Afraid of Nothing Lyrics

You told me the day
That you show me your face
We'd be in trouble for a long time

I can't wait
'Til we're afraid
Of nothing
I can't wait
'Til we hide
From nothing
Nothing
And you decide
You throw me a lame "wait sh*t out"
You're a little late
I need you
To be Afraid of Nothing

Turning my way
You show me your face
We've known each other for a long time

I can't wait
'Til we're afraid
Of nothing
I can't wait
'Til we hide
From nothing
Nothing
And you decide
You throw me a lame "wait sh*t out"
You're a little late
I need you
To be afraid of nothing

I need you
To be afraid of nothing

Afraid of Nothing

Sharon Van Etten and Christian, a barman and DJ, decided to commit to each other at the beginning of the touring cycle for the singer's 2012 album Tramp. This followed seven years of drifting in and out of each other's lives. Van Etten told NME they "weren't ready to be together," but on this song, she sings about knowing that there would be, "trouble for a long time" from the moment they met.

Nothing Will Change Lyrics

Maybe something will change
Maybe something will change

Remember when you saw me on the street
And then you looked in my eyes?
You helped me with the tire change
It had been a while and I had thought that you'd forgotten about me
I never could have forgotten you

I will reach you
I will reach you
I will meet you, on your street
I won't let you down

Maybe something will change
Maybe something will change

A couple years later when I saw you making western moves
And pal-in' 'round but I still saw in you
You always believed in me and I always believed in you
Let's not turn the page

I will reach you
I will reach you
I will meet you, on your street
I won't let you down

I will meet you
I will meet you
I will meet you, on your street
I don't wanna let you down

Nothing Will Change
Nothing will change
Nothing will change
Nothing will change

Nothing Will Change

Are We There is about Van Etten's decade-long on-off relationship with a DJ named Christian that cracked as she focused on her blossoming music career. This song finds Van Etten telling the story of how she met her boyfriend. She told Uncut magazine: "That one is really R&B which I haven't done much before, it has more of a Sade groove. I was really into Sade's 'Soldier of Love.' And I got tired of the guitar, I thought I was rewriting the same song, so I started playing keys more."

"Coming up with a song on the organ felt different, I started singing in a more soulful way."

Our Love Lyrics

You say I am genuine
I see your backhand again
I'm a sinner, I have sinned
We're a half mast flag in wind

It's Our Love
It's our love
It's our love
It's our love
It's our love
It's our love
It's our love
It's our love
It's our love

At the bottom of a well
I'm reliving my own hell
Someone throws the ladder down
Still don't know what I have found

In our love
In our love
In our love
In our love
In our love
In our love
In our love
In our love
In our love

It's all love
It's all love
It's all love
It's all love
It's all love
It's all love
It's all love
It's all love

Our Love

This is a track from Are We There, which centers on the ending of Sharon Van Etten's on-off relationship with a DJ named Christian. "I had no idea I was writing a breakup record when I was writing this, but that's what I ended up doing," she admitted to Mojo magazine. "Most of the tracking was done by the time it happened. It's kind of heavy when you look at it in those terms; I'd been writing these songs for two years and everything just came to fruition. It's kind of dark."

The video, directed by Karen Collins, sees Van Etten, eyes shut, torn by her love. Speaking about the clip, Van Etten said: "Working with Karen was a dream. We sat together and talked about imagery and feeling and distance versus connection. Lightness versus darkness. Referencing directors like Tarkovsky to articulate the beauty in the understatement and slowness."

"'Our Love' is about someone acknowledging that having loved and letting it be over can be just as beautiful as being in love," she added. "It can also be a form of rebirth and renewal and inspiring and uplifting, even in the darkness and sadness. I think Karen captured that really well."

Asked on Reddit about her songwriting process, Van Etten replied: "I'm usually going through a really dark time. I pick up my recorder and my guitar or sit at the piano and sing stream of conscious for about ten minutes or so. Then I set it aside and don't listen to it for days. When I have a bit more distance from it, I listen to it and try to understand what it is I was going through and what I was feeling... Then I listen to see if there is a melody or a line that I can (and other people can) relate to and learn from. If I can't find any of that I don't share it. IF there is something to it, I work on it from there."
