my song is love, my song is love unknown
and I’m on fire for you, clearly, you don’t have to be alone,
you don’t have to be on your own
and I’m not gonna take it back,
and I’m not gonna say “I don’t mean that”
you’re the target that I’m aiming at,
but I’m nothing on my own
got to get that message home
no more wishing // hayley taylor
wake up, I’m trying to show you, I wanna come clean
you mean more than you should mean
but I’m willing to be the one that you put on a pedestal,
the one that you see in your dreams,
the one that you hide your true self from,
the one you want to please
don’t write me off // music and lyrics
it’s never been easy for me
to find words to go along with a melody,
but this time there’s actually something on my mind
so please forgive these few brief awkward lines
[…]
and though I know, based on my track record,
I might not seem like the safest bet,
all I’m asking you is don’t write me off just yet
follow through // gavin degraw
so since you wanna be with me,
you’ll have to follow through with every word you say, and I,
all I really want is you, you to stick around
I’ll see you everyday, but you have to follow through
say it again // natasha bedingfield
no need to translate ‘cause my eyes give me away
even though my lips don’t say
should be so easy but my head gets in the way,
all the things that I wanna tell you:
you’re the most perfect yet,
most definitely that I’ve met
and I wonder if you know that’s how I feel about you
I hope you know
unsingable name // mike doughty
I want to be your absolute ultimate,
want to be your only one now,
feel the waves come up from your sulkiness,
feel the waves you radiate now
sweet and plain, unsingable name
that rings in my mind now, that strums me like a string
chime, unsingable name over everything
better together // jack Johnson
there’s no combination of words I could put
on the back of a postcard,
no song I could sing but I can try for your heart
[…]
love is the answer at least for most
of the questions in my heart, like: why are we here?
where do we go and how come it’s so hard?
it’s not always and sometimes life can be deceiving,
I’ll tell you one thing: it’s always better when we’re together
catch your wave // the click five
well, every princess has her knight
and I’m still in it for the fight, not givin’ in,
I’m gonna win, win, win, I’m gonna win ‘cause
hey, girl, I wanna catch your wave,
hey, girl, I wanna drift away with you,
hey, girl, you got an undertow,
hey, girl, hey, girl, don’t wanna let you go
a billion odd people // dolour
so I’ll put away my feelings in a shoebox in the closet,
now the door barely shuts: there is so much to hide away,
‘cause there’s a 150,000 people better than me
no, there’s 100,000,000 people that are better for you
no, there’s a billion (odd) people that are better than me,
but you don’t know them
and they don’t care about you
