Avril Ramona Lavigne (pronunciation: /ˈævrɨl ləˈviːn/; AV-ril lə-VEEN; born 27 September 1984) is a Canadian singer-songwriter. She was born in Belleville, Ontario, but spent most of her youth in the small town of Napanee. By the age of 15, she had appeared on stage with Shania Twain; by 16, she had signed a two-album recording contract with Arista Records worth more than $2 million. In 2002, when she was 17 years old, Lavigne broke onto the music scene with her debut album Let Go.
Let Go made Lavigne the youngest female soloist to reach No. 1 in the UK, and the album was certified four-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. By 2009, over 16 million copies had been sold worldwide. Her breakthrough single, "Complicated", peaked at No. 1 in many countries around the world, as did the album Let Go. Her second album, Under My Skin, was released in 2004 and was her first album to peak at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, eventually selling more than 10 million copies worldwide. The Best Damn Thing, Lavigne’s third album, was released in 2007, becoming her third No. 1 album in the UK Albums Chart and featuring her first U.S. Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single, "Girlfriend". Lavigne has scored six number-one singles worldwide, including "Complicated", "Sk8er Boi", "I'm with You", "My Happy Ending", "Nobody's Home", and "Girlfriend". With more than 30 million copies of her albums sold worldwide, Lavigne is one of the top-selling artists releasing albums in the U.S., with over 10.25 million copies certified by the RIAA. Her fourth studio album, Goodbye Lullaby, was released in March 2011. Goodbye Lullaby gave Lavigne her fourth top 10 album on the U.S. Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart and her third No. 1 album in both Japan and Australia. Three months after the release of Goodbye Lullaby, Lavigne began work on her fifth album, which will be released on Epic Records following her departure from RCA Records.
Hopelessly haunting, silently calling
Desires that just won't fade
Race through my brain
Left with the memory, hidden inside,
This dark
And lonely place
That love will never find
Than you satisfy me, like a cool desert rain
Breathing life into long forgotten dream
No I can't walk away
I'm strung out cause I need
But oh, you satisfy me
Passion Searching, forever yearning
Fire that won't be tamed
Shows no mercy
Secretly knowing, helplessly hoping
For a life that could never be
No we don't stand a chance
But you satisfy me and
I'm drawn to the flame
Breathing life, into my frozen dreams
This could be the beginning
Or the end of the life I lead
But oh, how you satisfy me
Oh satisfy me
Yeah, you satisfy me
like a cool desert rain
Breathing life into long forgotten dream
No I can't walk away
I'm strung out cause I need
But oh, you satisfy me
And I'm drawn to the flame
Breathing life, into my frozen dreams
This could be the beginning
Or the end of the life I lead
