about

This is the title track and single for my new album EP Man Overboard. It's about that crazy thing that happens in some relationships when you realize the other person is not going to change and you have to let them go...

lyrics

Man Overboard
Words and music by Maddy (Madison) Rodriguez

The wind is heavy
The clouds grow dark
Another tsunami
Ripping us apart and baby

You know I love you
I don’t give up, when the storm gets bad
But you’re afraid of injuries
So you won’t love me back

You never stick it out long enough
For the storm to pass
All you know how to do
Is give up and pack your bags

Once again I’m shouting man overboard
You jump into the water, swim to the shore
Just when I am needing you the most to stay
In the middle of the storm you always run away
Shame on me for thinking that you’d stick around
You fooled me like you’ve done so many times before
Once again I’m shouting man overboard
Once again I’m shouting man overboard

You race back to me
When you figure out that you’re alone
And usually I let you
Come back onto the boat

But eventually you abandon me
You always bail when you get scared
So I won’t take you in again
You can drown for all I care

Once again I’m shouting man overboard
You jump into the water, swim to the shore
Just when I am needing you the most to stay
In the middle of the storm you always run away
Shame on me for thinking that you’d stick around
You fooled me like you’ve done so many times before
Once again I’m shouting man overboard
Once again I’m shouting man overboard

You’re so predictable
And yet I always fall for you
But I can’t do this anymore with you
We’ve just been here too many times before

Once again I’m shouting man overboard
You jump into the water, swim to the shore
Just when I am needing you the most to stay
In the middle of the storm you always run away
Shame on me for thinking that you’d stick around
You fooled me like you’ve done so many times before
Once again I’m shouting man overboard
Once again I’m shouting man overboard
