Operation Overload

from My Own Dead Dove by Don’t Call Me Shirley

/

lyrics

Haven't I told you this before?
You're pushing close to an overload
I must admit I'm a little impressed
I didn't think you could take the stress
I would have left, myself

Haven't I told you this before?
You're about to short from the overload
You say you live with no regrets
Well, sure
When you don't try your best
You're scared to the bone
A break in conversation leaves you alone
I don't condone
How you fold to the phone
Cause when I'm alone
I find time to learn myself

I can be myself

When quiet is too much
You go and fall into the rough
You're bored, so what?
I can see you're giving up

What did I say?
You pushed too much
And now you're in an overload
And all your friends stay far away
They can see the sparks for miles
If I could I'd take you out for a while
If I could I'd wipe away the pain

Oh love

When quiet is too much
You go and fall into the rough
You're bored, so what?
I can see you're giving up

Swallowed by the darkness
When we fall asleep
But it's bigger than you or me
Take a step back and let's just breathe
Cause it's bigger than you or me

I see
More clearly
Everyday
When I wake
