Here Is A Heart Lyrics - Jenny Owen Youngs

Here is a heart 

Here is a heart 

I made it for you so take it 

Battered and braised 

Grilled and sauteed 

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 

Mmm 

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 

Mmm 

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 sauteed 

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
