Outta My Head

[Instrumental Intro: Funky Rock Groove, Sharp Guitar Stabs, Driving Bass, Punchy Drums]

[Verse 1]
I was walking through an ordinary day
Nothing special, same old gray
Then she turned and dropped that line
A lightning bolt went through my mind

I froze up, didn’t know what to do
Didn’t see that coming through
Every thought just hit the floor
Like I’d never been there before

[Pre-Chorus]
It wasn’t loud, it wasn’t wild
Just a single verbal dial
Turned me all the way around
Upside down without a sound

[Chorus]
My eyes (popped!)
Outta my head
When I heard what she said

My eyes (popped!)
Outta my skull
Surprise… eyes
(Popped!)
… never gets dull

My jaw (dropped!)
Right to the ground
Didn’t even make a sound

[Instrumental Break: Guitar Riff, Snare Hits, Cartoon FX Accents]

[Verse 2]
Now I replay it in my brain
Like a broken record chain
Every time I think I’m fine
It rewinds that moment line by line

Friends all laugh when I explain
Say I’m acting kind of insane
But they weren’t there to see
The way she rearranged me

[Pre-Chorus]
It was simple, it was sly
Just a twist of word and eye
Now I’m stuck on what she said
Running loops inside my head

[Chorus]
My eyes (popped!)
Outta my head
When I heard what she said

My eyes (popped!)
Outta my skull
Surprise… eyes
(Popped!)
… never gets dull

My mind (flipped!)
Right upside down
Still spinning round and round

[Bridge]
Didn’t see it coming in
Like a grin beneath her grin
One small phrase and boom—impact
No way now to take it back

Everything I thought I knew
Changed in one quick point of view
Now I’m stuck on replay mode
Overloaded, overload

[Breakdown: Minimal Beat, Spoken Hook]
Popped…
Right out my head…
Yeah… she said what she said…

[Build: Drum Roll, Rising Guitar Feedback]

[Final Chorus]
My eyes (popped!)
Outta my head
When I heard what she said

My eyes (popped!)
Outta my skull
Surprise… eyes
(Popped!)
… never gets dull

My heart (stopped!)
Then sped ahead
Like it never had been fed

[Outro]
[Groove fades, echoing vocal chops]

Popped…
Outta my head…
Popped…
Outta my head…

[Final Hit]
(Still popped!)
… at least I ain’t dead
