Overtime Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna love it, but I just can't
Shot down when our souls began to dance
November, upstairs, what do you mean?
Calm down, you're the one that lied to me
[Refrain]
You prayed to God, and I trusted that
I gave it up, and now I can't ever get it back
And all your friends on Sunday morning
Do they have a clue? Wish I could have got a warning
[Chorus]
This can't be the end
If it ends like this, you win
Overtime, overtime
Forgive, my God, I'm tryin'
This can't be the end
If it ends like this, you win
Overtime, overtime
Forgive, my God, I'm tryin'
[Verse 2]
It was magic on the first touch
Turned tragic when I caught you coverin' up
Tell me how you put those tears in your eyes
Grand Central, downstairs, skippin' work that night
I wanna love it, but I just can't
Shot down when our souls began to dance
November, upstairs, what do you mean?
Calm down, you're the one that lied to me
[Refrain]
You prayed to God, and I trusted that
I gave it up, and now I can't ever get it back
And all your friends on Sunday morning
Do they have a clue? Wish I could have got a warning
[Chorus]
This can't be the end
If it ends like this, you win
Overtime, overtime
Forgive, my God, I'm tryin'
This can't be the end
If it ends like this, you win
Overtime, overtime
Forgive, my God, I'm tryin'
[Verse 2]
It was magic on the first touch
Turned tragic when I caught you coverin' up
Tell me how you put those tears in your eyes
Grand Central, downstairs, skippin' work that night
[Refrain]
You prayed to God, and I trusted that
I gave it up, and now I can't ever get it back
And all your friends on Sunday morning
Do they have a clue? Wish I could have got a warning
[Chorus]
This can't be the end
If it ends like this, you win
Overtime, overtime
Forgive, my God, I'm tryin'
This can't be the end
If it ends like this, you win
Overtime, overtime
Forgive, my God, I'm tryin'
This can't be the end
If it ends like this, you win
Overtime, overtime
Forgive, my God, I'm tryin'
This can't be the end
If it ends like this, you win
Overtime, overtime
Forgive, my God, I'm tryin'
You prayed to God, and I trusted that
I gave it up, and now I can't ever get it back
And all your friends on Sunday morning
Do they have a clue? Wish I could have got a warning
[Chorus]
This can't be the end
If it ends like this, you win
Overtime, overtime
Forgive, my God, I'm tryin'
This can't be the end
If it ends like this, you win
Overtime, overtime
Forgive, my God, I'm tryin'
This can't be the end
If it ends like this, you win
Overtime, overtime
Forgive, my God, I'm tryin'
This can't be the end
If it ends like this, you win
Overtime, overtime
Forgive, my God, I'm tryin'
About
Genius Annotation
‘'Overtime’‘ is the fourth track on LANY’s eponymous album, acutely acknowledging the immediate post-relationship emotions and the subsequent self-reflection that comes with it. Even though things may not be good straight away, it will inevitably get better.
Life moves on — but sometimes, just too slowly. The end of a relationship is always filled with a combination of doubt and wishful thinking, to the point of nostalgia through rose-colored glasses.
