Overjoyed (Detour City redux) Songtext
von Bastille

Oh, I feel overjoyed when you listen to my words
I see them sinking in, and I see them crawling underneath your skin

Words are all we have
We′ll be talking, we will be talking
These words are all we have
We'll be talking

And I hear you calling in the dead of night (I hear you in the dead of night, in the dead of night) (oh, I feel overjoyed)
Oh, I hear you calling in the dead of night (I hear you in the dead of night, in the dead of night)
And I hear you calling in the dead of night (I hear you in the dead of night, in the dead of night) (oh, I feel overjoyed)
Oh, I hear you calling in the dead of night (I hear you in the dead of night, in the dead of night)

You lean towards despair
Any given opportunity, you′re there
But what is there to gain, when you're always falling off the fence that way?


I feel overjoyed
I feel overjoyed
I feel overjoyed
I feel overjoyed
I feel overjoyed
I feel overjoyed
Oh, I feel overjoyed

I feel overjoyed
I feel overjoyed
I feel overjoyed
I feel overjoyed
I feel overjoyed
I feel overjoyed
Oh, I feel overjoyed

And I hear you calling in the dead of night (I hear you in the dead of night, in the dead of night) (oh, I feel overjoyed)
Oh, I hear you calling in the dead of night (I hear you in the dead of night, in the dead of night)
And I hear you calling in the dead of night (I hear you in the dead of night, in the dead of night) (oh, I feel overjoyed)
Oh, I hear you calling in the dead of night (I hear you in the dead of night, in the dead of night)

And I hear you calling in the dead of night (I hear you in the dead of night, in the dead of night) (oh, I feel overjoyed)
Oh, I hear you calling in the dead of night (I hear you in the dead of night, in the dead of night)
And I hear you calling in the dead of night (I hear you in the dead of night, in the dead of night) (oh, I feel overjoyed)
Oh, I hear you calling in the dead of night (I hear you in the dead of night, in the dead of night)
