Overthinking (demo) Songtext
von Orla Gartland

I′m on an overcrowded train
Fighting an overcrowded brain
And all these bags under my eyes
Hold up my compromise
Maybe I should bail on 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'll 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 every day?


I face everything with the same old logic
Over analyzing, 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 breakin′
And it′s just myself I've been blamin′
It's frustratin′
I just wanna know why
And I know no good can come of it
I wish that I could just be done with it
But I'm sinkin′
I just wanna know why I'm overthinkin'
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why


I′m an outcast, to be left behind
I′m an extrovert with an anxious mind
There's a dangerb that I might just
Pour my heart out to a total stranger in a bar
They′re not gonna wanna hear
No, they're just there to sip their beer
Not hear about problems to solve and
"God this girl′s so self-involved"
I play it out in my head
I'm tryna 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
Over analyzing 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 breakin'
And it′s just myself I′ve been blamin'
It′s frustratin'
I just wanna know why
And I know no good can come of it
I wish that I could just be done with it
But I′m sinkin'
I just wanna know why I′m overthinkin'
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know why
