"Olivia, In A Separate Bed" lyrics

"Olivia, In A Separate Bed"
(originally by Robin Pecknold)

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
Or work 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
Oh, Olivia
Oh, Olivia
Come to me
