Story Behind The Song
"Like Veronika" is inspired by one of our favorite books, "Veronika Decided to Die", by Paulo Coelho. Our imagined possible continuation, or outcome after the story has long finished.
Song Description
It's about love lost and the yearning that comes with it. We hear the male lead, very poignant, as well as the ethereal, almost other worldly voice of his beloved...but is it only in his head?

Lyrics
Like Veronika
2020 Bennett/Campbell
Verse I
I'm Afraid to see my future die
Like my past,
No goodbye
I wonder if I
Could even try
To stop time
Chorus
To
Live
Life
Bridge
Veronika thought to die
Changed her mind
Her reason
Was love
Verse II
All
She ever wants inside
To belong
To someone
Chorus
To
Live
Life
Middle Eight
All I ever really wanted was to find the one I'm waiting for
To adore
Nothing more
Oh
But sometimes I just can't find the thing I need to make my dull life shine
And the suffocating pain of waiting
Like I can't come up for air
Veronika
Oh
Verse III
I
Want the chance to find her again
Because she's
In my head
Chorus
To
Live
Life
Bridge
Veronika thought to die
Changed her mind
Her reason
Was love
