lyrics

Got a retainer
It doesn’t fit now
But I had teeth once
Different from these ones
I got a loaner
Out in the driveway
I lost my own car
She’s strewn cross the highway

Gimme a reason
Gimme me a footnote
Tell me I’m yours
Or tell me that I won’t
Be in the morning
When I’m up early
Telling you straight
That I meant to get dirty

Bury me slowly
I got a long way left to go
I’m feeling mostly
One hell of a pull from down below

I hid in the bathroom
Next to my brother
While I was listening
To sounds of my mother
Learning the lesson
Somebody taught him
Time out of mind
But that wheel keeps on turning

I know what you’re thinking
I know what you do
I got a lot riding on you
I prayed to God:
Don’t let me grow to be
The bottomless monster
That I have seen

Bury me slowly
I got a long way left to go
I’m feeling mostly
One hell of a pull from down below

Now I am quiet
No one can hear me
Faded to nothing
Barely a memory
But I’ll be up early
Just like I said so
Looking for reasons
Looking for footnotes

No one believes me
But I think I’m good
I think I’m worth it
And I wish you could
Pick me up right here
Speed through the stoplights
And don’t stop driving
Til we get all right

about

Jenny Owen Youngs Maine

Avalanche, Youngs’ exceptional debut for Yep Roc records, offers up an achingly beautiful exploration of loss, resilience, and growth from an artist who’s experienced more than her fair share of each in recent years. The songs are deceptively serene, layering Youngs’ infectious pop sensibilities atop lush, dreamy arrangements that often belie the swift emotional currents lurking underneath. ... more
