Overcome

The way I feel is like falling stars

Diving into cold ocean waves

Words can only get me so far

They cannot describe the way that it hurts

'Cause every time I see you, I am overcome

I try to tell you, tell you how much I need you

But I turn and run

Your letters to me are like music

They're just a mask in a lonely coward's game

What is it you're so afraid of losing?

That I might lose everything if I lose the pain

'Cause every time I see you, I am overcome

It'd make you laugh to think someone like me

Could keep someone like you

Look what I've become

You wore your hair down one time last spring in the chapel

Your lips painted red, I remember the day

We hadn't met yet, how could you possibly remember that?

You watched me then? Why didn't you say something?

'Cause every time I see you, I am overcome

I try to tell you, tell you how much I need you, too

Look what I've become

Nothing feels real anymore when you're not around me

Even the sky looks like it's behind glass

Hearing your voice now, I can see every thing clearly

I can see that you really are my love at last

But oh, Roxanne

(I'm right here, love)

Words fail me

(Please come to me)

I try but I can't

(This is real love)

Dare to believe you'd have me

(I have no doubt)

(I know that you're the one now)

You don't know anything

(I know that it's you)

Roxanne, if this was true

(Just tell me what you need now)

Then I'd need for nothing

(Just tell me what to do)
