Lyrics

I know crossroads where I see them, see them
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
So I swim to you while I'm sleeping
Through sage green rivers of England

I see the scenery changes, changes
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
When I don't think of you, the willpower
What I didn't see was I was talking to so many people at once
I had no idea I was
I had no idea of the difference between
The way I saw your face and the way it was

Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs
Because of a few songs

I remember laughing; (because of a few songs) to take that away from you
To take that away from you; (because of a few songs) I remember laughing
I remember laughing; (because of a few songs) to take that away from you (because of a few songs)
To take that away from you; (Because of a few songs) I remember laughing
The smaller the waves;(because of a few songs) you let me down (because of a few songs)
The longer I (because of a few songs) will defend you
The smaller the waves; (because of a few songs) you let me down (because of a few songs)
The longer I (because of a few songs) will defend you (because of a few songs)

I want it to be over, I want it to be over
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
I know a crossroads where I see them, see them
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
I want it to be over, I want it to be over

Thom Yorke, Frank Ocean and James Blake - the holy trinity of sad boys

[TheMrPossibly]

James Blake could totally pull off the next James Bond movie theme song.

[daviddeanburkhart]

James Blake sings "I want it to be over, " and I hit the replay button as soon as the track is over. I feel like some sort of mischievous puppet master, trapping him in a never-ending repetitive hell. Each time the song reaches its climax, he's begging me to let it be over, to stop the endless cycle.. but "No James.." (sly smirk) "sing it again."

edit: just realized I'm a Bond villain

[irgendwelchedinge]

How can you do wrong with that voice?

James Blake could make an Album singing the telephone book of new york and I would buy it

[nehanandini]

If I ever shattered to a million star dust pieces his voice would be the only sound to adhere me together.

[EverybodyLovesMaria]

Having a mental disorder crisis at 4 a.m. Being alone. Music is saving me.

[majesticcasual]

damn James Blake is back... I love this!! ♥

[taryn.b]

I don't know about anybody else, but I always get anxiety when I see there is new music from one of my favorite artists. I'm scared that the new stuff just won't grab me like the old stuff does. well, James Blake does not fall into that category! I could tell by the third note that I was going to love this song. It's perfect and satisfying like all of his music! I love him!

[nats]

I love listening to this when going by London's undergroung 🇬🇧

[Louieduffelbags]

There are some 5 minute songs that drag on forever, but this is one of those 5 minute songs that doesn't seem nearly long enough.

[ashtookem]

Overgrown has great replay value, it's about time he released some new stuff.

[Weeela]

This sends me through the atmosphere, into the universe. Every time.

[gershonnundkumar]

Reminds me of when I moved back to live in Midrand, Johannesburg in 2016. Yoh the memories of this song. Sandton and the gautrain and living with my cousin. And partying with my best friend in jhb. Those were the days hey

[roguebeatz]

TOTALLY ADDiCTED !!!! One of those tracks that completely connect within oneself ..

" I know a crossroads where I see them, see them ...
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
So I swim to you while I'm sleeping
Through sage green rivers of England
I see the scenery changes, changes ...
I want it to be over, I want it to be over "

[WazigeLogica]

Beautiful. James Blake's music is the type that gets under your skin and soul-deep all the time.. Beautiful. It's not unusual to make me cry. Just washes over and through. Rarity.

[rdsnt]

Once you go BLAKE, you'll never go back

[jfreshgameover]

This song is my favorite song by james blake. He has so many others I love God . But this 1 hits home .

[RestaUM_livros]

[shakugan]

Greatest vocalists of 2016 in my opinion:
James Blake
Sampha
Yukimi of Little Dragon
Gallant
Björk
(& of course most of them kill production as well)

[lifeisagame]

I never want this song to end... I waited five years for this.
