About This Track

'Echo' by Olivia Dean is an alternative track from the EP 'What Am I Gonna Do On Sundays? - EP' (2020). Its lyrics move through late-night reach-outs and the search for relief, with the speaker calling for reassurance in the form of a relationship rather than solitude. The refrain centres on the realisation that dependence is mutual, with the voice insisting, “No man's an island, do you not see”. There is a steady push-pull between self-styled confidence and urgent need, culminating in a bright, affectionate tone that frames loyalty as the only kind of shelter.

"Echo" is a single by Olivia Dean, from the album What Am I Gonna Do On Sundays? - EP, released 4th December 2020. The track is 3:18 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Olivia Dean.

Lyrics

Echo

I took five on the way home
Called you for a little piece 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?
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?
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?
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?
(Will you be my echo?)
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
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?
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?
Will you be my echo?
Will you be my echo?
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?
