Overexposed - Sleep On It

You give up a few things

Chasing a dream

I keep running away from

Every sin I made at seventeen

Took the scenic route

Down a dead end street

Thought I’d find you there

Thought I’d find what I might need

Oh sweet oxygen

Let me breathe again

And it shows

I’m overexposed with fear in tow

The same lyrical tropes and overused notes

Well I cut the rope

That I tied to the past

I’ve always known

I’d like to be the water where you float

You’re begging for a reason

I’m trying to explain

That what you’re hearing’s

What I need to say

Been crawling through the darkness

Been fighting off the pain

My scars still show

It gets worse every day

Oh sweet oxygen

Let me breathe again

With your hands around my neck

I’m starting to give in

And it shows

I’m overexposed with fear in tow

The same lyrical tropes and overused notes

I cut the rope

That I tied to the past

I’ve always known

I’d like to be the water where you float

The sins I made at seventeen

Have started crashing down on me

I’m swimming against

The currents of regret

That brought you to me

It shows

I’m overexposed with fear in tow

The same lyrical tropes and overused notes

I cut the rope

That I tied to the past

I’ve always known

I’d like to be the water where you float
