  • You are overbearing, I'm not in love
    But I don't wanna tell you
    We've been contemplating how to give it up
    But I can't convince you
    And we've been hopelessly holding too tight
    When we don't even need to
    And as the water fills this sinking ship
    I know we have to leave too

    Oh-oh
    Oh-oh
    Mayday, mayday
    This is an emergency
    Mayday, mayday
    You've gotta let me leave
    I'm laying here, inches away
    But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah

    I said I'm moving on, 'cause things were getting rough
    But here I am in your bed
    I strung it on too long, afraid to be alone
    Now we're in over our heads
    It's either sink or swim, we've tried so many times
    For worse or for better
    It tears my heart in two to leave it all behind
    And say goodbye forever

    Oh-oh
    Oh-oh
    Mayday, mayday
    This is an emergency
    Mayday, mayday
    You've gotta let me leave
    I'm laying here, inches away
    But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah

    Oh, you gotta let me leave
    Oh, the weight will make us sink
    Oh, could you please help me leave?
    Oh, abandon ship with me

    Mayday, mayday
    This is an emergency
    Mayday, mayday
    You've gotta let me leave
    I'm laying here, inches away
    But you can't hear me call mayday

    Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you)
    Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you)
    Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you) Writer/s: Cam Ochs, Samuel Tyler Johnson
