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: Written by Sufjan Stevens Background vocals: adrienne maree brown, Megan Lui, Hannah Cohen Everything else by Sufjan Stevens
