According to Merge, at their initial studio session the two “were immediately struck by one another’s talents and found an instant rapport". During a conversation about their shared love of old records, Zooey let slip that she wrote her own songs, which she recorded alone at home on her computer. Somewhat shy about sharing these musical morsels, she was eventually persuaded to send them to M. Ward. He was instantly impressed, and they soon reconvened at his studio in Portland to begin work. Recorded over a period of several months, between acting work (She) and touring commitments (Him), the pair found time to bring Zooey’s fledgling songs to gorgeous fruition

Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?
by She & Him
Why do you let me stay here?
All by myself
Why don't you come and play here
I'm just sitting on the shelf
Why don't you sit right down and stay a while
We like the same things and I like your style
It's not a secret, why do you keep it?
I'm just sitting on the shelf
I got to get your presence
Let's make it known
I think you're just so pleasant
I would like you for my own
Why don't you sit right down and make me smile
You make me feel like I am just a child
Why do you end it?
Just give me credit
I'm just sitting on the shelf
