I wrote this one based on the “Anticipation” prompt, which made me think about how I used to waste so much time thinking and worrying about conversations I was going to have (or might have…or might never have) and rehashing conversations I already had.
Conversations
Verse 1
Maybe I’ll see her in the hallway today.
How will I act? What will I say?
What was that line that I swore I would use?
How should I stand? Damn, which words should I choose?
Chorus
These conversations rage inside my brain.
Sometimes I think that I might be insane.
Just set me free!
Verse 2
Why did I say that? What was I thinking?
Now all my hopes are dashed, my dreams are sinking.
Let me dissect it all, hit pause and rewind,
Replay each word and phrase again in my mind.
Chorus
These conversations rage inside my brain.
Sometimes I think that I might be insane.
Just set me free!
Verse 3
Did I really just say that to my boss?
If I say no to my mom, will she be cross?
In 8th grade there was this girl I liked, and she liked me, too.
So why did I admit I watch Doctor Who?
Chorus
These conversations rage inside my brain.
Sometimes I think that I might be insane.
Just set me free!
Bridge
I rehash all the things I’ve said.
It makes me wish that I were dead.
I map out every word and phrase
And ponder them for days and days.
All this living in the past and future
Has been its own special kind of torture.
The only one who can set me free
Is me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
I just need to pause.
I just need to breathe.
I just need to
Finally believe
That I am ok, just as I am.
Last Chorus
These conversations still try to invade my brain,
But at least I know that I am not insane.
I can be free.
I am free!

I love you and your overthinking! This song is so you. ;)
Great job on the rhythm change on the chorus to grab our attention. I would love to see you go all out punk on the bridge: me me me me me!!
