Overboard

September seems so wrong this year
It's hard for you to find a reason to hold on
This perfect harmony's been sung suspiciously
Endured for far too long

Decadent is what I seem to be
It's hard for me to find a reason to be fine
Somehow the stress I've built outweighs the pain and guilt
Of leaving you behind

I can't take back what I can't undo
Now I know I've done deceiving
Let's take this back to a time more true
And make you realize that this is life
Not the answer and no one here is right
And this is just, just the demons I always seem to fight

I dream of a place where we'll find our relief
Far away from our own disbelief
Defenses down, my turn to feel
The ground slip from my feet, to feel my heart lose beat

I've shown you numb reactions to these blunt reenactments
Of the same old lines
How could we throw these feelings overboard
Into a sea of hateful memories?
And if they drown, so does everything
We thought we could achieve

So I'm clinging to these moments we've lost

I can't take back what I can't undo
Now I know I've done deceiving
Let's take this back to a time more true
And make you realize that this is life
Not the answer and no one here is right
And this is just, just the demons I always seem to fight

Accursed by this distance
We're separate but still we're confined
If home is for the heart to decide
I reside in you
We're leaving this all
We're leaving this all behind

I dream of a place where we find our relief
Far away from our own disbelief
