lyrics

PIRATES

We could be pirates or go somewhere private
I don’t wanna make a scene I just wanna leave
And head back to your place cause I got a roommate
And he don’t wanna hear or see what you’re doing to me

I’ll keep coming back
You don’t make me better but you don’t make me worse
I’ll keep coming back
Numb’s no good
But it sure beats the hurt

Can’t say what’s inside me or when you might find me
Lying with my face down in the dirt like I never learned how
To stand on my own feet or make a recovery
If there is a right time darling well it’s never been now

I’ll keep coming back
You don’t make me better but you don’t make me worse
I’ll keep coming back
Numb’s no good
But it sure beats the hurt

What you don’t know can’t do no damage
What you can’t see won’t be the thing
That digs its teeth in

So pull to the shoulder tell me it’s over
Saying that you’re oh so glad we met but you’d rather just stop now than regret
Said you can’t be the one now to clean all my wounds out
Bandages and nice neat bows? Hell no - you have to just go

I’ll keep coming back
You don’t make me better but you don’t make me worse
I’ll keep coming back
Numb’s no good
But it sure beats the hurt

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
