Over The Top
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.
You can say I'm a wild eyed dreamer
Or say my life is a mystery
I'm at the bottom and can't get deeper
It's not the way it's supposed to be...
I used to think it would last forever
Now I'm living in doubt
Every time I get one step closer
Instead of working it out
You take it over the top
Breaking the chain
You never know when to stop
And I got nothing to gain
You... look it over the top
You say I'm always trying to run for cover
I'm not the one who' s gonna crash and burn
No, no
But every time I see a wall between us
Another lesson that you never, ever learn
Oh... you never, ever learn
Now I know, you got your reason
Doing what you do
But every time I get one step closer
And leave it up to you
You take it over the top
It's always the same
You never know when to stop
And I got nothing to gain
You... look it over the top
I know you got your reason
Doing what you do
Everybody's got a change of seasons
I leave it up to You
To take it over the top
It´s only a game
You never know when to stop
And you got no one to blame
You take it over the top
It's always the same
You never know when to stop
And I got nothing to gain
You take it over the top
You take it over the top
You take it over the top
