Quintilone Karaoke Over My Head By The Fray

"Over My Head (Cable Car)" (originally performed as "Cable Car") is a song by American rock band The Fray. It was released in October 2005 as the lead single from their debut album How to Save a Life (2005) and hit the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The single helped propel their album from the Top Heatseekers chart to the top 20 of The Billboard 200 chart. The CD single was backed with "Heaven Forbid" and a live version of "Hundred". In the UK, "Over My Head (Cable Car)" was released as the second single from the album, following "How to Save a Life". The song "Over My Head" was written about lead singer and pianist Isaac Slade's relationship with his brother, Caleb, nicknamed "Cable Car". He wrote the song because he and his brother were allegedly not speaking and were at odds with each other:
"It is about a fight I got in with my brother, Caleb. After he graduated high school, we drifted apart and really hadn't spoken in a long time. One day we both realized that we needed to fight it out. We'd been friends for 20 years. That's a long time when you're only 23 years old. We fought it out, and he's one of my best friends today."

Over My Head By The Fray

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
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 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 on your mind

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm 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 it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

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 She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in Over my head
I'm in over my head I'm in 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
