Text: Stephanie McIntosh. Tightrope. Overcome.
Silence shattered like it's glass
My world was captured like a photograph
When I saw you
Eyes of oceans pulled me in
The riptide was strong
And though I fought it for a second or two
You stole me with a glance and it was done
I was overcome by you...
Breathe me in and breathe me out
Crave and desire what I yearn for
Pray that I might feel the same
'Cos every night and everyday
I wait for you
Looking for someone I almost knew
Why do I run, overcome
The moments happen then they pass
But my obsession doesn't go that fast
Who are you and do I ever cross your mind?
Find me alone and kiss me softly as I wake to truth
My sleep is dead, my life has just begun
I am overcome by you...
Breathe me in and breathe me out
Crave and desire what I yearn for
Pray that I might feel the same
'Cos every night and everyday
I wait for you
Looking for someone I almost knew
Why do I run, overcome
(How could I come so close?)
What if I could spin the world like superman?
(I let the moment go)
Fast enough to fly me back to you again
(I should have let it show)
I would grab a hold and not let go...
Oh and kiss me softly as I wake to truth
My sleep is dead, my life has just begun
Breathe me in and breathe me out
Crave and desire what I yearn for
Pray that I might feel the same
'Cos every night and everyday
I wait for you
Looking for someone I almost knew
Oh,
'Cos every night and everyday
I wait for you
Looking for someone I almost knew
Why do i run, overcome..
Overcome...
