Overdrive Lyrics – Maggie Rogers
Soundtrack Album: Uglies
Overdrive Text
To reach Shay in the Smoke and finally be granted her operation, Tally must travel across the wilderness. It's a harrowing journey, made even more difficult by Shay's cryptic instructions on how to reach the Smoke. As Tally faced obstacles like cliffside, waterfalls, cold nights, and way too many instant meals (the infamous SpagBol), the song "Overdrive" by Maggie Rogers can be heard.
Hey, hey
Ooh-ooh
My love, would you walk
For hours just to talk?
You did it better when you were on my side
Covered in leather, now you are in overdrive
Hmm
Oh, young, were we?
But I'm sick of saying you made me weak at the knees
'Cause I was a runner and I could go for miles
Gave me a reason
Now I'm in overdrive (put me in overdrive)
Overdrive, ooh (put me in overdrive)
Oh-oh-oh (put me in overdrive)
(Oh, I'm in over–)
I don't wanna do this again if you're gon' break my heart
I'm tearing at the seams, can't believe that it's gotta be this hard
You told me that I was all you could see, but you kept me in the dark
Put me in overdrive (put me in overdrive)
Oh, oh (put me in overdrive), ooh
