Overcome - Stripped Songtext
von Nothing But Thieves

I don′t wanna fight, my money's in a bag, in the back for you
The future′s overdue
Yeah, I know that
Turn the engine on, our song blarin' out a dead radio
Singin' "I Need To Know"
No turnin′ back

I′ve been thinkin', babe, maybe you′re right
When you said the pain weathers in time
We're just waitin′ for a change to follow
We don't always get all that we want
Redefine the pain to somethin′ more
And we shall overcome, as we've done before

Scrollin' through a life I barely recognised, from a hotel room
Took in the lonely view
Got unattached, yeah
Bringer of the calm, your arms wrapped around when the fever took
Thought I was gone for good
You brought me back


I′ve been thinkin′, babe, maybe you're right
When you said the pain weathers in time
We′re just waitin' for a change to follow
We don′t always get all that we want
Redefine the pain to somethin' more
And we shall overcome as we′ve done before

It's when we lean in, into the moment
It's when we′re reachin′ through the divide
It's when we begin feelin′ the open
It's when the stranger′s fallen behind
When we shake off the darkness and harness the light

I've been thinkin′, babe, maybe you're right
When you said the pain weathers in time
We're just waitin′ for a change to follow
We don′t always get all that we want
Redefine the pain to somethin' more
And we shall overcome, as we′ve done before

And we shall overcome, as we've done before

And we shall overcome, as we′ve done before
