Adrianne Lenker - A Love of Some Kind

Hello, look, I can't be sure
But I think I’ve seen you
Maybe once or twice before
Either way I need you

Will you stay?
Nothing much in our way
And the sky is always bending
And I hate pretending like I'm doing fine
Would you mind?
I could use a love of some kind

I've read the books, I’ve tried it all
I've lived behind a curtain
And maybe life is protocol
But I still feel uncertain

Every day I get lost in the gray
Where the light is ever vying
And it finds me trying
To find my will and be still
And let go of my heart to fill

I know we're strangers, so it's okay, you don't have to say it
Strange is better anyways and I think that we can make it
I don't have much, but what I've got is something I can give
And I've found that on your own is no good way to live

So what do you say?
Nothing much in our way
And the world is always turning
And the light is yearning
It’ll be just fine
Would you mind?

I could use a heart
I could use a home
I could use a love of some kind
