Angel Olsen - If It's Alive, It Will lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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
