Mix: Could You Let Me Go?
a couple songs about letting go
and a couple about holding on
♥ are for favorites
1. Far Away - Ingrid Michaelson ♥
When he walks right pass me
Then I finally see on this bar stool I can't stay
So I'm taking my frown to a far distant town
On an island in the blue bay
2. The Girl You Lost to Cocaine - Sia
I've stuck around, through thick and through thin
You cannot deny, I've always been in
But I've watched you stand, still as a snowman
But I don't see you change, you're always at meltdown
3. Isabelle - Gregory & the Hawk
I know just what to say
But it's incorrect to say it
How do I break it to him?
The death of one is staying
And all I think of now
Is a way to get under and a way to get out
Isabelle what can I do
With the knife pain it's causing you
4. If Winter Ends - Bright Eyes
But I fell for the promise of a life with a purpose
But I know that's impossible now
And so I drink to stay warm and to kill selected memories
Cause I just can't think anymore about that or about her tonight
5. Is It Wicked Not to Care? - Belle & Sebastian
Skipping tickets, making rhymes
Is that all that you believe in?
Wearing rags to make you pretty by design
Rusting armour for effect
It's not fun to watch the rust grow
For it will all be over when you're dead
But if there was a sequel
Would you love me as an equal?
Would you love me 'till I'm dead
6. My Beautiful Rescue - This Providence ♥
I've been dancing on the tops of buildings.
At the top of my lungs I'm singing you a song.
Don't you leave me alone.
My bones were shattered.
My pride lays shattered.
Well I'll trample my pride and tell the whole world.
To dance with me.
7. Take it Back - She & Him
I don't want your lovin' anymore
Let me live, oh let me live
It's not you who I sing for
So don't sit next to me
Sit by yourself
8. Barricade - Stars ♥
I found you on a Saturday,
And that was where I lost you
You had finally walked away
Because of what it cost you
Years later when I saw your face
In line to catch the morning train
You looked like you'd been softened
Like you never really loved the pain
9. The Unwinding Cable Car - Anberlin ♥♥
Emotive unstable you're like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices, but it's the choices that make us who we are
Go your own way, even seasons have changed
Just burn those new leaves over
So self-absorbed you've seemed to ignore the prayers that have already come about
10. Cannonball - Damien Rice ♥♥
There's still a little bit of your song in my ear
There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on
11. Nothing's Gonna Change Your Mind - Badly Drawn Boy
Take a time to take the break
Darling spread your wings
I stole all the roses that make your crown
Now it's easier
To just put aside the things that face us now
12. I'll Follow You Into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie ♥
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
It's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
13. Breathe Me - Sia
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe
