lyrics

YOUR APARTMENT

Take me back to your apartment so I'll see if I’m correct
About where you keep your heart, love, cause I'm starting to suspect
That it's chained up in your basement inside an oaken chest
That's padlocked up to heaven to keep out what comes next

Oh I want to be the girl who makes you try
To do the thing you haven't done oh why
Is it so hard to stay in love
I just want to be good enough
For you

And how
I’m so into you now that I can't see out
Show me how to give you what you'll never doubt
All I want is to be what you cannot live without

I will meet you on your front porch, yeah I’ll sit out on the stair
However long it takes for you to find me waiting there
Cause I know where you belong, love, yes how you're meant to be
And I'm not going anywhere until you leave with me

Oh I want to be the girl who makes you try
To do the thing you haven't done oh why
Is it so hard to stay in love
I just want to be good enough
For you

And how
I’m so into you now that I can't see out
Show me how to give you what you'll never doubt
All I want is to be what you cannot live without

Now I don't need no guarantee
Just make a little room for me
Inside your life somehow

Oh I want to be the girl who makes you try
To do the thing you haven't done
Oh I want to be the girl who makes you try
To do the thing you haven't done oh why
Is it so hard to stay in love
I just want to be good enough
For you

And how
I’m so into you now that I can't see out
Show me how to give you what you'll never doubt
All I want is to be what you cannot live without

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
