Over Mine

Here are the lyrics to this song from the 2024 Youth Theme album.

1. I should be paying my dues;

I’m far from living like You.

I try but I’m only human,

A constant state of improving.

But I feel the weight

Lift from my plate.

I’ve got a list of the things I’ve done wrong,

All the pain that I bore for so long.

Justice was holding the cards,

Mercy seemed so far.

Then You stepped in between me and my fate,

Took a pen to the charges I should pay.

Right on the dotted line,

You signed Your name over mine.

Mine. Mine. Mine.

2. I owe you all of my soul; now

I owe you every moment.

Whatever I do won’t measure.

I’m eternally indebted to you,

But all you want is my broken heart.

I’ve got a list of the things I’ve done wrong,

All the pain that I bore for so long.

Justice was holding the cards,

Mercy seemed so far.

Then You stepped in between me and my fate,

Took a pen to the charges I should pay.

Right on the dotted line,

You signed Your name over mine.

Mine. Mine. Mine.

I’ve got a list of the things I’ve done wrong,

All the pain that I bore for so long.

Justice was holding the cards,

Mercy seemed so far.

Then You stepped in between me and my fate,

Took a pen to the charges I should pay.

Right on the dotted line,

You signed Your name over mine.

Mine. Mine. Mine.

I owe you all of my soul; now

I owe you every moment.
