In Over My Head

(Album: Death Of An Optimist - 2020)

When I was nine I'd make believe
The good guy always caught the thief
The room went dark and I couldn't sleep
I was in over my head
At 15 I would look around
And all my friends had it figured out
They all thought it but they never said out loud
I was in over my head

Oh I feel this vertigo
Sick of being an optimist
I'm trying, I'm trying

But I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
Ohhh
Ohhh
Woo!

Cause I'm in over my head!

I thought I'd make change happen overnight
I was 20 thought I had a good hold on life
Didn't know it at the time I was not alright
I was in over my head
Now I'm pretty sure at 26
That it isn't gonna be some little fix
The game wasn't rigged by accident
I'm in over my head

Oh I feel this vertigo
Sick of being an optimist
I'm trying, I'm trying
Deep down it hurts to know
How bad I wanna call it quits
I'm trying, I'm trying

But I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
Ohhh
Ohhh
Woo!

Cause I'm in over my head!
Woo!
Yeah yeah yeah...
Cause I'm in over my head

Oh I feel this vertigo
Sick of being an optimist
I'm trying, I'm trying
Deep down it hurts to know
How bad I wanna call it quits
I'm trying, I'm trying
But I...

I can't hear myself though. I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF THOUGH. I CAN'T HEAR SHIT! It's cause my headphones aren't plugged in!
I'll do it live!
Waaaaaooooooo

Cause I'm in over my head!
Woo!
