[Verse 1]
Erica and her Isadore
Climbed aboard a balloon
I want more than this kite will soar
I've set our sights on the moon
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't just leave, I've given everything
I can't believe you're taking everything, you're taking everything, oh
[Chorus]
It's not who you were, it's who you are
And we've come this far, lover
No, I won't rest until the world
Knows the name Isadore
[Verse 2]
Blinded by their unbridled height
Our lovers turned dissolute
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't just leave, I've given everything
I can't believe you're taking everything, you're taking everything, oh
[Chorus]
It's not who you were, it's who you are
And we've come this far, lover
No, I won't rest until the world
Knows the name Isadore
Knows the name Isadore
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Then with eyes wide, a splintered sight
There's just one parachute
Goodbye Erica, now I see
That my worst fears were in tune
[Chorus]
It's not who you were, it's who you are
And we've come this far, lover
No, I won't rest until the world
Knows the name Isadore
[Outro]
Knows the name Isadore
Won't rest until the world
Knows the name Isadore
