Over My Head

This song was written about lead singer and pianist Isaac Slade's relationship with his brother, Caleb, nicknamed "Cable Car". He wrote the song because he and his brother were allegedly not speaking and were at odds with each other.

I never knew, I never knew That everything was falling through That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue To turn and run when all I needed was the truth But that's how it's got to be It's coming down to nothing more than apathy I'd rather run the other way than stay and see The smoke and who's still standing when it clears And everyone knows I'm in over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She's on your mind She's on your mind Let's rearrange I wish you were a stranger I could disengage Just say that we agree and then never change Soften a bit until we all just get along That's disregard You find another friend and you discard As you lose the arguments in a cable car Hanging above as the canyon comes between And everyone knows I'm in over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She's on your mind She's on your mind Everyone knows I'm in over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She's on your mind She's on our... And suddenly I've become a part of your past I'm becoming the part that don't last I'm losing you and it's effortless Without a sound We lose sight of the ground In the throw around Never thought that you wanted to bring it down I won't let it go down 'til we torch it ourselves And everyone knows I'm in over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She's on your mind She's on your mind Everyone knows She's on your mind Everyone knows I'm in over my head I'm in over my head I'm over my... Everyone knows I'm in over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She's on your mind She's on your mind
