Jenny Owen Youngs - Here Is A Heart lyrics

rate me

Here is a heart

Here is a heart

I made it for you so take it

Battered and braised

Grilled and sautéed

Just how you like it

Like it

You know I live to fill you up

Blood of my blood

Dripping with love

I bring you a thing you need most

Silent between supplies and machines

I hang in the corners like a ghost

You know I live to be seen through

No better way that I can see to spend all the time

while you're asleep

When holding your hands inside of mine

Mmm

I wanna be here and nowhere else

Rationing off bits of myself so I can crumble at your side

Sleep like the dead through the noise in your head

Wile monitors click and whirr and glow

I'm with you all day and I still would stay tomorrow and onward

Just this close

You know I live to keep you safe

Oh

No better way that I can see to spend all the time

while you're asleep

When holding your hands inside of mine

Mmm

I wanna be here and nowhere else

Rationing off bits of myself so I can crumble at your side

I can't explain it but I have to try

If you evaporate the seas will rise 'til they devour the sky

Here is a heart

Here is a heart

I made it for you so take it

Battered and braised

Grilled and sautéed

Just how you like it

Like it

No better way that I can see to spend all the time

while you're asleep

When holding your hands inside of mine

Mmm

I wanna be here and nowhere else

Rationing off bits of myself so I can crumble at your side
