Always In My Head

India.Arie · Acoustic Soul [2001]

You're like a cool breeze

On a summer's day...



You're always in my head

You're always in my head



You're like a cool breeze on a summer's day

You're like a river running through a desert plain

You are my shelter from the pouring rain

You were my comfort even before the pain

I can hear the sound of five drummers in the wind

Leaves blowing in the breeze ring out like guitars

A tin can rolls across the gravel like a tamborine

I am but a vessel, so I sing

Because you are in my head



[Chorus]

You're always in my head

In my dreams, you're always in my head

In my pain, you're always in my head

In my peace, you're always in my head



A rainbow of rhythm stretches across the sky

An airplane in the distance plays a beautiful cello line

It's no coincidence it's in tune with the music in my ears

If you were a shoulder, you're where I would rest

But I am a vessel so I hear you in my head



[Chorus]

You're always in my head

In my fears, you're always in my head

In my joys, you're always in my head

In tears, you're always in my head



You're always in my head



You're like a cool breeze on a summer's day

You're like a river running through a desert plain

You've been my shelter from the pouring rain

You were my comfort even before the pain

Because I hear you in my head



[Chorus]

You're always in my head

In my dreams, you're always in my head

In my pain, you're always in my head

In my peace, you're always in my head



You're always in my head



[Chorus]

You're always in my head

In my fears, you're always in my head

In my joy, you're always in my head

In my tears, you're always in my head



How can I live one day without music

How can I live one day without you

How can I live one day without music

You're always in my head

(x3)



You are, you are love

You are, you are light

You are, you are joy

You are, you are peace
