Overdue
By: Kevin Carton & Tyler Kaschke

Save your breath, just quit talkin’, stay inside when outsides knockin’
Just go away, I don’t like you, you really annoy me with,
Everything that you do, and you think your cool, you think you rock,
But look inside and break that lock, you think your sweet,
Think your always right, but when it comes down to it day turns into night

And your all alone, by the phone, and its not ringin’, your not leavin’,
And you wonder, how you wonder why, your not leavin’ home tonight
(He’s not leavin’ home, he’s not leavin’ home tonight,
he’s not leavin’ home, he’s not leavin’ home tonight)

Look at yourself, now think about it, your address book isn’t getting crowded
You need a change, find the real you, lose those earrings,
Forget about your tattoos, and search down deep, look inside,
Is it something in you that you hide, that’s yearning to get out,
For all the others to see, but your just wondering in agony

By sitting all alone, by the phone, and its not ringin’, your not leavin’,
And you wonder, how you wonder why, your not leavin’ home tonight

Well I look in the mirror and I’ll see you wanting to break free
It’s long overdue, and soon I’m gonna burst and then you’ll know me on the Inside instead of this covering till

Then I’ll be alone, by the phone, and it wont be ringin’, I wont be leavin’,
And then I’ll wonder, how I wonder why, I’m not leavin’ home tonight
(He’s not leavin’ home, he’s/I’m not leavin’ home tonight,
he’s not leavin’ home, he’s/I’m not leavin’ home tonight
he’s not leavin’ home, he’s/I’m not leavin’ home tonight
he’s not leavin’ home, he’s/I’m not leavin’ home tonight)
