MAN OVERBOARD Heavy Love LYRICS
Now That You're Home
Now that you’re home, you know I want to be with you
Wherever you roam, I need you and you need me too
No matter how far, I’m saying your name every day
And finding out that this place is now just like a dream I had
Let it go back to the way it was again,
I’m gluing up the paper scraps
so they once again spell out the name of the place I’m in
With you
Find a way back to the place we were before,
I’m thinking that it’s just so dumb
To keep living like the whole world owes us something more
We do
Now that you’re home, I think that I should be with you
But still I feel alone
I really think you need me too no matter how far
No matter how far, I’m saying your name all the time
I’m finding out this place is now just like a dream of mine
Let it go back to the way it was again,
I’m gluing up the paper scraps
so they once again spell out the name of the place I’m in
With you
Find a way back to the place we were before,
I’m thinking that it’s just so dumb
To keep living like the whole world owes us something more
We do
I’ve been on the run
And now it seems like all the happiness is gone
You made it go away?
You’ve been on the run,
Do you feel more than human on the run?
Why'd you make it go away?
Why'd you make it go away?
Let it go back to the way it was again,
I’m gluing up the paper scraps
so they once again spell out the name of the place I’m in
With you
Find a way back to the place we were before,
I’m thinking that it’s just so dumb
To keep living like the whole world owes us something more
We do, we do

Borderline
I packed my bags and looked to the west,
Kissed her picture twenty times
Take some clothes and a deep breath,
Go commit the perfect crime
I didn’t ask for much but now it’s much too late,
If she can’t help me now then there’s no time to waste
I will not fail us now, if you just wait you’ll see
I will not let us down, I will get myself free
I will get myself free as the day that you found me
Before I got caught in this mess that’s around me it won’t happen again
The first night I took one to the chest,
Dancing on the borderline.
I wrecked the mood and I must confess,
Missed the picture every time.
I didn’t ask for much but now it’s much too late,
If she can’t help me now then there’s no time to waste
I will not fail us now, if you just wait you’ll see
I will not let us down, I will get myself free
I will get myself free as the day that you found me
Before I got caught in this mess that’s around me it won’t happen again
I guess it’s just like me to get real sentimental before I leave
And I guess it’s just like me to get real sentimental before I leave
(We write off love and then we’re off)
I guess it’s just like me to get real sentimental before I leave
And I guess it’s just like me to get real sentimental before I leave
(We write off love and then we’re off)
I didn’t ask for much but now it’s much too late,
If she can’t help me now then there’s no time to waste
I will not fail us now, if you just wait you’ll see
I will not let us down, I will get myself free
I will get myself free, I will get myself
Free as the day that you found me
Before I got caught in this mess that’s around me

Reality Check
She’s over it, just so you know there’s no turning back
Your loose leaf and blue jeans and lines from old movies won’t cut it
She needs something better than that
Get over it, cause you won't give a shit when she’s crawling back
Your daydreams and big schemes and Hollywood endings should cover it
You’ll want something not so friendly
They could be the one, they could be the one
Shut em out, shut em down
Here comes something not so friendly
Make it clear it’s not pretend, see
They could be the one but you hit and run
Shut em out, shut em down
Another one’s getting away
She’s under him just in case you think she’s coming back
They went out, he paid for the date and she waited for nothing
Tell me are you better than that?
You’re blowing it, but you won't be around when she wants you back
You’ll move on to something you think is more stunning but, brother, you’re gonna regret all that
They could be the one, they could be the one
Shut em out, shut em down
Here comes something not so friendly
Make it clear it’s not pretend, see
They could be the one but you hit and run
Shut em out, shut em down
Another one’s getting away
You’re gonna go through hell and want to go through it all over again
This is where you belong and your weaknesses are showing again, they're showing again
It’s a decade long game of phone tag, but if it’s wrong why do we still call back
Hey do you want to take a ride, it’s really getting nice outside
It’s the time of year that I wish she’d come back
They could be the one, they could be the one
Shut em out, shut em down
Here comes something not so friendly
Make it clear it’s not pretend, see
They could be the one but you hit and run
Shut em out, shut em down
Another one’s getting away

Splinter
Left her car unlocked, staying outside,
Still no sign of him – she feels alright
She went back home again to compare with the place she’s in
Staring at her car under the streetlight
If I’m allowed to stay, and if I wanna stay
I’ll change everything, 'cause you were everything
And if I had my way, and if I had my way,
I would fix you up instead of always piss you off
And if you never come home, then you really must know
I adored you, and I adore you now
And if I’m really alone, then I really must go
Grab my book bag, make my way back home
Left her keys inside, no one cares now
There’s nowhere left to hide, she’s splitting hairs now
She doesn’t like it here and now to her it’s all quite clear,
Staring at this place she’s going home now
If I’m allowed to stay, and if I wanna stay
I’ll change everything, 'cause you were everything
And if I had my way, and if I had my way,
I would fix you up instead of always piss you off
And if you never come home, then you really must know
I adored you, and I adore you now
And if I’m really alone, then I really must go
Grab my book bag, make my way back home
And she’s asking,
“How did I let everything get so nasty?”
You’re going home now with something you wanted
You’re going home now with something you want, you want
And if you never come home, then you really must know
I adored you, and I adore you now
And if I’m really alone, then I really must go
Grab my book bag, make my way back home
And if you never come home, then you really must know
I adored you, and I adore you now
And if I’m really alone, then I really must go
Grab my book bag, make my way back home

The Note
I’m really having trouble right now
I can’t seem to express myself
I really hope I figure it out
I know I suck at everything else
How am I gonna mess it up, mess it up?
How am I gonna hold it back, hold it back in?
How am I gonna fail now, fail now?
How am I gonna hold it back, hold it back again?
Cause I the lost one will never feel whole
And I will wander the earth like a broken soul
And I will wait for the better days to come
Cause I’m the lost one
I really wanna vacate myself
I really wanna take all my health
Give it all to somebody else
What’s the point of working it out?
How am I gonna fail now, fail now?
How am I gonna prolong being man?
How am I gonna mess it up, mess it up?
How am I gonna hold it all, hold it all in?
Cause I the lost one will never feel whole
And I will wander the earth like a broken soul
And I will wait for the better days to come
Cause I’m the lost one

Cliffhanger
It’s cold, it’s supposed to be
The night has got a hold of me
I hurt, but enough of me
You glow, glow for all to see
This is what I do, this is who I am
At the park at four am, drinking beer out of a can
Wishing I could understand what it takes to be a man
I realized I’m a natural second best
And whatever is against me I’ll appear as something less
So hold, grab a hold of me
I know, you are in control of me
It’s dark like it’s supposed to be
But you glow, please just glow for me
This is what I do, this is who I am
Praying for the strength to try, wiping tears out of my eyes
Watching chances pass me by as romance behind it dies
I realized I’m a natural second best
And whatever is against me, I’ll appear as something less
I've come to grips with the fact that I'm depressed
And whatever's in front of me I'll see as something less
And the sad thing is that I've never been better
And the sad thing is that I've never been better
But if you look at the facts, you know I've never been better
I realized I’m a natural second best
And whatever is against me, I’ll appear as something less
I've come to grips with the fact that I'm depressed
And whatever's in front of me I'll see as something less

She's In Pictures
I just love her name
I never really sleep, thought about it on the plane
And I draw it different ways
There was a little good weather but it never really stayed
And I guess I can’t complain
She don’t cause she won’t
Think of yesterday
So long, and he’s gone
That’s okay with me
But why does it feel so weird when I’m looking at you?
I just did what’s right
I never really sleep, had to catch another flight
She was in bed for the night
I guess we could meet up but her schedule’s pretty tight
And I guess I can’t complain
She don’t cause she won’t
Think of yesterday
So long, and he’s gone
That’s okay with me
But why does it feel so weird when I’m looking at you?
[x3]
And I already know, cause I can already tell
From how it feels and how I just keep looking at you
I creep your pictures I just stare right at you
***************************************************
Invisible
Am I the only one with my name
like that in your phone?
A relic of your past you could never quite trash,
do I make you miss your home?
Am I a part of you?
Am I with you every day?
Somewhere inside your heart or your stomach,
or some dumb metaphorical way?
It’s like a wound that is always being open
and it’s always gonna hurt so it goes unspoken
And I don’t even notice cause just how it looks anymore
Where’d you go?
I remember when we were
invincible
with hearts of gold
We rarely knew the pain to be true and you
were so scary cause I knew that’d lose you one day
Am I the perfect one?
The one you love in a perfect world?
A really special place where I always see your face
and there’s one boy for every girl
Am I part of you?
Do you need me every day?
I really can’t relax cause you’re never coming back
and this is how it’s gonna stay it seems to me
It’s like a wound that is always being open
and it’s always gonna hurt so it goes unspoken
And I don’t even notice cause just how it looks anymore
[x2]
Where’d you go?
I remember when we were
invincible
with hearts of gold
We rarely knew the pain to be true and you
were so scary cause I knew that’d lose you one day
I remember holding your wrists as we walked back to the place where we first kissed
If we tried to rekindle and see what we missed, it would probably end up with us getting pissed
And you’d probably end up last on my list and move off with some ken doll and pop out some kids
So please just stay my friend doll, avoid all of this, and I’ll be in the background – wondering, “what if?”
[x2]
Where’d you go?
I remember when we were
invincible
with hearts of gold
We rarely knew the pain to be true and you
were so scary cause I knew that’d lose you one day
***************************************************
Deal
Oh, doesn’t it hurt to know
the boys tell lies to get their way
and the girls are left alone?
Can’t you pick up the phone?
Did you now want to show?
The true feelings will end this game
before anyone could ever know
before anyone could ever know
I knew what you meant
I know why you decided
to say it how you said it,
and I can't win or fix myself again
So deal with my imperfections
Hey, do you now want to stay?
If I told you that I missed you now
would the bullshit get in the way?
Would you not want to play?
Do you know what you’d say?
You’d say nothing and close your eyes
and then both of our hearts would break
and then everybody’s heart would break
I knew what you meant
I know why you decided
to say it how you said it,
and I can't win or fix myself again
So deal with my imperfections
You’re no better than me (besides your beauty)
So don’t act like I am some kind of freak
You’re no better than me (besides your beauty)
And I know on the inside you’re a creep
Cause I knew what you meant
I know why you decided
to say it how you said it,
and I can't win or fix myself again
So deal with my imperfections
***************************************************
Anything
I know I cried wolf, I didn’t think I had
Things get darker, and end up sad
I don’t think it’s grown old, I don’t think its so bad
Please just tell me – I’m all you have
Tell me something, I’ll tell you anything
You need to know, like I said before
If you’re hurting for something, please just say anything
You would had known, like I said before
She always said that I walked a crooked line
Wake me up please, before you go
I’m boarding up this soul of mine
Loved you more than you’ll ever know
Tell me something, I’ll tell you anything
You need to know, like I said before
If you’re hurting for something, please just say anything
You would had known, like I said before
[x4]
I’d say anything to make you smile
I’d say anything to make you stay a little while
I’d do anything to make you stay forever
cause forever don’t mean nothing without you
Tell me something, I’ll tell you anything
You need to know, like I said before
If you’re hurting for something, please just say anything
You would had known, like I said before
Tell me something, I’ll tell you anything
I need to know,
If you’re hurting for something, please just say anything
I need to know, like I said before

For Jennie
A voice erupts from an open door,
“I think you’re broken forever more.”
I see it clear, I’m a different man
We feel the sickness and I think that I’m a goner
Fire flies in an open sky
Where does love go when it dies?
You learn to live with no innocence
We feel this darkness and I think that I’m a goner
I’m holding up the world I thought that I’d be stronger
If you don’t feel the pain by now that you swept away,
hope for the best and burn it like a memory that I’ve lost
The time will pass
If you don’t see the light right now then it’s sure to fade
This season puts me away like a criminal
That I am, that I’ve become
Fires fly in an open sky
Where do I since you have died?
I made mistakes and I’m sure to pay
I’m holding up the world, I thought
that I’d be stronger and I’m not sure
that we can do this any longer
If you don’t feel the pain by now that you swept away,
hope for the best and burn it like a memory that I’ve lost
The time will pass
If you don’t see the light right now then it’s sure to fade
This season puts me away like a criminal that I am, that I’ve become
Now I can’t get you out of my head
If you don’t feel the pain by now that you swept away,
hope for the best and burn it like a memory that I’ve lost
The time will pass
If you don’t see the light right now then it’s sure to fade
This season puts me away like a criminal
That I am, that I’ve become
Now I can’t get you out of my head
***************************************************
A Love That I Can't Have
It’s true, I’ll remember this night as when you finally cut me down
And I’ll remember this night as so avoidable
I’ll remember this night like I should have tried harder
But I’ll remember this night, as a revolution
it’s liberation, communication’s gone
You’ll be calling for me or yelling at me,
the two just seem so similar
I’ve been crossing oceans and killing tyrants
for a love that I can't have
It’s true, I’m the best that you had and undeniably
You, used to be my best friend
But until our trials and tribulations, communications gone
You’ll be calling for me or yelling at me,
the two just seem so similar
I’ve been crossing oceans and killing tyrants
for a love that I can't have
Did you know what I was invincible once
A rock head and a sharp metal tongue,
I cut many people when I was young
I remember when you used to be queen,
like something from a magazine
I got dirt in your limousine
I got dirt in your limousine, and that's why
You’ll be calling for me or yelling at me,
the two just seem so similar
I’ve been crossing oceans and killing tyrants
for a love that I can't have

The First Degree
I walk like you nowadays just keep you close to me somehow,
I talk like you nowadays just to believe this memory somehow,
And now a girl sits at home with a mixtape,
And now a boy out there has a postcard in his room,
But it’s somewhere hidden,
And she doesn’t listen,
Because it’s too soon.
I will sublime[?] crusade just to relive peek[?] 13 somehow,
And now it’s all okay, just don’t leave these memories right now,
And now my girl sits at home with a mixtape,
And I’m stuck upstairs with a postcard in my room,
But it’s somewhere hidden,
And she doesn’t listen,
Because it’s too soon.
And I don’t wanna hear the words they make you sing,
I don’t wanna hear a song you wrote for me,
And that minute[?] that you said it on the phone for sure,
I don’t want to have a new reality,
Cuz if you play a certain song, she’ll think of him,
And everything that went wrong and cling to him,
I’ve gotten girls that are never as strong as they pretend to be,
And now you’re home all alone with your mixtape,
And now I’m still upstairs with a postcard in my room,
But it’s somewhere hidden,
And she doesn’t listen,
Because it’s too soon.
I walk like you nowadays,
I talk like you nowadays.
I walk like you nowadays,
I talk like you just to keep you close to me somehow.
Just to keep you close to me somehow.
