Overflow

The dial tone is all that sings

It's raining hard inside and far away

What's so new?

This never-ending drama won't fade

My gut's a coil and my only drain

Will this never end?

It's breaking heart, it's bruising head

Why does the good go so bad?

All the joy is fading fast

The contradictions they are killing me

This pretzel logic makes her hard to receive

So fall out again and swallow me whole

Every thing's changed from blowing kisses to throwing stones

Night trades with day

And let dawn begin to break

Once again she knows me too well

How to heal, how to help

For a while I am saved by her smile

And all the harm comes undone

Just soon enough to stop the flood

The overflow should her charm not hold

It could drown me today

Must the river run so high, my love

You know your smile can

Dam the river that I have of you
