Jenny Owen Youngs - What Beats Within lyrics

rate me

Everyday

The same mistake

The pieces don't fit

How I guess

Worn so thin and caving in

Frozen between a no and yes

I'm sliding for some time

Ripping in two

The memory planted

I'm just what grew

You come to find me

A mess at your door

Arms under elbows as I hit the floor

I mean to tell you just what I've done

How could you choose me when I've just begun

Don't know what I'll be when morning comes

Every night

The sheets pulled tight

I'm sinking before I begin

Silent as the light goes black

And digging to see what beats within

I'm sliding for some time

Ripping in two

A mountain of ashes

I'm just like you

You come to find me

A mess at your door

Arms under elbows as I hit the floor

I mean to tell you just what I've done

How could you choose me when I've just begun

Don't know what I'll be when morning comes
