Isaac Slade wrote the song about a fight he had with his brother Caleb (whose nickname is Cable Car). Isaac has mentioned on occasion that this fight had something to do with Isaac asking Caleb (who was the first bassist) to leave the band for its best interests in 2002. The song is told from Caleb's view point, for example, "To turn and run when all I needed was the truth," corresponds to the band not telling him about his shortcomings as a bassist. In the second verse, he tells the band that they will find a new bassist, but still mistreat the new bassist as they mistreated him ("Find another friend and you'll discard."). [3]. The original title of the track was just "Cable Car" but Epic Records believed that it would be easier for people to remember "Over My Head".

it seems to be about someone who thinks they are hiding what they are going through, with a girlfrend or ex and is not hiding it very well and friends can see its really bothers the person. or singer in this case
hope it helps
