Sarah drifts in on the wings of a wonderfully breathy track with Over + Under. The song is an ode to memory, with a vulnerable exploration of the underlying pull of the elements as a metaphor for what it’s like to surrender to something larger than yourself. The songwriting masterfully binds nostalg...
[Intro]
(I’m over, I’m under, I’m over)
(Ah ha-ha, ah ha-ha)
[Verse 1]
I think of you as the wind catches onto the breeze
Pulling me
You are the ocean of endless possibility
Surrounding, surrounding, surrounding me
Surrounding me
The clouds spell your name
They all try to say some things never stay the same
The tree in my backyard, the look on your face
I guess some things never change
(Ah ha-ha, ah ha-ha)
[Chorus]
I’m over and I’m under you again
Some things are meant to happen
Over and I’m under you again
[Verse 2]
Back in my hometown I wonder if I’m out of place
These years feel so far away
And my feet are stuck and I’ll leave once the garden is gray
I’ll get out someday
And I’ll chase the clouds
Walking in circles now
This life will always stay the same
The tree in my backyard, the look on your face
I guess some things have to change
(Ah ha-ha, ah ha-ha)
[Chorus]
I’m over and I’m under you again
Some things are meant to happen
Over and I’m under you again
[Post-Chorus]
I’m over, I’m under
I’m over and under and over
I’m over, I’m under
I’m over and under and over again
Again, again, again
[Bridge]
Here I go again, I go again
Coming round again, I’m walking again
Here I go again, I go again
Coming round again, I’m walking again
[Verse 3]
Sacrifice my devotion
Feel my skin against the ocean
I’m back in, you’re pulling me back in
And my torso in the tide now
The sun will come back down
I’m under again
I’m over, under and over you again
[Outro]
Some things are meant to happen
