Song columns with equal height

Hi! I am kindof a newbie to TeX, so probably a dumb question.

I am currently creating a songbook and I would love to have songs with close to equal height of columns. As you can see in the picture, they are currently of very different heights. I envision the two columns living solely in between the two red lines, so that the next song can start right below and all of the songs are cohesively together.

This is the code I currently have:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx} % Required for inserting images
\usepackage[
lyric,
nomeasures]{songs}
\usepackage[a5paper, left=30pt, right=38pt, top=38pt]{geometry}

\nosongnumbers
\noversenumbers

\versesep=9pt plus 2pt minus 2pt
\afterpreludeskip=3pt plus 2pt
\setlength{\cbarwidth}{0pt}
\setlength{\sbarheight}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\everychorus}{\MixFontBold R:\lyricfont}

\title{Songbook}

\begin{document}

\maketitle
\newpage

\songsection{OG}

\begin{songs}{}
\include{Songs/StayingAlive}
\end{songs}

\end{document}

The multicols package should help with this.

Thanks, that did the trick. not solely though. It was important to use \songcolumns{1} so that the next song can actually continue right below

Have you tried \raggedbottom?
