Album: Waking Hour (2001)

Lyrics

Why am I walking barefoot
Upon this road with no one around
I close my eyes to this decision
The night's like coffee to my tongue
Like waking up without a sound
I map the words out
Maybe you will say them

Won't you help me rise up
Touch my face and watch me try to breathe again
Would you let me do this
Burn down the final wall

Overcome me, baby
Overcome me, baby
Overcome me, baby
Overcome me, yeah

All I'm asking is to be alive
For once

Always I am mistaken
I look for love, I find a stone
Of all the seasons, winter befriends me
I come to you in friendship
And hold my breath against the snow
What are you thinking as I gaze into you

Forgive me the confusion
Forgive me as I realize my thoughts betrayed
You are the answer
Cry and smile the same

Overcome me, baby
Overcome me, baby
Overcome me, baby
Overcome, yeah

All I'm asking is to be
All I'm asking is to be
Alive

Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby
Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby
Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby
(overcome me)
Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby
(overcome me)
Overcome
Overcome
Overcome
Overcome

All I'm asking is to be
Alive

I discovered the joy of listening to her voice 5 years ago. Her songs have a special place in my heart, always reminding me of....myself. It's funny how I feel she sings my soul....

Too bad she didn't come to my country or anywhere near me.

But going to one of her concerts is something I must do at least once in this life.

Oh, and thanks a lot for posting her songs.

[auromkom]

Such a wonderful song.

[SunsetMoon91]

I hear Japanese words in the background. Am I imagining things? o.O

[shksprcolonist]

EG.HuK brought me here. <3 HuK.

[ProdigyAngel]

I kinda forgot about her music after losing my ipod and am just re-discovering her again. It feels like I am coming home..This is why I was obsessed with her music a couple years ago. Her voice is powerful, soothing and her lyrics are always genius. I always wonder why she's not more famous than she is.

[Faunatik]

@Rilan11 Yeah, I know something about that. I had one that lasted about two years, added to the nightmarish sensations of a panic disorder (which still haven't cessed completely)... It's horrible and I sympathize. I hope it won't be too long before you start feeling real again. Hang on, you'll get out of this.

[Faunatik]

@Rilan11 You don't feel alive? :(

[teliomi6]

I really love this song. Not many songs gain such respect from me, as I have very refined tastes. But this is revered by me.

[AAparallel]

@inbach I actually hear talking at 3:11 and at 4:50. Hm.

[PaleAsh]

@inbach yes I am at 4:50 when I reply; there is no one talking. Maybe someone was somewhere near you?

[breakdownhere93]

@inbach No, there's definitely something else going on besides the song... anime, I think? But that's not on other versions... hm.

[inbach]

Am I the only one who hears someone talk at 4:50?
