Overshoot
Dancing Through Life's Ups and Downs: Tom Chaplin's Overshoot
Lyrics
Sometimes I feel like I could run wild
Sometimes, the speaker feels a strong desire to be unrestrained and carefree.
Tear the fabric of our love
The speaker contemplates breaking the emotional connection in their relationship.
Cut and run from the world that we've been building
Considering abandoning the life they have built together and escaping from it.
But I've seen the way that the game plays
The speaker is aware of the unpredictable nature of life's challenges.
The end result of the clichés
Acknowledging the expected outcomes or consequences of common situations.
You fly the nest but the open road goes nowhere
Leaving the comfort of home, but realizing that the journey may lack direction.
With a little luck
Expressing hope for a positive turn of events.
We'll be dancing when the lights go up
An optimistic outlook on the future, anticipating joy when things improve.
Still be dancing when the ship goes down
Staying resilient and joyful even in challenging times.
Sweetheart, hold my hand, ooh
Requesting emotional support and connection in difficult moments.
With a little luck
(Refrain)
We'll be dancing when the lights go up
Reiterating the hope for happiness and dancing even when circumstances are tough.
Still be dancing when the ship goes down
Remaining united and joyful despite impending difficulties.
We'll be hand in hand
Emphasizing the importance of mutual support and togetherness.
Ooh
(Instrumental sounds)
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-You know every inch of this ragged soul
Describing deep familiarity and understanding of the speaker's inner self.
Every twist of the sideshow
Acknowledging the complexities and challenges faced in life.
Every line on the fragile skin I live in
Awareness of vulnerability and the emotional scars carried by the speaker.
Sail on, set out over the ocean
Metaphorically sailing away, possibly seeking a new beginning.
Overshoot the horizon
Expressing a desire to surpass expectations or limitations.
Cut and run from the world that we've been building
Repeating the idea of leaving behind the established life.
With a little luck
(Refrain)
We'll be dancing when the lights go up
-Still be dancing when the ship goes down
-Sweetheart, hold my hand, ooh
-With a little luck
-We'll be dancing when the lights go up
-Still be dancing when the ship goes down
-We'll be hand in hand
-Ooh-whoa
(Instrumental sounds)
Ooh
-Ooh
-With a little luck
Repeating the themes of hope, dancing, and unity in various situations.
When the lights go up
-When the ship goes down
-We'll be dancing
-With a little luck
-When the lights go up
-When the ship goes down
-We'll be hand in hand
Emphasizing the enduring connection and mutual support in the face of challenges.
