Lyrics Over & Over - Mae

Over & Over

I woke up eager to greet the day
And ask the questions that troubled me
Thinking you and I could work it out peacefully
And believe that it was just that easy
Here we stand now on separate sides
It seems one thing we don’t realize
Is that neither of us have made room for compromise
So we remain in contrary corners again
This is how we stay
Over and over games we play
We could rise or give in
But is over and over happening again?
Am I to wonder what comes of this?
Or try to make any sense of it?
Do these walls we build have any significance?
And will summer’s birth bring difference?
So here we are now waiting for June
I hear that we’re humming different tunes
And we’re still at odds in the middle of the afternoon
It seems this time will finally be the last time
This is how we’ve stayed
Over and over games we’ve played
Compromise?
Not today
So over and over is what happens again
You complicate and you break down
I chew your words while you spit them out
We see the same thing but differently
Stuck in our separate realities
This is how we stay
Over and over games we play
We could rise or give in
But over and over cannot happen again
This is how we stay
Over and over games we play
We will not ever win
So over and over and over and over and over and over and over is over
