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

the shit got real

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

everybody has it

there's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass

my own mortality

i contemplated

down in the valley i got hypnotized

it left a mark that hasn't faded

that's when i realized

there's a little bit of magic

everybody has it

there's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass

there's a little bit of magic

everybody has it

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
