The Fray – Over My Head (Cable Car) (Live At Gothic) Lyrics

Rock

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth

But that's how it's 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, over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind, she's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just 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 arguments in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head, over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind, she's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head, over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind, she's all on

And suddenly, I've become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound, we lose sight of the ground in the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down 'til we torch it ourselves

And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head, over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind, she's on your mind
Everyone knows that she's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head, I'm over my

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head, over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind, she's on your mind

    Great song but what does this song mean? Does someone have an interpretation?

    i think hes saying that him and another person r growing apart but he wont let the relationship end until they both actually want it too. but thats my opinion. in the beginning hes saying that we make a friend and eventuallly we move on and discard them. so theyre part of our past. so i guess he doesnt want that to happen.
