Over My Head
------note:------
Bold is the song lyrics
Italics are the flashbacks
Normal is the present.

"OK, so if Mr. Warren's the nerdiest teacher, who's the toughest?" Dylan Tompkins asked his best friends, Cameron Davies, Mackenzie Ross, and Madison Ross
"Probably Ms…" Mack trailed off as a guy stepped in front of the four teens.
I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
"Give me your money." he said in a gruff voice.
"We-we don't have any." Cameron said.
That everyone I knew was waiting on a que
They sidestepped and tried to go around him, but he cut them off.
"Excuse us." Maddie said.
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
"Yeah, listen, we don't have any money." Dylan said.
"Oh, yeah. Think again." the man took out his gun.
But that's how it's got to be
BANG!
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
Dylan fell down and hit the floor.
"DYL!" Cameron shouted. Maddie put her hand over her heart in shock. The three girls started to go over to help their friend but the man pointed the gun at them. They froze in their spots.
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The man looked down at Dylan.
"Funny isn't it? Who would want to hurt you?"
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears
BANG!
And the world went black.
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
Dylan laid in a hospital bed, his eyes closed. His heart monitor beat steadily.
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
Shows Cameron smiling at Dylan
She's on your mind
Shows Mack and Maddie laughing
Dylan opened his eyes. He saw the three girls standing above him. He smiled lightly.
Shows Mack looking down at her stained shirt and smacking Dylan in the arm.
Shows Maddie rolling her eyes and going back to a book she was reading.
Shows Dylan pulling Cameron's hat over her eyes.
Let's rearrange
Dylan sighed and struggled to sit up.
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
"Give that to me now!" Mack yells at Dylan. He is holding her black journal over her head.
"Sorry, can't hear you." Dylan teased.
"Give it!"
"Give it!" Dylan imitated.
"Dylan…"
"Dylan…"
"I'm going to kill you!!"
"See ya!" Dylan turned and ran away. Mack ran and chased him.
-
Dylan and Mack are laying on Dylan's floor. Paper is all over the floor. They are covered in marshmallow sauce.
"You know." Mack laughs. "If I had to choose ANYONE in the school to be partners with… I'd still pick you."
Dylan blushed and smashed some more sauce in her face.
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between
"Tell her." Maddie said to Dylan in school.
"Tell who what?" Dylan asked casually.
"Tell Cam you love her!" Maddie insisted.
"Drop dead." Dylan said. Maddie clenched her heart and fell to the floor, pretending to die. Dylan laughed and stepped over her.
-
"Madison Margaret!"
"Dylan Gregory!"
"SHH! This is a library!" the librarian said to the yelling teenagers.
"Ya think?" Maddie asked. Dylan snickered to himself and sat down.
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
"This is cool." Cameron said to Dylan. The two of them were in his backyard, looking at stars.
"Yeah. And it's cooler 'cause I'm with you." Dylan said. Cameron blushed. Dylan leaned in to kiss her. Cameron shoved him off his balcony and ran away. He is laying in the bushes, smiling broadly.
-
"LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!" Dylan sang, putting his hands over his ears.
"Oh YOU ARE SO IMMATURE!" Cameron yells at him. She storms out of his room. He takes his hands off his ears and smirks in satisfaction.
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Dylan shot up in his bed, breathing heavily.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down." Cameron said, putting her hand on his chest. He blushed and she moved her hand away. "Sorry." she muttered.
"Where are Mack and Mads?" Dylan asked.
"They went to get something to eat." Cameron said.
"And you didn't?" he asked.
"I wasn't hungry." she shrugged. She sat on the edge of his bed and grinned at him.
He grinned back and closed his eyes.
Shows Mack making out with Dylan. They pull away.
"I'm sorry." he says and walks away. She sighs and sits down, her head in her hands.
And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
Dylan opened his eyes again and sighed. Cameron was sitting in a wooden chair reading a magazine.
I'm losing you and its effortless
Shows Cameron walking away with a guy. He has his hand around her shoulder.
-
Shows Mack eating dinner at a restaurant with a guy.
-
Shows Maddie kissing a guy on the lips.
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Shows Cameron sitting on her front step crying. Dylan walks by her and goes over. She looks up at him, mascara stains on her face.
"Andy broke up with me." she said.
Dylan sits down next to her. He put his arm around her shoulder and she leans on him and cries.
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves
Shows the three girls laughing and throwing water balloons at Dylan. They high-five and run away. He chases them, also laughing.
And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Dylan opened his eyes and looked at Cameron.
"What?" she said.
"Nothin'." he said. He smiled and closed his eyes.
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Everyone knows
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over...
Shows Dylan grabbing Cameron and kissing her on the lips. Kids around them are cheering loudly.
-
Shows Dylan and Cameron at a school dance. He kisses her on the lips. Shakily, she turns and walks away.
-
Shows Cameron grabbing Dylan by the collar of his shirt.
"What's this?" he asked fearfully.
"Payback." she smirked. She kisses him on the lips.
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
"Dyl?" Cameron said.
"Huh?" he asked.
"I um…" she gives him a quick kiss on the lips.
"What-what was that for?" he asked, trying to hide his smile that was stretching across his face.
"Smart people don't question me." was all Cameron commented. She was smiling.
He smiled back and didn't say nothing more.
