‘In My Head’, the eighth track from ‘It’s Not That Deep’, is a raw, self-aware examination of the struggle to break free from a toxic connection.
The song uses cinematic and professional metaphors to describe the speaker’s self-delusion.
Ultimately, the track is a powerful confession about the ago...
[Verse 1]
I should be an author
The way that I can twist every word, every story, and turn you into the hero
I'll make you the guy who gets the girl and the glory
Yeah, I should be a doctor
The way that I keep stitching myself back up before you even get to reload
I bet I'll be back in your bed by tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus]
I could be everything I'm not, could play every single part
And you'll still call it whatever
I could do every single job, give you everything you want
And you'd still look for something better
And I try
To get you off my mind
[Chorus]
But you're still in my head, head, head
Always in my head, head, head
And I can't help but think about the life I'd live if I could just get over this
You're still in my head, head, head
[Verse 2]
If this was a movie
You'd be on the screen and even if you were mean, it would sound so poetic
They would be applauding before they got to the credits
Yeah, you should be an actor
The way you're making a scene and how you make me believe every word, every sentence
You don't have to say it, I know that I sound pathetic
[Pre-Chorus]
I could be everything I'm not, could play every single part
And you'll still call it whatever
I could do every single job, give you everything you want
And you'd still look for something better
And I try
To get you off my mind
[Chorus]
But you're still in my head, head, head
Always in my head, head, head (Head)
And I can't help but think about the life I'd live if I could just get over this
You're still in my head, head, head
[Outro]
(You're still in my head, head, head) In my head
(You're still in my head, head, head) Head, head
And I can't help but think about the life I'd live if I could just get over this
You're still in my head, head, head
(You're still in my head)

We work really well together [Her and Jutes]. We didn’t write a lot together on this album but he did write a song that made my album separately. He wrote it and I was like, ‘Wait, I love that,’ and he was like, ‘You can have it.’
