    But they lie when they tell you they'll always be there..."
    • "Today and Ev'ry Day" begins with Ellie and Katherine lamenting the idea of being trapped in each other's bodies forever, with Ellie breaking down over the realization that she's been forced into adulthood without being ready while Katherine laments that she'll have to live through the most painful parts of her teen years a second time.
    Ellie: There's this whole long life I'll never live, my college years and more!
    Katherine: And all that I'll go through again that hurt so much before...
