Back In My Body Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was stopped in London when I felt it coming down
Crushing 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

[Verse 2]
I was stopped 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

[Chorus]
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, oh
I'm back in my body, oh

[Verse 3]
All along the highway there's a tiny whispering sound
Saying I could find you in the dark of any town
[?]
[?]

[Refrain]
Oh, this time, oh, this time

[Chorus]
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)
Oh, I lost you in the morning, don't live anywhere
I find myself and I was going everywhere
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time

[Chorus]
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)
Oh, I lost you in the morning, don't live anywhere
I find myself and I was going everywhere
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)
Oh, I lost you in the morning, don't live anywhere
I find myself and I was going everywhere
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm back in my body, oh
Back in my body, oh
I'm back in my body, oh
Back in my body, oh, oh

First known for her 2016 viral hit "Alaska," singer/songwriter Maggie Rogers combines folk, dance, and R&B into a powerfully emotional yet crowd-pleasing sound. Growing up in rural Maryland, Rogers began playing harp at age seven and loved the music of Gustav Holst and Vivaldi. Meanwhile, her mother played her neo-soul divas like Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill; by the time she was in middle school, she'd added piano, guitar, and songwriting to her repertoire. While studying at St. Andrews School in Delaware, she fell in love with the banjo and folk music, and attended a Berklee School of Music program during the summer after her junior year. Rogers won the program's songwriting contest, which spurred her to focus on writing as high school came to a close. During her senior year, she turned a broom closet into a makeshift studio and recorded what became her first album, 2012's The Echo; Rogers included her demos as part of her application to New York University's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. She released another folky album, 2014's Blood Ballet, during her sophomore year at the school. However, her sound was evolving, thanks in part to her discovery of electronic music while studying abroad in France. Rogers united the different strands of her music with huge success in 2016 with "Alaska," a song she wrote in 15 minutes about a hiking trip for a masterclass with Pharrell Williams. A video of a visibly moved Williams listening to the song went viral that June, resulting in millions of views as well as hundreds of thousands of plays of The Echo and Blood Ballet. Rogers released the finished version of "Alaska" later that month and planned to release an EP in the near future. Read more on Last.fm.
