Darling you're with me, always around me
Only love, only love
Darling I feel you, under my body
Only love, only love
Give me shelter, or show me heart
Come on love, come on love
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart
Only love, only love
Darling I feel you, under my body
Only love, only love
Give me shelter, or show me heart
Come on love, come on love
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart
—"Only Love"

Tropes from the Whiteout:
- Denser and Wackier: "Is It?" is notably more psychadelic compared to the previous albums, showing the theme about Ben recovering from two strokes he had.
- Face on the Cover: The cover for "I Forgot Where We Were" is a monochrome picture of Ben.
- Gratuitous French: "Days of Lantana" features sampled dialogue from Linda Thompson’s “Les Trois Beaux Oiseaux De Paradis”.
- New Sound Album: "Is It?", as mentioned above, has a more psychadelic feel to it compared to the Folk nature of earlier albums.
- Questioning Title?: "Is It?"
- Real Life Writes the Plot: "Is It?" is based on Ben having two seperate strokes and it creates a story about his experiences.
