Q&A
Over My Head Lyrics
some odd door
some blooming tree
senseless and awkward
feeling hard uneased
sleep in rooms where people leave
dry of gentleness
of life
of breeze
sometimes you get so alone without a friend
it's hard to know who you are
and to pretend
little lights reaching over my head
shiny sinks to let myself out in
and you won't call to say it's all right
'cause you know it lasts all night
you know you should be at home
where it's good to be tired
under a roof that you know
that we're inside
some odd door
off-white painted sills
faded pictures gathered round me still
and i know what you face in the night
and i know you'll be alright
some blooming tree
senseless and awkward
feeling hard uneased
sleep in rooms where people leave
dry of gentleness
of life
of breeze
it's hard to know who you are
and to pretend
shiny sinks to let myself out in
and you won't call to say it's all right
'cause you know it lasts all night
where it's good to be tired
under a roof that you know
that we're inside
off-white painted sills
faded pictures gathered round me still
and i know what you face in the night
and i know you'll be alright

this album's underrated, and i think this is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard.
I'm not completely sure what this song is about. I know that is is about being sad and alone. I think it might also be about letting go of the past. I really like the last line in the song though "and i know aht you face in the night and I know you'll be alright"
some how though, this song always makes me feel happy. Like getting on the open road on your way to a camping trip so much to look forward to- a carefree time and its only just begun.
It makes me happy through how relative it is to me with my own feeling of loneliness. These conflicting emotions make the song all the more beautiful.
