lyrics

I’ve been up, up all night
I’ve been pacing, lost and tongue-tied
What’s the word to reveal
All the unsaid things I feel
But I keep quiet, can’t even try it

If you knew, knew the truth
Where I go at night without you
If you saw, saw the scars
And heard all the ugly parts
Would you still want me? How it haunts me

Darling, whenever I try to tell you
My voice gets caught
I’ve been breaking down doors to reach you
But the words stay locked

But we need to talk
We need to talk
We need to talk
We need to talk

When I woke, woke today
My heart was racing from a dream where
I was whole, wholly yours
No more secrets, no more trapdoors
Underneath me to defeat me

If I cut out my heart
Is it one more ugly part
Or if it’s out in the light
I can’t say for sure but it might
Just reveal me, oh the real me

Darling, whenever I try to tell you
My voice gets caught
I’ve been breaking down doors to reach you
But the words stay locked

But we need to talk
We need to talk
We need to talk
We need to talk

Listen: Don’t listen to me
When I’m fishing for what I might mean
Let my actions speak for me
Free me, let’s dream of a dream
Where it’s easy to say what we mean
Not these empty words
Where everything hurts
And all I can do is scream

Darling, whenever I try to tell you
My voice gets caught
I’ve been breaking down doors to reach you
But the words stay locked

But we need to talk
We need to talk
We need to talk
We need to talk

So we’re here, hear me out
Here’s the part that I’ve left out
I’m gonna tell you—
Okay, I’m gonna tell you—

AN UNWAVERING BAND OF LIGHT

Great vocal style and a universal sound that can capture even the most particular ear. Not something I would normally gravitate toward, but this album is fantastic. Tim Heffley

Night Shift
by Jenny Owen Youngs

supported by 11 fans who also own “Hush [the Post-Princess Scream mix] (feat. The One AM Radio)”

Nostalgia, sadness, longing. The whole album feels like autumn: the first crisp mornings, the smell in the air, driving home late on the highway with your window open. It's chilly, but you don't mind. The album encapsulates how you feel as a 20-something reflecting on your childhood, the people you knew, your hometown, longing for a feeling you won't have again. I could listen to this album on repeat forever. perhapsitsnate
