In Over My Head lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah

[Verse 1]

When I was nine, I'd make 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 fifteen, 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I feel this vertigo

Sick of being an optimist

I'm trying, I'm trying

[Chorus]

But I'm in over my head

I'm in over my head

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

[Drop]

Woo

Woo

'Cause I'm in over my head

[Verse 2]

I thought I'd make change happen overnight

I was twenty, 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 twenty-six

That it isn't gonna be some little fix

The game wasn't rigged by accident

I'm in over my head

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

But I'm in over my head

I'm in over my head

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

[Drop]

Woo

Woo

'Cause I'm in over my head

Woo

'Cause I'm in over my head

[Bridge]

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

[Outro]

But I'm—

I can't hear myself

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

Woo

'Cause I'm in over my head

Woo
