"Our Love," by Rhett Miller Richard Wagner's letters to his lover Matilda were a mess He should have quit before he had written the address They made love on the mezzanine, her husband was his friend Vienna in a fugue state, working on a thing that when he finished It took almost seven hours just to sing, he still found time to write to her His heart exploding words Our love surpassed our love so fast Our love's all wrong, our love goes on and on Our love become our love by name When I wrote it to you in a song Our love goes on and on Kafka in his letters to his lover Melaina was alive But he was waiting for a love that never would arrive Their rendezvous was singular, her husband was his friend She is a living fire, she is a reason to live She is killing me, burning all over him I'll spend my whole life loving her My heart exploding words Our love surpassed our love so fast Our love's all wrong, our love goes on and on Our love become our love by name When I wrote it to you in a song Our love goes on and on Our love, our love, our love, our love Our love surpassed our love so fast Our love's all wrong, our love goes on and on Our love become our love by name When I wrote it to you in a song Our love goes on and on Our love, our love, our love, our love |

And I don't mind If you say this love is the last time So now I'll ask Do you like that? Do you like that? No! Something's getting in the way. Something's just about to break. I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane. So tell me how it should be. Try to find out what makes you tick. As I lie down Sore and sick. Do you like that? Do you like that? There's a fine line between love and hate. And I don't mind. Just let me say that I like that I like that Something's getting in the way. Something's just about to break. I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane. As I burn another page, As I look the other way. I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane. So tell me how it should be. Desperate, I will crawl Waiting for so long No love, there is no love. Die for anyone What have I become? Something's getting in the way. Something's just about to break.

Romeo and Juliet, Dire Straits (though the version I LOVE is a cover by The Killers)
A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade Laying everybody low with a love song that he made Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?" Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack" He's underneath the window, she's singing "Hey, la, my boyfriend's back You shouldn't come around here, singing up people like that Anyway, what you gonna do about it?" Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start And I bet, that you exploded in my heart And I forget, I forget.. the movie song When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet? Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same And I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real How can you look at me, as if I was just another one of your deals? Well, you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah Now you just say, "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him" Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry I said, "I love you like the stars above, I love you 'till I die" And there's a place for us, you know the movie song When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet? I can't do the talk, like the talk on the TV And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you I can't do anything except be in love with you And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be All I do is keep the beat, and the bad company And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry I said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'till I die" There's a place for us, you know the movie song When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet? A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets of serenade Laying everybody low with a love song that he made Find a convenient streetlight, and steps out of the shade He says something like, "You and me, babe -how about it?" -- Soppy, but I love it  |
"Greatest Story Ever Told," by Oliver James Thank you for this moment I've gotta say how beautiful you are Of all the hopes and dreams I could've prayed for Here you are If I could have one dance forever I would take you by the hand Tonight, it's you and I, together I'm so glad that I'm your man But if I lived a thousand years You know I never could explain The way I lost my heart to you, that day And if destiny decided I should look the other way Then the world would never know the greatest story told And did I tell that I love you tonight? I don't hear the music when I'm looking in your eyes But I feel the rhythm of your body, close to mine It's the way we touch, it soothes me It's the way we'll always be Your kisses, your pretty smile, you know I'd die for you Baby, you're all I need But if I lived a thousand years You know I never could explain The way I lost my heart to you, that day And if destiny decided I should look the other way Then the world would never know the greatest story ever told And did I tell you that I love you, just how much I really need you? Did I tell you that I love you tonight? And if I lived a thousand years You know I never could explain The way I lost my heart to you, that day But if destiny decided I should look the other way Then the world would never know the greatest story ever told And did I tell you that I love you, just how much I really need you? Did I tell you that I love you tonight? |
Double-posting 'cause I can :P. "Lost Coastlines," by Okkervil River Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the quay No one waving for me, just the shoreline receding Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I didn't hand it in 'Cause who said sailing is fine? Leaving behind all the faces That I might replace, if I tried on that long ride, looking deep inside But I don't want to look so deep inside yet Sit down, sit down on the prow to wave bye There might not be another star, further on the line Look out, look out at each town that glides by And there's another crowd to drown in crying eyes And see how that light you love now just won't shine? There might just be another star that's high and far In some other sky We sing, is that marionette real enough just yet? To step off that set? You decide what her dance might mean to it Ruining the place when the ensuing melee escapes We packed up all of our bags, the ship's deck now sags From the weight of our tracks, as we pace beneath flags Black and battered, rattling our swords in service Of some fated foreign lord And we set out sail on orders from him, but we find the maps He sent to us don't mention lost coastlines, where nothing We've actually seen has been mapped or outlined But we don't recognize the names upon these signs And every night finds us rocking and rolling On waves wild and wide, well, we have lost our way Nobody's going to say it outright |
Meggie, I love that song!
Whistle For The Choir - The Fratellis Well it's a big big city and it's always the same Can never be too pretty tell me you your name Is it out of line if I were simply bold to say "Would you be mine"? Because I may be a beggar and you maybe the queen I know I maybe on a downer am still ready to dream Now it's 3 o'clock time it takes for you to talk So if you're lonely why'd you say your not lonely Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so It's just like you to come And go you know me no you don't even know me Your so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye A girl like you's just irresistible Well it's a big big city and the lights are all out But it's much as I can do you know to figure you out And I must confess, my hearts in broken pieces And my heads a mess And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong And it's you, woo hoo That's got me going crazy for the things you do So if your crazy I don't care you amaze me Oh your a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry And only, a girl like you could be lonely And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same A boy like me's just irresistible So if your lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so It's just like you to come and go And know me, no you don't even know me Your so sweet to try oh my, you caught my eye A girl like you's just irresistible |

"All Flowers in Time," by Jeff Buckley My eyes are a baptism Oh, I am fused, and I sing her into my thoughts To my face, oh, phantom elusive thing All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one, but here is one, here is one One that can never be known Either all drunk with the world at her feet Or sober with no place to go All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one, but here is one, but here is one Keep it going in me, wicked traveller Fading farther from me With your face in my window glow When will you weep for me, sweet willow? It's okay to be angry But not to hurt me Your happiness, yes, yes Darling... All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one, but here is one, here is one... |
Double-posting 'cause I can :P. "Passing Afternoon," by Iron & Wine There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon Summer warmed the open window of our honeymoon And she chose a yard to burn, but the ground remembers her Wooden spoons, her children stir her bougainvillea blooms There are things that drift away like our endless numbered days Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings Sunday pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass Springtime calls her children 'til she lets them go at last And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring Somewhere near her misplaced jar of bougainvillea seeds There are things we can't recall, blind at night that finds us all Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls But my hands remember her, rolling round the shaded ferns Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I never learned There are names across the sea, only now I do believe Sometimes, with the windows closed, she'll sit and think of me But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone |
OMG *glomps Raindrops757 because the Diary of Jane is an amazing song <=D*
Last Resort - Papa Roach
Cut my life into pieces This is my last resort Suffocation No breathing Dont give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding This is my last resort Cut my life into pieces Ive reached my last resort Suffocation No breathing Dont give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding Do you even care if I die bleeding Would it be wrong Would it be right If I took my life tonight Chances are that I might Mutilation outta sight And Im contemplating suicide Cuz Im losing my sight Losing my mind Wish somebody would tell me Im fine Losing my sight Losing my mind Wish somebody would tell me Im fine I never realized I was spread too thin Till it was too late And I was empty within Hungry Feeding on chaos And living in sin Downward spiral where do I begin It all started when I lost my mother No love for myself And no love for another Searching to find a love up on a higher level Finding nothing but questions and devils Cuz Im losing my sight Losing my mind Wish somebody would tell me in fine Losing my sight Losing my mind Wish somebody would tell me Im fine Nothings alright Nothing is fine Im running and Im crying Im crying Im crying Im crying Im crying I cant go on living this way Cut my life into pieces This is my last resort Suffocation No breathing Dont give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding Would it be wrong Would it be right If I took my life tonight Chances are that I might Mutilation outta sight And Im contemplating suicide Cuz Im losing my sight Losing my mind Wish somebody would tell me Im fine Losing my sight Losing my mind Wish somebody would tell me Im fine Nothings alright Nothing is fine Im running and Im crying I cant go on living this way Cant go on Living this way Nothings alright Romeo and Juliet is an amazing song, Meggie (: |
"Made for Glory," by Landon Pigg Like a thistle on a tree Like the sparkle on the sea You were made for glory And it's no wonder why you're here For all to see But like a thorn upon my flesh Your beauty haunts me I can't fight or leave And it's no wonder why you're here To torture me Sometimes a man needs to find relief In what he can touch, what he can see Maybe he knows that it won't do But it will do for tonight And now that you are out of sight I can only pray that you get out of mind But those prayers don't often work for me You're all I see Sometimes a man needs to find relief In what he can taste, what he can see Maybe he knows that it won't do But it will do for tonight, for tonight Like a thorn upon my flesh Like a thorn upon my flesh Like a thorn upon my flesh Sometimes a man needs to find relief In whatever ways that he can Maybe he knows that it won't do But it will do for tonight Sometimes a man must take the fall Few other ways will be heard Just when he dreamt he'd lose it all Someone comes along Like a thistle on a tree Like the sparkle on the sea |
I love Landon Pigg, Rabid. He always has beautiful songs that just appeal to me.

Come home Come home Cause I’ve been waiting for you For so long For so long And right now there's a war between the vanities But all i see is you and me The fight for you is all I’ve ever known So come home Oh I get lost in the beauty Of everything i see The world ain’t as half as bad As they paint it to be If all the sons If all the daughters Stopped to take it in Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin It might start now..Yeahh Well maybe I’m just dreaming out loud Until then Come home Come home Cause I’ve been waiting for you For so long For so long And right now there's a war between the vanities But all i see is you and me The fight for you is all I’ve ever known Ever known So come home Oh Everything i can’t be Is everything you should be And that’s why i need you here Everything i can’t be Is everything you should be And that’s why i need you here So hear this now Come home Come home Cause I’ve been waiting for you For so long For so long And right now there's a war between the vanities But all i see is you and me The fight for you is all I’ve ever known Ever known So come home Come home |
"Can I Stay?" by Ray LaMontagne Can I stay here with you 'til the morning? I am so far from home And I feel a little stoned Can I stay here with you 'til the morning? There's nothing I want more than to wake up on your floor Lay with me in your thinnest dress Fill my heart with each caress Between your blissful kisses Whisper "darling, this is love." Can I stay here with you 'til the day breaks? There's something you should know I ain't got no place to go Can I stay here with you 'til the day breaks? How happy it would make me to see your face when I awake Lay with me in your thinnest dress Fill my heart with each caress Between your blissful kisses Whisper "darling, this is love." Can I stay with you here through the nighttime? I've fallen sad inside And I need a place to hide I'm all alone and blue Won't you take me to your room? Lay with me in your thinnest dress Fill my heart with each caress Between your blissful kisses Whisper "darling, this is love." Whisper to me: "this is love." |
"Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh," by Bright Eyes The phone slips from a loose grip Words were missed then, some apology I didn’t want to tell you this No, it’s just some guy she's been hanging out with I don’t know, the past couple weeks I guess Well, thank you and hang up the phone Let the funeral start Hear the casket close Let’s pin split-black ribbon to your overcoat Well, laughter pours from under doors In this house, I don’t understand that sound no more Seems artificial, like a T.V. set Well, haligh, haligh, a lie, haligh This weight it must be satisfied You offer only one reply You know not what you do But you tear and tear your hair from roots Of that same head you have twice removed now A lock of hair you said would prove Our love would never die Well ha ha ha I remember everything The words we spoke on freezing South Street And all those mornings watching you get ready for school You combed your hair inside that mirror The one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears Something about those bright colors would always make you feel better But now we speak with ruined tongues And the words we say aren’t meant for anyone It’s just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance But there was once you You said you hate my suffering And you understood And you’d take care of me You'd always be there Well where are you now? Haligh, haligh, a lie, haligh The plans were never finalized But left to hang like yarn and twine Dangling before my eyes As you tear and tear your hair from roots Of that same head you have twice removed now A lock of hair you said would prove Our love would never die And I sing and sing of awful things The pleasure that my sadness brings As my fingers press onto the strings In yet another clumsy chord Haligh, haligh, an awful lie This weight would now be satisfied I'm gonna give you only one reply I know not who I am But I talk in the mirror To the stranger that appears Our conversations are circles Always one sided Nothing is clear Except we keep coming back To this meaning that I lack He says the choices were given Now you must live them Or just not live But do you want that? |
"We Get On" by Kate Nash Simply knowing you exist Ain't good enough for me But asking for your telephone number Seems highly inappropriate Seeing as I can't Even say hi When you walk by And that time you shook my hand It felt so nice I swear I never feel This way about any other guy And I never usually notice people's eyes but I conducted a plan To bump into you most accidentally But I was walking along And I bumped into you much more heavily Than I'd originally planned It was well embarrassing and I think you thought that I was a bit of a twat I just think that we'd get on I wish I could tell you face to face Instead of singing this stupid song But yeah I just think that we might get on So I went to that party and everyone They were kind of arty And I was wearing this dress Because I wanted to impress But I wasn't sure if I looked my best 'Cause I was so nervous But I carried on regardless Strutting through each room Trying to find you And when I saw you Kissing that girl My heart it shattered And my eyes, they watered And when I tried to speak I stuttered And my friends were like whatever You'll find someone better His eyes were way too close together And we never even liked him from the start And now he's with that tart And I heard she done some really nasty stuff Down in the park with Michael He said she's easy And if your guy's with someone that's sleazy Then he ain't worth your time 'Cause you deserve a real nice guy So I proceeded to get drunk and cry And lock myself in the toilets For the entire night Saturday night I watched channel five I particularly liked CSI I don't ever dream About you and me I don't ever make up stuff about us That would be considered insanity I don't ever drive by your house to see if you're in I don't even have an opinion On that tramp that you're still seeing I don't know your timetable I don't know your face off by heart But I must admit That there is still a part of me That thinks we might get on That we could get on That we should get on |
Okay, Taylor Swift is my sort of my guilty music pleasure, and this song has made me cry everytime I've listened to it so far so I thought I'd post it. I guess it just really reminds me of my childhood, especially because everything she describes fits exactly with my entire childhood, right down to the friends at 13 thing, her little brother, hugging her mother's legs and falling asleep, and the fact she got her mother's eyes.
"The Best Day", by Taylor Swift I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides, look now, the sky is gold I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home I don't know why all the trees change in the fall But I know you're not scared of anything at all Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away But I know I had the best day with you today I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away And we talk and window shop 'til I've forgotten all their names I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay But I know I had the best day with you today I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger God smiles on my little brother, inside and out, he's better than I am I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run And I had the best days with you There is a video I found from back when I was three You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs And Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world And now I know why the all the trees change in the fall I know you were on my side even when I was wrong And I love you for giving me your eyes For staying back and watching me shine And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm takin' this chance to say That I had the best day with you today |
Misery Business by Paramore
I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top. She's got a body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clock. It's a matter of time before we all run out, When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth. I waited eight long months, she finally set him free. I told him I can't lie he was the only one for me. Two weeks and we had caught on fire, She's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile. Whoa, I never meant to brag But, I got him where I want him now. Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now. But god does it feel so good, Cause I got him where I want him now. And if you could then you know you would. Cause god it just feels so... It just feels so good. Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change. Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change. And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged. I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way. Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you. Looking as innocent as possible to get to who, They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right. Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse! Whoa, I never meant to brag But, I got him where I want him now. Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now. But god does it feel so good, Cause I got him where I want him right now. And if you could then you know you would. Cause god it just feels so... It just feels so good. I watched his wildest dreams come true Not one of them involving you Just watch my wildest dreams come true Not one of them involving. Whoa, I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now. Whoa, I never meant to brag But, I got him where I want him now. Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now. But god does it feel so good, Cause I got him where I want him now. And if you could then you know you would. Cause god it just feels so... It just feels so good. |

Hehe, she's my guilty music pleasure as well  . That song is wonderful as well."Poison Oak," by Bright Eyes Poison oak, some boyhood bravery When the telephone was a tin can on a string And I fell asleep with you still talking to me You said you weren't afraid to die In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in a drawer? Well, I don't think that I ever loved you more Than when you turned away, when you slammed the door When you stole the car and drove towards Mexico And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm I was young enough, I still believed in war Well let the poets cry themselves to sleep And all their tearful words will turn back into steam But me, I'm a single cell on the serpent's tongue There's a muddy field where a garden was And I'm glad you got away but I'm still stuck out here My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears And I never thought this life was possible You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for The end of paralysis, I was a statuette Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench And when I press the keys it all gets reversed The sound of loneliness makes me happier |

Daylight by Matt and Kim
We cut the legs off of our pants Threw our shoes into the ocean Sit back and wave through the daylight Sit back and wave through the daylight Slip and slide on subway grates These shoes are poor mans ice skates Fall through like change in the daylight Fall through like change in the daylight I miss yellow lines in my roads Some color on monochrome Maybe I'll paint them in myself Maybe I'll paint them in myself These sidewalks liquid then stone Building walls and an old pay phone It rings like all through the daylight It rings like all through the daylight And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine I hope that someday I'll see without these frames And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone 'cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home I have five clocks in my life And only one has the time right I'll just unplug it for today I'll just unplug it for today Open hydrant rolled down windows This car might make a good old boat And float down grand street in daylight And float down grand street in daylight And with just half of a sunburn New yellow lines that I earned Step back and here comes the night time Step back and here comes the night time And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine I hope that someday I'll see without these frames And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone 'cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home |
"Songs From Different Times," by Jack Savoretti Has it always been hard for you? Are you scared of the truth? Is the wrong way just right for you? 'Cause I'm losing my mind Sitting here watching you cry Don't let the music die We are playing songs from different times I'll let you say goodbye on another day But not today, on another day, but not today I am always the one to give And you call me a thief You say I'm stealing your time away But I'm just waiting to see If you'll wait for me Don't let the music die We are playing songs from different times I'll let you say goodbye on another day But not today, on another day, but not today Don't let the music die We are playing songs from different times I'll let you say goodbye on another day But not today, on another day, but not today |
"Sitting, Waiting, Wishing" by Jack Johnson Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing You believed in superstitions Then maybe you'd see the signs The Lord knows that this world is cruel I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you Must I always be waiting, waiting on you Must I always be playing, playing your fool I sang your songs, I danced your dance I gave your friends all a chance But putting up with them Wasn't worth never having you Maybe you've been through this before But it's my first time so please ignore The next few lines cause they're directed at you I can't always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool I keep playing your part But it's not my scene Want this plot to twist I've had enough mystery Keep building it up Then shooting me down But I'm already down Just wait a minute Just sitting, waiting Just wait a minute Just sitting, waiting Well, if I was in your position I'd put down all my ammunition I'd wonder why'd it taken me so long But Lord knows that I'm not you And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel Cause waitin' on love aint so easy to do Must I always be waiting, waiting on you Must I always be playing, playing your fool No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool |
Bones, The Killers
We took a back road. We're gonna look at the stars. We took a backroad in my car. Down to the ocean, it’s only water and sand And in the ocean we'll hold hands. But I don't really like you, apologetically dressed in the best, but on a heartbeat glide. Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky, and on the cold, wet dirt I cry. And on the cold, wet dirt I cry. Don’t you wanna come with me? Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It's only natural. A cinematic vision ensued like the holiest dream. It's someone's calling? An angel whispers my name, but the message relayed is the same: “Wait till tomorrow, you'll be fine." But it's gone to the dogs in my mind. I always hear them when the dead of night comes calling to save me from this fight. But they can never wrong this right. Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It's only natural. Don’t you wanna swim with me? Don’t you wanna feel my skin on your skin? It's only natural. (Never had a lover) I never had a lover (Never had soul) I never had soul (Never had a good time) And I never had a good time (Never got cold) Never thought I'd grow old. Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It's only natural. Don't you wanna swim with me? Don't you wanna feel my skin on your skin? It's only natural. Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It’s only natural. Come and take a swim with me. Don't you wanna feel my skin on your skin? It’s only natural |
"3 Rounds And A Sound," by Blind Pilot. They're playing our song They're playing our song Can you see the lights? Can you hear the hum? Of our song I hope they get it right I hope we dance tonight Before we get it wrong And the seasons Will change us new Be the best I've known And you know me I could not be stuck on you If it weren't true I was swimming My eyes were dark Til you woke me And told me that opening is just the start It was Now I see you, til kingdom come You're the one I want To see me for all the stupid shit I've done Soil and six feet under Killed just like we were Before you knew you'd know me And you know me Blooming up from the ground Three rounds and a sound Like whispering you know me And you know me So this was our song This was our song I still see the lights I can see them And the criss cross Of what is true won't get to us Cause you know me I could not give up on you And the fog of what is right Won't cover us cause you know me I could not give up a fight Soil and six feet under Killed just like we were Before you knew you'd know me And you know me Blooming up from the ground Three rounds and a sound Like whispering you know me And you know me |
Cassie by Flyleaf The question asked in order To save her life or take it The answer no to avoid death The answer yes would make it Make it Do you believe in God Written on the bullet Say yes to pull the trigger Do you believe in God Written on the bullet And Cassie pulled the trigger All heads are bowed in silence To remember her last sentence She answered him knowing what would happen Her last words still hanging in the air In the air Do you believe in God Written on the bullet Say yes to pull the trigger Do you believe in God Written on the bullet And Cassie/Rachel pulled the trigger How many will die I will die I, I will say yes Do you believe in God Written on the bullet Say yes to pull the trigger Do you believe in God Written on the bullet And Cassie pulled the trigger (Do you believe) Do you believe in God (Do you believe) Do you believe in God (Do you believe) Do you believe in God And I will pull the trigger |
"Your Song," by Elton John It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money, but boy, if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do My gift is my song, and this one's for you And you can tell everybody that this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind That I put down in words how wonderful life is When you're in the world I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well, a few of the verses, they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you that I keep it turned on So excuse me for forgetting, but these things I do You see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway, the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen And you can tell everybody that this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind That I put down in words how wonderful life is While you're in the world, I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is when you're in the world |
"Castles Made of Cand" by Jimi Hendrix
Down the street you can hear her scream you're a disgrace As she slams the door in his drunken face And now he stands outside And all the neighbors start to gossip and drool He cries oh, girl you must be mad, What happened to the sweet love you and me had? Against the door he leans and starts a scene, And his tears fall and burn the garden green And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually A little Indian brave who before he was ten, Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends And he built up a dream that when he grew up He would be a fearless warrior Indian Cheif Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until Tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first battle But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually There was a young girl, who's heart was a frown Cause she was crippled for life, And she couldn't speak a sound And she wished and prayed she could stop living, So she decided to die She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore And to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no more But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say Look a golden winged ship is passing my way And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going... And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually |
Beautiful Life by Charlotte Martin
(this song is in the Sims 2 University) You can't judge the love by the lover The sky by its thunder The road with no sign You can't make the snow fall in summer Or make him not want her And not leave you behind Maybe he'll stay in touch years down the road And hope that he's still on your mind The sun may come up and go down again I'll still swear it's a beautiful life Maybe we'll meet up in Denver Talk about weather, talk of old times I know every word that we said was what we both meant Well we meant it at the time Promise me that you'll be standing up straight Chasing rivers and shadows and time The sun may come up and go down again I'll still swear it's a beautiful life Time flies Time cries Time flies Time cries So swim to the end of the river Until there's no shiver left in your spine Live like there won't be tomorrow See through your sorrow See through your own eyes Try to remember these days down the road And try to remember this time The sun may come up and go down again I'll still swear it's a beautiful life The sun may come up The sun may go down The sun may come up The sun may go down The sun may come up The sun may go down I'll still swear it's a beautiful life |
Finally, a song about me :P
"Mouthwash" by Kate Nash This is my face, covered in freckles with an occasional spot and some veins. This is my body, covered in skin, and not all of it you can see And, this, is my mind, it goes over and over the same old lines And, this, is my brain, it’s torturous analytical thoughts make me go insane And I use mouthwash Sometimes I floss I got a family And I drink lots of tea I’ve got nostalgic don’t know I’ve got familar faces I’ve got a mixed-up memory And I’ve got favourite places And I’m sitting at home on a Friday night And I’m sitting at home on a Friday night and I hope everything’s going to be alright This is my face, I’ve got a thousand opinions and not the time to explain And this is my body, and no matter how you try and disable it, I’ll still be here And, this, is my mind, and although you try to infringe you cannot confine And, this, is my brain, and even if you try and hold me back there’s nothing that you can gain Because I use mouthwash Sometimes I floss I got a family And I drink lots of tea I’ve got nostalgic don’t know I’ve got familar faces I’ve got a mixed-up memory And I’ve got favourite places And I’m sitting at home on a Friday night And I’m sitting at home on a Friday night and I hope everything’s going to be alright |
"Before It Breaks," by Brandi Carlile Around here, it's the hardest time of year Waking up, the days are even gone The collar of my coat Lord help me, cannot help the cold Will the rain drops sting my eyes Or keep them closed? But I'm feeling no pain I'm a little lonely and my quietest friend Have I the moonlight, have I let you in? Say it ain't so, say I'm happy again Say it's over, say I'm dreaming Say I'm better than you left me Say you're sorry, I can take it Say you'll wait, say you won't I can make my own mistakes Let it bend before it breaks I'm alright- don't I always seem to be? Aren't I swinging on the stars? Don't I wear them on my sleeves? Went looking for a crossroads, happens every day And whichever way you turn I'm gonna turn the other way Say it's over, say I'm dreaming Say I'm better than you left me Say you're sorry, I can take it Say you'll wait, say you won't Say you love me, say you don't I can make my own mistakes Learn to let it bend before it breaks Say it's over, say I'm dreaming Say I'm better than you left me Say you're sorry, I can take it Say you'll wait, say you won't Say you love me, say you don't I can make my own mistakes Let it bend before it breaks |
Never Think by Robert Pattinson (yes, the guy from Twilight)
I should never think What's in your heart What's in our home So I won't You'll learn to hate me But still call me baby Oh, love So call me by my name And save your soul Save your soul Before you're too far gone Before nothing can be done I'll try to decide when She'll lie in the end I ain't got no fight in me In this whole damn world Tell you to hold off You choose to hold on It's the one thing that I've known Once I put my coat on I'm coming out in this all wrong She's standing outside holding me Saying, 'Oh, please I'm in love I'm in love' Girl save your soul Go on save your soul Before you're too far gone Before nothing can be done 'Cause without me You got it all So hold on Without me you got it all So hold on Without me you got it all Without me you got it all So hold on Without me you got it all So hold on Without me you got it all So hold on |
"Pride And Joy," by Brandi Carlile Time of day I can't recall The kind of thing that takes it toll Over years and over time Over smiles and over wine All in all, it wasn't bad All in all, it wasn't good But I still care That's the problem with the days They're never long enough to say What it is you never said All the books you never read I throw myself into the wind Hoping somebody might pick me up And carry me again Where are you now? Do you let me down? Do you make me grieve for you? Do I make you proud? Do you get me now? Am I your pride and joy? I believe this to be true There's nothing sacred, nothing new No one tells you when it's time There are no warnings, only signs And now you know that you're alone You're not a child anymore But you're still scared All your mountains turn to rocks All your oceans turn to drops They are nothing like you thought You can't be something you are not Life is not a looking glass Don't get tangled in your past Like I am learning not to Where are you now? Do you let me down? Do you make me grieve for you? Do I make you proud? Do you get me now? Am I your pride and joy? |
All Around Me Flyleaf My hands are searching for you My arms are outstretched towards you I feel you on my fingertips My tongue dances behind my lips for you This fire rising through my being Burning I'm not used to seeing you I'm alive, I'm alive I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing My hands float up above me And you whisper you love me And I begin to fade Into our secret place The music makes me sway The angels singing say we are alone with you I am alone and they are too with you I'm alive, I'm alive I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing And so I cry The light is white And I see you I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing Take my hand I give it to you Now you own me All I am You said you would never leave me I believe you I believe I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healed |
Forever now by Cold Chisel
Taking her seat at the bar She don't talk to anyone Plane leaving soon for afar Where she don't know anyone She thinks of her precious time There's no-one she leaves behind Who could change her mind Is this the way it's gonna be forever Is this the way it's gonna be forever Is this the way it's gonna be Forever now Take a whole life's lonliness Wrap it up in some tenderness Send it off to some emptiness With all my love Cos it's only you and me There'll be nothing we need to see Only one thing can set you free Is all my love Making his way down the stairs He can't help but looking back Thinks of the things that they shared There'll be no more turning back He thinks of the day they met The words that she said of love He just can't forget Just the way they wanna be forever Just the way they wanna be forever Tell me it will always be Forever now Take a whole life's lonliness Wrap it up in some tenderness Send it off to some emptiness With all my love It's only you and me There'll be nothing we need to see Only one thing can set you free Is all my love It's only you and me There'll be nothing we need to see Only one thing can set you free Is all our love, oh yeah |
"I Want You" by Bob Dylan The guilty undertaker sighs The lonesome organ grinder cries The silver saxophones say I should refuse you The cracked bells and washed-out horns Blow into my face with scorn But it's not that way I wasn't born to lose you I want you, I want you I want you so bad Honey, I want you. The drunken politician leaps Upon the street where mothers weep And the saviors who are fast asleep They wait for you And I wait for them to interrupt Me drinkin' from my broken cup And ask for me Open up the gate for you I want you, I want you Yes, I want you so bad Honey, I want you. Now all my fathers they've gone down True love they've been without it But all their daughters put me down 'Cause I don't think about it. Well, I return to the Queen of Spades And talk with my chambermaid She knows that I'm not afraid To look at her She is good to me And there's nothing she doesn't see She knows where I'd like to be But it doesn't matter I want you, I want you Yes, I want you so bad Honey, I want you. Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit He spoke to me, I took his flute No, I wasn't very cute to him - Was I ? But I did though because he lied Because he took you for a ride And because time was on his side And because I .. I want you, I want you Yes, I want you so bad Honey, I want you. |
"How To Save A Life," by The Fray Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame You begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you And pray to God he hears you Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life |
"Out of the Dark," by Matt Hires I'm burnt out and wasted, I'm tired of pacing I'm busy erasing the voices of the dead, everything changes And everyone's faceless, I wanna replace this darkness In my head In a strange, strange place, I'm lying on the edge of a star In these violent days, I only want to be where you are Even fools they say can find a way out of the dark Of the dark, help me out of the dark Have I been a sinner? A lover, a killer? 'Cause the world I've discovered It feels nothing like my heart I want to escape it or try to embrace it I keep rearranging everything I know In a strange, strange place, I'm lying on the edge of a star In these violent days, I only want to be where you are Even fools they say can find a way out of the dark Of the dark, help me out of the dark In a strange, strange place, I'm lying on the edge of a star In these violent days, I only want to be where you are Even fools they say can find a way out of the dark Of the dark, help me out of the dark Out of the dark Help me out of the dark |

Soco Amaretto Lime by Brand New Passed out on the overpass Sunday best and broken glass Broken down from the bikes and bars Suspended like spirits over speeding cars You and me were kings over the parkway tonight And tonight will go on forever while we walk around this town like we own the streets and stay awake through summer like we own the heat Singing "everybody wake up(wake up)it's time to get down" (everybody, everybody wake up its time to get down) And when I pass the bottle back to Pete on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open) So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned) And we'll never miss a party (this offer stands forever) cause we keep them going constantly And we'll never have to listen (new haircut) to anyone about anything (new bracelet) cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner) we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever) The hell out of this town Find some conversation The low fuel lights been on for days It doesn't mean anyhting I've got another 500 nother 500 miles before we shut this engine down, we shut it down I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open) So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned) And we'll never miss a party (this offer stands forever) cause we keep them going constantly And we'll never have to listen (new haircut) to anyone about anything (new bracelet) cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner) we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever) (you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love) Eighteen forever (your stomachs filled up but you're starved for conversation) So we can stay like this forever (you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed) And we'll never miss a party (and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over) cause we keep them going constantly (you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love) And we'll never have to listen (your stomachs filled up but you're starved for conversation) to anyone about anything cause it's all been done (you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed) and it's all been said (and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over) we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get Just jealous cause we're young and in love You're just jealous cause we're young and in love You're just jealous cause we're young and in love You're just jealous cause we're young and in love You're just jealous cause we're young and in love You're just jealous cause we're young and in love |
"Lover I Don't Have To Love," by Bright Eyes I picked you out of a crowd and talked to you I said I liked your shoes You said, "Thanks, can I follow you?" So it's up the stairs and out of view No prying eyes I poured some wine I asked your name, you asked the time Now it's two o'clock The club is closed We're up the block Your hands on me; Pressing hard against your jeans Your tongue in my mouth, trying to keep the words from coming out You didn't care to know who else may have been you before I want a lover I don't have to love I want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck Where's the kid with the chemicals? I thought he said to meet him here but I'm not sure I've got the money if you've got the time You said it feels good I said, "I'll give it a try." Then my mind went dark We both forgot where your car was parked Let's just take the train I'll meet up with the band in the morning Bad actors with bad habits Some sad singers they just play tragic And the phone's ringing and the van's leaving Let's just keep touching; let's just keep... keep singing... I want a lover I don't have to love I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk Where's the kid with the chemicals? I've got a hunger and I can't seem to get full I need some meaning I can memorize The kind I have always seems to slip my mind But you, but you... You write such pretty words But life's no storybook Love's an excuse to get hurt And to hurt. Do you like to hurt? I do, I do Then hurt me... |
"Candy" by Paolo Nutini I was perched outside in the pouring rain Trying to make myself a sail Then I'll float to you my darlin' With the evening on my tail Although not the most honest means of travel It gets me there nonetheless I'm a heartless man at worst, babe And a helpless one at best Darling I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes Just give me some candy, before I go Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes And lay you down on your rug Just give me some candy After my heart Oh I'm often false explaining But to her it plays out all the same and although I'm left defeated It get's held against my name I know you got plenty to offer baby But I guess I've taken quite enough Well I'm some stain there on your bedsheet You're my diamond in the rough Darling I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes Just give me some candy before I go Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes And lay you down on your rug Just give me some candy After my heart I know that there´re writings on the wall But Darling I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes Just give me some candy After my heart Oh I'll be there waiting for you |

My favourite Christmas song ever:
"Fairytale of New York" by The Pogues It was Christmas Eve babe In the drunk tank An old man said to me, won't see another one And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you Got on a lucky one Came in at ten to one I've got a feeling This year's for me and you So Happy Christmas I love you baby I can see a better time When all our dreams come true They've got cars big as bars They've got rivers of gold But the wind goes right through you It's no place for the old When you first took my hand On a cold Christmas Eve You promised me Broadway was waiting for me You were handsome You were pretty Queen of New York City When the band finished playing They howled out for more Sinatra was swinging, All the drunks they were singing We kissed on a corner Then danced through the night The boys of the NYPD choir Were singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day You're a bum You're a punk You're an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas your arse I pray God it's our last The boys of the NYPD choir Still singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day I could have been someone Well so could anyone You took my dreams from me When I first found you I kept them with me babe I put them with my own Can't make it all alone I've built my dreams around you The boys of the NYPD choir Still singing "Galway Bay" And the bells are ringing out For Christmas Day. |

Tomorrow, if a golden train came to take you away Would you go or would you stay? Here in this cozy room, just me and you Cuddling and kissing, making sweet love The shooting-star wishing Watching the sun come up We'll sleep all day, meet in our dreams And live life our way, drop it all off And we'll fly away, dip through the stars And wake up slowly But tomorrow, if a golden train came to take you away Would you go or would you stay? Tomorrow, if a golden train came to take you away Would you go or would you stay? One thing I know for sure Is my love for you is deeper Than any root or stone Mama told me so Don't walk the streets alone I said one thing I know for sure Is my love for you is deeper Than any root or stone Mama told me so Don't walk the streets alone I said tomorrow if a golden train came to take you away Would you go or would you stay? Tomorrow, if a golden train came to take you away Would you go or would you stay? Tomorrow if a golden train came to take you away Would you go or would you stay? Tomorrow if a golden train came to take you away Would you go or would you stay with me? |
"Hate It Here," by Wilco I try to stay busy I do the dishes, I mow the lawn I try to keep myself occupied Even though I know you're not coming home I try to keep the house nice and neat I make my bed I change the sheets I even learned how to use the washing machine But keeping things clean doesn't change anything What am I gonna do when I run out of shirts to fold? What am I gonna do when I run out of lawn to mow? What am I gonna do if you never come home? Tell me, what am I gonna do? I hate it I hate it here When you're gone I caught myself thinking I caught myself thinking once again Have to try to keep my mind out of this Try not to pretend I'll check the phone I'll check the mail I'll check the phone again and I call your mom She says you're not there and I should take care I hate it here When you're gone I hate it I hate it here When you're gone I try to stay busy I take out the trash, I sweep the floor Try to keep myself occupied Cause I know you don't live here anymore |
^I really like that song, PixCii. My favorite Wilco songs are 'Jesus, Etc.' and 'nothing'severgonnastandinmyway (Again)'.
"Does This Sound Familiar", by The Audition
sticks and stones may break your bones but his words can't hurt you anymore but it never bothered him before when he used to make the room spin round he is responsible for every headache that you get he is the cut inside your mouth that never heals he is the rope that ties you down he is the one that keeps you here he is the thorn in your side he is the romance in your life your eyes look like the blue skies that turn to gray tears swell up round your nose and blood on your shirt tell my why you think that it's ok it's not alright to let him treat you this way breathe please swallow and digest that snake bit off more than he can chew does this sound familiar does this sound like you but you are far too gracious to waste your life with him the sparkle in your eyes becomes the darkness in the night I am the knife that cuts you free I am the key that lets you out I am the gauze that heals your wounds and I pray this pen won't fail me now your eyes look like the blue skies that turn to gray tears swell up round your nose and blood on your shirt tell my why you think that it's ok it's not alright to let him treat you this way breathe deep close your eyes self-esteem runs low whisper something in my ears that I don't know just to write this letter saying nothings alright you'll get through my darling you'll get through tonight making snow angels in broken glass hope that he falls into a heart attack to hell with you I'm done with feeling sorry to hell with yourself she's had enough to hell with yourself it's over and over tomorrow will let you go it's over and over tomorrow will bring you hope I'm not sure to everyone's taste, though. |
Wacky lyrics that still make sense:
"To The Dogs Or Whoever" by Josh Ritter Deep in the belly of a whale I found her Down with the deep blue jail around her Running her hands through the ribs of the dark Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc I love the way she looks in her underwear I lose my page then the book then the plot then I swear She makes the most of her time by loving me plenty She knows there'll come a day when we won't be getting any The stain of the sepia the butcher Crimea Through the wreck of a brass band I thought I could see her In a cakewalk she came through the dead and the lame Just a little bird floating on a hurricane I was flat on my back with my feet in the thorns I was in between the apples and the chloroform She came to me often I was sure I was dying It was always hard to tell if she was laughing or crying I thought I heard somebody calling In the dark I thought I heard somebody call Joan never cared about the in-betweens Combed her hair with a blade did the Maid of Orleans Said Christ walked on water we can wade through the war You don't need to tell me who the fire is for Oh bring me the love that can sweeten a sword A boat that can love the rocks or the shore The love of an iceberg reaching out for a wreck Can you love me like the crosses love the nape of the neck? Was it Casey Jones or Casey at the Bat Who died out of pride and got famous for that? Killed by a swerve laid low by the curve Do you ever think they ever thought they got what they deserved? Pity the bullet and pity the man Who both find their place in the same sad plan Who both are like the barrel going over the falls Crying all the way down I never asked to be involved I thought I heard somebody calling In the dark I thought I heard somebody call General George began the day by taking pink little pills Sent his men to the top of some hell of a hill Through the whisper of trees came artillery breeze He said I love the way the wind comes a-tickling my knees Jane shot the apple right between the eyes I was thinking of her when you came outside Lemonade on your breath sun in your hair Did I mention how I love you in your underwear? Deep in the belly of a whale I found her Down with the deep blue jail around her Running her hands through the ribs of the dark Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc I thought I heard somebody calling In the dark I thought I heard somebody call |
"Drifting Further Away," by Powderfinger Don't go too deep into the flood Don't stare too long, you'll poison my love Don't shut me out, don't hold it all in Don't let my venom get under your skin 'Cause every word and every turn And every sign points to your hurt With every hour, you're drifting further away Come make your peace, come find your way Come lay your wreath at the altar of change Don't lose your stare, don't break the bone Don't shoulder your burden out there on your own 'Cause every word and every turn And every sign points to your hurt With every hour, you're drifting further away Don't banish me then bid me home Don't tell me where I came undone Don't harbor love like it's all your own Don't linger over what you've done Don't sink underneath the weight Of when you tried to carry way too much You never should have let go Could have joined the whole show Never should have let go You never should have let go 'Cause every word and every turn And every sign points to your hurt With every hour, you're drifting further away Now you're drifting further away Now you're drifting further away Now you're drifting further away |
I'm not sure if these have been posted before, but if they have, here they are again...
"Volcano," by Damien Rice Don't hold yourself like that You'll hurt your knees I kissed your mouth and back But that's all I need Don't build your world around volcanoes melt you down What I am to you is not real What I am to you you do not need What I am to you is not what you mean to me You give me miles and miles of mountains And I'll ask for the sea Don't throw yourself like that In front of me I kissed your mouth your back Is that all you need? Don't drag my love around volcanoes melt me down What I am to you is not real What I am to you you do not need What I am to you is not what you mean to me You give me miles and miles of mountains And I'll ask for what I give to you Is just what I'm going through This is nothing new No, no, just another phase of finding what I really need Is what makes me bleed And like a new disease she's still too young to treat Volcanoes melt me down She's still too young I kissed your mouth You do not need me |
Jesus Christ by Brand New Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face The kind you'd find on someone I could save If they don't put me away Well, it'll be a miracle Do you believe you're missing out That everything good is happening somewhere else? But with nobody in your bed The night's hard to get through And I will die all alone And when I arrive I won't know anyone Well Jesus Christ, I'm alone again So what did you do those three days you were dead? Cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend. Well Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die, I'm a little bit scared of what comes after Do I get the gold chariot? Do I float through the ceiling? Do I divide and fall apart? Cause my pride is too sly to hold back all my dark And the ship went down in sight of land And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands I know you'll come in the night like a thief But I've had some time alone to hold my lies inside me I know you think that I'm someone you can trust But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up So do you think that we could work out a sign So I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try I know you'll come for the people like me But we all got wood and nails Tongue tied to a hating factory But we all got wood and nails Your tortured (and hanging) factory Yeah, we all got wood and nails Your tortured (and hanging) factory Yeah, we all got wood and nails And we sleep inside of this machine |
"You Make My Dreams," by Hall & Oates (one of my favorite songs of all time) What I want, you've got And it might be hard to handle Like a flame that burns a candle The candle feeds the flame What I've got is full stock Of thoughts and dreams that scatter And you pull them all together And how I can't explain, oh yeah Well, well you, you make my dreams come true Well, well, well you, you make my dreams come true On a night when bad dreams become a screamer When they're messing with the dreamer I can laugh it in the face Twist and shout my way out And wrap yourself around me 'Cause I ain't the way you found me And I'll never be the same Well 'cause you, you make my dreams come true Well, well you, you make my dreams come true Listen to this I'm down on my daydreams Oh, that sleepwalk should be over by now I know, well you, you make my dreams come true I'm waiting for, waiting for you girl You make my dreams come true I'm waiting for, waiting for, waiting for, waiting for You make my dreams, I've been waiting for you, girl You make my dreams |
My Ghost, by Glass Pear Lovers come and lovers go Once they lived, but now they're ghosts Walking the streets they used to know, like shadows. People disappear every hour and every year Sometimes I believe they're here like shadows, Like shadows. Who can you trust in this place? In whom can I put my faith? If you're real, then show me now Who you are. How can I love without grace? Shine a light on your face. If you're real, then show me now Who you are. Blowing like a secret wind Pouring on my naked skin Like a river flowing in the ocean. And when I turned to see your face I saw a joy I could not place Vanishing without a trace, Like a shadow in the sun. Who can you trust in this place? Where can I put my faith? If God is love, then why's the world The way it is? How can I love without grace? Shine a light on your face. If you're real, then show me now Who you are. My ghost. |
"When You Say My Name," by Mario Spinetti Softly, I touch you And I breathe you As gently as the night Touch me, I need you When you whisper in my ear I'm alive When you say my name And you know I'm there When you say my name And you fall into my arms You can fall into my arms again Passion, an ember Of a fire that will always Light your dark Slowly surrender You don't have to be afraid Of where you are When you say my name And you know I'm there When you say my name And you fall into my arms Falling when you say my name And you know And you know And you know I'll be there I'll be there I'll be there You can fall into my arms You can fall into my arms again |
In Parentheses - Charlotte Martin State of pain like mercury Hearing pink illusions Gorgeous at 85, older at 23 I drink the water out of time I said has anybody seen the whirlpool floating in my mind I said has anybody seen This is the low that I could find I'm on solitary sand and I've been stepped on by a man But I've stood taller than I am In parentheses Beauty queens are very shy More than lash than meets your eye So she jumps then wants to fly It¹s too late now I'm in denial I'll get medieval on boy-bands I said is anybody listening The way life makes the nice girls fast I said is anybody listening It isn't just unlucky chance And I'm on solitary sand And I've had bullshit from a man But found exactly who I am I'll never be the vision of a girl who can write poetry I'll never be the little black dress we've seen on Natalie B. I'll never be five foot ten, I'm barely five foot three I'm on solitary sand But in parentheses |
"Come What May," from Moulin Rouge (cheesiest song ever, but I love it) Never knew I could feel like this Like I've never seen the sky before Want to vanish inside your kiss Every day I'm loving you more and more Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing? Come back to me and forgive everything Seasons may change, winter to spring But I love you until the end of time Come what may, come what may I will love you until my dying day Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste It all revolves around you And there's no mountain too high No river too wide Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide But I love you until the end of time Come what may, come what may I will love you until my dying day Come what may, come what may I will love you |
"Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word," by Elton John What have I got to do to make you love me What have I got to do to make you care What do I do when lightning strikes me And I wake to find that you're not there What do I do to make you want me What have I got to do to be heard What do I say when it's all over And sorry seems to be the hardest word It's sad, so sad It's a sad, sad situation And it's getting more and more absurd It's sad, so sad Why can't we talk it over Oh it seems to me That sorry seems to be the hardest word What do I do to make you love me What have I got to do to be heard What do I do when lightning strikes me What have I got to do What have I got to do When sorry seems to be the hardest word |
"At This Moment," by Billy Vera and the Beaters What did you think I would do at this moment? When you're standing before me with tears in your eyes? Trying to tell me that you have found you another And you just don't love me no more What did you think I would say at this moment? When I'm faced with the knowledge that you just don't love me Did you think I would curse you or say things to hurt you? 'Cause you just don't love me no more Did you think I could hate you Or raise my hand to you? Now come on, you know me too well And how could I hurt you When, darling, I love you? And you know I'd never hurt you What did you think I'd give at this moment? If you'd just stay, I'd subtract twenty years from my life I'd fall down on my knees and kiss the ground that you walk on If I could just hold you again I'd fall down on my knees And kiss the ground that you walk on, baby If I could just hold you, if I could just hold you I would fall down, down on my knees Oh, God, please, let me hold you... Let me hold you again |
I might have posted this before, but it's still an amazing song.
"Babylon" by David Gray Friday night I'm going nowhere All the lights are changing green to red Turning over TV stations Situations running through my head Well looking back through time You know it's clear that I've been blind I've been a fool To ever open up my heart To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule Saturday I'm running wild And all the lights are changing red to green Moving through the crowd I'm pushing Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream Only wish that you were here You know I'm seeing it so clear I've been afraid To tell you how I really feel Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made If you want it Come and get it Crying out loud The love that I was Giving you was Never in doubt Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Babylon, Babylon Sunday all the lights of London Shining , Sky is fading red to blue I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves And wondering where it is you might be going to Turning back for home You know I'm feeling so alone I can't believe Climbing on the stair I turn around to see you smiling there In front of me If you want it Come and get it Crying out loud The love that I was Giving you was Never in doubt And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Babylon, Babylon, Babylon |
"Lullaby," by Billy Joel Goodnight, my angel, time to close your eyes And save these questions for another day I think I know what you've been asking me I think you know what I've been trying to say I promised I would never leave you And you should always know Wherever you may go, no matter where you are I never will be far away Goodnight, my angel, now it's time to sleep And still so many things I want to say Remember all the songs you sang for me? When we went sailing on an emerald bay And like a boat out on the open sea I'm rocking you to sleep The water's dark and deep Inside this ancient heart You'll always be a part of me Goodnight, my angel, now it's time to dream And dream how wonderful your life will be Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby Then in your heart there will always be a part of me Someday we'll all be gone But lullabies go on and on They never die That's how you and I will be |
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - a few different people The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the empty skies The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hands Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command my love The first time ever I lay with you I felt your heart so close to mine And I knew our joy would fill the Earth And last, and last, and last till the end of time The first time ever I saw your face |
Are you Ten years Ago by Tegan and Sara Taken I am yours I'm up and doing circles I collapse I might stay out longer than I left the light on for you then If you show you show When I feel like this, when I get so into myself I lose track of where I'm going then, lose track of how to get going again Feel myself slowing down Feel myself turning around Is this taken? When I feel like this, when I get so sick of myself Where are you going then, without me And not knowing then, that we're slowing down You've got to turn right around And tell me that I'm taken then Tell me if I'm yours You collapse The pressure of this life is so you can't be held accountable If you go you go When you act like this, when you get so sick of yourself The whole world falls away, and since I feel like I have only missed The feeling that I'm here again The feeling that I'm clear again I'm not taken When you act like this, when you get so into yourself I lose sight of common goals and letting go So I can be all alone Feel myself going slow, feel myself letting go Not taken, not feeling like I'm yours Taken I am yours I'm up and doing circles I collapse This life looks like a sentence, though a constant game of falling short If you know you know When I feel like this, when I'm just so sick of feeling less than perfect Isn't right for me, I never fight to see if coming clean would get to me I feel myself holding back, I feel the pressure, it's finally back, I'm taken When you felt like this, when you saw it all come crashing down Subtle but not underground, I was there I saw the signs I saw unfair and so I wrote to you through other means I let myself finally feel taken Like I was yours |
"Falling Slowly," by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova I don't know you but I want all the more for that Words fall through me, always fool me, and I can't react Games that never amount to more than they meant Will play themselves out Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice You've made it now Falling slowly, eyes that know me And I can't go back Moods that take me and erase me And I'll paint it black You have suffered enough and warred with yourself It's about time that you won Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice You've made it now Falling slowly, sing your melody I'm singing mine |
A couple of my favvy Regina Spektor songs.
Blue Lips He stumbled into faith and thought, "God, this is all there is?" The pictures in his mind arose, And began to breathe. And all the gods and all the worlds Began colliding on a Backdrop of Blue. Blue lips, Blue veins. He took a step, but then felt tired. He said, "I'll rest a little while." But when he tried to walk again, He wasn't a child. And all the people hurried fast, Real fast, And no one ever smiled. Blue lips, Blue veins. Blue, The color of our planet from far, far away. He stumbled into faith and thought, "God, this is all there is?" The pictures in his mind arose, And began to breathe. And no one saw, and no one heard. They just followed the lead. The pictures in his mind arose, And began to breed. They started out beneath the knowledge tree. Then they chopped it down to make white picket fences, And, marching along the railroad tracks, They smile real wide for the camera lenses. They made it past the enemy lines Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines. Blue lips, Blue veins. Blue, The color of our planet from far, far away. Blue, The most human color. Blue, The most human color. Blue, The most human color... Blue lips, Blue veins. Blue, The color of our planet from far, far away. -- God I love it :lovestruc -- Folding Chair Come and open up your folding chair next to me My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze There's a shadow You can't see my eyes And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies Let's get a silver bullet trailer and have a baby boy, I'll safety pin his clothes all cool and you'll graffiti up his toys I've got a perfect body, but sometimes I forget I've got a perfect body, 'cause my eyelashes catch my sweat yes they do They do Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Now I've been sitting on this abandoned beach for years Waiting for the salty water to cover up my ears But every time the tide come in to take me home I get scared I get scared NOW I'm sitting here alone Dreaming of the dolphin song Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Maybe one day you'll understand That I want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand Till that day just please don't be so down Don't make frowns, you silly clown Just come and open up your folding chair next to me My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze There's a shadow You can't see my eyes And the waves are just a frothier version of the skies There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes |
Yellowcard Snippet from Breathing:
How am I supposed to feel about the things I've done? I don't know if I should stay or turn around and run I know that I hurt you things will never be the same The only love I ever knew I threw it all away Yellowcard Struck Where is your inspiration, you lost it oh so long ago so much for innovation, I saw this coming long before You had no motivation, your hopes are high but Trapped below, This constant competition, we've won but your still keeping score But I grew up, wishing on a star You think, I won't ever get too far So high on dedication, it feels so good to get away From all this repetition, this angry town, this battleground So now we'll break tradition we'll leave you swimming in our wake Without your inspiration, you won't survive you'll surely drown But I grew up, wishing on a star You think, I won't ever get too far |
"Right Moves," by Josh Ritter All of a sudden now you're back again I thought you were happy with whoever Or did you dream about me now and then? Did you look up at the stars and feel something for the constellations? All of those lovers circling round their loved ones Slings and arrows, dogs and lions, rivers separating from touch to touch The comedy of distance, the tragedy of separation Am I making all the right moves? Am I singing you the right blues? Is there a time that I could call you Just to see how you are doing? I said how is it that you come back to me? You don't need the stories of my scars written in the stars To tell you that nothing's free I traded all the innocence I ever had for hesitation I said won't you tell me where you've been? You put a finger to my lips and then you kiss me once and once again The crickets all leapt up and met the moon with a standing ovation Am I making all the right moves? Am I singing you the right blues? Is there a time that I could call you Just to see how you are doing? I heard the night was picking up the song You threw your hair back and you sang along And I realized that I might lose you You might lose me, drift apart in the night Never know why and not know how I said, "what if we are like the northern sky? What if there are things that come between us That we can't take back, we can't make right?" You said, "I don't know darling, But I'm here with you and we're coming to the chorus now." Am I making all the right moves? Am I singing you the right blues? Is there a time that I could call you Just to see how you are doing? Am I making all the right moves? Am I singing you the right blues? Is there a time when I could call you Just to see how you are doing? |
Breathe (2AM) - Anna Nalick 2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake, "Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?, I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season" Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes Like they have any right at all to criticize, Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason 'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button, girl. So cradle your head in your hands And breathe... just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss "Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist, "Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year." Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while, But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles, Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it. Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button, boys, So cradle your head in your hands, And breathe... just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe There's a light at each end of this tunnel, You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again If you only try turning around. 2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me, Threatening the life it belongs to And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud And I know that you'll use them, however you want to But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button now Sing it if you understand. and breathe, just breathe woah breathe, just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe. |
Calline-That's one of my favorite songs ever.
Redeemed-Charlotte Martin Every tree has got her root And every girl forbidden fruit And got her demons And the path I chose to go A different girl so long ago I had my reasons And she's in my head so loud And screaming, “Shouldn't you be proud of what you came from?" “Oh you've been crippled and you've walked and You've been shut up and you talked So let's talk some more” (One, two, three The flashback to get me On a one, two, four The threat of the memory) Where is the hand For me to reach? Where is the moral I'll ever teach myself? In all the black (black) In all the grief (grief) I am redeemed And it's ripping at my heart Because I'm dodging all the darts And on a slow train And then I'll wear it 'til it tatters And it shatters on the floor In instant replay Oh, we're all rotten And we're pure And we're just looking for the cure That feels like spring snow And all we have is who we are And where we been got us this far So let me go Where is the hand For me to reach? Where is the moral I'll never teach myself? In all the black (black) In all the grief (grief) I am redeemed Well Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh Where is the hand For me to reach?

"The Scientist" by Coldplay Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry You don't know how lovely you are I had to find you Tell you I need you Tell you I've set you apart Tell me your secrets And ask me your questions Oh, let's go back to the start Running in circles Coming up tails Heads on the science apart Nobody said it was easy It's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard Oh take me back to the start I was just guessing At numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science Science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart Oh tell me you love me Come back and haunt me Oh and I rush to the start Running in circles Chasing our tails Coming back as we are Nobody said it was easy Oh, it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I’m going back to the start |
"Stand By Me," by John Lennon When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we see No I won't be afraid No, I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand, stand by me And darling, darling stand by me Oh, now, now stand by me Stand by me, stand by me If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall And the mountains should crumble and fall to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry No, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, stand by me And darling, darling stand by me Oh now, now stand by me Stand by me, stand by me Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me? Oh, now, now stand by me Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me |
Samson by Regina Spektor You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth I have to go, I have to go Your hair was long when we first met Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us And the bible didn't mention us, not even once You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads But they're just old light, they're just old light Your hair was long when we first met Samson came to my bed Told me that my hair was red Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed Oh I cut his hair myself one night A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light And he told me that I'd done alright And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one And history books forgot about us And the bible didn't mention us, not even once You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first |

Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy Your fingertips across my skin The palm trees swaying in the wind Images You sang me Spanish lullabies The sweetest sadness in your eyes Clever trick Well, I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do We walked along a crowded street You took my hand and danced with me Images And when you left, you kissed my lips You told me you would never, never forget These images No Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do I cannot go to the ocean I cannot drive the streets at night I cannot wake up in the morning Without you on my mind So you're gone and I'm haunted And I bet you are just fine Did I make it that Easy to walk right in and out Of my life? Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should have known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do |
"I'll Do Anything (Acoustic)," by Jason Mraz I love his lyrics... they're so inventive Go make your next choice be your best choice And if you're looking for a boy with a voice Well, baby, I'm single Are you in the mood for some dude? Or are you in the mood to be subdued? Or would you rather just mingle? I just bumped the mic with my head tonight And I said that's alright, that's alright 'Cause I'm not the one wearing the headphones, you are Say, I'll do what I can do I'll do anything spontaneously We can keep chilling like ice cream filling We can be cool in the gang if you'd rather hang It ain't no thing, and I can be lucubrious with you I got no ifs and ors, no wits or whats about it But this place is getting crowded and my house is two blocks away Or maybe closer I would if I could, I would do anything spontaneously You know that I would if I could I would do anything spontaneously If you could be nimble, you'd have it simple just like me So go and try it, do not deny yourself your freedom So step on up to the plate, get a date with Mraz See, you better act fast because supplies, they never last And did you know that this is a limited time offer? So go make your mind up before our time's up And now you better start winding it up because the party's almost over And if you should know, girl, I can move it just a little bit slower See how I would do? If I could, I would do I would do anything spontaneously You know that I would, oh, if I could I would do anything spontaneously With you |

"Viva la Vida" by Coldplay I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing: "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Catholic choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you go there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in. Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries Wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king? I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Catholic choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Catholic choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter will call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world |
Louder than Thunder by The Devil Wears Prada What would it take For things to be quiet Quiet like the snow I know, this isn't much But I know I could, I could be better I don't think I deserve it, Selflessness Find your way into my heart All stars could be brighter All hearts could be warmer What would it take For things to be quiet Quiet like the snow Are we meant to be empty handed I know I could, I could be better I dont think I deserve it Selflessness Find your way into my heart All stars could be brighter All hearts could be warmer What would it take What would it take What would it take, for things to be quiet |
"The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot," by Brand New (an old favorite) If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand I hope you find out what you want, already know what I am And if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again You can tell me how vile you already know that I am I'll grow old, start acting my age Be a brand new day in a life that you hate A crown of gold, a heart that's harder than stone And it hurts a whole lot, but it's missed when it's gone Call me a safe bet, I'm betting I'm not I'm glad that you can forgive I'm only hoping that as time goes You can forget If it makes you less sad, I'll move out of the state You can keep to yourself, I'll keep out of your way If it makes you less sad, I'll take your pictures all down Every picture you paint, I will paint myself out It's cold as a tomb and it's dark in your room As I sneak to your bed to pour salt in your wounds So call it quits or get a grip, you say you wanted a solution You just wanted to be missed Call me a safe bet, I'm betting I'm not I'm glad that you can forgive I'm only hoping that as time goes You can forget So you can forget You can forget You are calm and reposed, let your beauty unfold Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones Spring keeps you ever close, you are secondhand smoke You are so fragile and thin, standing trial for your sins Holding onto yourself the best you can You are the smell before rain You are the blood in my veins Call me a safe bet, I'm betting I'm not I'm glad that you can forgive I'm only hoping that as time goes You can forget |
Baby Boy - Big Brovaz From the day that I saw you I knew that we would pursue Cause the chemistry we felt that day Felt so real, and so true Looking back on a year we spent together How it’s been, what we went through Although we’ve had our little ups and downs We’ve still pulled through Baby girl you’re my world my everything I wanna lace you with diamonds and every ring Give you everything you dream and fantasize Cause you can tell me that you love me Looking in my eyes You keep it real with me, I keep it real with you You keep on loving me, I’ll keep on loving you Keep doing what you do, I feel your whole aura And I can’t wait to hook up again tomorrow baby - what My love for you will never end You’ll always be a part of me As long as time keeps on passing by You’ll always be my baby boy. Everytime I look at you, I can’t believe I’ve found a love so true (and) I took my time to put my trust in you I must admit it was so hard to do And every minute that I spend with you You make me believe I have nothing to loose and Deep down I always knew that you would be mine Do you believe in destiny Because I got a funny feeling this was meant to be Without you I’d be lost, I need you next to me Preferably in the house full of luxuries and little kids From day one I was sprung, knew you was gonna be one Cause my heart spoke for the very first time in a long while And every time you smile, I can see us walking up the aisle with you carrying my child C’mon If you were to go, I don’t know You’re the only one who sweeps me off my feet Makes my soul go weak The only one who makes my heart wanna beat and I, I could never live without you You know that what I feel has to be true Cause you’re my, my sweet love Ever since the first time, that I looked into your eyes I knew that you were gonna be mine Feeling you from the inside, when you’re not by my side You’re the only girl that’s on my mind I never knew a love like this, a love so strong A vision so picture perfect it could never be wrong Along the way, you’re gonna see you belong with Jay I might have to marry you one day baby eh.. |
"If You Don't Wanna Love Me," by James Morrison When you lower me down So deep that I can't get out And when you're lost, lost and alone Yes, you'd think it was the last place You'd come back for more If you don't want me to leave Then don't push me away You'd rather blow out the lights You can watch it all fade But I'm going nowhere I'm gonna stay When you just wanna fight When you're closing your eyes 'Cause you don't wanna love me I'm gonna stay You can't push me too far There's no space in my heart Where I don't wanna love you And when there's no, no storm Then how can I feel the calm? If there's nothing, nothing, nothing left to lose Then what is this feeling That keeps on bringing me back to you? So I'm gonna stay When you just wanna fight When there's tears in your eyes 'Cause you don't wanna love me So I'm gonna stay, yes I will You can't push me too far There's no space in my heart Where I don't wanna love you If you asked me to leave And I walked away We'd still be alone And we'd still be afraid I'm going nowhere I'm going nowhere 'Cause I'm gonna stay When you just wanna fight And there's tears in your eyes 'Cause you don't wanna love me I'm gonna stay All the tears that I've cried I could leave them to dry If you don't wanna love me I could leave them to dry If you don't wanna love me |
Double post :P. "Since You've Asked," by Judy Collins What I'll give you since you asked Is all my time together; Take the rugged sunny days, The warm and Rocky weather, Take the roads that I have walked along, Looking for tomorrow’s time, Peace of mind. As my life spills into yours, Changing with the hours Filling up the world with time, Turning time to flowers, I can show you all the songs That I never sang to one man before. We have seen a million stones lying by the water. You have climbed the hills with me To the mountain shelter, Taken off the days one by one, Setting them to breathe in the sun. Take the lilies and the lace From the days of childhood, All the willow winding paths Leading up and outward, This is what I give, This is what I ask you for; Nothing more. |
Motion Sickness - Call the Cops!
How does it feel to be alone? (I see inside your eyes) You wanna be here with me and my own (See inside your eyes) It's cause a lie, the truth, that's fine, we never know The truth is what I'm after And I know the sign I'm searching for won't show And I sing about what I dream about And my dream's loving you tonight And I have no doubt the words that I shout And scream so loudly late at night When I don't think that I can handle Know I think that you'll be fine I've never met another lover who would love me the way that you did Baby, ooh, you're different Feels like I've been kicked in the chest And I know you never cared Because you're just like all the rest, Baby I sing about what I dream about And my dream's loving you tonight And I have no doubt the words that I shout And scream so loudly late at night Do you believe all those lies that she told you? Late at night, when she told you she loved you, she lied When I don't think that I can handle, Know I think that you'll be fine I've never met another lover who would love me the way that you did Baby, ooh, you're different Come on, come on, won't you get close to me Come on, come on, won't you get close to me (Why don't you) Come on, come on, won't you get close to me (Why don't you) Come on, come on, won't you get close to me (Why don't you) Come on, come on, won't you get close to me (Why don't you) Come on, come on, won't you get close to me (Why don't you) When I don't think that I can handle Know I think that you'll be fine I've never met another lover who would love me the way that you did Baby, ooh, you're different. |
"Adventures in Solitude," by The New Pornographers Balancing on one wounded wing Circling the edge of the never ending The best of the vanished marvels Have gathered outside your door More than begin, but less than forget But spirits born from the not happened yet Gathering there to pay off a debt Brought back from the wars We thought we lost you We thought we lost you We thought we lost you It will all come back Sleeping for years, pick through what is left Through the pieces that fell and rose from the depth From the rainwater well, deep as a secret nobody knows Less than forget but more than begun These adventures in solitude are never done To the names of our wounds We send the same blood back from the wars We thought we lost you We thought we lost you We thought we lost you It will all come back I know you want to run far away From one more and that it's coming at a bad time Some cold place, heartless ways for all we know I know you need to breathe through Come back, come too, but it's coming at a bad time Tangled day, for all we know I know you want to run far away From one more and that it's coming at a bad time Some cold race, heartless ways for all we know I know you need to breathe through Come back, come too, but it's coming at a bad time Old scarred face, survivor's guilt, for all we know |
Double-post! "Lilac Wine," by Jeff Buckley I lost myself on a cool, damp night I gave myself in that misty light Was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree I made wine from the lilac tree Put my heart in its recipe It makes me see what I want to see And be what I want to be I think more than I want to think And do things I never should do I drink much more than I oughta drink Because it brings me back you Lilac wine is sweet and heady like my love Lilac wine, I feel unsteady like my love Listen to me, I cannot see clearly Is that she coming to me nearly? Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where's my love? Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love? Listen to me, why is everything so hazy? Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy? Lilac wine, I feel unready, my love I feel unready, my love |
Disenchanted by My Chemical Romance--
Well, I was there on the day They sold the cars for the queen, And when the lights all went out, We watched our lives on the screen. I hate the ending myself But it started with an alright scene. It was the roar of the crowd That gave me heartache to sing. It was a lie when they smiled And said "You won't feel a thing". And as we ran from the cops, We laughed so hard it would sting. Yeah, yeah! Oh! If I'm so wrong (so wrong, so wrong), How can you listen all night long (all night long, night long)? Now will it matter after I'm gone? Because you never learned a goddamn thing! It is the sad song With nothin' to say, About a lifelong Wait for a hospital stay. Well, if you think that I'm wrong, This never meant nothin' to ya. I spent my highschool career, Spit on and shove to agree, So I can watch all my heroes Sell a car on TV. Bring out the old guillotine, We'll show 'em what we all mean. Yeah, yeah! Oh! If I'm so wrong (so wrong, so wrong), How can you listen all night long (all night long, night long)? Now will it matter after I'm gone? Because you never learned a goddamn thing! It is the sad song With nothin' to say, About a lifelong Wait for a hospital stay. Well, if you think that I'm wrong, this never meant nothin' to ya. So go, go, go! Just go! Run away! But where did you run to? And were did you hide? Go find another way, Price you pay. Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah, woah, woah! It is the sad song With nothin' to say, About a lifelong Wait for a hospital stay. Well, if you think that I'm wrong, This never meant nothin' to ya. Come on! It is the sad song With nothin' to say, About a lifelong Wait for a hospital stay. Well, if you think that I'm wrong, This never meant nothin' to ya. At all ... At all ... At all ... At all ... |

When I'm Sixty-Four - The Beatles When I get older, losing my hair Many years from now, Will you still be sending me a valentine? Birthday greetings, bottle of wine? If I've been out 'til quarter-to-three Would you lock the door? Will you still need me, Will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four? You'll be older too And if you say the word, I could stay with you. I could be handy mending a fuse When your lights are gone. You can knit a sweater by the fireside. Sunday mornings, go for a ride. Doing a garden, digging the weeds. Who could ask for more? Will you still need me, Will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four? Ev'ry summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight, If it's not too dear. We shall scrimp and save. Grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck and Dave. Send me a postcard, drop me a line Stating point of view. Indicate precisely what you mean to say. You're sincerely wasting away. Give me your answer, fill in a form, Mine forevermore. Will you still need me, Will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four? |
"Mama, You've Been on My Mind," by Bob Dylan Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat And covering the crossroads I'm standing at Or maybe it's the weather or something like that But Mama, you've been on my mind I mean no trouble, please don't put me down, don't get upset I am not pleading or saying that I can't forget you yet I do not pace the floor bowed down and bent But yet, Mama, you've been on my mind Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts, they might be narrow Where you've been don't bother me or bring me down with sorrow I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow But Mama, you've been on my mind I'm not asking you to say words like yes or no Please understand me, I have no place I'm calling you to go I'm just whispering to myself so that I can pretend that I don't know But Mama, you've been on my mind When you wake up in the morning and you look inside your mirror You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear As someone who has had you on his mind |
I'm getting completely lost on what's been posted and what hasn't (that and I'm totally bored :P), so I thought I'd make a handy summary of the songs posted thus far. And I make no guarantees about my alphabetizing
 Also, if you haven't posted the name of the song, I'm not listing it here.
Incomplete, I'll finish it tomorrow. Edit: Done, I'll try to keep it up to date. |
You are a saint, PharaohHound ."It Doesn't Always Have to be Beautiful," by Slow Club She said the sleepers on the tracks have woken up It's the end of the line, I guess our luck is up It was fun while it lasted, but nothing ever does Love lost its meaning, it was wasted on us In the electrical storm, you were running wild You had a death wish, you were a child I came to bearing a lightning bolt If you came back as the deep sea, I would come back as the salt It's like your head's stuck in a tightening vise Your ears are deaf to your friends' advice 'Cause you know that your heart will never be full It doesn't always have to beautiful unless it's beautiful Okay leave now, leave now if you just can't stay Because there's nothing worse than somebody pretending away The years of their youth they will never get back So I'll go home and practice the traits you've said I lack Like listening to the thunder of your heart And how with every other beat, we grow further apart Love was always gonna be hard to give up But I'm thinking that you'll never love anybody else as much But it's ugly, it's ugly now, yeah, I know Because you never give things enough time to grow It's like driving through a carnival It doesn't always have to be beautiful unless it's beautiful Baby, I know it's over Don't tell me, please Wait until you're sober We know it's true Waiting never quite felt like waiting When waiting was with you Baby, I know it's over Don't tell me, please Wait until you're sober We know it's true Waiting never quite felt like waiting When waiting was with you So let me tell you, tell you a thing or two About how to survive when there's a me and a you It's awful, it's gruesome, it's something, it's cruel Forever you will ask, how did this happen to you? 'Cause I'm always thinking, thinking about where you are Who you're with and if your mind is far From what we do when we're alone It's all too much for me and now the wall hits the phone It's like your head's stuck in a tightening vise Your ears are deaf to your friends' advice 'Cause you know that your heart will never be full It doesn't always have to beautiful unless it's beautiful Baby, I know it's over Don't tell me, please Wait until you're sober We know it's true Waiting never quite felt like waiting When waiting was with you Baby, I know it's over Don't tell me, please Wait until you're sober We know it's true Waiting never quite felt like waiting When waiting was with you |
Ordinary by Train which I am currently listening to. From the Spider Man 2 Soundtrack.
Whose eyes am I behind I don’t recognize anything that I see Whose skin is this design I don’t want this to be the way that you see me I don’t understand anything anymore In this world that I’m tired of Is taking me right up these walls That I climb up To get to your story It’s anything but ordinary And when the world is on its knees with me its fine And when I come to the rescue I get nothing but left behind Everybody seems to be getting what they need where's mine ‘Cause your what I need so very but I'm anything but ordinary Can you save me from this world of mine Before I get myself arrested with this expectation You are the one look what you’ve done What have you done? This is not some kind of joke You’re just a kid You weren’t ready for what you did And when the world is on its knees with me its fine And when I come to the rescue I do it for you time after time Everybody seems to be getting what they need where's mine ‘Cause you what I need so very but I'm anything but ordinary I think I'm trying to save the world from you You’ve been saving me too We could just stay in and save each other I'm anything but ordinary (ordinary) I'm anything but ordinary (ordinary) |
"Astair," by Matt Costa Astair, your glare is killing me Astair in skies of blue The signs you wear are making me So confused But the mountains and the trees Are they just what you need? Or are they less than what You'd expect to see And if you're leaving, well come Give me a reason why I let you down Before you turn around, now Now before you turn around Astair, you're there and I'm still here I swear that I'm so confused The signs you wear are making me Feel like I'm the one to lose But the canyons and the seas Are they just what you need? Or are they less than what You'd expect to see And if you're leaving, well come Give me a reason why I let you down Before you turn around now, now Before you turn around now, now But the mountains and the trees Are they what you perceive? Or are they less than what You'd expect to see And if you're leaving, well come Give me a reason why I let you down Before you turn around now, now Before you turn around, Astair |
[i]Water's running in the wrong direction
Got a feelin' it's a mixed up sign I can see it in my only reflection Something funny's going on inside my mind Don''t know what Is wishing me a higher Something steady from the floor below And then it drops And catches like fire It's the sound aih It's the sound aih It's the sound of the underground The beat of the drums goes round and round Listen to the overflow And the girls get down to the sound of the rainbow (Continues on, I won't finish it) ~Sound of the Underground; Girls Aloud~ |
Holy shit, PharaohHound, you are amazing :O
"Gone" by Jack Johnson Well look at all those fancy clothes But these could keep us warm Just like those. And what about your soul Is it cold Is it straight from the mould And ready to be sold. And cars and phones and diamond rings Bling, bling Those are only removable things And what about your mind Does it shine or Are there things that concern you more Than your time Gone going Gone everything Gone give a damn Gone be the birds when they don’t want to sing Gone people All awkward with their things Gone Look at you out to make a deal You try to be appealing but you lose your appeal And what about those shoes you’re in today They’ll do no good On the bridges you burnt along the way You’re willing to sell anything Gone with your herd Leave your footprints And we’ll shame them with our words Gone people All careless and consumed Gone Gone going Gone everything Gone give a damn Gone be the birds if they don’t want to sing Gone people All awkward with their things Gone |
Double posting, I had to :P
"Wake Up" by Malcolm Middleton When I wake up, I wake up alone. I sit and I wait and listen for the phone. Only when you're near me do I feel at home. Now you're not with me and I want you to come home. And I'll do the best I can but I'm a liar, I don't have a plan. And I'll do my best for you but I'm hopeless, I don't have a clue. When I fuck up, I fuck up so good. I make mistakes and best laid plans can be misunderstood. Sometimes when you're near me I still feel alone, So put your arms around me then I'll be back home. And I'll do the best I can. I might be pissed but I'll lend a hand. And you know you'll be safe in the night, I'll be awake and coughing by your side. Don't try to tell me that I'm good coz I know better, I can call people with the proof. You need never lock your door I'll never sleep because you snore And I've never wanted more than I've wanted you. And I'll do the best I can but I'm a liar, I don't have a plan. And I'll do my best for you but I'm hopeless, I don't have a clue. And I'll be there when I can. I might be pissed but I'll lend a hand And you know you'll be safe in the night, I'll be awake and coughing by your side. |
"Christmas Is Interesting" - Jonathan Coulton
You have put on your feety pajamas It's time for a long winter's nap There's a knock on the door and a stranger is there He wants you to sit on his lap He takes your watch and he gives you a hairbrush Your wife gets a wig on a chain He says he can't stay 'Cause he's got a long way to go And it's starting to rain Christmas is interesting Like a knife in your heart Christmas is interesting How it tears you apart Christmas is interesting Like a stick in your eye It's so freaking interesting That it might make you cry So you're an elf, but you'd rather be a dentist Maybe you're a train with square wheels Maybe you're a squirt gun that only shoots jam Now you know how Jesus feels He is riding a sleigh he calls Rosebud His mansion is lonely and cold He can't remember a pleasant December When he wasn't tired and old Christmas is interesting Like a knife in your heart Christmas is interesting How it tears you apart Christmas is interesting Like a stick in your eye It's so freaking interesting That it might make you cry So you're drunk and your name is Jimmy Stewart You once had a wonderful life Then you lost all your money, you cracked up your car You yelled at your favorite wife You go to bed and you wait for Jacob Marley He comes to make you feel brave But under his cloak he is nothing but smoke And a finger that points at your grave Christmas is interesting Like a knife in your heart Christmas is interesting How it tears you apart Christmas is interesting Like a stick in your eye It's so freaking interesting That it might make you cry |
