Eleanor

Her eyes are shining golden sunbeams
I would chase her while she chased her dreams
We met up in the woods behind her childhood neighborhood
Back when everything was good and she still loved me

I don't know who I am
'Cause half of me is missing without her
She's the better half of me
Ellie, please come back to me
And I don't know where we stand
But she's packed her bags
And she's running back into the city
Ellie, please stay with me

Her hair flowed in the wind like leaves in the fall
No matter the circumstance, she'd always stand tall
Nobody can break her down
She learned to swim so she'll never drown
And I must say
I still love her, but I hate this town

I don't know who I am
'Cause half of me is missing without her
She's the better half of me
Ellie, please come back to me
And I don't know where we stand
But she's packed her bags
And she's running back into the city
Ellie, please stay with me

She's so afraid to fall
And she knows I don't fear death at all
Why did I make her feel so small?
Sometimes I wanna call her up
But I know damn well I've done enough
she hurt me, and I know it's all my fault

She wore that flowing dress in the summer
I let her go, what a bummer
She could've been my lover
But long live that fiery soul
That I put out in the cold
Maybe I could've been better to her
Yeah, maybe I could've been better to her
Maybe I could've been better to her

I don't know who I am
'Cause half of me is missing without her
She's the better half of me
Ellie, please come back to me
And I don't know where we stand
But she's packed her bags
And she's running back into the city
Ellie, please stay with me
