"Overshoot" lyrics

"Overshoot"

Sometimes I feel like I could run wild
Tear the fabric of our love
Cut and run from the world that we've been building
But I've seen the way that the game plays
The end result of the clichés
You fly the nest but the open road goes nowhere

With a little luck
We'll be dancing when the lights go up
Still be dancing when the ship goes down
Sweetheart hold my hand
With a little luck
We'll be dancing when the lights go up
Still be dancing when the ship goes down
We'll be hand in hand

You know every inch of this ragged soul
Every twist of the sideshow
Every line on the fragile skin I live in
Sail on, set out over the ocean
Overshoot the horizon
Cut and run from the world that we've been building

With a little luck
We'll be dancing when the lights go up
Still be dancing and the ship goes down
Sweetheart hold my hand
With a little luck
We'll be dancing when the lights go up
Still be dancing when the ship goes down
We'll be hand in hand

With a little luck
When the lights go up
When the ship goes down
We'll be dancing
With a little luck
When the lights go up
When the ship goes down
We'll be hand in hand
