It's Over When It's Over

I've got my life laid out in front of me like roads drawn on the map

I've had so many times where I slipped off the beaten path

I took the time to see the picture and for what it's worth

I'd walk a thousand miles without my shoes to make it worse

I swore to God that I'm never coming back

Kept my faith when I was clapped

Staring at the wall through a crack in the floor

And these metal doors, they've got me trapped

I gotta remind myself that my mind is strong

So that I won't lose my head

I've got my demons that I fight with

Every little thought in every breath

I wear my heart up on my sleeve so my soul's exposed

And I carry this disease, the plague of the holy ghost

God, can you hear me? God is missing

Take it back, take it back, my friend

All the things that you said about the end

This is it, this is me telling you it ain't over til it's over

Give it up, give it up, my friend

The score is settled even if you won't admit

Set it down, final hour without a doubt, it's over when it's over

You've got your life laid out in front of you, like a car crash

I'm cautious at the wheel cause you were driving too fast

But if you took the time to check up in your rearview mirror

You'd see the things you're driving from are your biggest fears

You gotta get back up from the wreckage above

And walk right through the fire

No matter what happens, the fact is that the flames keep getting higher

You gotta keep it going, keep tiptoeing through

The fire and the flames and the pain of knowing

Through all this doubt, gotta keep on going

Gotta give that spark, gotta keep on glowing

I wear my heart up on my sleeve so my soul's exposed

And I carry this disease, the plague of the holy ghost

God, can you hear me? God is missing

Take it back, take it back, my friend

All the things that you said about the end

This is it, this is me telling you it ain't over til it's over

Give it up, give it up, my friend

The score is settled even if you won't admit

Set it down, final hour without a doubt, it's over when it's over

So please, please, just let me make my peace

I refuse to let your words be the death of me

Please, please, just let me live my life

Stop living in my shadow and just make it right

It's over, make it right

Take it back, take it back, my friend

All the things that you said about the end

This is it, this is me telling you it ain't over til it's over.

Give it up, give it up, my friend

The score is settled even if you won't admit

Set it down, final hour without a doubt, it's over when it's over

It's over, it's over

This is it, this is me telling you it ain't over til it's over
