LYRICS
Follow you all of my life
Chances I can’t leave behind
I can believe what I want
But I can’t believe what it cost
How’d I get lost
Twin to my twin to my twin
End to begin to begin
I couldn’t see what it was
Til it had swallowed me up
you’re just my luck
I can’t say what I would do
If all these stones boiled down to you
Fate is clear and hands all tied
It’s summer in your eyes
But that sun’ll never rise
Too complicated to write
Bending the shadows for light
I’m not all right
I’m not all right
Pull me back to that night
Pull my back to that night

Sunfish

LYRICS:
there’s a glow on the ripples coming downstream
the yard is a kingdom, secret to me
i don’t want anyone else to see
down in the grass watching ants from my knees
or up in the branches of the mulberry tree
i don’t want anyone following me
sundays we spend with our feet in the water
watching the sunfish flash over the stones
later at dinner I sit like a soldier
hiding inside when I’m home
out just beyond where their voices can reach
thrown from the house meant to catch up to me
but i’m drifting to sleep on a blanket of leaves
and all i can hear is the wind in the trees
sundays we spend with our feet in the water
watching the sunfish flash over the stones
later at dinner I sit like a soldier
hiding inside when I’m home
hiding inside when I’m home

Little Bird

LYRICS
Little bird, Little bird
Won’t you sing me a song
I may not know all the words
But I’ll try to sing along
Little bird, my little bird
Let ‘em talk, that’s what they do
But no amount of saying something
Ever made it true
Head up, eyes wide
All will be alright
Hold tight, stay gold
It hurts bad, I know
Take those hollow bones
Use them well, use them right
Let them carry you
Through the darkness of the night
Head up, eyes wide
All will be alright
Hold tight, stay gold
It hurts bad, I know
Little bird, little bird
Won’t you sing me a song
I may not know all the words
But I’ll try to sing along

Dungeons and Dragons

LYRICS:
Blueprints for your great escape
Stacks in the attic of video games
Shark in a jar on the sill
Breathing formaldehyde in through his gills
Evenings we spent in July
Pointing our telescope up to the sky
And when we’d say our prayers every night
We’d ask for someone to come down from the lights
And take us away, take us away
When he’d come home, full to the brim
You know what I know: there’s no talking to him
Dungeons and dragons
Dungeons and dragons
Inside the game, you’re okay
Longswords and spellcasting keeps all the bad away
And the monsters look how monsters do
Not like neighborhood kids with their hands full of rocks for you
And not like the grown ups who should be protecting you
When he’d come home, full to the brim
You know what I know: there’s no talking to him
Oh no, go hide yourself
You know there’ll be hell to pay, and you’re the one paying
But soon as you’re done, we can go back to playing
Dungeons and dragons
Broken but who knows what for
Lean in to listen for a key in the door
Now I come home, full to the brim
It’s hard to not feel like I’m some part of him
Oh no can’t hide from myself
I know there’s still hell to pay
Now I’m the one paying
if we ever got done we could go back to playing
Dungeons and dragons
Dungeons and dragons

Long Long Gone (demo)
02:23
|

|
LYRICS:
do I repeat myself
do you notice when I do
I couldn’t teach myself
not to do it like I do
I wanted to reach for you
but instead I dug my fingers into me
endlessly
I’m long long gone
pulling the garden up
we just put down in spring
lookin for what I want
in the roots of anything
didn’t feel hard enough
so I deconstructed like I always do
over you
I’m long long gone
I know you’re angry
who wouldn’t be
the way it hung between us
remember your name now
I never forgot
I said it enough
I’m long long gone

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
