All of the signs point
All of the voices inside your head
Are speaking phrases coined
By those who say things I've never said

All of the cars drive
On the other side
And we're the only ones
Burning in their headlights

Singing maybe it's over
But I don't feel it
If we wanted forever
Baby, we gotta steal it
I'll hold the last straw
With my back against the wall
Singing maybe it's over
But I don't feel it at all

Every night we lay awake
Love never asks for the time that she takes
I can feel you slipping away
We're falling through the holes and cracks from our mistakes

Singing maybe it's over
But I don't feel it
If we wanted forever
Baby, we gotta steal it
I'll hold the last straw
With my back against the wall
Singing maybe it's over
But I don't feel it at all

This love won't stop
I'm looking out for one more shot
Don't tell me everything I've got
Is not enough (it's not enough)

This love won't stop
I'm looking out for one more shot
Don't tell me everything I've got
Is not enough

Singing maybe it's over
But I don't feel it
If we wanted forever
Baby, we gotta steal it
I'll hold the last straw
With my back against the wall
Singing maybe it's over




So maybe it's over
But I don't feel it at all
