Michael Flayhart Over Thinking Lyrics

Just five minutes ago I swear I saw the girl of my dreams
She made her way down 18th avenue, south
Well I said what do you know that’s where I’m going too if you’re free
Let’s skip the front and try out something new

I say hi, how do you do,
My name is Mike and I kinda like you
I am wrong when I think I’m right
And tune you out if you don’t see quite like I do

Just five minutes I scared away the girl of my dreams
I guess I must have said a little too much, oh no
I just never believed my downfall would be honesty
Well maybe that’s a way I can be quite naïve

So from now on, I’ll play it cool
Talk about sports and being a tool
And if she asks if I work out
I’ll just say hey, I wrote a song about you girl

Maybe I’m confused, I thought that all that love was getting to
Was seeing it’s your point of view. I think I misconstrued what people really wanna see if it’s not honesty.
Well how much of love is not giving up,
Is it chemistry or enduring all the worst of me,
But as I walk down the street and dwell on these things
The girl of my dreams returns to the scene.

She said Michael, you seem insightful
But you gotta loosen up ‘cause your vibe is spiteful
So don’t you stress about what you say
When it’s ten percent of what you convey, oh
It’s not all about the way you entertain
How you act is not a game or done in vain

Okay, so what you’re saying is cut back on my observations
I hope that won’t make me explode,
Hello, that’s Michael a la mode
Yeah this is me at rest when I digress from mindlessness
That’s all you get
