"Set the Fire to the Third Bar" - Snow Patrol I find the map and draw a straight line Over rivers, farms, and state lines The distance from 'A' to where you'd be It's only finger-lengths Jobby that I see I touch the place where I'd find your face My finger in creases of distant dark places I hang my coat up in the first bar There is no peace that I've found so far The laughter penetrates my silence As drunken men find flaws in science Their words mostly noises Ghosts with just voices Your words in my memory Are like music to me I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold ground I, I pray that something picks me up And sets me down in your warm arms After I have travelled so far We'd set the fire to the third bar We'd share each other like an island Until exhausted, close our eyelids And dreaming, pick up from The last place we left off Your soft skin is weeping A joy you can't keep in I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold ground And I, I pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your warm arms I've been in Puerto Rico for a month, and my boyfriend sent me this song the other day. And it pretty much summed up everything. Cheesy right? I find myself totally okay with it. |

Four Strong Winds Four strong winds that blow lowly, Seven seas that run high, All those things that don't change, Come what may. but our good times are all gone, And I'm bound for moving on. I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way. Think I'll go out to Alberta, Weather's good there in the fall. I got some friends that I can go a'working for, Still I wish you'd change your mind If I asked you one more time, But we've been through that a hundred times or more. Four strong winds that blow lowly, Seven seas that run high, All those things that don't change, Come what may. but our good times are all gone, And I'm bound for moving on. I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way. If I get there before the snow flies, And if things are looking good, You could meet me if I send you down the fare. But by then it would be winter there ain't much for you to do And the winds sure can blow cold way out there Four strong winds that blow lonely, Seven seas that run high, All those things that don't change, Come what may. but our good times are all gone, And I'm bound for moving on. I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way. Written by Ian Tyson and sung by many, I like Neil Young's version the best. |

^ props for reviving this thread. 'tis a good one. Quote: "Half Life" Imogen Heap
I knew that I'd get like this again That's why I try to keep at bay Be a hundred percent when I'm with you and then A perfect heart's length away The stickler is you've played not one beat wrong You never promised me anything Even sat me down, warned me just how they fall And I knew the odds were I'd never win And here I am It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life My self-worth measured in text back tempo It's been 2 days and 8 minutes too slow There may well be others but I still like to pretend That I'm the one you really want to grow old with You've got a schedule to stick to Got a world to keep sweet It's so much to everyone all the time Will you ever slow down? Will I ever come first? The universe contracts decide It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life You know you'll never be lonely You know you'll always be loved And maybe you'll never need more than that Of the sad place that loves, what's to become of us? Does it even register on your conscience? Along for one last showdown From a box in the crowd, air compressed tight to explode I'm clenching my ticket to the only way out As you disappear in a puff of smoke It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life |

Quote: Boys Like Girls
Up Against the Wall It's over Look out below And I'm wasted I still taste it Yeah it's so hard to let go So breathe in now And breathe it out The forecast A car crash It's looking like another... Breakdown, rebound This could be my last goodbye You cross your heart, I hope to die And I can't deny your eyes You know I try to read between the lines I saw a warning sign And then you threw me up against the wall Who said that it's better to have loved and lost? I wish that I had never loved at all No rewinds No second times And I won't break I won't waste, everything you left behind So don't follow Just let it go The weather's, been better Don't let it be another... Breakdown, rebound This could be my last goodbye You cross your heart, I hope to die And I can't deny your eyes You know I try to read between the lines I saw a warning sign And then you threw me up against the wall Who said that it's better to have loved and lost? I wish that I had never loved at all All the nights you spent sitting nowhere out there on your own All the nights I waited by the phone when you were going in alone And all your different faces and all your different ways are making everything a mess And all I'm saying is that all your different places and all the complications led to this And I can't deny your eyes You know I try to read between the lines I saw a warning sign And then you threw me up against the wall Who said that it's better to have loved and lost? I wish that I had never loved And I can't deny your eyes You know I try to read between the lines I saw a warning sign And then you threw me up against the wall Who said that it's better to have loved and lost? I wish that I had never loved at all (Never loved at all) *sigh* I love this song. it's so very true. |

Skid Row - Wasted Time You and I together in our lives Sacred ties would never fray Then why can�t I let myself tell lies And watch you die every day I think back to the times When dreams were what mattered Tough talking youth naivete You said you never let me down But the horse stampedes and rages In the name of desperation Is it all just wasted time Can you look at yourself When you think of what You left behind Is it all just wasted time Can you live with yourself When you think of what You left behind Paranoid delusions they haunt you Where�s my friend I used to know He�s all alone He�s buried deep within a carcass Searching for a soul Can you feel me inside your heart As it�s bleeding Why can�t you belive you can�t be loved I hear you scream in agony And the horse stampedes and rages In the name of desperation Is it all just wasted time Can you look at yourself When you think of what You left behind Is it all just wasted time Can you live with yourself When you think of what You left behind You said you never let me down But the horse stampedes and rages In the name of desperation Is it all just wasted time Can you look at yourself When you think of what You left behind Is it all just wasted time Can you live with yourself When you think of what You left behind The sun will rise again The earth will turn to sand Creation�s colors seem to fade to grey And you�ll see the sickly hands of time Will write your final rhyme And end a memory I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy |

I sit tight, don't want to miss the show I hang on, don't want to miss my prime 'Cause time will fly, upon my baby's back Time will fly, upon my baby's back Stay a while, my baby wants me to Don't you go, my baby begs me so But tide will dry, upon my baby's back Tide will dry, upon my baby's back I get weak I get weary I miss sleep I get moody I'm in thoughts I write songs I'm in love I walk on Fingers crossed, my time is coming now Don't you go, my baby begs me so Time will fly, upon my baby's back Time will fly, upon my baby's back I get weak I get weary I miss sleep I get moody I'm in thoughts I write songs I'm in love I walk on the chorus makes me want to cry. i hesitate to say i'm in love, but, if i am, i don't want to be anymore. it's complicated and whatever. but this song is amazing either way...*sigh* |

I wish I was your favorite girl, I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world. I wish my smile was your favorite kind of smile I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style. I wish you couldn't figure me out, But you always wanted know what I was about. I wish you'd hold my hand when I was upset, I wish you'd never forget the look on my face when we first met. I know this is an unrequited love song, but I feel these exact lyrics fit for a father figure of mine. They mean a lot, honestly. Because I know I'm not his favorite, and I wish I were, however selfish that may be. |

V1 I'm just a step away I'm a just a breath away Losin my faith today JEN: fallin off the edge today I am just a man Not superhuman JEN: I'm not superhuman Someone save me from the hate Pre: It's just another war Just another family torn JEN: falling from my faith today Just a step from the edge Just another day in the world we live Chorus: I need a hero to save me now I need a hero JEN: save me now I need a hero to save my life A hero'll save me JEN: just in time V2 I gotta fight today To live another day Speakin my mind today JEN: my voice will be heard today I've gotta make a stand But I am just a man JEN: I'm not superhuman My voice will be heard today Pre: It's just another war Just another family torn JEN: my voice will be heard today It's just another kill The countdown begins to destroy ourselves Bridge: Who's gonna fight for what's right who's gonna help us survive we're in the fight of our lives JEN: and we're not ready to die Who's gonna fight for the weak Who's gonna make 'em believe I've got a hero JEN: I've got a hero Livin in me I'm gonna fight for what's right today I'm speaking my mind and if it kills me tonight JEN: I will be ready to die A hero's not afraid to give his life A hero's gonna save me just in time |

Jason Mraz - If It Kills Me How long can I go on like this, Wishing to kiss you, Before I rightly explode? And this double life I lead ain't healthy for me, In fact it makes me nervous. If I get caught I could be risking it all. Well baby, there's a lot I miss in case I'm wrong. Long story short, basically. This one verse of the song just sums up everything. |

Iiiiiiiieeeeeee Icky thump Who'da thunk? Sittin' drunk on a wagon to Mexico. Ah well, What a chump Well my head got a bump When I hit it on the radio. Redhead señorita Looking dead Came and said "need a bed?" En Español. I said "gimme a drink a water, I'm gonna 'sing around the collar' And I don't need a microphone." Icky thump with a lump in my throat Grabbed my coat And I was freaking I was ready to go! And I swear Besides the hair She had one white eye, One black(nk) stare Lookin' up Lyin' there. On the stand near her hand Was a candy cane Black rum, sugar cane, Dry ice (and) something strange. La la, la la la la la la la la la laaa laaa laaa White Americans, what? Nothing better to do? Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant too? who's usin' who? What should we do? Well you can't be a pimp And a prostitute too Icky thump, handcuffed to a bunk Robbed blind Looked around And there was nobody else Left alone I hit myself with a stone Went home And learned how to clean up after myself Icky Thump by the White Stripes |

Christmas Must Be Something More by Taylor Swift You'd see that today holds something special Something holy, not superficial So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives It's something we all try to ignore And put a wreath up on your door So here's something you should know that is for sure Christmas must be something more For Christmas. |

Fireflies by Owl City 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they tried to teach me how to dance A foxtrot above my head A sock hop beneath my bed A disco ball is just hanging by a thread My favorite par. |

Would you believe me if I told the reasons why, You can't rest and drink yourself to sleep at night? Not like it matters you can't escape don't even try, We'll speak what no one knows. "Oh, I've got to get to sleep." You lie awake and you hope it's all in your head, You're counting teeth with your tongue, "Are they all there?" There's no relief in the dark from what isn't there, But you don't feel alone. We are the ones you should be fearing, Come in the night and take your teeth away, Now sew up your mouth and go to sleep because, We'll be there soon to break, Your heart and spite your face. Now they're finally here and you know what they're looking for, With their empty grins they proceed in taking what you owe, And you move your lips but the words they just fall to the floor, So this is how it ends? Crawl to the mirror and see all that you've become, A grim reflection of all the things that you have done, You try to weep but no tears have or will ever come, So this is who you are? We are the ones you should be fearing, Come in the night and take your teeth away, Now sew up your mouth and go to sleep because, We'll be there soon to break, Your heart and spite your face. All the stars will burn out sometime, We hang by our own rope, All the stars will burn out sometime, We suffer from inward growth. We are the ones you should be fearing, Come in the night and take your teeth away, Now sew up your mouth and go to sleep because, We'll be there soon to break, Your heart and spite your face. - "The Ones" by Aesthetic Perfection My friend admits that this song reminds her of me... |
