel underneath
And every sound that you'd make in your sleep
So who's the stranger here beside me
And then she says I know you want to go, but you just can't blame me
I'm the only one here by myself
I'm the one that put my life on the shelf
I'll never understand why you can't be with me
Never slow down, never save yourself
Tell me was it worth it?
Tell me it helped

Now all the hope and all the fear
And everything we built this year
Is breaking down around us now
And falling with your perfect tears

Now all the hope and all the fear
And everything we built this year
Is breaking down around us now
And falling with your perfect tears
If love could lift us over everything
All we need's a set of wings
If love could lift us over
All we need's a set of wings

It's 3 o'clock and I'm still underneath every cloud over me

Now all the hope and all the fear
And everything we built this year
Is breaking down around us now
And falling with your perfect tears
If love could lift us over everything
All we need's a set of wings
If love could lift us over
All we need's a set of wings
[x2]

And all we need's a set of wings
And all we need's a set of wings
