Touched by VAST
http://www.sendspace.com/file/3lgxm0 touched, you say that i am too
so much, of what you say is true
i'll never find someone quite like you again
i'll never find someone quite like you, like you
the razors and the dying roses
plead i don't leave you alone
the demi-gods and hungry ghosts
oh god, god knows i'm not at home
i'll never find someone quite like you again
i'll never find someone quite like you again
i, i looked into your eyes and saw
a world that does not exist
i looked into your eyes and saw
a world i wish i was in
i'll never find someone quite as touched as you
i'll never love someone quite the way
that I loved you
Signal Fire by Snow Patrol
http://www.sendspace.com/file/zrqpxh The perfect worlds never crossed my mind,
Cuz there was nothin' in there but you.
I felt every ounce of me screaming out,
But the sound was trapped deep in me.
All I wanted just sped right past me,
While I was rooted fast to the earth,
I could be stuck here for a thousand years,
Without your arms to drag me out.
[Chorus:]
There you are standing right in front of me
There you are standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close, cuz I need you to guide me to safety.
No, I won't wait forever [x2]
In the confusion and the aftermath,
You are my signal fire.
The only resolution and the only joy,
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes.
[Chorus (x2)]
No, I won't wait forever [x3]
Open Your Eyes by DJ Encore
http://www.sendspace.com/file/wr1gx0 You can't keep me holding on
I've given you some time
I can't make you come along
If you don't share your mind
Everytime you close your eyes
I know you feel the same
Everything you try to fight
Is drowning in the rain
What does it take, to open your eyes
Don't let if fade
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain
Open your eyes, don't let me wait
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain
Tell me why you turn away whenever I believe
Finally you've come to say I'm everything you need
Everytime you close your eyes
I know you feel the same
Everything you try to fight
Is drowning in the rain
What does it take to open your eyes
Don't let it fade
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain
Open your eyes, don't let me wait
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain
I'm not asking of you, to give yourself away
I just want you to hear the words I say
It's only a matter of time x4
What does it take to open your eyes
Don't let it fade
You've got to let the sun shine through the rain
Open your eyes don't let me wait
You've got to let the sunshine through the rain

Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all i see
Ooo you make me live now honey

Cover me by Candlebox
http://www.sendspace.com/file/6b0wyj Cover Me lyrics
Cover me
When I walk alone
Cover me
When my stance it stumbles home
Cover me
We'll trip on through the sands of time
And cover me
'Cause I've been branded
I've lost my mind
Lost my mind
But you'll cover me yeah
Won't you give me shelter from the storm
Over me
You fade into the night
Over me
You melt into the light
Over me
You will fear the things I need
Over me
You will feel the hate I breed
You're under me
And you will question my authority
You're under me
And you will lose almost everything
You're under me
You will feel the pain I wanna bring you
You're under me
You never change
Never change a fucking thing
Not a, a fucking thing
But you - you'll cover me
Yeah, give me shelter from the storm
Cover me
cover me
Won't you
Cover me
Cover me
Don't you
Cover me
Cover me
Give me shelter from the storm
People push & shove on time
I give it to you
What I have is what is mine I feel it for you
You've got to cover me
You've got to cover me
People take & people steal
I have it for you
What I have is what I fear
I fear it for you
You've got to cover me
'Cause I've been branded a broken man
Broken man
But you'll cover me, yes
Won't you give me
Give me shelter from the storm
Cover me
Cover me
Won't you
Cover me
Cover me
Don't you
Cover me
Cover me
Give me shelter from the storm
Slow Dance by John Legend
http://www.sendspace.com/file/toavox Yea, sing it with me yall, oh yea yea
Can we wait just a minute
Slow it down for a minute now baby
Your talkin loud
Your wilding out
Don't seem like my old lady
Lets go and play the song we used to play
Can we reignite the flame
Cause things just ain't the same
We can talk about the baby
We can talk until we're crazy
We can focus on it now
Or we can focus on it later
We can start another fight
We can argue and fuss all night
But I propose that we go to floor and we slow dance
Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with you man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
And let the music make you move
Move yea
Can we wait just a minute
Turn that tv off for a minute
Now politics and talkin shit aint really none of my buisness
Lets go and play the songs we used to play
On that old school radio
Let the music soothe your soul
Forget about the world
Im groovin with my girl
Froret about the news
Lets put on our dancin shoes
Lets not talk about the war
Do we know what they fightin for
I propose that we go to the floor and we slow dance
[these lyrics are found on
http://www.songlyrics.com] Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with you man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
And let the music make you move
Move yea yea
Move yea yea
I love it
I love it
I love it we're slow dancin together
I love it
I love it
I love it we're slow dancin together
I love it
I love it
I love it we're slow dancin together
I love it
I love it I propose that we go to floor and we slow dance
Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with your man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
Let the music make you move
