the innocent ones - hidden in plain view
Long goodbyes and second chances
Forgetting what we fight for
Forgiving all we lose
Cause we're losing it all
The way things happen
Doing all we do to fill up the quiet
Break the awkward silence
Consuming our lives we are spending our time
Keeping our distance
And speaking trivial and trial
But I'll find some way to cut myself open
Over and over again
And I'll find some way to bury it all
So let's be honest because I am through
Holding my breath as my lungs breathe for you
The air is too thin inside this room
I need this like water in my lungs
We're drowning in silence
I'm biting my restless tongue
Cause we're too consumed and too shallow
playing the victims
Playing the innocent ones
But I'll find some way to cut myself open
Over and over again
And I'll find some way to bury it all
So let's be honest because I am through
Holding my breath as my lungs breathe for you
The air is too thin inside this room
I'm taking my life away from you
So lets be honest because I am through
Breaking my heart as my veins bleed for you
The air is too thin inside this room
So go breathe in the air
Leave me gasping for air
Just go and breathe
Everything I am

i will follow you into the dark - death cab for cutie
Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light
Or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
And illuminate the "No"s
On their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In catholic school
As vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised
By a lady in black
And I held my tongue
As she told me, "Son,
Fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
And illuminate the "No"s
On their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me
Have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about
Because we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
And illuminate the "No"s
On their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

near to you - a fine frenzy
He and I had something beautiful
But so dysfunctional, it couldn't last
I loved him so but I let him go
‘Cause I knew he'd never love me back
Such pain as this
Shouldn't have to be experienced
I'm still reeling from the loss,
Still a little bit delirious
Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.
You and I have something different
And I’m enjoying it cautiously
I’m battle scarred, I am working oh so hard
To get back to who I used to be
He’s disappearing
Fading suddenly
I’m so close to being yours
Won’t you stay with me
Please
Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.
I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I belong
Where you are
Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
Though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.

jessie's song - hit the lights
Jessie, don't you hide,
Don't you close your eyes
I love it when you blush, you blush
Don't you love the way,
I pull away when you lean in towards my lips
I love the way you kiss.
Put your hands in my sweater,
It's cold outside, it's cold outside
Baby, put your hands in my sweater,
It's cold outside, it's cold outside.
So strike a match, I'll light your fire
Are you warm enough? I need to know.
And if you get out of control,
I'll be the first one there, to put you out.
Meet me outside at 8:55,
We'll make it a date, so don't be late.
I'll rub your arms to keep you warm
It's the longest night of the year, it's the coldest night of the year
and i'll keep you warm
[two, three, four]
Put your hands in my sweater,
It's cold outside, it's cold outside
Baby, put your hands in my sweater,
It's cold outside, it's cold outside.
So strike a match, I'll light your fire
Are you warm enough? I need to know.
And if you get out of control,
I'll be the first one there, to put you out.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooooooooooh.
So strike a match, I'll light your fire
Are you warm enough? I need to know.
And if you get out of control,
I'll be the first one there, to put you out.

where i belong - motion city soundtrack
Hello there, how you doin'?
I've got all these thoughts just floating through my brain
They bump and they collide and cause a flurry of confusion and it's... gettin' on my nerves
I try to hold myself together
Fighting off this mental weather, when I can
(Sometimes I do)
But this shitstorm's never ending
And the atmospheric pressure's calling for rain
This is what I've got going on
This is where I belong tonight
It's chaos in the courthouse
And the left side's all upset because the right side wants a summer home and knows we can't afford it
I try to mediate between this constant Tug-O-War machine
But wind up in a never ending game of Telephone
There's so much going on
And I just need 7 minutes to calm myself back down
Now I forgot where I was
Was it me we were talking about?
This is what I feared from the start
I keep falling apart!
What's goin' on? Is this where I belong tonight?
(What's goin' on tonight?)
What's goin' on? Is this where I belong tonight?
(What's goin' on?)
(I can't stand)
I can't stand the thought of losing sentences and every island of words
(I can't stand)
I can't stand the thought of losing everything I ever thought that I knew
This is where I run out of words that describe how I'm so damn hurt
This is where I fumble and fold and take what I'm told
What's goin' on? Is this where I belong tonight?
(What's goin' on tonight?)
What's goin' on? Is this where I belong tonight?
(What's goin' on tonight?)
What's goin' on? Is this where I belong tonight?
(What's goin' on tonight?)
What's goin' on? Is this where I belong tonight?
(What's goin' on?)
(I can't stand)
I can't stand the thought of losing sentences and every island of words
(I can't stand)
I can't stand the thought of losing everything I ever thought that I knew

reason why - rachael yamagata
I think about how it might have been
We'd spend our days travelin'
It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
And we can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbyes
You can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast, or whatever I find my place
I'll track you on the radio
And I'll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I come to you
It's not the same
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
So, steal the show
And do your best to cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you find whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind
But you only showed me the door
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why

the last something that ever meant anything - mayday parade
Well I thought that we could sit around and, talk for hours
about things I couldn't say to you
and things that we could never do and,
This conversation has had no face
when the words take days you can re-write and erase anything
you know my heart (so tell me honestly, did you ever really want this)
knows all these parts
and I'll borrow words from all my favourite paragraphs
to write a ballad while we say the things
we hope would mean the most to me
and
eachletter sent i have found in the pages
The hope for the days when i fell like I've lost everything
you know my heart (so tell me honestly, did you ever really want this?)
knows all these parts (cause my jealous heart can't take that)
so I'll sing this song for every word that's come out wrong
But, I'll be ok (Is that what you want me to say)
It's called breakup
Cause it's broken
yeah, I'll be ok (is that what you want me to say)
It's called breakup
Cause it's broken
I'll be ok
Is that what you want me to say
It's called Breakup
Cause it's broken
(repeats)
(singing)-I'll be ok, is that what you want me to say
Cause it's broken
and well, try so bad to tell me that you
meant that you were sorry and the
lines we said
never meant the words we meant
Cause it's broken
Every kiss that you could ever mean
The everything that takes you back
The chocolate rose, the kisses
Chase it, will you miss it?
I'll be ok
Is that what you want me to say
It's called Breakup
Cause it's broken
(x2)
Well I thought that we could sit around and, talk for hours
about things I couldn't say to you
and things that we could never do

star mile - joshua radin
old doubt and a girl by your side she's feeding your pride
as you go for a ride
down the star mile
world's rise as she lets you come in
a duo begins to the hollywood din
of the lonely
and all the gold dust in her eyes
won't reform into a ring
you had and lost the one thing
you kept in a safe place
remember the face
the girl who had made you her own
and how you left her alone
all's well at the base of the hill
you might need to fill
a prescription to kill
off the sirens
look down from your tower on high
and take in the night
look her right in the eye
she'll listen
and all the gold dust in her eyes
won't reform into a ring
you had and lost the one thing
you kept in a safe place
remember the face
the girl who had made you her own
and how you left her alone
life comes to those that'll choose
the regular news
over playing the blues with the light on
and if you burn the road that'll lead you
back to her in time
i'll watch you turn to stone
can't find the sublime
she's moving on without you
the tide breaks
you watch the stars fake
they gather you back to their homes
i guess it's better than being alone

landed - ben folds
We'd hit the bottom
I thought it was my fault
And in a way I guess it was
I'm just now finding out
What it was all about
We moved to the west coast
Away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still
I was still in love
But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's "bye-bye. Goodbye. I tried"
And I twisted it wrong just to make it right
Had to leave myself behind
And I've been flying high all night
So come pick me up
I've landed
The daily dramas
She made from nothing
So nothing ever made them right
She liked to push me
And talk me back down
Til I believed I was the crazy one
And in a way I guess I was
Until I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's "bye-bye. Goodbye. I tried"
Dragging the sea of a troubled mind
Had to leave myself behind
Singing bye-bye, goodbye I tried
If you wrote me off
I'd understand it
Cause I've been on
Some other planet
So come pick me up
I've landed
And you will be so
Happy to know
I've come alone
It's over
When I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye I tried
Down comes the reign of the telephone czar
It's ok to call
I will answer for myself
Come pick me up
Come pick me up
I've landed

can't take it - the all-american rejects
You speak to me
I know this will be temporary
You ask to leave
But I can't tell you that
I've had enough
I can't take it
This welcome is gone
And I've waited long enough
To make it
And if you're so strong
You might as well just do it alone
And I want you gone
Step up to me
I know that you've got something buried
I'll set you free
You set conditions but
I've had enough
I can't take it
This welcome is gone
And I've waited long enough
To make it
And if you're so strong
You might as well just do it alone
And I want you gone
Come back home
Won't you come back home
You step in line you've got a lot to prove
It comes and goes
Yeah it comes and goes
A step in time yeah it's a lot to move
Know this will temporary
I know this will be temporary
I know this will be but
I've had enough
I can't take it
This welcome is gone
And I've waited long enough
To make it
And if you're so strong
You might as well just do it alone
And I want you gone
I can't take it
This welcome is gone
And I've waited long enough
To make it
And if you're so strong
You might as well just do it alone
And I want you gone
