Rest Your Head Lyrics
Come on now rest your head
And I’ll protect you
You’ve been running too fast
Running for fear
You’ve gotta stop sometime soon
Pushing through barriers and pushing through seas
And the witch will come for you
You’ve been running up hills and running too slow
But just keep on running, keep on running
Look what you find, look what you find
Come on and rest your head
And I will protect you
Come now, come on and rest your head
You’ve gotta stop sometime soon
Your power’s so strong and if you don’t know why
There’s deeper knowing in that big old sky
Could say you're in the wrong place at the right time
But don't keep on running, keep on running
Stick to the spot
Come on and rest your head
And I will protect you
Come now, come on and rest your head
You’ve gotta stop sometime soon
And I’ll protect you
You’ve been running too fast
Running for fear
You’ve gotta stop sometime soon
And the witch will come for you
You’ve been running up hills and running too slow
But just keep on running, keep on running
Look what you find, look what you find
And I will protect you
Come now, come on and rest your head
You’ve gotta stop sometime soon
There’s deeper knowing in that big old sky
Could say you're in the wrong place at the right time
But don't keep on running, keep on running
Stick to the spot
And I will protect you
Come now, come on and rest your head
You’ve gotta stop sometime soon

Natasha explained the song to Qthemusic: "I was working with Dan Carey on the beats and stuff. Rest Your Head has got this dubby vibe to the low notes with me playing some piano for real over the top. We were listening to the Jamie xx/ Gil Scott Heron album and I was also thinking about some 90s dance music. I like to combine the electronic with organic things and give them a bit of humanity. I've got no idea where I'll go next - I've got absolutely nothing. It's like when you've just had a baby and you're breastfeeding. I don't want to think about another baby right now!"
