Rilo Kiley - Jenny, You're Barely Alive Lyrics

This songs been stuck in my head for over a decade.

you're desperate in finding something else to please you, you've been searching your whole life. something to mute, change, or just distract you. Something to put inside you to give you the illusion of life, cuz you've always been barely alive.


wow thats too relatable to my stoner gay depressed ass why does jenny know me so well

I really miss this song. It's been like 5 years since I've last listened to it

Ditto girl!!

And it's all the treasures that shine in the street
As we drive right over them
And its all the mornings we missed for sleep
As the sun glides over our apartment
And it's all the subtle change in landscape and business
Reminds you of your limited time
This time you'll listen to the movement in your body
How it keeps on despite you and it frightens you
Cause you're barely alive

You're desperate in finding something else to please you
You've been searching your whole life
Something to mute, change, or just distract you
Something to put inside you to give the illusion of life
Cause you've always been barely alive
Cause you're barely alive
Cause you're barely alive
You've always been barely alive
Have you not?

And the greatest escape that you ever did make
With your arms by your side left it up to fate
And the coast that you've seen though you're watching them weekly
You've cursed all perfect days as you walked away
I can hear you say, "Jenny, you're barely alive"

a metal rods you put in your fucking jaw to keep you from grinding your teeth at night

I really miss rilo kiley, they were the best!

Make this available for mobile, pleeaase!

Ha, Jenny Lewis is Jenny Lewis, not merely someone you can compare to another man Kara

@lysolbombs470 Okay, work on your jesting.

@lysolbombs470 He's undeniably a drunk. But really you're much whinier than he is, because you're whining about him to me and I don't wanna hear it. I don't care that you don't like him, you shouldn't care that I do.

@HKfuntime He's good but she's better than that. She is one of the best singer/songwriters all time.

Yes. YESSSS <3

I love this song so much. <3

Oh my God, she's the female Conor Oberst. <3
