Water Under the Bridge is an unreleased song by Marina Diamandis, intended for her fourth studio album, LOVE + FEAR.
Background[]
The metadata of the original leaked file reveals the song was encoded in iTunes 12.5.5.5.[3] Assuming the software was up to date, this would mean the track was recorded sometime between January 23, and March 21, 2017[4]
In 2019, Marina described being "almost certain" that she was going to give You and Karma to other artists, and it wasn't until stripping them down to piano tracks and subsequently getting them re-produced after her break, that she "fell back in love" with them.[5]
This explains why there are two studio versions of Water Under The Bridge. It may also indicate that this song was a serious contender for the album's original tracklist.
The existence of a version with no verses bounced in 2019 called "for Jillian" may suggest Water Under the Bridge was considered for Marina's initial idea for Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land, a female collaborative album. BANKS' first name is Jillian.
Speculation[]
When the studio versions of the songs leaked, the 2017 version was reportedly produced by Noah Breakfast.[6][unreliable source]
In April 2017, a blog listed various producers that Marina was reportedly working with,[7] whilst Noah appears on that list, so do a few other producers that are not attributed to any other tracks.

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
We could talk for hours
But nothing’s gonna change
Guess we’re different people
Living life in different lanes
[Verse 2]
You say you wanna meet
Read your sorrows like a script
I’m wishing you the best
Don’t make it more than what it is
[Chorus]
It’s water under the bridge
Why can’t you get over it?
Ought to, but you just can’t quit
Why can’t you get over
[Post-Chorus]
Get over it
Get over it
It’s water under the bridge
It’s water under the bridge
[Verse 3]
Party in the pain
I can see it in your eyes
A healthy kind of insane
Like it when you’re victimised
[Verse 4]
Say you cry yourself to sleep
Think about it all the time
But when you talk about me
What are you tryna justify?
[Chorus]
It’s water under the bridge
Why can’t you get over it?
Ought to, but you just can’t quit
Why can’t you get over
[Post-Chorus]
Get over it
Get over it
It’s water under the bridge
It’s water under the bridge
Ah, ah (Over it, over it)
Ooh, ooh (Over it, over it)
Ah, ah (Over it, over it)
Ooh, ooh (Over it, over it)
[Bridge]
Hope you never knew me at all
Now you cry into a waterfall
My eyes, my eyes are dry
Hope you never knew me at all
Now you cry into a waterfall
My eyes, my eyes are dry
[Chorus]
It’s water under the bridge
Why can’t you get over it?
Ought to, but you just can’t quit
Why can’t you get over
[Post-Chorus]
Get over it
Get over it
It’s water under the bridge
It’s water under the bridge
[Outro]
Ah, ah
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
We could talk for hours
But nothing’s gonna change
Guess we’re different people
Living life in different lanes
[Verse 2]
You say you wanna meet
Read your sorrows like a script
I’m wishing you the best
Don’t make it more than what it is
[Chorus]
It’s water under the bridge
Why can’t you get over it?
Ought to, but you just can’t quit
Why can’t you get over it?
[Post-Chorus]
Get over it
Get over it
It’s water under the bridge
It’s water under the bridge
[Verse 3]
Party in the pain
I can see it in your eyes
A healthy kind of insane
Like it when you’re victimised
[Verse 4]
Say you cry yourself to sleep
Think about it all the time
But when you talk about me
What are you tryna justify?
[Chorus]
It’s water under the bridge
Why can’t you get over it?
Ought to, but you just can’t quit
Why can’t you get over it?
[Post-Chorus]
Get over it
Get over it
It’s water under the bridge
It’s water under the bridge
[Bridge]
Hope you never knew me at all
Now you cry into a waterfall
My eyes, my eyes are dry
Hope you never knew me at all
Now you cry into a waterfall
My eyes, my eyes are dry
[Chorus]
It’s water under the bridge
Why can’t you get over it?
Ought to, but you just can’t quit
Why can’t you get over it?
[Post-Chorus]
Get over it
Get over it
It’s water under the bridge
It’s water under the bridge
