Lyrics:
He once was a friend of mine
who needed me all the time
How far would I be willing to go
to pull him back from the edge
to try to put him at ease
or talk him off the ledge
I had to keep him alive
I did whatever he pleased
So maybe that would guarantee that I’d be loved
We both fell in love on stage
Still teens, no longer underage
How far would I be willing to go
to feel the warmth of her bed,
to feel a part of her home
When she was trying to bloom
I only felt in the way
Our kind of sweetness was doomed
But had I stayed I would be guaranteed good love
She seemed inapproachable,
so proud, so inconsolable
How far would I be willing to go
to bring our creation to life,
to live up to our dreams,
and cut myself down to size
We came apart at the seams
But I would never dare say
I thought it guaranteed that I could not be saved
I longed for her long before
our paths crossed an open door
How far would I be willing to go
for us to both reinvent
One day I just couldn’t tell
her heartbeats from my own
And I thought to myself,
I’ve gone and done it again
She was the greatest love that I had ever known
Turns out it wasn’t enough
I longed to live in the dream
of everything I could be,
and she still echoed a world
I thought I wanted to flee
And though she always guaranteed that I’d be loved
I let it all go
I turned it all down
There was nothing to discuss
Although I took all her time
trying to give up on us
Give up the greatest guarantee that I’d be loved

Had this version on repeat since it showed up in my feed!
Oh my! This song is pulling on my heart strings this morning. ♥️😭♥️
That was a wonderful performance. Amazing arrangement as always.
Wow 😯 This si mg sound even better live… Sondre gets better and better every single time. He deserves a Grammy by now 🙌🏻
I have listened this song so many times now. I am happy to get to see the live version! Your music really strikes a chord with me. Thank you for your amazing songs.
Woww Amazing !!! Bravo Sondre
We love because He first loved us. Without Him there can be no love. I hope those listening will trust in Him through faith by grace, in the Lord Jesus Christ. Only HE is the unchangeable love, " The same yesterday, today and forever." Peace to you Sondre, He has gifted you richly.
Marvelous 👏
Love the string arrangement on this album✨
I've had this one on repeat lately
Holy cow. This is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. The story of the lyrics is exactly what happened to me. Or what I did to myself. I randomly had thought “avatar of love “would be a cool band name so I googled it And found this song. I have never heard of you before. You’re absolutely special. And I love you.
'Sentimentalist' is still one of the best song in my life. Thank you. From 🇰🇷
It's a truly wonderful arrangement.
Je to úžastné počúvať tento nádherný song , veľa príjemných pocitov , ďakujem ti 😊
incredible job sir
Best gig of the year for me this year at Bergenfest
Absolutely stunning!!
Love it. Everything that Sondre does with KORK is always top class. Intrigued as to why the last verse is not included in this version, artistic decision I assume.
this is very very very nice
Lovely! ❤️
