i. how am i to be; the watson twins
and there’s no reason i can see for you to stay
our truce expired when
armed with my secrets the fight began
ii. stranger; katie costello
stranger i’ve known you for so long
i found you lost with a compass in the fog
iii. darling, your lover; loch awe
desperate i was to hold onto something
that held onto me
iv. skin; zola jesus
secret home i’ve made and found
a new way to breathe
v. promise; ben howard
who am i, darling, for you?
who am i?
could be a burden in time
who am i, to you?
vi. dust to dust; the civil wars
you’re like a mirror, reflecting me
takes one to know one, so take it from me
you’ve been lonely
you’ve been lonely, too long
vii. medicine; daughter
you could still be
what you want to
what you said you were
when i met you
viii. you were a kindness; the national
it doesn’t work that way
wanting not to want you doesn’t make it so
it doesn’t work that way
don’t leave me here alone
