Song Lyrics:

The Ballad of Echo

N: If I’d have said I love you
E: Then I’d have said it too
N: You tried so hard to tell me
E: But there was nothing I could do
N: You wanted to ask me questions
E: But I was cursed when I met you
N: I switched on to your beauty
E: But we never made it through

N: And I said: “Please tell me your name” and you said:
E Please tell me your name
N: And I said: “I’ll ask you again” and you said:
E: I’ll ask you again
N: It’s driving me insane

N: Why d’you keep on saying what I say?
E: Why d’you keep on saying what I say?
N: You’re doing it again
E: You’re doing it again
N: You know it’s gonna have to end
E: You know it’s gonna have to end

E: I followed all your footsteps
N: All the way until the Moon
E: I longed to sing it to you
N: But you never found your own sweet tune.
E: I waited all my life
N: Did we really have choice?
N: The Summer is nearly over
E: And all that’s left of me is this voice.

N: Why d’you keep on saying what I say?
E: Why d’you keep on saying what I say?
N: You’re doing it again
E: You’re doing it again
N: You know it’s gonna have to end
E: You know it’s gonna have to end

N: And the look in your eyes doesn’t fit what you say
E: I just want you to know that I need you to stay
N: Why can’t you put the words together?
E: You think I’m crazy when I reach out for your hand
E: You’re making it worse, it’s a curse not a plan
N: I wish that somehow I could understand
