lyrics

Broken but not anymore
Ripped up on the living room floor
I’m done making a mess
When we undress

There’s a mark on your body
Where the knife went in
And I can’t get around it
And I won’t forget
That I need what I wanted
And it all begins
At the place on your body
Where the knife went knife went in

Hold me, hold me close
You’re the only one who knows
You’re the only one I need
So keep holding onto me

Your lungs fill, then empty again
It’s quiet in the big hotel bed
Birds come singing their song
We sing along

There’s a mark on my body
Where the knife went in
Like a map to the memory
Of who I’ve been
Can’t erase what I started
When I pulled you in
To the place on my body
Where the knife went knife went in

Hold me, hold me close
You’re the only one who knows
You’re the only one I need
So keep holding onto me

You’re the light you’re the lantern
And you shine right through
I don’t know why you love me
But thank God you do
All I need’s what I wanted
And it all begins
At the place on your body
Where the knife went knife went in

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
