Clearly, I Was In Over My Head

He was there.
I saw him.
I know he saw me.
I waited to see if he would approach me.
He did not.
He just left.
He just left.
Now I know.
I don't have to keep convincing myself that he will change.
He won't.
He said so himself.
I just didn't listen.

I posted this the other day. It's a chapter of my life that has closed. The lyrics to the song, Over My Head (Cable Car), by The Fray, says it best.


I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through.
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue,
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth.
But that's how its got to be.
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy.
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears.


Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head.
With eight seconds left in overtime,
He's on your mind.

Let's rearrange.
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage.
Say that we agree and then never change.

Soften a bit until we all just get along.
But that's disregard.
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car,
Hanging above us as the canyon comes between.


Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head.
With eight seconds left in overtime,
He's on your mind.

And suddenly I become a part of your past.
Im becoming the part that don't last.
I'm losing you and it's effortless.
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground.
In the throw around.
Never thought that you wanted to bring me down
I won't let it go down till we torch it outselves.


Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head.
With eight seconds left in overtime,
He's on your mind.
