Overwind

You pushed a little bit

Just to try it

Just a teensy bit

Then hit rewind

You thought I wouldn't see

What was behind it

But now you've crossed the line

Just wait and see

Turning around

Winding up the gears

It seems that this has lasted years

You'd think that

I would finally break

Can't keep on running at these stakes

If you think that you can find it

Maybe you'll just overwind it

Breaking free and tearing loose

Your demeanor is uncouth

Blaming others for mistakes

Wondering why you feel estranged

Spiraling out of your sight

You can't deny

You thought you'd push and I

Would just ignore it

Not notice treachery

Just let it slide

Underestimate

How I would answer

Reciprocity

Oh wait and see

Turning around

Winding up the gears

It seems that this has lasted years

You'd think that

I would finally break

Can't keep on running at these stakes

If you think that you can find it

Maybe you'll just overwind it

Breaking free and tearing loose

Your demeanor is uncouth

Blaming others for mistakes

Wondering why you feel estranged

Spiraling out of your sight

You can't deny

If you'd have left the past untouched

You wouldn't be in such a rut

But you've ignited all these fires

In light of all that has transpired

If you think that you can find it

Maybe you'll just overwind it

Breaking free and tearing loose

Your demeanor is uncouth

Blaming others for mistakes

Wondering why you feel estranged

Spiraling out of your sight

You can't deny
