I love how it starts off with the chorus, and how it uses the past tense "But my name was Eliza Day". It made me think the first time around, why "was"? It became clear soon enough... =\ I love thing song. I think it's absolutely hauntingly beautiful. It really paints a bewitchingly vivid scene.

I also like how it seems like a run-of-the-mill love ballad, but every now and then, something makes you feel as if something's not quite right. Until the end comes and you find out why.

Hauntingly beautiful.
