"Lark" lyrics

"Lark"

To forget you is to hide
There is still so much left to recover
If only we could start again
Pretending we don't know each other
I could not come back the same
This city's changed, it's not what it was
Back when you loved me
Walking down that path we made
When we thought what we had was such a good thing

Hiding out inside my head
It's me again, it's no surprise
I'm on my own now
Every time I turn to you
I see the past, it's all that lasts
And all I know how
Learn to look me in the eyes
Yet I still don't feel it's me you're facing
Say your heart is always mine
What about old times? You can't erase them

Wishing we could only find one another
All we've done here is blind one another
Hate can't live in this heart here forever
Have to learn how to make it together
The way you scream like something else is a matter
The way you scream like something else is a matter
The way you scream like something else is a...

Baby, I was there and I held him
I was there, and he put it all on me
Baby, I was there and I held him
Right there, where no one else could see
Took me into his arms
Told me that I was the reason
Told me that I was the woman
He'd always be losing, always be dreaming

Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Dream on

You say you love
Every single part
What about my dreams?
What about the heart?
Trouble from the start
Trouble with the heart
Oh, trouble with the heart

"Lark" is the second single and the opening track released from the album "All Mirrors".
Angel Olsen explained this song by saying, "'Lark' is a song that took many years to finish. The disjointed feelings and verses of this song began to make sense as a way for me to exercise a kind of journey through grieving, a kind of personal struggle."
The music video for this track was published on the 12th of September 2019. The clip was filmed in Asheville and Outer Banks in North Carolina. Ashley Connor, who directed the video, revealed, "'Lark' is the cathartic release we all ask for but so rarely get, an anthem to scream on the tops of hills or in the back of a truck or just in the privacy of our own home."
