Bathwater Lyrics
I watch the bathwater drain
It's never looked quite the same
The weight comes back to my body
And I'm hopeless again
I watch the twists and the turns
Distract me from where it hurts
It's like I'm watching my life
Go past the point of return
Of return
So I switch it off
And I let it go
Coz where I hide
You'll never know
But when I'm down
You'll always know
So bathwater hear me now
As I scream out from below
I watch the sun coming up
Over the trees and rooftops
It's like it's piercing the sky
I wish it all could just stop
So I could replay the scene
And live like life is a dream
I'm finding this out the hard way
Nothing's quite what it seems
What it seems
(Woah) As I scream out from below
I watch the bathwater drain
It's never looked quite the same
The weight comes back to my body
It's never looked quite the same
The weight comes back to my body
And I'm hopeless again
I watch the twists and the turns
Distract me from where it hurts
It's like I'm watching my life
Go past the point of return
Of return
And I let it go
Coz where I hide
You'll never know
But when I'm down
You'll always know
So bathwater hear me now
As I scream out from below
Over the trees and rooftops
It's like it's piercing the sky
I wish it all could just stop
So I could replay the scene
And live like life is a dream
I'm finding this out the hard way
Nothing's quite what it seems
What it seems
It's never looked quite the same
The weight comes back to my body

Bathwater is a metaphor for sadness and being overcome with it. As the bathwater drains, she is drained of the negative emotions and recovers from the crippling depression.
This whole album, in Jenna's words, is "about a relationship I had that went sour due to many reasons, and I felt so helpless to stop it."
