"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 wont 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 Pete Yorn/Boyletown Music (ascap)
