6. “And I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew, I was enchanted to meet you” — Enchanted

7. “I want auroras and sad prose; I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet, ‘cause I haven’t moved in years, and I want you right here” — The Lakes

8. “All these people think love’s for show but I would die for you in secret” — Peace

9. “Time, mystical time, cutting me open and healing me fine” — Invisible String

11. “Across our great divide, there is a glorious sunrise, dappled with the flickers of light from the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind; and there is happiness” — Happiness

12. “But I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss, I knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs, the smell of smoke would hang around this long, ’cause I knew everything when I was young” — Cardigan
