Lyrics:
Chase away my heart and heartache
Run me over, throw me over, cast me out
Find a river running to the west wind
Just above the shoreline
You will see a cloud
Tie me to a tiny wooden raft
Burn my body, point me to the undertow
Push me off into the void at last
Watch me drift and watch me struggle
let me go... ’cause I really wanna know:
Will anybody ever love me?
For good reasons
Without grievance, not for sport
Will anybody ever love me?
In every season
Pledge allegiance to my heart
Pledge allegiance to my burning heart
Hello wildness please forgive me now
For the heartache and the misery I create
Take my suffering as I take my vow
Wash me now, anoint me
With that golden blade
Tie me to the final wooden stake
Burn my body, celebrate the afterglow
Wash away the summer sins I made
Watch me drift and
Watch me struggle, let me go
’cause I really wanna know:
Will anybody ever love me?
For good reasons
Without grievance, not for sport
Will anybody ever love me?
In every season
Pledge allegiance to my heart
Pledge allegiance to my burning heart

I can relate. "...please forgive me now/For the heartache and the misery I create."

Just two months ago I ended a relationship that meant a lot to me. It wasn't easy and I'm still grieving because I loved that person a lot. Then this song comes out making me cry and soothing my pain at the same time. It's liberating when you realize that other people go through the same fears and doubts you're having right now and Sufjan gives them voice in the most beautiful and poignant way. Thanks for putting your heart in your work :)
