"Overthinking" lyrics
"Overthinking"
I'm on an overcrowded train
Fighting an overcrowded brain
And all these bags under my eyes
Hold up my compromise
Maybe I should change just everything, anything
Did you not learn anything in school?
Could have played by the rules
Could be happy in a different way
Struggling with the London rent
They said it would be hard now I know what they meant
I lose sleep, head stuck in the cereal bowl
But I'm here for the music, I know
Distracted!
Can I say what I mean, can I mean what I say
Why can't I figure out how I feel when I wake up everyday
Facing the world with the same old logic
Overanalysing everything is tragic
And maybe some things they will never make sense
So I tackle it all but I'm not making a dent, no
And I think my brain is breaking
And it's just myself I've been blaming
It's frustrating
I just wanna know why
And I know no good will come of it
I wish that I could just be done with it
But I'm sinking
I just wanna know why I'm overthinking...
I'm an outcast, to be left behind
I'm an extrovert with an anxious mind
There's a danger that I'm gonna pour my heart out to a total stranger
In a bar
And they're not gonna wanna hear
No, they're just there to sip their beer
Not hear about problems to solve
"God this girl's so self involved"
I play it out my head
I'm trying to make good choices
I hear voices
They can't pick one side
Help! I look so stupid
Sitting there tongue tied
Meltdown! All I can hear
Is code red, code red
Got a problem in the control centre
In my own head
Facing the world with the same old logic
Overanalysing everything is tragic
And maybe some things they will never make sense
So I tackle it all but I'm not making a dent, no
And I think my brain is breaking
And it's just myself I've been blaming
It's frustrating
I just wanna know why
And I know no good will come of it
I wish that I could just be done with it
But I'm sinking
I just wanna know why I'm overthinking...

Parents who chose our direction
Futures with too many questions
So we stuff into cars 'cause we can't go to bars
House filled with kids trying to face it

Making it's home under my lash line

Faster than you...

So was I
There was comfort

Dreams and ideas should not be the same thing
You waited, smiling for this?
Oh, she'd want it
If she knew
She could take it

My eyes will search for you
Abandoned by my company
I'll search for what's in front of me
