back in my body

“I was stopped in London when I felt it coming down
Crashing all around me with a great triumphant sound
Like the dam was breaking and my mind came rushing in
I was stopped in London, oh, I was awakening
I was

I was o’er in Paris when I almost ran away
Two times round the block before I decided to stay
Puffed along a cigarette that went and made me sick
Spent another day pretending I was over it

This time, I know I’m fighting
This time, I know I’m back in my body
This time, I know I’m fighting
This time, I know I’m back in my body
I’m back in my body

And all along the highway there’s a tiny whispering sound
Saying I could find you in the dark of any town
But all that I am hearing in the poem of my mind
Are sullen, twisted words finding their way in every line

Oh, this time, oh, this time

This time, I know I’m fighting
This time, I know I’m back in my body
This time, I know I’m fighting
This time, I know I’m back in my body


Lost you in the border town of anywhere
I found myself when I was going everywhere
This time, I know I’m fighting
This time, I know I’m

Back in my body…”

Maggie Rogers. Lyrics of the song “Back In My Body” which was track 12 on the album Heard It In A Past Life. Capitol Records, 2019.
