Mason Jennings - Mark My Heart With Ashes Lyrics






Every morning when I'm waking up
I keep hoping that you're breaking up

I want you to be mine
I want you to be mine
I want you to be my girl

If I told you that I need you
Would you mock me? Would it matter?
If I sang you songs of heaven?
Would you let me see your wings?
If I drew it with my finger on your foggy rainy window
Would you mark my heart with ashes?
Would you press your windswept body to my shore?

Looking at your eyes is like falling through the trees
The earth above your knees
The sun it shines within me when I'm with you

Lone sailor, body found washed out to sea
I'm lying in your arms, sun shining down on me
Sun shining down on the rail yard
Hot pitch melting in the sun

I never was a boy
I never was a man
All I ever was was yours
I never was a lover, baby
I never was a friend
All I ever was was yours

From the first time that I saw you, baby
From the first time that I saw you, baby
From the first time that I saw you, I adored you

And I knew
I never was an answer, no
I never was a question, though
I never was nothing but yours

And I want you to be mine
I want you to be mine
I want you to be mine
I want you to be my girl

  28. S.... P....

    My father showed me Mason Jennings when I was younger, I couldn't really appreciate him at the time. I was still finding my place in the world and wanted to listen to other things and pretty much listened to the opposite of what my dad listened to, just rebelling. I've found beauty in his music, I couldn't find it anywhere else.

  29. A.... ....

    Anything that has Ricky Gervais in it is awesom :)

  30. J.... E....

    This song was in a movie called Ghost Town. It starred Ricky Gervais and was a pretty good movie.

  31. D.... S....

    What's Ghost Town?

    D.... S....

    I know it's been five years but being the good samaritan that I am I had to answer. It's a movie that in my opinion is great that stars Ricky Gervais and Tea Léoni.

  32. A.... ....

    'Im American

  33. A.... R....

    Perfect

  34. J.... N....

    It doesn't matter.

  35. J.... N....

    It doesn't matter.

  36. s.... ....

  37. E.... C....

    This is my favorite song and sums up my whole philosophy of life. Thanks Mr. Jennings!

  38. g.... ....

  52. 8.... ....

    @sylem11 why would it be bad!? Mason Jennings is amazing! It's bad that I only learned of him from a Jack Johnson concert. He was so amazing I've followed him ever since!

  53. L.... T....

    Ghosttown. <3

  54. s.... ....

    is it bad im 17 and love this kind of music? didnt think so now back to learning it on guitar!

  56. S.... S....

    Brushfire Records (Y)

  57. L.... G....

    @4rebel69 oh rebel 69..... yes you live in the south you the think being a "rebel" is somehow relevant and admirable, but some day you will realize that 69, is fun but still unsubstantial, and the "south" is dead the concepts are ignorant and unfulfilling (not a word but I will use it anyway). Just try for once to reach a point of knowledge that doesn't- A. Point America as the best and most promising nation. B. Not point Christianity as the one and total truth.... Go to the library a few days

  58. L.... G....

    @corndawg765 loved the film didn't know he was on there... know now... and he is sick

  59. J.... D....
