Overdose
Gordon & Doyle Lyrics

The truth, it was plain to see
The reality of the situation was clear and evident

Even though we were bad, it was clear to me
Despite our flaws, it was apparent to me

Oh, woah
Expressing surprise or admiration

Like all this love that’s just a-slippin’ through my fingers, oh~
Similar to how love slips away effortlessly

I watched these words that meant so much to me
I witnessed the significance of these words

Starting to ignite just to fizzle away, yeah…
Becoming full of potential, only to lose its spark

Just strummin’ strings and paintin’ pretty pictures
Engaging in creative pursuits

It’s never dull to share all the answers we have found
Sharing the knowledge and insights we've acquired is always exciting

With a bit more time
Given some additional time

We might still just half-understand ‘em
We may only comprehend them partially

Gulpin’, pukin’ lead us to forgettin’
Indulging and overindulging causes us to forget

And meetin’ our true selves within the mirror sea
Encountering our authentic selves within introspection

When we’re starin’ eye to eye!
When we are in a close and intimate connection

OVERDOSE, when you’re close to me - oh I can’t feel dreary!
Feeling an overwhelming intensity when you're near

Let’s go blur out the edges of this ugly dream!
Let's distort the reality of this unpleasant experience

OVERDOSE, when you’re close to me - your bluffs are sweet to me!
The lies you tell are strangely appealing to me

Don’t stop the music, darlin’, um-m-m-m
Keep the music playing, my love

‘Tween us, do we truly know
Between us, do we genuinely understand

If we’re really so bad, though they tell us so?
Despite others telling us we are bad, is that truly the case?

Maybe...
Perhaps

And maybe time will end and we’ll still have all of these lingering questions
It's possible that time will pass, yet the questions will remain unanswered

I guess this means there’s no chance to explain
I suppose this implies that there is no opportunity for clarification

(It’s) just the naked truth, oh, with everything bare, yeah!
It's simply the raw and honest truth, with nothing hidden

Oh, now it’s pilin’ up for all time
Now it's accumulating endlessly

And if it’s over, well, that’s just fine
And if it comes to an end, that's perfectly acceptable

We’re goin’ rotten through, just like that sweet fruit
We're decaying internally, like a once appealing fruit

Splitting’ open, breakin’ in two!
Breaking apart, dividing into two

That’s our life!
That's the essence of our existence

Let’s dance and sleep and make no memories
Let's engage in leisurely activities without creating lasting memories

And in our made-up stories, oh, we’ll meet right where we are
In our fictional tales, we'll connect exactly where we currently stand

OVERDOSE, when you’re close to me though I wish I could see
Experiencing an overpowering sensation when you're near, even though I desire clarity

I hate to waste time thinkin’ ‘bout those ugly lies!
I despise spending time dwelling on those deceitful falsehoods

OVERDOSE, when you’re close to me though I wish I could see
Experiencing an overpowering sensation when you're near, even though I desire clarity

We’re close to hell, my darlin’!
We're in close proximity to a dreadful situation, my love

Ah! Ah! Ah! Oh, yeah!
Expressing excitement or enthusiasm

Although I can’t see why
Even though I can't comprehend the reason

I guess these ugly lies are somehow sort-of fine with me
I suppose these unpleasant falsehoods are somewhat acceptable to me

So, when you’re close to me, your bluffs are sweet to me
Therefore, when you're near, your deceits are strangely appealing to me

Don’t stop the music, darlin’, um-m-m-m
Keep the music playing, my love

Don’t stop the music, darlin’, um-m-m-m
Keep the music playing, my love
