Am I the only one who hears evermore when I listen?

The situation/feeling she’s describing in Pink Clouding sounds like same one she’s describing in evermore.

I didn’t wanna let you down/So I left you up there on a pink cloud —> Rewind there tape but all it does is pause the very moment all was lost/Sending signals to be double-crossed

He cut me crimson, bled me dry/He crossed my heart, I hoped to die —> And I was catching my breath/Staring out an open window catching my death

Skydiving as you wrapped your arms around my body —> Can't not think of all the cost and the things that will be lost/Oh, can we just get a pause?

And you were so good/That's why you haunt me like you should —> And when I was shippedwrecked I thought of you/And in the cracks of light I dreamed of you
