Overtime
Overtime
Style:
Latin-style Ballad
Full Lyric:
Verse 1
We’re in overtime,
we’ve had our fling
We’re in overtime, Dear,
we had everything
The Moon ate from our hands,
The Sun hid from our smiles
The snowflakes on Walnut Street,
Danced with us for miles
Verse 2
Dealt some extra cards, some aces in the hole
Play them as they lie,
Dear, well beyond our control,
How many or how strong the hand,
but on and on we go
Open books to each other, but always more to know
Bridge
Can’t give a moment away,
To Romeo and Juliet
A million curtain calls, they
Haven’t made it through yet
Verse 3
The highs not as high, now
The lows less low
No more smoke in our eyes, Dear, though the Devil we still know,
Like fine wine we are clearer, But yet like vinegar
Our world is harsher, too
As body as in soul,
Still the vibe comes through
Bridge Solo
Overtime
Overtime
Verse 4
Check out on our terms,
No slippery slope for us
Draw the line right here, Love,
We’ve lived enough,
To know this isn't life, anymore
Don’t hesitate, to do what we must do,
To free us, to ourselves be true
But not yet, not yet
My Darling not quite yet
Oooooo Overtime ooooooo
