VAMPIRE WEEKNIGHT
I don’t wanna think about you but I do
I don’t wanna think about you but I do I do I do
pour another finger out or maybe two
cause I don’t wanna drink without you but I do, I do
all night I’m suspended animation
watch the palm trees out the window all turn black
sleeplessly I’m paralyzed and waiting
will you come back
I don’t wanna think about you but I do
I don’t wanna think about you but I do I do I do
pour another finger out or maybe two
cause I don’t wanna drink without you but I do, I do
pacing like a bobcat in the kitchen
or up the stairs just solitaire-ing in my room
preacher’s on the late-night television
saying “...soon.”
I don’t wanna think about you but I do
I don’t wanna think about you but I do I do I do
pour another finger out or maybe two
cause I don’t wanna drink without you but I do, I do
asking every empty room what you’d say
bloodless in the bathroom mirror, oh my god
just tryna make it through another tuesday
or maybe not
so I spend every evening alone
just a ghost by the light of my phone
with your name in my throat I swallow
I swallow
I don’t wanna think about you but I do
I don’t wanna think about you but I do I do I do
I don’t wanna think about you but I do
I don’t wanna think about you but I do, I do

LIVING ROOM
down in your living room
tv light glowin blue
I still remember you
a static silhouette
may to november it
freeze frame forever it
roll me a cigarette
my mom is coming soon
I was only out for half the night
said call me when you make it home all right
dreaming of a day you’d never see
we were gonna have it all eventually
soco and vicodin
shit talk your brother’s friends
swimmin in the shallow end
not much else to do
last thing I ever got from you
was confirmation of the awful truth
no matter how you stumble through
we all go underground
I was only out for half the night
said call me when you make it home all right
dreaming of a day you’d never see
we were gonna have it all eventually
down at the honeydew
there’s someone that looks just like you
except his eyes are blue
haven’t been back since
how do you put the pieces in their place
when everything you want just goes away
dreaming of a day you’ll never see
we were gonna have it all eventually

DREAMING ON THE BUS
I was dreaming on the bus
can’t remember where I was
sun was flashing through the trees
you were right there next to me
I reached out to touch your skin
and like a light that’s flickering
you were there and then you were gone
in and out and on and on
when I wake up the engine’s cold
and everybody else is long long gone
if being awake means being alone then
I will sleep through everything
pull me down, I need to see your face again
won’t wake up for anything
keep me here, keep me here
keep me dreaming so I know I won’t forget
floodlights in the parking lot
I remembered I forgot
how the doorway held you in
last words falling off your lips
haze that settles in my head
makes you half a silhouette
I’m ear to pavement, listening
to hear your whisper on the wind
echoes humming through my brain
of what you might’ve said and what that means
if being awake means more of the same then
I will sleep through everything
pull me down, I need to see your face again
won’t wake up for anything
keep me here, keep me here
keep me dreaming so I know I won’t forget
the deeper down I chase you there
the less I want to come back up for air
I will sleep through everything
pull me down, I need to see your face again
won’t wake up for anything
keep me here, keep me here
keep me dreaming so I know I won’t forget

GRAVITRON
lookin outside
waiting for your flashlight
to come out of the trees
you're here to set me free
smell of the fresh cut grass
pocket of saved-up cash
following white string lights
ride on gravitron
spin me back to where I'm from
ride all summer long
burn it up until it's gone
til it's gone
it's a good night for good kids
stealing kisses, sharing cigarettes
hold on to my hand
don't look down, we’re going round again
strawberry lemonade
promises made to break
under the white string lights
ride on gravitron
spin me back to where I'm from
ride all summer long
burn it up until it's gone
til it's gone
mmm mmm mmm
gravity will hold us
as we’re holding on for life
and we’re racing to get older
hold on gravitron
spin me back to where I'm from
ride all summer long
burn it up until it's gone
til it's gone

DREAM WAS ABOUT
you never told me what that dream was about
and I keep trying but I can’t shake it out
you know you know you know, you know you know you know
a trail of bodies but I can’t seem to find
someone to fill the space that you left behind
you know you know you know, you know you know you know
you’re the rafter I been hanging from, you know
I can’t live without it
how’d you let it go
I’m so beat up about it
everybody knows
you never told me what that dream was about
been digging everywhere the yard is a mess
I know it’s here somewhere, I know it’s here somewhere
shovel me down give me whatever’s gonna hurt less
fistful of dirt, I’m coming back up to the surface
you know you know, you know you know you know
you’re the brick wall I been banging on, you know
I can’t live without it
how’d you let it go
I’m so beat up about it
everybody knows
you never told me what that dream was about
(can’t go can’t go can’t go)
you never told me what that dream was about
(say no say no say no)
you’re the rafter I been hanging from
you’re the brick wall I been banging on
I can’t live without it
how’d you let it go
I’m so beat up about it
everybody knows

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
