Head Underwater - Jenny Lewis

I been wearing all black since the day it started

When I stopped and looked back as my mind departed

I been losing sleep and I cannot sit still, oh

I’m not the same woman that you were used to, oh

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 to crash

I don’t wanna bore you with how I feel

But when the walls came down, the shit got real, oh

I never thought I would ever be here

Looking out on my life as if there was no there, there

I messed around with somethin' 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 me yet

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
