Here Is A Heart
Jenny Owen Youngs
Letra

here is a heart. here is a heart
i made it for you, so take it
battered and braised
grilled and saut?
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, mmmm
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
while 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
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 saut?
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
i wanna be here and nowhere else
rationing off bits of myself
so i can crumble at your side
