Lyrics

Overwhelmed

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.

We make patterns out of stars

And we whisper little prayers

To be somewhere that we're not

And if we're good, it will take us there

But, then, the light comes through the dark

And our questions fall apart

It's just the beating of our hearts

And the still of the midnight air

And I get so overwhelmed

Till it's hard to tell what I'm thinking

We get down, down, down

We feel sorry for ourselves

We get down, down, down

We all need somebody's help

Let's get loud, loud, loud till there's love and nothing else

The more that we give, the more that comes back around

So we hide away our hurts

And put band-AIDS on our fears

And we lie to all our friends

Move along, there's no problems here

But then the orchestra will start

And the violins appear

And a simple little melody has us fighting tears

And I get so overwhelmed

Till it's hard to tell what I'm thinking

We get down, down, down

We feel sorry for ourselves

We get down, down, down

We all need somebody's help

Let's get loud, loud, loud, till there's love and nothing else

'Cause the more that we give, the more that comes back around

Oh, the more that we give, the more that comes back around

Oh, and the hardest part is the way things are

And how quickly fingers will bleed

And the grace we need's not in magazines

It's just space, in between, when we breathe

I am down, down, down, I feel sorry for myself

I am down, down, down, and I need somebody's help

Let's get loud, loud, loud, till there's love and nothing else

'Cause the more that we give, the more that comes back

Down, down, down

We feel so sorry for ourselves

We're down, down, down

We all need somebody's help

Let's get loud, loud, loud, till there's love and nothing else

'Cause the more that we give, the more that comes back around

Oh, the more that we give, the more that comes back around

Oh, the more that we give, the more that comes back around
