  • Oh, in my head

    You said with certainty
    I may be the dumbest person that you've ever seen
    You think you're hurtin' me
    Bet you won't believe it, but you kinda set me free

    You've mentioned Adderall
    Slip this guy a sedative, he's bouncin' off the wall
    Honey, it's no big deal
    We'll get you back to college, you could study somethin' real

    So if that's how you feel

    When we go down
    When kingdom come
    Don't look at me, don't look at me
    I'm just too dumb
    I'd love to stay (love to stay)
    But like you said (like you said)
    Don't look at me
    'Cause I got nothin' in my head (nothin' in my head)
    Oh, in my head

    Too dumb for breakin' up
    I'd do it in person, but I'd probably mess it up
    I'll text you, "That's enough"
    That's how empty-headed people get through shitty stuff

    Your world is endin' soon
    Mine's a little better 'cause I never watch the news
    You make my lunch today
    I would do it, but I couldn't work my microwave

    So if that's what you're sayin'

    When we go down
    When kingdom come
    Don't look at me, don't look at me
    I'm just too dumb
    I'd love to stay (love to stay)
    But like you said (like you said)
    Don't look at me
    'Cause I got nothin' in my head (nothin' in my head)
    Oh, in my head

    You should not have done that
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da

    When we go down (we go down)
    When kingdom come (kingdom come)
    Don't look at me, don't look at me
    I'm much too dumb
    I'd love to stay (love to stay)
    But like you said (like you said)
    Don't look at me
    'Cause I got nothin' in my head (nothin' in my head)
    Oh, in my head
    Oh, in my head

    When we go down
    When kingdom come
    Don't look at me, don't look at me
    I'm just too dumb Writer/s: Adam Brett Metzger, Jack Evan Metzger, Ryan Metzger
