    Lyrics:
    Chase away my heart and heartache
    Run me over, throw me over, cast me out
    Find a river running to the west wind
    Just above the shoreline
    You will see a cloud
    Tie me to a tiny wooden raft
    Burn my body, point me to the undertow
    Push me off into the void at last
    Watch me drift and watch me struggle
    let me go... ’cause I really wanna know:
    Will anybody ever love me?
    For good reasons
    Without grievance, not for sport
    Will anybody ever love me?
    In every season
    Pledge allegiance to my heart
    Pledge allegiance to my burning heart
    Hello wildness please forgive me now
    For the heartache and the misery I create
    Take my suffering as I take my vow
    Wash me now, anoint me
    With that golden blade
    Tie me to the final wooden stake
    Burn my body, celebrate the afterglow
    Wash away the summer sins I made
    Watch me drift and
    Watch me struggle, let me go
    ’cause I really wanna know:
    Will anybody ever love me?
    For good reasons
    Without grievance, not for sport
    Will anybody ever love me?
    In every season
    Pledge allegiance to my heart
    Pledge allegiance to my burning heart
    Credits:
    All instruments and lead vocal by Sufjan Stevens.

    Just two months ago I ended a relationship that meant a lot to me. It wasn't easy and I'm still grieving because I loved that person a lot. Then this song comes out making me cry and soothing my pain at the same time. It's liberating when you realize that other people go through the same fears and doubts you're having right now and Sufjan gives them voice in the most beautiful and poignant way. Thanks for putting your heart in your work :)

    The answer at this question is: no.
    Love is a fraudulous concept created to justify most of the bs we must go through our existence.
    Exactly like god.
    Anyway, if it inspires talented people like Sir Stevens to create beautifull music, then: this is love, and is far enough.
    What we, humans, are craving so much, is the spirit of our ancestral tribes.
    This sick sad world was not made for sociable, sensitive primates like us, but for robots.
    Edit: I wrote this comment while I was very depressed and suicidal. I dont know if love really exists, but I am starting to hoping it. My bad.
    My answer at this question has changed: I hope it for all of us.
