The Overflow
Someday I will seek out your heart and I will not divide it.
Pull together each separate part and make it one again.
Too long that I’ve been gone, terrified of wrecking all my
friendships one by one.
Judging me for what I have not done.
It’s just a river, a current.
It’s just a heartbeat out of time.
And I’m afraid I’ll lose you all the time.
And I’m afraid I’ll lose you all the time.
A clock loses the turn of its hands, but time keeps ticking over.
The tightness of a task that is heavier now the list is longer
Too long that I’ve been gone, terrified of not getting things done
And every day there is still less time to do it in.
It’s just a river, a current.
It’s just a heartbeat out of time.
And I’m afraid I’ll lose you all the time.
And I’m afraid I’ll lose you all the time.
The overflow when it all gets too much.
Flat to the bed, but looking at an open door.
It’s just a river, a current.
It’s just a heartbeat out of time.
And I’m afraid I’ll lose you all the time.
And I’m afraid I’ll lose you all the time.

Burning bridges they fall one by one,
Losing you is so easily done.
I’m here but I’m not, alone in this room.
Feel like a ghost, I’d be scared of me too.
If I could let go, would I fit in?
Would I be what they want without all my inhibitions?
Caught on the edge reading my phone
So maybe I’ll feel like I’m not alone.
Always say what they want and not what I feel.
Cubic zirconia, say that it’s real!
Pushing myself like a square through a circle.
Not trying to be someone who’s lost at the wheel.
If I could let go would I fit in?
Would I be what they want without all my inhibitions?
Caught on the edge reading my phone
So maybe I’ll feel like I’m not alone.
Pushing myself, but I’m faking
Thought I’d be yours for the taking
Leave me alone with a book in my room
I’ll find myself there.
The outsider
The outsider
The outsider.
