This track received a remix, entitled “I’ll Be Yours (Version 4am)” and released on the “English Summer Rain” single. Brian calls it a “disturbing track” saying:
Someone who wants to engulf another person completely in the name of love. Something I’ve been on the receiving end of and it’s scary.

[Verse 1]
I'll be your water bathing you clean
The liquid piece
I'll be your ether you'll breathe me in
You won't release
Well I've seen you suffer, I've seen you cry
The whole night through
So I'll be your water bathing you clean
Liquid blue
[Chorus]
I'll be your father, I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover, I'll be yours
I'll be your father, I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover, I'll be yours
[Verse 2]
I'll be your liquor bathing your soul
With juice that's pure
And I'll be your anchor you'll never leave
Shores that cure
Well I've seen you suffer, I've seen you cry
For days and days
So I'll be your liquor, demons will drown
And float away
[Chorus]
I'll be your father, I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover, I'll be yours
I'll be your father, I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover, I'll be yours
I'll be your father, I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover, I'll be yours
I'll be your father, I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover, I'll be yours
[Outro]
Yours, yours
Yours, yours
Yours, yours
Yours, yours
