Alice In Chains - Over Now

I'm back in Montreal, happy but beat up from all those hours under the sun and on the road. As a part of my latest streak of Alice In Chains loving, here's a song I rediscovered a few weeks ago. I was never struck by Over Now in my earlier years. Its low-key aspect and its drifting melancholy took time to reach out to me. But here it is. If you liked No Excuses and Heaven Beside You, you will love Over Now.

Alice In Chains - Over Now

yeah, it's over now
but i can breathe somehow
when it's all worn out
i'd rather go without

you know it's been on my mind
could you stand right here
look me straight in the eye and say
that it's over now

we pay our debt sometime

well it's over now
yet i can see somehow
when it's all gone wrong
it's hard to be so strong

we pay our debt sometime

guess it's over now
i seem alive somehow
when it's out of sight
just wait and do your time

you know it's been on my mind
could i stand right here
look myself in the eyes, and say
that it's over now

we pay our debt sometime
