[Verse 1]
To forget you is to hide
There is still so much left to recover
If only we could start again
Pretending we don't know each other
I could not come back the same
This city's changed, it's not what it was
Back when you loved me
Walking down that path we made
When we thought what we had was such a good thing
[Chorus]
Hiding out inside my head
It's me again, it's no surprise
I'm on my own now
Every time I turn to you
I see the past, it's all that lasts
And all I know how
Learn to look me in the eyes
Yet I still don't feel it's me you're facing
Say your heart is always mine
What about old times? You can't erase them
[Verse 2]
Wishing we could only find one another
All we've done here is blind one another
Hate can't live in this heart here forever
Have to learn how to make it together
The way you scream like something else is a matter
The way you scream like something else is a matter

[Verse 3]
Baby, I was there and I held him

Took me into his arms
Told me that I was the reason
Told me that I was the woman
He'd always be losing, always be dreaming
[Refrain]
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Dream on
[Outro]
You say you love
Every single part
What about my dreams?
What about the heart?
Trouble from the start
Trouble with the heart
Oh, trouble with the heart

In a press release from Jagjaguwar, Angel Olsen said:
“Lark” is a song that took many years to finish. The disjointed feelings and verses of this song began to make sense as a way for me to exercise a kind of journey through grieving, a kind of personal struggle. The message of the song developed a...
Lark is a lot of different songs in one. The original demo of that song still speaks to me personally the most, because it’s very free-form. It’s an example of the writing process for me, and it’s very, very cinematic. I’m not saying that to be pretentious. I think of things visually, which is why I...
