Becoming Yours

The third single off Ellis Wilder’s upcoming EP, Songs from October, “Lilac Wine” is a gritty folk ballad soaked in regret, memory, and the ache of what lingers. With raw vocals and stripped-back acoustic textures, Ellis traces the blurred edges of heartbreak and self-destruction — where the bottle speaks louder than closure, and love tastes like a lie you keep sipping anyway.

Scored with slow-burn guitar, dusty harmonics, and a bruised sense of confession, Lilac Wine doesn’t ask for pity — it just tells the truth.

“If love was truth, why’s it taste like goodbye?”

File under: gritty folk, heartache hymns, rustbelt ballads, after-midnight confessionals.

Lyrics:


1st verse

Daring to love you, ain't never been tough, tho lately my hair's turnin' white

I can be patient, I can be wrong, but it's worth it when you come around


Bridge 

With your golden hair guidin' me through the darkest times of the year, it's you and me darlin', it's you and me again


Chorus

Tell me you'll stay here, tell me you'll come near, tell me you'll stop lettin' me go

Tell me the wounds heal, tell me the signs will lead you to my broken door



2nd verse

The whippoorwill's crying, it's cryin' too much, I guess it's holdin' a grudge

The liquor's inviting, but I ain't drinkin much, 'cause I'm drunk on your eyes and your touch



Bridge

You know full well your touch guides me through the darkest times of the year, it's you and me darlin', it's you and me again



Chorus

Tell me you'll stay here, tell me you'll come near, tell me you'll stop lettin' me go

Tell me the wounds heal, tell me the signs will lead you to my broken door

Stop Lettin' Me Go (Unplugged)
