in my head i found you there and
running around and following me
but you don't, oh, dare, now
but i find that i have, now
more then i ever wanted to

so maybe thomas jefferson
wasn't born in your backyard
like you have said and
maybe i'm just the horizon you run to when
she has left you there, you, are
here in my head
and running around and calling me
"come back i'll show you the roses
that brush off the snow
and open their petals again and again"
and you know that
apple green ice cream
can melt in your hands
i can't, so...

i held your hand at the fair
and even forgot what time it was
and even thomas jefferson
wasn't born in your backyard
like you have said and
maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
when she has left
you and me here
alone on the floor
you're counting my feathers
as the bells toll
you see the bow and the belt
and the girl from the south
all favorites of mine
you know them all well
and spring brings fresh little puddles
that makes it all clear
makes it all...
hey, do you know
hey, do you know
what this is doing to me?
oh, here...
here...
here. in my head

The studio version of Here. In My Head appears on the UK Crucify (Part 1) single while a live version of the song is on the UK Past The Mission (Part 2) single from Bristol March 7, 1994.

"Here. In My Head was written after the album was way out. I would have held it for Under The Pink - I was gonna hold it, because I was writing it just when I started writing Pretty Good Year, and should have done that."
-- Tori; Beat Magazine, July 14, 1994

"Do you sometimes just dream. And you think your dreams are what you're really living, but you're really not. That's like my life all the time. I'm always in this dream going 'Wow, this is really happening!'. And it's like, 'No Tori, it isn't, this is just all in your mind.' And this song came from that place, it's like all in my mind. I think I write better when I'm all in my mind, so in a way it's kind of good that I live in my dreams than it is anyway...(trails off)"

"This song got me in alot of trouble. So I only played it in certain places because many arguments happen over this song. It was bad."
-- Tori; Seattle, WA 8/29/92, Me and a Piano

�In England, every time you release a single you have an opportunity to put down songs you�ve never recorded. In the beginning, it was like, �Oh, wow, great.� Now it�s like I have to do it because I�ve been known for that. If I don�t put on a b-side people write me really nasty letters. Really. My hardcore fans, their favorite stuff is my b-sides. The big faves are Here. In My Head and Upside Down.�
