Overwhelm (The Clutter Song)
Overwhelm (The Clutter Song) February 2018
VERSE
Spent the last 20 minutes
Staring down a pile of papers
Not sure who won that contest
But it’s giving me the vapors
I’d like to outside and play
And join the world of people
But right now I feel stuck
Watching the monster piles creep all
Over the house
CHORUS
I’m Oh-Ver-Whelmed with clutter
Can’t get it outta my head
I’m Oh-Ver-Whelmed with clutter
It’s gonna over run my bed
Can’t see my way clear
Don’t know what to do
There’s a riptide of stuff sweeping me away
Could you help, help pull me through?
VERSE
A rising tide lifts all boats
But this is smothering my life
Was gonna write a book, but I lost my notes
Guess I’ll just sit here and hide
What do people do
When they feel this way
How do they keep the darkness out
And the clutter at bay?
I’ll wait…(I have to, the door’s stuck shut)
CHORUS
I’m Oh-Ver-Whelmed with clutter
Can’t get it outta my head
I’m Oh-Ver-Whelmed with clutter
It’s gonna over run my bed
Can’t see my way clear
Don’t know what to do
There’s a riptide of stuff sweeping me awayy
Could you help, help pull me through?
VERSE
Just sittin’ here now
Singin’ this song
In a tiny voice
If I do it any louder,
The house’ll come down
In a crash of thunder
I put out a note
Out the window
For the postman to see (oh, please see)
Now I wait…
And now I wait….
(beat)
CHORUS
I’m Oh-Ver-Whelmed with clutter
Can’t get it outta my head
I’m Oh-Ver-Whelmed with clutter
It’s gonna over run my bed
Can’t see my way clear
Don’t know what to do
There’s a riptide of stuff sweeping me awayy
Could you help, help pull me through?
Oh look there’s a light
Someone’s comin’ through
Could be George or Bonnie or Danny or Sue
I need help, I bet you do too
Together we can pull, we can pull on through
Outta this mess!
