head underwater
jenny lewis
i've been wearing all black since the day it started
when i stopped and looked back as my mind departed
i've been losing sleep and i cannot sit still
i'm not the same woman that you were used to
i put my head underwater baby
i threw my clothes away in the trash
i stood barefoot on the blazing concrete
i was waiting for the gut of the thunder
i don't wanna bore you with how i feel
but when the walls came down
i never thought i would ever be here
looking out on my life as if there was no there
i messed around with something i always hated
i took a blanket into the bath
opened my eyes and hallucinated
i took a nap and woke up in the grass
there's a little bit of magic
there's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass
down in the valley i got hypnotized
it left a mark that hasn't faded
there's a little bit of magic
there's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass
there's a little bit of magic
there's a little bit of fight left in the end
i put my head underwater baby
i held my breath until it passed
crossed my fingers and concentrated
i closed my eyes and i was free at last
