Lyrics for 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
