Actually, Christine's lyrics always have her being overcome by love and loss. Her lyrics are more dependent than she actually is. She is often passive in love, used, lyrically. Whether she is usually "out of her mind" is a different story, but I always loved the song. I don't see the difference between being out of her mind and over her head.

Being an Ozzie and Harriet collector, I always loved it that Kristen Nelson Tinker (Rick Nelson's ex) named her book "Out of My Mind." It wasn't a nod to Christine, but it always reminded me of that song.
