Kind of sad, but fits how I feel right now.
"City by the Sea" by Terminal

"Pollen and Salt," by Daphne Loves Derby

You've left me with such a silent world
The evenings are calm but I'm restless
And my breath has become as thin as the wind
Not even the mighty sky could fill the space you've left behind
Not even when it rains, no, nothing takes your place
An emptiness too great to fill

I have been holding my breath for too many nights in a row
And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me
You paint your dreams in reds and blues and greens
You're painting daffodils by the sea without me

Today in a breeze I sensed your perfume
But you were nowhere near
And in reverie, I felt you holding me
Even in my dreams, I shake from the fear
That you've been swept away by the rhythm of the waves
And their whisper in your ears

I have been holding my breath for too many nights in a row
And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me
You paint your dreams in reds and blues and greens
You're painting daffodils by the sea without me

I would give away my sweetest memories
If I could just be with you again, be with you again

I have been holding my breath for too many nights in a row
And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me
You paint your dreams in reds and blues and greens
You're painting daffodils growing by the sea without me
Last night, I dreamed you were with me
And finally, I could breathe

"Incomplete Lullaby," by Lisa Mitchell

Like a turning head
Like a second look
Like a burning leaf of an open book

Like a pounding sea
Like a messy crime
When your eyes first met with mine

Like a broken word
Like a tragic smile
Like a thousand steps or a single mile

Like a lonely chance
Like a savage glow
When you turned and said hello

I was just about to call
There were flowers on the ceiling
You left me feeling

Like a fading voice
Like a closing door
Like a dozen lies and a dozen more

Like a twisted tongue
Like distant bike
When we broke out in the dark

The stars looked like burning sparks
The lights were warm but chilling
You left me feeling

Tired
Could not close my eyes
On fire
But frozen inside
To run or to hide
Speechless my words could not melt
Whisper I wanted to shout
With out you I felt

Like a fleeting thought
Like a double eight
Like a gentle fear of a warming taste

Like a placid breath
Like a cooling blow
When you stopped and held me close

Inside I nearly froze
Your touch is almost healing
You left me feeling

Tired
Could not close my eyes
On fire
But frozen inside
To run or to hide
Speechless my words could not melt
Whisper I wanted to shout
With out you I felt

Like a setting sun
Like a last goodbye
Like an incomplete lullaby

"Neopolitan Dreams," by Lisa Mitchell

You'll go and I’ll be okay,
I can dream the rest away.
Its just a little touch of fate, it will be okay.
It sure takes its precious time, but it’s got rights and so have I.

I turn my head up to the sky
I focus one thought at a time
I do not let the little thieves under my tightly buttoned sleeve
It couldn’t be a longer time, I feel like I am walking blind
I have no idle time

There are no legible signs

I like the way that you talk
I like the way that you walk
It’s hard to recreate, such an individual gait

You wait your turn in the queue
You say your sorries and thankyous
I don’t think you’re ever
A hundred percent in the room
You’re not in the room

Deepest, of the dark nights
here lies, the highest of highs
Neopolitan Dreams, stretching out to the sea

You wait your turn in the queue,
You say your sorries and thankyous
I don’t think you’re ever
A hundred percent in the room
You’re not in the room

"Winter Song," by Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareilles

This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea
My voice a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love...

They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow
Or so I have been told
They say we'll bury fall
Just like a distant stall
I simply cannot hold

Is love alive? Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
'Cause you're not where you belong
Inside my arms

I still believe in summer days
The seasons always change
And life will find a way
I'll be your harvester of light
And send it out tonight
So we can start again

Is love alive? Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
'Cause you're not where you belong
Inside my heart

This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea
My love a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?
Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?
Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?
Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?
Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?
Is love alive? Is love alive?

"Skinny Love," by Bon Iver

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

"Someone Else's Life," by Joshua Radin

Somehow, I'm leading someone else's life
Cut a star down with my knife
And right now, I still see the way the moon
Plays this tune, though our lights died

My hands shake, my knees quake
It's every day, the same way
But then came you, then there's you
I keep your picture in my worn-through shoes
Then there's you, then came you
When I'm lost, I look at my picture of you

And somehow, I'll make tonight our own
I'll show you every way I've grown since I met you
And right now, I'll be the boy in your next song
I'll learn the parts and play along, if you let me

My hands shake, my knees quake
It's every day, the same way
But then came you, then there's you
I keep your picture in my worn-through shoes
Then there's you, then came you
When I'm lost, I look at my picture of you

If you let me, I'll show the world to you
Yes if you let me, I'll know just what to do

'Cause then came you, then there's you
I keep your picture in my worn-through shoes
When I'm lost, in your eyes, I see a way for me

"I'd Rather be With You," by Joshua Radin

Sitting here on this lonely dock
Watch the rain play on the ocean top
All the things I feel I need to say
I can't explain in any other way

I need to be bold, need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you were naturally the one to make it so easy
When you showed me the truth, yeah, I'd rather be with you
Say you want the same thing, too

Now here's the sun, come to dry the rain
Warm my shoulders and relieve my pain
You're the one thing that I'm missing here
With you beside me, I no longer fear

I need to be bold, need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you were naturally the one to make it so easy
When you showed me the truth, yeah, I'd rather be with you
Say you want the same thing, too

I could have saved so much time for us
Had I seen the way to get to where I am today
You waited on me for so long, so now, listen to me say

I need to be bold, need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you were naturally the one to make it so easy
When you showed me the truth, yeah, I'd rather be with you
Say you want the same thing, too
Say you feel the way I do

Double-posting because I haven't listened to this song in so long that I'll forget about it if I don't do it now. Sue me :P.

"Wonderwall," by Oasis

Today is gonna be the day that they never throw it back to you
By now, you should have somehow realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
Back beat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

So I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
After all, you're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day but they'll never throw it back to you
By now, you should have somehow realized what you're not to do
And I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

So I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
After all, you're my wonderwall, so I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
I want you to save me

"Into My Arms," by Nick Cave

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candlew burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

"Where I Stood," by Missy Higgins

I don't know what I've done or if I like what I've become
Something told me to run and honey, you know me, it's all or none
There were sounds in my head, a little voice was whispering
That I should go and this should end, oh and I found myself listening

I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
She will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside

I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
She will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anything I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
This is what I have to do

'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
She who dares to stand where I stood

"Jenny Don't Be Hasty," by Paolo Nutini

You said you'd marry me if I was twenty-three
But I'm one knight you can't see if I'm only eighteen
Tell me, who makes these rules?
Obviously not you
Who are you answering to?

Oh, Jenny, don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me

I'll be around again to see these other men
That are more adequate in the age department
And I did not think you cared, there'd be no problems here
But now you're looking at me like you're disgusted
Then I'm definitely waiting for you to smile and change your mind
Then I'll say I'm sorry and I'll wrap my arms round your body
I really hope that you forgive in a hurry and don't just ask me to leave

Oh, Jenny, don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me
Oh, Jenny, you are crazy
First I'm perfect, then I'm lazy
And I was calling you my baby
Now it sounds like you just left me
And it kills me

Oh, Jenny, don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me
Oh, Jenny, you are crazy
First I'm perfect, then I'm lazy
And I was calling you my baby
Now it sounds like you just left me
And it kills me

The River - Bruce Springsteen

I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride

I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride

"First in Line," by Matthew Mayfield

I'll run my fingers through your hair tonight
There's no one else, I'm sure of this
I need you now

I'll give you all of me
I'll make you mine
If you'll take me and make me
Your first in line

I've made my home in your heart and your mind
And you laid your hands on my chest and
You pointed home

I'll give you all of me
I'll make you mine
If you'll take me and you'll make me
Your first in line

I've seen you, I've kissed you
In two hours, I've missed you
I'll take it, I'll make it
I'll give you all

I'll give you all of me
I'll make you mine
If you'll take me and you'll make me
Your first in line

Sensation washes over me
I can't describe it
Pain I felt so long ago
I don't remember
Tear a hole so I can see
My devastation
Feelings from so long ago
I don't remember

Holding on, to let them know
What's given to me, given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe

Blind your eyes to what you see
You can't embrace it
Leave it well enough alone
And don't remember
Cut your pride and watch it bleed
You can't deny it
Pain you know you can't ignore
I don't remember

Holding on, to let them know
What's given to me, given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe

If I can
Remember
To know this will
Conquer me
If I can
Just walk alone
And try to escape
Into me

I'm just holding on, to let them know
What's given to me, given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe

If I can
Remember
To know this will
Conquer me
If I can
Just walk alone
And try to escape
Into me.. Into me..

"Laughing With," by Regina Spektor

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor

No one laughs at God
When the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one’s laughing at God
When it’s gotten real late
And their kid’s not back from the party yet

No one laughs at God
When their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
No one’s laughing at God
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that they’re mistaken

No one laughs at God
When the cops knock on their door
And they say we got some bad news, sir
No one’s laughing at God
When there’s a famine or fire or flood

But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
Ha ha
Ha ha

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’ve lost all they’ve got
And they don’t know what for

No one laughs at God on the day they realize
That the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one’s laughing at God when they’re saying their goodbyes
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughing at God in hospital
No one’s laughing at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very
poor

No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
We’re all laughing with God

"Eet," by Regina Spektor

It’s like forgetting the words to your favorite song
You can’t believe it
You were always singing along
It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can’t remember
You try to feel the beat

Eet, eet, eet, eet
Eet, eet, eet, eet

You spent half of your life trying to fall behind
You’re using your headphones to drown out your mind
It was so easy, and the words so sweet
You can’t remember
You try to move your feet
Eet, eet, eet, eet
Eet, eet, eet, eet

Someone’s deciding whether or not to steal
He opens the window just to feel the chill
He hears that outside a small boy just starting to cry
‘Cause it’s his turn but his brother won’t let him try

It’s like forgetting the words to your favorite song
You can’t believe it
You were always singing along
It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can’t remember
You try to move your feet

It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can’t remember, you try to feel the beat

"Wild Horses," by The Rolling Stones

Childhood living is easy to do
The things that you wanted, I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

I know you dreamed a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday

If There's A Rocket Tie Me To It - Snow Patrol

Two weeks later like a surplus reprieve
I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve
I wound it round and round my finger so tight
It turned purple and a pulse formed inside

And I knew the beat 'cause it matched your own beat
I still remember it from our chest to chest and feet to feet
The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush
Of ovens, aeroplanes and of distant car horns

A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry
A pulse your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember
I break you don't, I was always set to self-destruct though
The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music

I said I knew the beat 'cause it matched your own beat
It's become my engine my own source of heat
The sea between us only amplifies the sound waves
Every hum and echo and crash paints my cave

A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry
A pulse your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember
I break you don't, I was always set to self-destruct though
The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music

A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry
A pulse your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember
I break you don't, I was always set to self-destruct though
The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music

"A Case of You," by Joni Mitchell

Just before our love got lost, you said
I am as constant as a northern star
And I said, constant in the darkness
Where's that?
If you want me, I'll be in the bar

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
And your face sketched on it twice

You are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
I could drink a case of you, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet, oh, I would still be on my feet

I am a lonely painter, I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil and I'm drawn to those who aren't afraid
I remember that time you told me, you said that love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine, 'cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines, from time to time

You are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
I could drink a case of you, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet, oh, I would still be on my feet

I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours, she knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds, and she said, color go to him
Stay with him if you can, but be prepared to bleed
But you are in my blood, you're my holy wine
You taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet, I'd still be on my feet

Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis

Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain
Time starts to pass before you know it you're frozen

But something happened for the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground, found something true
And everyone's looking 'round, thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear but they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater than the rush
That comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness I see your face
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy
Maybe, maybe

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it's draining all of me
Oh, they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars for everyone to see

I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
