Jenny Owen Youngs - Here Is A Heart
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
You know I live to fill you up
Blood of my blood
Dripping with love
I ll bring you the thing
you need most
Silent between
supplies and machine
I ll 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
I want to 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
My monitors click
and whir and glow
I m with you all day
and also we would stay
Tomorrow and onward just this close
You know I live to keep you safe
No better way that I can see
