If It's Alive, It Will - Angel Olsen
My friend, you are unique but not always
Some stranger you don't know has surely felt your pain
Some stranger out there might even own your name
And say all the things that you said
Your thoughts existing in someone else's head
It's true you are one of my favorite books to read
I have to thank you now
You've changed the way I think
And with each page I turn, there you are
And with each word I read
Rings true in my heart
While I was waiting
I found something I was missing
Might not have been a man, but well
We still could live on wishing
Please don't confuse me
With your devastating stare-downs
I'll hold your mirror
All you have to do is turn around
So you can see the face you make
When are giving out your soul
Are you the only one who doesn't already know?
I used to think I was the only one
I used to think I was the only one
I used to think I was the only one
But I've learned quite a few things since then
I've learned that no one really is the only one
My friend, if it's alive, it will do anything
And if it's strong as well, believe it will go there
And if it's full of love, know it is capable of
Emptying itself out at any point at all
Just know the height you reach is the distance you could fall
Know your own heart well
It's the one that's worth most of your time
Know your own heart well
You could be surprised at what you find
My friend, you are unique but not always
Some stranger out there has surely felt your pain
Some stranger you don't know might even own your name
Has said all the things that you said
Thoughts existing in someone else's head
I used to think I was the only one
I used to think I was the only one
I used to think I was the only one
But I've learned quite a few things since then
I've learned that no one ever really is the only one
