Famous Jenny Lewis Quotes

“I used to think, if I could realise I'd die
Then I would be a lot nicer
Used to believe in a lot more
Now I just see straight ahead
That's not to say I don't have good times
But as for my days, I spend them waiting…”

"Science vs. Romance"
Song lyrics, Take Offs and Landings (2001)

“I had one friend in high school, recently he hung himself with string,
His note said "If livin' is the problem, well that's 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.”

Jenny Lewis

That you're bad news…”

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”

That the good seems fucking cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence”
