Mae – The Overview lyrics
[Verse 1]
I felt the beauty and held the pain
I've been healed in the fire
And I've been burned by the flame
Lost in the dark, found in the light
And at the end of the day and the night
All I know is to try, all I hope is to see
All I want is to trust, I've just got to believe
Gravity keeping me down, this is setting me free
So much more than before, got me thinking

[Chorus]
So how do I get back home?
Get back home?
Get back home?
Whether or not I belong, it's my song
Get back home, yes sir

[Hook]
Yes, yes (Yes, yes)
This is only a test
Yes, yes (Yes, yes)
This is only a test
This is only, this is only a test

[Verse 2]
I'm floating in ether, and spinning in stars
Time captures a minute even in a jar (?)
Take in the tune, believe the view
Going up and then down, all around, make it through
Hey!

[Chorus]
So how do I get back home?
Get back home?
Get back home?
Whether or not I belong, it's my song
Get back home, yes sir
How do I get back home?
Get back home?
Get back home?
Whether or not I belong, it's my song
Get back home, yes sir

[Hook]
Yes, yes (Yes, yes)
This is only a test
Yes, yes (Yes, yes)
This is only a test
This is only, this is only a test

[Bridge]
So how do I get back home?
I used to think that God was up above us
There to judge us
Not to love us, but to hunt us
And now I see
That in between
And underneath
All of the things that bring us fear are shrinking

[Chorus]
So how do I get back home?
Get back home?
Get back home?
Whether or not I belong, it's my song
Get back home, yes sir
How do I get back home?
Get back home?
Get back home?
Whether or not I belong, it's my song
Get back home, yes sir

[Hook]
Test, test (Yes, yes)
This is only a test
Yes, yes (Yes, yes)
This is only a test
This is only, this is only a test
Yes, yes, this is only a test
Test, test
This is only a test
Yes, yes, this is only a test
Test, test
This is only a test
