Here Is A Heart
Jenny Owen Youngs
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 ll bring you the thing
You need most
Silence 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
Ah..
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
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 brazed
Grilled and sautéed
Just how you like it
Right there...
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..
