the contrary - overexposed lyrics
[verse 1]
instant flash with the picture startled me
now there’s an elephant in the room
been talking to myself
chasing memories like the wind
these portraits self-captioned and words self-captured
are not moments to own
but now it’s time to leave memory lane
and run from the shame
[chorus 1]
and with these photographs
are blemishes from the past
apologies for being rash
the eternal itch for your attention
leaves me to realize
my sought-after peace of mind
[hook]
was in letting go and stopping to think
of how to pull myself together
it’s time to push forward
no holding back [x2]
[verse 2]
spinning round and round
this carousel charges by the fees
with the vicious cycle
of all my inconsistencies
tested day and night
wrong seems right-
yet the proctor will see you through
so now it’s time to leave memory lane
defame the blame
with no shame
[chorus 2]
and with these photographs
are imperfections from the past
sorry for having said too much
for the little i am left with
leaves me to realize
my sought-after peace of mind
[hook]
[bridge: instrumental]
[chorus 3]
and with these photographs
are flaws from the past
my mistake was running out of time
without watching the clock, i just am
left to realize
the right peace of mind
was in letting go
