Sugar Plum

First thought, heard it all before
Not gonna get far with an attitude like that
It's hard to break a habit when it's just so comfortable
And I don't know anybody 'round here
I sincerely hope to settle in
Let's not make a big thing about it

They say make hay while the sun shines
But sometimes I wanna just lay around
Read a book, eventually forget about everything

I'm in over my head
Yeah, I'm over my head
I'm in over my head
Yeah, I'm over my head

And I know I got a sensitive heart
I'm always picking it apart when I throw it to the vultures
They don't want it either, probably too sincere
And up here above the clouds and the crowds
Floating on the outside looking in
It seems like everybody's struggling

You're either drowning in the deeper sea
Or drowning in the kitchen sink
Either way, it all feels like drowning

I'm in over my head
Yeah, I'm over my head
I'm in over my head
Yeah, I'm over my head

I'm in over my head
Yeah, I'm over my head
I'm in over my head
Yeah, I'm over my head

And I'm looking forward to some brighter days
'Cause I like the way that the shadows are falling across the trees
And I sure could use just a couple degrees more
And I'm doing fine, but my brain feels fried
Maybe you were right
I'm watching too much TV every night, yeah
And by the way, I just wanna say
Yeah, you know those words don't come easy to me
So I'm looking for a little leniency

Ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
And I write it down on the back of my hand
'Cause I'm afraid that I won't remember

Ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
And I'll learn to breathe again
And then when it's over, it'll be a new day
They're singing

Ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
And I'll learn to breathe again
And then when it's over, it'll be a new day
They're singing

Ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
And I'll learn to breathe again
And then when it's over, it'll be a new day
