Head Underwater Lyrics

by Jenny Lewis

[Verse 1]
I been wearin' 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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e117068-jenny_lewis~head_underwater_lyrics.html ]
[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Post-Chorus]
There's a little bit of magic, everybody has it
There's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass

[Chorus 4]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus 5]
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
