[INTRO — quiet, spoken] Okay... It's probably nothing. I'm probably thinking too much. ...Right? [VERSE 1 — male rap, calm] One little thought and I give it a minute, Then another one comes and I'm right back in it, I tell myself, “Stop,” but I don't really listen, 'Cause my brain loves turning a thought to a mission. What did they mean? Was there something I missed? Why'd they say it like that? Why'd they word it like this? Maybe I'm fine, maybe none of it matters, But now I've got questions that multiply faster. I could've just asked, but I didn't, of course, So I build up a story and give it a source, Take one tiny moment, stretch it for days, Then wonder why I'm lost in the maze. [PRE-CHORUS — female, soft] Maybe I should let it go, Maybe I don't need to know, But the second that I try, Another question comes to mind. [CHORUS — female melodic] I overthink, overthink, 'Til a little thing becomes everything, I overthink, overthink, Try to find an answer to a question I invented. I know I should let it go, But my mind won't let me sleep, I overthink, overthink, And get lost inside of me. [VERSE 2 — male rap, faster] Now I'm thinking 'bout the thing that I thought about earlier, Then I'm thinking about thinking and it couldn't get weirder, Should I say something? No, probably not, But what if I don't and they think that I'm not— What? Why am I doing this again? I had one simple thought and I turned it into ten. Then ten became a hundred, now I'm counting every word, Trying to find a hidden meaning in something I misheard. Maybe they were busy. Maybe they were tired. Maybe nothing happened. Maybe I'm inspired— To make another problem where there isn't even one, Congratulations, brain, you've officially begun. [PRE-CHORUS — female, building] Maybe I should let it go, Maybe I don't need control, 'Cause every answer that I find Just gives me one more “what if?” in my mind. [CHORUS — female, bigger] I overthink, overthink, 'Til a little thing becomes everything, I overthink, overthink, Try to find an answer to a question I invented. I know I should let it go, But my mind won't let me sleep, I overthink, overthink, And get lost inside of me. [BRIDGE — female, quiet / almost whispered] What if I don't know? What if that's okay? What if I don't solve it Before the end of today? What if every answer Doesn't have to come tonight? What if I can close my eyes And let tomorrow figure out the rest? [RAP BREAKDOWN — male, very fast, escalating] 'Cause I don't need another theory, Another possibility, Another explanation For something that was probably nothing. I don't need to replay it, I don't need to rearrange it, I don't need to take a moment And completely overcomplicate it. I can breathe. I can stop. I can leave the question where it was. I don't need to know Every single reason, every single thought— [SUDDEN STOP] ...I can just let it go. [FINAL CHORUS — both, huge] [Female] I overthink, overthink, 'Til a little thing becomes everything— [Male] But I don't have to make it something Just because it's in my head— [Female] I overthink, overthink, But I'm learning I can let it go— [Both] I don't need to know it all, I just need to know I'm okay. [OUTRO — female, soft] Maybe I think too much... [Male, distant] Maybe that's okay. [Both, whispered] Just let it go.
