Overthinking

Oh I get so tired of chasing around

For some tail in another part of town

For some water when I know I’m gonna drown

Oh yeah I get tired of chasing around

For the same old tail in a different part of town

When I know

She’s not around

She ditched the playground

Long before the shakedown

Sexual frustration

I get this feeling that I

I will remain the same

Attempt to break the pattern

Or reprogram my brain

My mind is a museum

Marble and granite walls

Hundreds of people scuffling

Through the gallery halls

They talk to themselves

Looking down at the ground

They never stop to look at

The beautiful art around

How did I get here?

How do I stop from sinking?

Attempt to break the pattern

Or is this normal thinking?

Oh I get so tired of personal criticism

It's my unsolved puzzle in a prison

It's my pride that doesn’t want to listen

One sunny day when I’m feeling real fine I’m gonna go down there and tell her what's on my mind

Gonna play it smooth gonna look real nice I’m gonna take you by surprise and look into your eyes

I'm gonna say

I'm gonna say

Normal thinking?

Normal thinking?

Is this normal or am I over thinking

I'm thinking

I'm thinking

This is normal and I'm over thinking
