I'VE BEEN MEANING TO TELL YOU, a richie/eddie mix
01. blood pact - sea wolf
I can't remember where I went before
I didn't know if I could make it through the door
my hair was getting long, and hard to recognise
I made a blood pact, and then I stepped outside
there's so many things I wish I'd said
and let out all of the bullshit in my head
even though I know, if I show you now
it might be too late, nothing to lose now
I don't know what's ahead
but oh, there's nowhere else to go
02. fireside - arctic monkeys
there's all these secrets that I can't keep
like in my heart there's that hotel suite and you lived there so long,
it's kinda strange now you're gone
I'm not sure if I should show you what I've found
has it gone for good?
or is it coming back around?
that place on memory lane you liked still looks the same
but something about it's changed
03. I still do - I Am Kloot
when I was a child
I looked up to the sky
thought I saw you and I
in the clouds passing by
when I was a boy
I looked out at the sea
thought I saw you and me
in the waves on a breeze
and I still do
04. wolf parade - ghost pressure
heard a call from the empty street
an empty room, empty seats
I know they're dancing there invisibly
little vision come shake me up, shake me up
you said your heart was a swarm of bees
I hear them buzzing there invisibly
and this night was for you and me
walking through a little mystery
and you just had to know
05. baby, we'll be fine - the national
all night I lay on my pillow and pray
for my boss to stop me in the hallway
lay my head on his shoulder and say
son, I've been hearing good things
I wake up without warning and go flying around the house
in my sauvignon fierce, freaking out
I'm so sorry for everything
lay me back down where I wanted to stay
say, look at me
baby, we'll be fine
all we gotta do is be brave and be kind
06. seven - taylor swift
please, picture me, in the trees
over the creek
I was too scared to jump in
but I, I was high in the sky
are there still beautiful things?
cross your heart, won't tell no other
and though I can't recall your face
I still got love for you
just like a folk song,
our love will be passed on
07. there goes our love again - white lies
elate my heart, and take the time
that's burning at the back of my mind
cause I'm broken and blind
and holding out the drawer of desire
there goes our love again
I didn't go far, and I came home
home is a desperate end
carry me to love again
cocoon my heart and bring my calm,
hushing at the fear and alarm
I know you're open and armed
just trying to pick my feelings undone
08. people as places as people - modest mouse
it's hard to get hold of
and hard to let go
always something we look for
from the day we were born
instead, we're the people that we wanted to know
and we're the places that we wanted to go
all this scrambling around
hunting high and then low
looking for the face love
or somewhere to go
I hardly have places that I need to go
'cause you're the places that I wanted to go
09. suburbs - arcade fire
you always seemed so sure,
that one day we'd be fighting in a suburban war
sometimes I can't believe it,
I'm moving past the feeling again
kids wanna be so hard
but in my dreams we're still screaming and running through the yard
under the overpass, in the parking lot we're still waiting, it's already past
so move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
cause it's already past
in my dreams we're still screaming
10. birch tree - foals
the city I was born in I left a long time ago
and we lost touch, grew apart, my friend
my heart's an old pole dancer, troubled romancer, you know
it's a subway chancer, a question with no answer
come meet me by the river, see how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river, see how time it flows
oh, now the river runs away but I chase it
time holds no fear when I turn round to face it
11. summer skeletons - radical face
although we were miles away
we were infinite
you were something that would always be around
lost out among the trees
our hands scraped the bark
you still had bloody knees, yrom your spill in the dark
we were both laughing then
while carving bad words in the wood
we had no need to speak
our fears had no teeth, hearts were still blind
12. two slow dancers - mitski
does it smell like a school gymnasium in here?
it's funny how you always remember
it's funny how I still forgot
and the ground has been slowly pulling us back down
we get a few years and then it wants us back
it would be a hundred times easier
if we were young again
but as it is, and it is
two slow dancers, last ones out
13. in the wind - lord huron
you've been in the wind, you've been on my mind
you are the purest soul I've ever known in my life
when you left I was far too young
to know you're worth more than the moon and the sun
you are still alive when I look to the sky in the night
death is a wall but it can't be the end
you are my protector and my best friend
14. the predatory wasp of the palisades is out to get us - sufjan stevens
oh I am not quite sleeping, oh I am fast in bed
there on the wall in the bedroom creeping
I see a wasp with her wings outstretched
oh how I meant to tease him
oh how I meant no harm
touching his back with my hand I kiss him
I see the wasp on the length of my arm
I can't explain the state that I'm in
the state of my heart, he was my best friend
my friend is gone, he ran away
I can tell you, I love him each day
