"Above My Head" lyrics
"Above My Head"
I have these dreams where I'm losing all my teeth
Where the walls begin to cave in and bury me beneath (Bury me beneath)
And when I wake, there's a part of me that wishes
That my nightmares would come true, if only just to give me peace
I need space. I need a night in my own bed. I need this like I need a hole in the head
I'm so unprepared to go through this again
I'm a wreck, I confess, I am in so far above my head,
And I've been telling everyone that I can't bear the weight
When I break, do you break? Do you feel it like your bones are aching?
Even as we grow, it hurts to know that some things never change
How could I blame you if you walked away? But please believe me when you hear me say:
I hope you find what you're searching for. Don't we all deserve to feel something more?
You deserve to feel something more
Take the time to mend what's broken, like we did at the start
All we leave unspoken will tear us apart, and I've been dying to get this off my chest
I'm a wreck, I confess, I am in so far above my head,
And I've been telling everyone that I can't bear the weight
When I break, do you break? Do you feel it like your bones are aching?
Even as we grow, it hurts to know that some things never change
In sight and sound, I found a reason to stick around, but nothing's changed
I know this time I've pushed your patience, and crossed a line I saw too late
In sight and sound, I found a reason to stick around, but nothing's changed
I found a reason, but nothing's changed
And I'm just trying to say
I'm a wreck, I confess, I am in so far above my head,
And I've been telling everyone that I can't bear the weight
When I break, do you break? Do you feel it like your bones are aching?
Even as we grow, it hurts to know that some things never change
Some things never change

Polaris' drummer Daniel Furnari told about "Above My Head", "This song has a bit of a double meaning in that it essentially parallels some of our anxieties about diving into the process of this album and feeling out of our depth, with a conversation between two people in a relationship who are scared about the uncertainty of their future."
Speaking to RockSound.tv, Daniel Furnari explained, "A lot of times this song parallels the band relationships with other relationships in our lives as well – it talks about what we're dealing with as members of the band and the fears we have going into the creative process of creating a record, while also the fear of having to leave home again after not having enough time to settle down and how that effects our relationships with the people we care about."
