    Lyrics:
    My love, I’ve lost my faith in everything Tell me you love me anyway
    Tell me you love me
    My love, I feel myself unraveling
    Tell me you love me anyway
    Tell me you love me
    My love, I feel the darkness on my back Something inside me like a wave
    Tell me you love me
    Right now I could use a change of heart
    Or a kiss before everything falls apart
    Can you tell me this love will last forever?
    And as the world turns making such a mess
    What’s the point of it when everything’s dispossessed?
    Can we carry this love across the desert?
    My love, I wish I was a photograph Perfect and lovely in a frame
    Tell me you love me
    My love, my life could be an epitaph Something to write upon my grave Tell me you love me
    Right now I could use a change of plans
    When it all falls, what’s the use of open hands? Can you tell me this love will last forever?
    And as the world burns breathing in the blight What’s the point of it if morning turns into night? Can we carry this love? It’s now or never
    I’m gonna love you. I’m gonna love you every day.
    Credits:
    Sufjan Stevens: drums and percussion, Tempest, Prophet 08, Prophet 6, electric guitar, piano, vocals Casey Foubert: bass guitar
    James McAlister: additional drums and percussion*

    Sublime desperation - a song with meaningful, profound lyrics that really hit you in the guts. So seldom these days that you get an unpretentious, individual song that doesn't - in essence - sound like most of the other songs currently on playlists. There can only be ONE Sufjan Stevens - and you're listening to him. Savour the flavour . . .

      I'm with you on this one Lorena, without a doubt.
      All said, for me I'm going with the old school romantic thing (to a degree). He's anxious and a little emotionally bushwhacked for whatever reason, and he seeks counsel from a loved one whoever they may be.
      That's the beautiful thing about Sufjan's work; you can take his songs as they are on the surface or choose to find your own meaning, and things still check out :)

    I haven't even listened to the songs that come after this because I just can't get passed this song for now. I would be comparing every other song to this and not like them if they don't blow me away like this one did. I think that would be unfair towards the album as this is legitimately one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard
