If It's Alive, It Will - Angel Olsen

my friend you are unique but not always

some stranger in the well has surely felt your pain

someone you’ve never met might even own your name

and said all the things you’ve once said

your thoughts exist 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 where 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 as you 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

and i guess no one ever really is the only one

my friend if it’s alive, it will do anything

and if it’s strong 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

i am aware i’m not the one who’s worth most of your time

i am not well and you could be surprised at what you find

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

and i guess no one ever really is the only one

how dare you think you are the only one

how do you think you are the only one

i used to think i was the only one

but i’ve learned quite a few things since then

and i guess no one ever really is the only one
