Olivia In A Separate Bed
Robin Pecknold
Letra

So this is how it ends
In separate beds
A wall between us

And this is how it dies
Separate our lives
And hope it heals us

I chose the love of strangers
I chose the fickle crowd
And the woman i wagered
Won't look at me right now
(not now)

I know i've been like a house cat
Give me this, give me that
And i know i'll be okay

But beg for my attention
A word from my affection
I just stare and walk away

How can i show you
I'd do all i could do
To show you i adore you?
Olivia

And the days go by
In a supplicated style
Hand me the anodynes

Oh, olivia
I still love you
And i know i will
'til i die

And this feels like
Common madness
Why this wasted life?
Come to me

The photographer is lucky
Does he even know my name?
Does he know i'd give it all up
If i only could be here?

But i used all my chances
(and a few after that)
Now i'm floating in the ashes
Olivia

And the days go by
In a supplicated style
Hand me the anodynes

Oh, olivia
I still love you
And i know i will
'til i die

And this feels like
Common madness
Why this wasted life?
Come to me
