Rilo Kiley - Jenny, You're Barely Alive Lyrics
And its all the treasures that shine in the streetAs we drive right over themAnd its all the mornings we missed for sleepAs the sun glides over our apartmentAnd its all the subtle change in landscape and businessReminds you of your limited timeThis time youll listen to the movement of your bodyHow it keeps on despite you and it frightens youCause youre barely aliveYoure desperate in finding something else to please youYouve been searching your whole lifeSomething to mute, change, or just distract youSomething to put inside you to give the illusion of lifeCause youve always been barely aliveCause youre barely aliveCause youre barely aliveYouve always been barely aliveHave you not?And the greatest escape that you ever did makeWith your arms by your side left it up to fateAnd the coast that youve seen though youre watching them weeklyYouve cursed all perfect days as you walked awayI can hear you say, Jenny, youre barely aliveThe metal rods you put in your *****ing jaw to keep you from grinding your teeth every nightCause youre barely aliveYouve always been barely aliveCause youre barely aliveAlways been barely alive
