Over My Head
Cain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing here in fear of the unknown
Tides won′t rise inside my comfort zone
Stepping off the shore, headed for something more
Time to take a leap of faith
I'm in ankle deep, now it′s up to my knees
Ready to get swept away

I'm in over my head
But going down isn't going under
I′m in over my head yeah
But I ain′t going to drown when I'm swimming in wonder
I′m ready to see the mysteries awaiting in deeper water
I'm in over my head
But going down isn′t going under

Can't we meet, let′s see where we can go
Take me in, I'm giving you control
Diving into you
Always something new
Ready to get swept away

I'm in over my head
But going down isn′t going under
I′m in over my head
I ain't going to drown when I′m swimming in wonder
I'm ready to see the mysteries awaiting in deeper water
I′m in over my head
But going down isn't going under

I′m in ankle deep, now I'm up to my knees
Ready to get swept away
I'm in ankle deep, now i′m up to my knees
I′m ready to get swept away

I'm in over my head
But going down isn′t going under
I'm in over my head yeah
I ain′t going to drown when I'm swimming in wonder
I′m ready to see the mysteries awaiting in deeper water
I'm in over my head




I'm in over my head
I′m in over my head
