Doe Paoro - Soft Power Over

Lyrics

I stay busy, I know

But it lives in me

Actively

Backing me into corners

Can’t control

The impression you left on me

Like a tattoo that I never asked for

Under my skin

Hovering over

I avoid the places

That remind me

Yet still, your shadow’s behind me

Calls like a siren

It questions, it teases

It never gives reasons

Thoughts of you

Like I’m trying to

Put off

Starting over

I flip on a dime

Keep changing my mind

Won’t someone tell me, please?

How long does it take?

(How much longer can you take?)

Will I get better?

(How much more before you break?)

Now that I’m older

Does it get easier to get over?

Common wisdom from friends

You’ve got to get under

In order to start to get over again

But what should I do

If I fear that I just may be too sensitive?

I’m not built for this, dug too deep

To start over

I flip on a dime

But I can’t seem to find

My way to sweet release

I know it’s just time

But it’s taking all mine

Won’t someone tell me, please?

How long does it take?

(How much longer can you take?)

Will I get better?

(How much more before you break?)

Now that I’m older

Does it get easier to get over?
