Overtime Lyrics

Uncommon amount of the time at home
Hardly a word on the telephone
Finally find the time to get to know you

Mapping it out like a master plan
Something to do with my idle hands
Write you a letter addressed from California

It's vivid and strong in my memory
An absence that smacks of abandoning
Led to the battle that ultimately destroyed us

Nothing if I don't know your mistakes
The pill is as bitter as I can take
It twists like a blade when I leave for California

La da la da da da da da da da da da da
La da la da da da da da da da da da da

I hope that you know this is killing me
It's all in the name of the family
Only can play the cards the dealer dealt us

The end of the cycle is closing in
With you I see new hope begin again
There suddenly seems to be promise in California

La da la da da da da da da da da da da
La da la da da da da da da da da da da

As heavy as all this is weighing me
Believe in the words I am promising
I'm still here for her

The distance is only an obstacle
Hardly a match for a miracle
I'm finally ready to go to California
