Overdue Lyrics

Lately I've been thinking about it

Do you really want to know the truth

Strangers at the door and they're knocking

And everyone's a stranger to you

In a mirror, do you see yourself

I'm not talking about your reflection

Your worst bet could wear a beautiful smile

And to comprehend it might take you a while

If you wanted me to stay

You could have offered me a place

To crash my head

Ah, instead ride the circle once again

I wouldn't have made the trip, you begged

You're so gracious, you're the best

Even if it's only in your head

Compliance is so meaningless

When it's all for you and it's overdue

But it doesn't really matter

What I wanted was irrelevant

Your claim is I gave you a mountain, oh no

In a letter that was never sent

You're telling me it's all perspective, still a long ways to go

Though I can use a gentle reminder the distance makes it worth the show

Not everybody's looking for meaning, is that enough food for thought

And if everybody loved you forever, would it really benefit you a lot?

If you wanted me to stay

You could have offered me a place

To crash my head

Ah, instead ride the circle once again

I wouldn't have made the trip, you begged

You're so gracious, you're the best

Even if it's only in your head

Compliance is so meaningless

When it's all for you and it's overdue

Sincere and cynical

Lose grip on your tightrope

How you gonna cope

If you wanted me to stay

You could have offered me a place

To crash my head

Ah, instead ride the circle once again

I wouldn't have made the trip, you begged

You're so gracious in your head

But beware
