Overnight
If you told me back then
It would take me this long to get somewhere
I probably wouldn't have tried
If you told me how much I'd be hurt on the way
I probably wouldn't have tried
But the thing is I didn't know what I didn't know
And I suppose it helped
Not to know what I couldn't have known but know now
And slowly but surely
I see the turn of the tide
I can feel it in my bones
Every stone that I've thrown made a ripple
And it all came to light
Overnight
Overnight
Oooh it takes so long, but it happens overnight
And we're far from the place
Where we laugh in the face of the struggle
And maybe we'll never arrive
But before we need more
We're ashore on this island and I've found
The reason I think I'm alive
And it's true that all that I know came from having to grow
And hindsight makes it sweet
When the bitter taste lasted so long
But gave me a song to sing
And slowly but surely, I see the turn of the tide
I can feel it in my bones
Every stone that I've thrown made a ripple
And it all came to light
Overnight
Overnight
She built a boat
To travel the seas
And now as I reach for the anchor
I'll nod and I'll thank her
And hope for a friendlier breeze
And I won't be scared
'Cause I realise
That all of your dreams
As wild as it seems
Can materialise
Overnight
Overnight
Oooh it takes so long, but it happens overnight
It would take me this long to get somewhere
I probably wouldn't have tried
If you told me how much I'd be hurt on the way
I probably wouldn't have tried
But the thing is I didn't know what I didn't know
And I suppose it helped
Not to know what I couldn't have known but know now
And slowly but surely
I see the turn of the tide
I can feel it in my bones
Every stone that I've thrown made a ripple
And it all came to light
Overnight
Overnight
Oooh it takes so long, but it happens overnight
And we're far from the place
Where we laugh in the face of the struggle
And maybe we'll never arrive
But before we need more
We're ashore on this island and I've found
The reason I think I'm alive
And it's true that all that I know came from having to grow
And hindsight makes it sweet
When the bitter taste lasted so long
But gave me a song to sing
And slowly but surely, I see the turn of the tide
I can feel it in my bones
Every stone that I've thrown made a ripple
And it all came to light
Overnight
Overnight
She built a boat
To travel the seas
And now as I reach for the anchor
I'll nod and I'll thank her
And hope for a friendlier breeze
And I won't be scared
'Cause I realise
That all of your dreams
As wild as it seems
Can materialise
Overnight
Overnight
Oooh it takes so long, but it happens overnight
