To be alone with you- Sufjan Stevens

Filed under: Just Words, Videos, Music



I’d swim across lake Michigan
I’d sell my shoes
I’d give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room

To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you

You gave your body to the lonely
They took your clothes
You gave up a wife and a family
You gave your goals

To be alone with me
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
You went up on a tree

To be alone with me you went up on the tree

I’ll never know the man who loved me

I think this song is beautiful. And I’ve been playing it on loop since yesterday on my iPod.

p/s: This song is about Jesus according to some people who commented. No, I’m no Christian, I just find this song really soothing and it’s applicable to so many feelings that people might have about belief and faith and love and friendship.
