Jenny Lewis

"Ive had enough of breakdowns and diagrams— Judging from picture books, apparently Heaven is a partly cloudy place."

"When you jump up the Earth wants you back."

"I used to think, if I could realise Id die Then I would be a lot nicer Used to believe in a lot more Now I just see straight ahead Thats not to say I dont have good times But as for my days, I spend them waiting..."

"Theres blood in my mouth Cause Ive been biting my tongue all week I keep on talking trash But I never say anything And the talking leads to touching And the touching leads to sex And then there is no mystery left"

"Its all of the good that wont come out of us and how eventually our hands will just turn to dust, if we keep shaking them standing here on this frozen lake."

"And sometimes when youre on Youre really fucking on And your friends they sing along And they love you But the lows are so extreme That the good seems fucking cheap And it teases you for weeks in its absence"

"And its bad news, I dont blame you I do the same thing, I get lonely too And youre bad news, my friends tell me to leave you That youre bad news..."

"I read with every broken heart We should become more adventurous"

"I had one friend in high school, recently he hung himself with string, His note said "If livin is the problem, well thats just baffling." And at the wake I waited around to see my ex-first love, And I barely recognized her but I knew exactly what she was thinkin of .We sat quietly in the corner, whisperin close about loss, And I remembered why I loved her and I asked her why I drove her off."

"And youre not happy but youre funny and Im tripping over my joy. I just keep on gettin up again."

"Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things And crawl back into bed to dream of a time When your heart was open wide and you love things just because Like the sick and dying"

"I do this thing where I think Im real sick but I wont go to the doctor to find out about it cause they make you stay real still in a real small space as they chart up your insides and put them on display. Theyd see all of it, all of me, all of it; All the good that wont come out of me..."
