[Verse 1]
We clock in
Before the sun, after midnight
Two ghosts
Sharing passwords, not a real life
Cold food
On the counter by the sink
Your note
Says you love me, but the ink’s thin
Always on a deadline
Never on the same side
Talking through a glass screen
Scrolling through the same fight
[Pre-Chorus]
How did we go from kisses in the kitchen
To calendar reminders just to listen
Every “I’m fine” louder than a scream
Tell me, are we breaking or a team?
[Chorus]
Overtime love, we’re dying on the clock
Sleepwalking hearts, same door, same lock
Always working, always worn out
Raised our voices till we tuned out
Overtime love, paychecks, no trust
Two wedding rings gathering dust
If we’re this close and still feel alone
Are we a house, or only a home screen? (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You say
All I chase is staying afloat
I say
You keep score, tally every quote
Cards maxed
But our patience even higher
We burn
Different ends of the same fire
You slam the fridge, I slam the door
“Baby, what are we even doing this for?”
We both talk sharp, both talk fast
Both act tough till the calm cracks
[Pre-Chorus]
How did we go from laughing at the movies
To silence in the car, heavy, moody
Every “it’s cool” hiding one more tear
Tell me, are we leaving or still here?
[Chorus]
Overtime love, we’re dying on the clock
Sleepwalking hearts, same door, same lock
Always working, always worn out
Raised our voices till we tuned out
Overtime love, paychecks, no trust
Two wedding rings gathering dust
If we’re this close and still feel alone
Are we a house, or only a home screen? (oh)
[Bridge]
[Beat pulls back, filtered vocal]
Call in sick one time
Let the world fall behind
Touch your hand, touch your mind
Say your name like it’s still daylight
If we burn, then we burn from choosing
Not from always, always losing
Can we fight for us, not fight each other?
Can I meet you here, not undercover? (yeah)
[Chorus]
Overtime love, let’s clock out the fear
Call in our hearts, call in right here
Always working, but tonight choose
Every argument we can’t lose
Overtime love, if we’re both tired
Maybe that’s the spark we required
If we’re this close, we don’t have to roam
Look up once and find we’re finally home (finally home)
