The Verve Pipe - Overboard lyrics
[The Verve Pipe - Overboard lyrics]
Truth lives next to consequence
It comes and goes like winter wind
Blowing across the strait's one night
Cold as death and real as sin
I loved her and she loved me
Bound for what was meant to be
But trouble travels silently
There's a girl in Michigan
Up in Lake Superior
Who'll never bother us again
Making our lives easier
With alibis so paper thin
Now that she is over me and over you and
Overboard guide me toward that lonely light
It's your beacon in the night
Now row us straight back to that shore
With frozen hands and muscles sore
And my back against your back
We glide along the water black
Both knowing there's no turning back
There's a girl in Michigan
Up in Lake Superior
Who'll never bother us again
Making our lives easier
With alibis so paper thin
Now that she is out of sight and out of mind
And Overboard
She was never gonna let us go
Had a hold on me and a curse on you
As she lay there pale upon that shore
With her eyes gone black they once were blue
She could see me for the first time
Now there's a girl in Michigan
Who's overboard
Truth moved on from consequence
Just when things were making sense
Her body washed back home to shore
Discovered by a neighbor boy
And now she's in our lives again
The three of us in shadows
It comes and goes like winter wind
Blowing across the strait's one night
Cold as death and real as sin
I loved her and she loved me
Bound for what was meant to be
But trouble travels silently
There's a girl in Michigan
Up in Lake Superior
Who'll never bother us again
Making our lives easier
With alibis so paper thin
Now that she is over me and over you and
Overboard guide me toward that lonely light
It's your beacon in the night
Now row us straight back to that shore
With frozen hands and muscles sore
And my back against your back
We glide along the water black
Both knowing there's no turning back
There's a girl in Michigan
Up in Lake Superior
Who'll never bother us again
Making our lives easier
With alibis so paper thin
Now that she is out of sight and out of mind
And Overboard
She was never gonna let us go
Had a hold on me and a curse on you
As she lay there pale upon that shore
With her eyes gone black they once were blue
She could see me for the first time
Now there's a girl in Michigan
Who's overboard
Truth moved on from consequence
Just when things were making sense
Her body washed back home to shore
Discovered by a neighbor boy
And now she's in our lives again
The three of us in shadows
