When I said you were my soul I wasn’t lying I wasn’t lying When I said you were my rose I wasn’t lying I wasn’t lying When I said you were my one I wasn’t lying I wasn’t lying When I said you were my soul I wasn’t lying I wasn’t lying This love will be the death of me When you said I was your soul Were you lying were you lying When you said I made you whole Were you lying were you lying When you said you had control Were you lying were you lying When you said I was your soul Were you lying were you lying This love will be the death of me

Better Be 01:48
Why'd you have to go? It's so dull in my room Staring at the wall Trying not to think of you When will you return to me? Better be soon, better be I toss and I turn I pace about the room I curse and I yearn For your familiar spoon When will you return to me? Better be soon, better be
3.
Ella 04:28
When we were nineteen and twenty we knew Walls could be easily climbed or toppled Every night an adventure with you Just cause you're gone there's no need to stop them Ella come back to us You dropped off this dropout and checked into class Turning your universe much more dreary But I'm coming for you and I'm coming fast You don't have to reason if you'll just hear me Ella come back to us Don't think that I'm not aware of the roots That we've embedded since our ways parted Well I will uproot them if you follow suit You don't see it yet but you've already started Ella come back to us There's no need to jump in, there's no need to rush Things are in motion that can't be halted There's no need to leave all your ambitions crushed There's no need to leave every old wound salted Ella come back to us
4.
I shouldn't go but I wanna go so I'm gonna go so farewell And if you know where I'm gonna go don't you don't ever tell I could stay for you but what's the use we're split in two down the seams If you want me to stick around for you you'd better do nicer things I'm taking off to where the freeway stops don't give no thought to tugging my leash Cause I'll blow it off it's all a wash so don't give no thought to me

I want to be there when you see what you have done to me I want to be there when you walk in on the flood beginning I want to be there when you drop all of the things you have wrought

Eurydice 03:31
Left with a kiss by the side of the road Two glossy lips are the softest I’ve known I’m calling to you Lights on and you drive off, I follow suit Three lefts and four rights and we are on route I’m calling to you I’ll think of a number between one and ten And ask you to guess when I see you again And I will lie if you don’t guess right Arriving, we briefly feel a lack of ease You loosen your jacket, slip out of your sleeves I’m calling to you Hand in hand we take our place by the fire Flames flicker shadows in shapes we admire I’m calling to you We might as well take the clocks off the wall Hours and minutes mean nothing at all We need no sleep Tonight’s not a thing we can keep
