[Verse 1]
I took five on the way home
Called you for a little peace of mind
Was out lookin' for some healin'
But it seemed a little hard to find
No man's an island, do you not see
That I need you as you need me?
[Verse 2]
A year, month, any weekend
Is no match for my loyalty
I'm sweet jumping to your defence
Question, would you do the same for me?
[Pre-Chorus]
They say distance can make the heart grow fonder
But for you, I wonder
'Cause if I'm not by your side
Are you still on mine?
[Chorus]
I was on the way down
I've been on my knees this whole week
So when I need you most
Will you be my echo?
I was feelin' drowned out
Searchin' for some sweet reliеf
So when I need you most
Will you be my echo? (Will you bе my echo?)
[Verse 3]
You don't have to move a mountain
Just take a little weight off me
Fix up and be about it
'Cause my love is not a one-way street
[Pre-Chorus]
They say distance can make the heart grow fonder
But for you, I wonder
'Cause if I'm not by your side
Are you still on mine?
[Chorus]
I was on the way down
I've been on my knees this whole week
So when I need you most
Will you be my echo?
I was feelin' drowned out
Searchin' for some sweet relief
So when I need you most
Will you be my echo?
[Bridge]
Will you be my echo?
Will you be my echo?
Will you be my echo?
[Chorus]
I was feelin' drowned out
Searchin' for some sweet relief
So when I need you most
Will you be my echo?
[Outro]
Will you be my echo?
Will you be my echo?
Will you be my echo?
Will you be my echo?
Echo was written by Oli Bayston & Olivia Dean.
Echo was produced by Felix Joseph.
Olivia Dean released Echo on Wed Oct 21 2020.
An October 2020 Clash article quotes Dean saying:
[The track is about] the times you need an ear and support for a problem, no matter how big or small. It could be a situation with a partner, friend or family member where you don’t need a solution, you just need back up, someone to amplify you.
