Yeah
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 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
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Woo
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 bе some little fix
The gamе 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
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Woo
Woo
'Cause I'm in over my head
Woo
'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'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!
Woah
'Cause I'm in over my head!
Woo!
