Pete Yorn - Jeannine

“Inspired by the tragic story of Jeannine Deckers, The Singing Nun, who’s #1 hit “Dominique” kept “Louie Louie” by The Kingsmen out of the top spot in 1963, “Jeannine” is a deceptively sunny song that deals with the repression of self and the hope that one day the world will understand an individual’s struggle to feel free to express who they are at their core." Pete Yorn

Lyrics:

Take me away from this place
I’ll never go again
Found a way to replace
All the things I’ve ever been
You won’t feel this way in the summer
Look behind the door and let it all in

You can rely on your friends
To get you to the end
And it will come around
Will always start again
You won’t feel this way in the summer
Look behind the door and say goodbye
It won't take it away, oh no

You won’t feel this way in the summer
Look behind the door and fill it all in
Tell me everything that was on your mind
When He left you there
And you came out to them
It wasn’t your fault that they didn’t understand
