It's over When It's Over

I've got my life laid out in front of me like roads drawn on a map

I've had so many times where I slipped off the beaten path

I took the time to see the picture and for what it's worth

I'd walk a thousand miles without my shoes to make it work

I swore to God that I'm never comin' back

Kept my faith when I was clapped

Starin' at the wall through a crack in the floor

And these metal doors, they've got me trapped

I gotta remind myself that my mind is strong so I won't lose my head

I've got my demons that I fight

With every little thought and every breath

I wear my heart up on my sleeve so my soul's exposed

And I carry this disease, the weight of the Holy Ghost

God, can you hear me?

God is missing

Take it back, take it back, my friend

All the things that you said about the end

This is it, this is me tellin' you it ain't over till it's over

Give it up, give it up, my friend

The score is settled even if you won't admit

Set it down, final hour without a doubt, it's over when it's over

You've got your life laid out in front of you like a car crash

Unconscious at the wheel 'cause you were drivin' too fast

But if you took the time to check up in your rearview mirror

You'd see the things you're drivin' from are your biggest fears

You gotta get back up from the wreckage above

And walk right through the fire

No matter what happens, the fact is that the flames keep gettin' higher

You gotta keep it goin', keep tiptoein' through the fire

And the flames and the pain of knowin'

The world is dark, gotta keep on goin'

Gotta give that spark, gotta keep on glowin'

I wear my heart up on my sleeve so my soul's exposed

And I carry this disease, the weight of the Holy Ghost

God, can you hear me?

God is missing

Take it back, take it back, my friend

All the things that you said about the end

This is it, this is me tellin' you it ain't over till it's over

Give it up, give it up, my friend

The score is settled even if you won't admit

Set it down, final hour, without a doubt, it's over when it's over

So please, please, just let me make my peace

I refuse to let your words be the death of me

Please, please just let me live my life

Stop living in my shadow and just make it right

It's over, it's over, make it right

Take it back, take it back, my friend

All the things that you said about the end

This is it, this is me tellin' you it ain't over till it's over

Give it up, give it up, my friend

The score is settled even if you won't admit

Sun is up, final hour, without a doubt, it's over when it's over

It's over, it's over

This is it, this is me tellin' you it ain't over till it's over
