Lyrics
Overtime
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Blue eyes as pale as the white of a whale
Over time
Right off the rails, you were signed up to fail
Over time, all of the time
All the time I knew it was not true
But girls became women and boys became men
Over time
We were all becoming them
Over time, all of the time
All the time I knew it was not true
But the [?] in plastic surgeon eyes
Everyone around her looks so crazy
That's all she [?]
Working overtime
Overtime
She at home from a full day alone
Over time
But the kids left home as soon as they were grown
Over time, it's lonely and sad
All the time I knew it was not true
Over time, it's the loneliest time
Over time
