"All I Ask"
"I will leave my heart at the door / I won't say a word / They've all been said before / So why don't we just play pretend / Like we're not scared of what's coming next / Or scared of having nothing left"

"River Lea"
"I should probably tell you now before it's way too late / That I never meant to hurt you or lie straight to your face / Consider this my apology / I know it's years in advance / But I'd rather say it now in case I never get the chance / No I can't go back, but the reeves are growing out of my fingertips / I can't go back to the river"

"Love in the Dark"
"This is never-ending / We have been here before / But I can't stay this time / Cause I don't love you anymore / Please stay where you are"

"All I Ask"
"If this is my last night with you / Hold me like I'm more than just a friend / Give me a memory I can use / Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do / It matters how this ends / Cause what if I never love again?"

"River Lea"
"But my heart is a valley / It's so shallow and man-made / I'm scared to death if I let you in that you'll see I'm just a fake / Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch / But I know that's just me cause nothing ever is enough"
