I wish you would step back from that, ledge my friend
You could,cut ties, with all the lies you've been livin' in And,if you don't want to see me again, I would understand I would understand The angry boy,a bit too insane,icing over a secret pain You know you don't belong You're the first to fight,you're way to loud You're a flash of light,on the burial shroud I know something's wrong Well everyone I know has got a reason To say Put the past away! I wish you would step back from that, ledge my friend You could,cut ties, with all the lies you've been livin' in And,if you don't want to see me again, I would understand I would understand Well,he's on the table,and he's gone to code And I do not think anyone knows,what they're doing here And your friends have left,you've been dismissed I never thought it would come to this....And I....Want you to know Everyone's got to face down the demons Maybe today,WE CAN PUT THE PAST AWAY |
"Amie," by Damien Rice Nothing unusual nothing strange Close to nothing at all The same old scenario the same old rain and there's no explosions here Then something unusual something strange comes from nothing at all I saw a spaceship fly by your window did you see it disappear? Amie come sit on my wall and read me the story of Of O Tell it like you still believe that the end of the century brings a change for you and me Nothing unusual nothing's changed Just a little older that's all You know when you've found it there's something I've learned 'cause you feel it when they take it away hey hey Then something unusual something strange comes from nothing at all But I'm not a miracle and you're not a saint just another soldier on a road to nowhere Amie come sit on my wall and read me the story of O tell it like you still believe that the end of the century brings a change for you and me Amie come sit on my wall and read me the story of o tell it like you still believe that the end of the century brings a change for you and me |
"Duet," by Rachael Yamagata and Ray LaMontagne Oh lover, hold on until I come back again For these arms are growing tired And my tales are wearing thin If you're patient, I will surprise When you wake up, I will have come All the anger will settle down And we'll go do all the things we should have done 'Cause I remember what we said when we lay down to bed I'll be here if you will only come back home Oh lover, I'm lost, because the road I've chosen beckons me away Oh lover, don't you roam, now I'm fighting words I never thought I'd say But I remember what we said as we lay down to bed I'll forgive you if you just come back home Oh lover, I'm old, you'll be out there And be thinking just of me And I will find you down the road And we'll return back home to where we're meant to be 'Cause I remember what we said as we lay down to bed We'll be back as soon as we make history |
"You Could Be Happy," by Snow Patrol. You could be happy and I won't know But you weren't happy the day I watched you go And all the things that I wished I had not said Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head Is it too late to remind you how we were But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur Most of what I remember makes me sure I should have stopped you from walking out the door You could be happy, I hope you are You made me happier than I'd been by far Somehow everything I own smells of you And for the tiniest moment it's all not true Do the things that you always wanted to Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do More than anything I want to see you, girl Take a glorious bite out of the whole world |
"Let It Be Me," by Ray LaMontagne There comes a time, a time in everyone's life When nothing seems to go their way When nothing seems to turn out right There may come a time you just can't seem to find your place For every door you open it seems like you get two slammed in your face That's when you need someone, someone that you, you can call When all your faith is gone and it feels like you can't go on Let it be me, let it be me, if it's a friend you need Let it be me, let it be me It feels you're always coming up last, pockets full of nothing Ain't got no chance, no matter where you turn You ain't got no place to stand, you reach out for something And they slap your hand, I remember all too well Just how it feels to be all alone, feels like you'd give anything For just a little place you could call your own That's when you need someone, someone that you, you can call When all your faith is gone and it feels like you can't go on Let it be me, let it be me, if it's a friend you need Let it be me, let it be me, let it be me, let it be me If it's a friend you need, let it be me, let it be me Let it be me -- I sing to this in shower all the time  .His voice is so husky that I can hardly hear how bad I am. |
"Our Song", by Dala.
I've got a feeling I call my music I've always wanted to share with you. It's in my heart and I'll never lose it. It's something that I was born to do. I've been silent for so long, The world is waiting for my song. La-la la la, la-la la la. There's a melody in you somewhere I know you hear it when you're alone. There's so much music already out there It's time for you to create your own. You've been silent for so long, The world is waiting for your song. La-la la la, la-la la la. We have all been hiding our voices. We have all got something to sing about. We've been silent for so long, The world is waiting for our song. |
Control - Puddle of Mudd
  LANGUAGE!

"Hallelujah," by Leonard Cohen. Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Baby I have been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you. I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light In every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though It all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah |
Sweet and Low Augustana Anywhere you go, anyone you meet, Remember that your eyes can be your enemies, I said, well hell is so close And heaven's out of reach I ain't giving up quite yet, I've got too much to lose Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl Hold me down, and I'll carry you home Rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine, The wind is gonna blow, the water's gonna rise She said, when the day comes, look into my eyes No one's giving up quite yet, We've got too much to lose Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl Hold me down, And I'll carry you all the way, You say you're fine But you're still young, and out of line All I need is to turn around, To make it last, to make it count You're gonna make the same mistakes That put my momma in her grave I don't wanna be alone Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl Hold me down, and I'll carry you home |

Really? Me too! Damien Rice is one of my favourites. He had a show here in Brazil and when "Cheers Darlin'" was on, he invited a lady and a dude to drink wine onstage while he sang. He's so cool! |
His voice and his lyrics are amazing. He's probably my favourite artist, and if not my number one favourite, my number two. I wish I could see one of his shows.
|
Yeah..and he's so original. That's what I like most about him. What is your favourite D.R. song?
Mine is a tie between Cheers Darlin', The Animals Were Gone, The Blower's Daughter and Dogs |
Hm, I lovelovelove "Amie", and I think it's just absolutely beautiful, but I also adore "The Blower's Daughter", "Grey Room", "Accidental Babies", and every other song he's made.
"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 love Almost Lover!!! I like the first music video better than the second one though.

"Belief," by Gavin Degraw Belief makes things real, makes things feel, feel alright Belief makes things true, things like you, you and I Tonight, you arrested my mind When you came to my defense With a knife in the shape of your mouth In the form of your body With the wrath of a god Oh, you stood by me, belief Builds from scratch, doesn't have to relax, it doesn't need space Long live the queen, and I'll be the king in the collar of grace Oh, tonight you arrested my mind When you came to my defense With a knife in the shape of your mouth In the form of your body With the wrath of a god Oh, you stood by me, belief I'm gonna yell it from the rooftops I'll wear a sign on my chest That's the least I could do It's the least I can do Tonight you arrested my mind When you came to my defense With a knife in the shape of your mouth In the form of your body With the wrath of a god Oh, you stood by me And I'll stand by my belief Oh, I'll stand by my belief |
No Such Thing
John Mayer "Welcome to the real world", she said to me Condescendingly Take a seat Take your life Plot it out in black and white Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings And the drama queens I'd like to think the best of me Is still hiding Up my sleeve They love to tell you Stay inside the lines That something's better On the other side I wanna run through the halls of my high school I wanna scream at the Top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing as the real world just a lie you've got to rise above So the good boys and girls take the so called right track Faded white hats Grabbing credits Maybe transfers They read all the books but they can't find the answers And all of our parents They're getting older I wonder if they've wished for anything better While in their memories Tiny tragedies They love to tell you Stay inside the lines But something's better On the other side I wanna run through the halls of my high school I wanna scream at the Top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing as the real world Just a lie you got to rise above I am invincible (x3) As long as I'm alive I wanna run through the halls of my high school I wanna scream at the Top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing as the real world Just a lie you've got to rise above I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion I'm gonna bust down the double doors And when I stand on these tables before you You will know what all this time was for |
"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 I used it as part of my speech on The Time Traveler's Wife, because I had a different interpretation of it to other people. |
^You get to do speeches on books like that for school?! So not fair! I've only gotten to do a speech on a book of my choosing (Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close) once throughout my entire high school career.
"A Song For You," by Donny Hathaway I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes I've acted out my life on stages with ten thousand people watching But we're alone now, and I'm singing this song to you I know your image of me is what I hope to be I treated you unkindly, but darling, can't you see? There's no one more important to me, baby, can't you see through me? We were alone, and I was singing this song to you You taught me precious secrets of a true love withholding nothing You came out in front when I was hiding But now I'm so much better, and if my words don't come together Just listen to the melody, 'cause my love is in there, hiding I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for my life, you're a friend of mine And when my life is over, remember when we were together We were alone, and I was singing this song to you We were alone, and I was singing this song to you We were alone, and I was singing this song to you |

"Where the Road Meets the Sun," by Katie Herzig and Matthew Perryman Jones Angel wings spread over water-worn wishes Guarding the dreams and the things left unsaid Here we are wandering, aimlessly roaming Lovers who linger and never forget And when it's done we will walk where the road meets the sun Waiting for you by the Santa Maria How long must I stay with these letters from you? I don't know whether we'll end up together But I'll always know that our love is true And when it's done we will walk where the road meets the sun Don't disappear, darling, I want you Don't leave me here, and when the day comes I'll meet you here 'cause I know that wishes come true I'm finding my way back to you Angel wings spread over water-worn wishes Guarding the dreams and the things left unsaid And when it's done we will walk where the road meets the sun And when it's done we will walk where the road meets the sun -- My favorite song EVER. |
My Immortal by Evanescence, it's a really beautiful, emotional song...
I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave Your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase [Chorus:] When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me You used to captivate me By your resonating light Now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held you hand through all of these years But you still have All of me |
"Chelsea Hotel No. 2" by Leonard Cohen I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, you were talking so brave and so sweet, giving me head on the unmade bed, while the limousines wait in the street. Those were the reasons and that was New York, we were running for the money and the flesh. And that was called love for the workers in song probably still is for those of them left. Ah but you got away, didn't you babe, you just turned your back on the crowd, you got away, I never once heard you say, I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you and all of that jiving around. I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel you were famous, your heart was a legend. You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception. And clenching your fist for the ones like us who are oppressed by the figures of beauty, you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music." And then you got away, didn't you babe... I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best, I can't keep track of each fallen robin. I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, that's all, I don't even think of you that often. |
PixCii - that is one of my all time favourites :D
Make This Go On Forever - Snow Patrol Please don't let this turn into something it's not I can only give you everything I've got I can't be as sorry as you think I should But I still love you more than anyone else could All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love We have got through so much worse than this before What's so different this time that you can't ignore You say it is much more than just my last mistake And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love And I don't know where to look My words just break and melt Please just save me from this darkness Please just save me from this darkness And I don't know where to look My words just break and melt Please just save me from this darkness Please just save me from this darkness |
