Aug 29, 2008 21:35

oo1. RED † nanuchka
Do you remember
That night in the garden?
We exchanged
Little words
Little kisses
Under the pale moonlight

Do you remember
Queen of hearts in your card deck?
Placing her in in my pocket
You said, "I'll love you forever"

Red
Is the color of my heart
On the side road
Being hit by your charm

And you remember
How you told me then
That you would be my man oh man na na

Red
Is the color of my heart
On the side road
Being hit by your charm

Take it now
We will need it tomorrow
Life is easier to swallow
When Feeding on love

oo2. HEARTBEAT † scouting for girls
Am I alone in your heart?
Have I hope with your heart?
She's such a teaser, she's such a star.
Give me a reason or gimme a chance.

Am I alone in your heart, or am I alone...?
It tears me apart.
Am I alone?

Doing all I can do, just to be close to you.
Every time that we meet, I skip a heartbeat.
Always up for a laugh, she's a pain in the arse.
Every time that we meet, I skip a heartbeat.

Give me an evening, or give me a night.
I'll show you the time, of your life.
I'll walk you home safe, from the dark.
I'll give you my jacket, I'll give you my heart.

But she won't come dancing tonight, She's having the time of her life.
Am I alone?
Doing all I can do, just to be close to you.
Every time that we meet, I skip a heartbeat.
Always up for a laugh, she's a pain in the arse.
Every time that we meet, I skip a heartbeat.

I do love, she does heartbreak.
I did love, till she broke my heart.
I do love, she does heartbreak.
I did love, till she broke my heart.
I do love, she does heartbreak.
I did love, till she broke my heart.
I do love, she does heartbreak.
I did love, till she broke my heart.

Doing all I can do, just to be close to you.
Every time that we meet, I skip a heartbeat.
Always up for a laugh, she's a pain in the arse.
Every time that we meet, I skip a heartbeat.
I skip a heartbeat for you.

Doing all I can do, just to be close to you.
Every time that we meet, I skip a heartbeat.
Always up for a laugh, she's a pain in the arse.
Every time that we meet, I skip a heartbeat.
I skip a heartbeat for you

oo3. ABOUT A GIRL † the academy is...
One song about a girl
Can't breathe when I'm around her
I'll wait here everyday
In case she scratch the surface
She'll never notice

I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl

Last night I knew what to say
But you weren't there to hear it
These lines so well rehearsed
Tongue tied and overloaded
You'll never notice

I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl

I'm not in love
This is not your song
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl

To be loved, to be loved
What more could you ask for?
To be loved, to be loved
Everyone wants to be loved
To be loved
What more could you ask for?
To be loved, to be loved
Everyone...

I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words

I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl

I'm not in love
This is not your song
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl

oo4. TO THE BEAT OF OUR NOISY HEARTS † matt nathanson
She don't lie in bed at night
Staring at the ceiling
She don't wait to begin
She bets on long shots
She wants what they've got
She skates where the ice thins

On and on, we keep going
Crowded like subway cars
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts
Our hearts

She was her mother's secret
She was daddy's girl
She brought weekend boys home in her curls
She said, "My love is a fever.
Come on, touch my skin.
They all think I'm easy,
I'm easy, cause I let them win."

On and on, we keep going
Crowded like subway cars
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts
On and on, we keep going
Crowded like subway cars
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts
To the beat of our noisy hearts

She said, "Pick up the phone
Cause I need to feel more alone
And your voice drives me crazy."

On and on, we keep going
Crowded like subway cars
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts
On and on, we keep going
Crowded like subway cars
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts, hearts, hearts
On and on, we keep going
Crowded like subway cars
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts

oo5. WHEN DID YOUR HEART GO MISSING † rooney
Love don't come so easily
This doesn't have to end in tragedy
I have you and you have me
We're one in a million
Why can't you see?

I'm waiting, waiting for nothing
You're leaving, leaving me hanging
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?
I treat you like a princess
But your life is just one big mess
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing? yeah

I meant every word I said
I never was lying when we talked in bed
I'm retracing every step in my head
What did I miss back then?
I was so, so misled

I'm waiting, waiting for nothing
You're leaving, leaving me hanging
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?
I treat you like a princess
But your life is just one big mess
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?

I don't understand
How could you forget what we had
It's so wrong

I'm waiting, waiting for nothing
You're leaving, leaving me hanging
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?
I treat you like a princess
But your life is just one big mess
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?

Yeah!

Things were so good
We had a little dream
A little dream together
Buy a house, settle down, do our thing
But you disappeared on me
And your heart, your heart went missin'
I don't know how to find it
I don't know where it is
I don't know where your heart went
It was here just the other day
Now it's gone
I'm gonna call the police
Call the investigator, the heart investigator

oo6. BROKEN HEART † motion city soundtrack
I'll start this broken heart
I'll fix it up so it will work again
Better than before
Then I'll star in a mystery
A tragic tale of all that's yet to come
With fingers crossed there will be love

But I get carried away with every day
And every fantasy
The deeper the wound,
The harder I swoon and wish that that was me

So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I'm getting used to it, you have to get used to it

I'll devise the best disguise
A brand new look and take them by surprise
They'll never guess what's not inside

I'll express myself with ease,
With confidence and character complete
With fingers crossed they'll talk to me

But I get carried away with every page
In every magazine
The cheaper the thrill
The deeper I fill my head with blasphemy

So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I'm getting used to it, you have to get used to it

I'll destroy this useless heart
I'll fuck it up so it'll never beat again
Not just for me but for anyone

But I get carried away
With every phrase and made up malady
The longer I hide behind these lies,
The more I disintegrate

So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
You never get used to it, you just have to live with it

oo7. UNDER THE PAVING STONES † the like
Somewhere was a different kind of time
When children weren't too bored to
Lose their lives
For change and loss
And star-crossed love and lies
But who today can find that kind of time?

Cuz nothing's still so urgent to inspire
A person to regain that kind of fire

And hey, haven't you heard?
You have the right to make a move
You've everything to gain
And only nothing left to lose
Haven't you heard?
You talk to everyone to prove
A leader only leads when no one else knows what to do

I had always thought it was a crime
To still own slaves within such modern times
But who am I to question such a life?
When I still own my own place in the line

And what could make a person wish to fight
When dazzling lights have overwhelmed his sight

And hey, haven't you heard?
You have the right to make a move
You've everything to gain
And only nothing left to lose
Haven't you heard?
It's up to everyone to prove
A leader only leads when no one else knows what to do

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la

Somewhere there's a different kind of time,
When children weren't too bored to
Lose their lives
For change and loss
And star-crossed love and lies
But who today can find that kind of time?

Cuz nothing's still so urgent to inspire
A person to reclaim that kind of fire

And hey, haven't you heard?
You have the right to make a move
You've everything to gain
And only boredom left to lose
Haven't you heard?
It's up to everyone to prove
A leader only leads when no one else knows what to do

Ooh ooh
Ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh...

oo8. LOW FIDELITY † spill canvas
Wish I could hold you up in my arms,
Keep you safe and sound from any harm.
I can't seem to function from this far away,
And every little moment looks so dull without your color in my day.

Oh, it feels so good to hear you speak.
This is where I start to miss you more than I can bear,
I hate this distance in between us, I don't think it's fair.
All my time spent wondering
How to stay true to you,
But you're not here,
And now I fear I'll never get back to you.

Would have carried you to anywhere you please,
Even if my limbs were broken and my body was diseased.
I can't seem to operate from this far away,
And there's a million little voices telling me I should've stayed.

Oh, it feels so good to hear you speak.
This is where I start to miss you more than I can bear,
I hate this distance in between us, I don't think it's fair.
All my time spent wondering
How to stay true to you,
But you're not here,
And now I fear I'll never get back to you.

My blood aches from trying to make you appear,
Oh, it's such an awful sight to just see me in the mirror.

This is where I start to miss you more than I can bear,
I hate this distance in between us, I don't think it's fair.
All my time spent wondering
How to stay true to you,
But you're not here,
And now it's clear I'm never going back to you.

No, no, I'm never going back to you.

oo9. LIPSTICK LICKING † milburn
The lights they start to flicker, moving in the sky
And the lips with their lipstick licking seem to pass me by, oh my
The big boy with the headlight glare says we're telling lies
And I know we're in for it when I see him looking over and he's giving me the evil eye

But the thought of you in my mind knows I'm never gonna go wrong
Cause you and me both were singing the same song
I can tell by the look in your eye that we're never gonna go wrong
We'll go on, and on, and on

The big boy wont let you go, he says to apologise
And I know we're in for it when somebody wanders over just to smack him right between the eyes

But the thought of you in my mind knows I'm never gonna go wrong
Cause you and me both we're singing the same song
I can tell by the look in your eye that we're never gonna go wrong
We'll go on, and on, and on

But the thoughts of you in my mind knows I'm never gonna go wrong
Cause you and me both we're singing the same song
I can tell by the look in your eye that we're never gonna go wrong
We'll go on, and on, and on

o10. I CAUGHT MYSELF † paramore
Down to you
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I

Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought of you

Of you
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I want
No, I don't know what I want

You got it, you got it
Some kind of magic
Hypnotic, hypnotic
You're leaving me breathless
I hate this, I hate this
You're not the one I believe in
With God as my witness

Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought of you

Of you
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I want
No, I don't know what I want

Don't know what I want
But I know it's not you
Keep pushing and pulling me down
When I know in my heart it's not you

Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought of you

I knew,
I know in my heart it's not you, I knew
But now I know what I want, I want, I want
Oh no, I should have never thought!

o11. IT'S SO SIMPLE † saosin
I never thought you would lose yourself
The hardest part was falling down again
I'm a fool to watch you walk away
Are you bothered by the choice you made

When we fall to the ground
Slowly we're safe and sound

It's so simple to be afraid
It's so simple when you know who you are
It's so simple to be afraid
It's so simple when you know who you are

I've caught you lying to yourself
Now everything is spinning round and around
Well I’m a fool to watch but never say
Are you bothered by the choice you made

When we fall to the ground
Slowly we're safe and sound

It's so simple to be afraid
It's so simple when you know who you are
It's so simple to be afraid
It's so simple when you know who you are

But maybe we were wrong,
When will you know
That you can feel belonged
I think you fell in deeper than you imagined

It's so simple to be afraid (It's so simple)
It's so simple when you know who you are
It's so simple to be afraid (It's so simple)
It's so simple when you know who you are

o12. WAITING FOR GO † the dykeenies
Straight ahead
Subtitles seeing down on me
Subtitle reaching all i see
No one wants you
Night again
Reach out reach out for me
Be brave no one can see
As the dark surrounds you

Terrified of you but not running away
My heart it was a stage and never played the game
Sick of always seeing the subtitles again
You've got the wrong message running through your brain

Memory has served me far too well
Science knows not to dwell
Until it finds you

Terrified of you but not running away
My heart it was a stage and never played the game
Sick of always seeing the subtitles again
You've got the wrong message running through your brain

Waiting for go
Waiting for go

Terrified of you
Terrified of you

Terrified of you but not running away
My heart it was a stage and never played the game
Sick of always seeing the subtitles again
You've got the wrong message running through your brain

Terrified of you but not running away
My heart it was a stage and never played the game
Sick of always seeing the subtitles again
You've got the wrong message running through your brain

Waiting for go
Waiting for go
Waiting for go
Waiting for...

o13. SINKING HEARTS † the organ
Remember when I left you
I couldn't say your name
Or other crucial things like "I love you",
Oh, that's a shame

Oh no, I think I'm falling
Oh no, I think I'm fine
Our hearts didn't come together
But I saw the two collide

I can the see the hearts sinking

Remember when I left you
I couldn't say your name
or other crucial things like "I love you",
oh, that's a shame
I don’t know if you're hearing
my voice or the reprise
our hearts didn't come together
but I saw the two collide

o14. LOOK THROUGH MY WINDOW † the mamas & the papas
And the rain beats on my roof...
And it does not ask for proof...

It's not that lovers are unkind;
She always said there'd come a time
When one would leave and one stay behind.

We both knew people sometimes change
And lovers sometimes rearrange;
And nothing's quite as sure as change---
And the rain beats on my roof...

Look through my window
To the street below;
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, some place to go---
And I know I should let go...

She always said "I'm not like you;
When love is dead, for me it's through
And I will find and love someone new."
(And I will find somebody new)

Look through my window, yeah,
To the street below;
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, some place to go---
And I know I should let go...

I must admit she knew her mind;
And it will not take her long to find
Another place where the sun will shine
(Another place where the sun will shine)
(Where the sun will shine, sun will shine...)

And the rain beats on my roof
If I still require proof...
Well, the rain beats on my roof (She's gone)
If I still require proof... (She's gone)
Well, the rain beats on my roof (Look through my window)
If I still require proof ...

o15. C'MERE † interpol
It's way too late to be this locked inside ourselves
The trouble is that you're in love with someone else
It should be me.
Oh, it should be me
Your sacred parts, your getaways
You come along on summer days
Tenderly, tastefully

And so may, we make time
Try to find somebody else
This place is mine

You said today, you know exactly how I feel
I have my doubts little girl
I'm in love with something real
It could be me, that's changing

And so may, we make time
To try and find somebody else
Who has a line

Now seasoned with health
Two lovers walk a lakeside mile
Try pleasing with stealth, rodeo
See what stands long ending fast

Oh, how I love you in the evenings
When we are sleeping
We are sleeping.
Oh, we are sleeping

And so may, we make time
We try to find somebody else
Who has a line

Now seasoned with health
Two lovers walk a lakeside mile
Try pleasing with stealth, rodeo
See what stands long, oh ending fast

o16. COMFORTING LIE † no doubt
I started out on the wrong foot
Now I'm not myself
I am Jekyll, I am Hyde
Found this place to hide
Come seek me

Oh, so up and down
So back and forth
So insecure
Can't get this taste out of my mouth
Swallow it down
Pretend

Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it

I'm just a normal person
Without those problems
When did it change?
Admissions so embarrassing
I'm on the verge of tears again

Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Build a bomb
And blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it

Oh look I took the Band-Aid off
Did I take it off too soon?
Hysterical confession
My big courageous move

Don't gasp at the predictable
A comforting lie can't last
Preordained checklist of this awkward love
It's so sad

Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Oh, build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it

Sort it, sort it out
Just give it back
No thank you
Toss it, toss it away
Eliminate
Just give up

I can't decide
This tug of war
I'm feeling weak

o17. VINDICATED † dashboard confessional
Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in, winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing
So hypnotizing
I am captivated
I am

Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am
Flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized to overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so
Isolated so
Motivated
I am
Certain now that I am

Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am
Flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

So turn
up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment for forever

Defense is paper thin
Just
One touch and I'll be in
Too
Deep now to ever swim
Against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away

Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am
Flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

My hope
dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

o18. GIVE UP? † hot hot heat
They all warned me to stay out
Stubborn, stupid, scarred and proud
Don't try to warn me
Don't try to warn me
Don't try to warn me, I say
I make my own mistakes
Don't care how long it takes
I'll make my own mistakes again
But all I know is all I got is

Frustration, frustration
I hate this vacation
So give up (give up)
Give up (give up)
I've got to get away from here
It's killing me just thinking 'bout

Frustration, frustration
I hate this vacation
So give up (give up)
Give up (give up)
I've got to get away from here
It's killing me just thinking 'bout it

They all warned me of her crime
Cut your losses while there's time
Don't try to warn me
Don't try to warn me
Don't try to warn me, I said
I make my own mistakes
You don't know what she's like
I'll make my own mistakes again
But all I know is all I got's

Frustration, frustration
I hate this vacation
So give up (give up)
Give up (give up)
I've got to get away from here
It's killing me just thinking 'bout

Frustration, frustration

Frustration, frustration
I hate this vacation
So give up (give up)
Give up (give up)
I've got to get away from here
I've got to get away from here
It's killing me just thinking about it so...

o19. THE SOUND OF SETTLING † death cab for cutie
I've got a hunger
Twisting my stomach into knots
That my tongue was tied off

My brain's repeating
If you've got an impulse let it out
But they never make it past my mouth

This is the sound of settling

Our youth is fleeting
Old age is just around the bend
And I can't wait to go grey

And I'll sit and wonder
Of every love that could've been
If I'd only thought of something charming to say

This is the sound of settling

I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots

o20. BLAME ME! BLAME ME! † anberlin
And we could ride all night
To the pace of the blinking light
Wishing traffic was faster (Traffic was faster)
Keeping safe distance but courting disaster

We could dance all night
To the sounds of a starting fight
Hoping change would come around (Change would come around)
Amazing division how sweet the sound

Blame Me! Blame Me! Blame Me!
For mistakes you make but you can't own
Hate Me! Hate Me! Hate Me!
For every honest word that you postpone

Leave me out of this
Your life’s a sinking ship
So blame me, blame me, blame me
For mistakes you've made but you can't own

And we could stare all day
At problems that won't go away
Silence is pounding (Silence is pounding)
You're wearing me down these corners they're rounding

We could scream all night
With no resolve still left in sight
Stop saying you're sorry (Saying you're sorry)
All of these words feel so very empty

Blame Me! Blame Me! Blame Me!
For mistakes you make but you can't own
Hate Me! Hate Me! Hate Me!
For every honest word that you postpone

Leave me out of this
Your life's a sinking ship
So blame me, blame me, blame me
For mistakes you've made but you can't own

Torturing ourselves
We must be into the abuse
If you're the rope that ties us together
Than please make me a noose

Ask me to leave
Then beg me just to stay
Used to run to my arms
But now I walk away

Come and go as you please
I'm like a part time lover
With well worn knees
Well come on!

Blame Me! Blame Me! Blame Me!
For mistakes you make but you can't own
Hate Me! Hate Me! Hate Me!
For every honest word that you postpone

Leave me out of this
Your life's a sinking ship
So blame me, blame me, blame me
For mistakes you've made but you can't own

o21. THINK TWICE † eve 6
When all is said and done
And dead does he love you
The way that I do
Breathing in lightning
Tonight's for fighting
I feel the hurt so physical

Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more

She spreads her love
She burns me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out

Wait till the day you finally see
I've been here waiting patiently
Crossing my fingers and my t's
She cried on my shoulder begging please

Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touching my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more

She spreads her love
She burns me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out

What is it you really want?
I'm tired of asking
You come wasted

When I showed up and he was there
I tried my best to grin and bear
And took the stairs but didn't stop at the street
And as we speak I'm going down

Cause she spread her love
And burnt me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out

Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more!

o22. THE WAY THINGS ARE † fiona apple
I wouldn't know what to do with another chance
If you gave it to me
I couldn’t take the embrace of a real romance
It'd race right through me
I'm much better off the way things are
Much much better off, better by far, by far

I wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice
It'd roll right past me
And if you chalk it up you'll see I don't really have a choice
So don't even ask me
I'm much better off, the way things are
Much much better off, better by far

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on
And I'll keep kicking the crap till its gone
If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be
Able to move on

How can I fight, when we're on the same side
How can I fight beside you?

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on
And I'll keep kicking the crap till its gone
If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be
Able to move on

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on
And I’ll keep kicking the crap till its gone
If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
And as soon as I settle, I bet I’ll be
Able to move on

o23. YOU COULD BE HAPPY † snow patrol
You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wish I had not said
Are played in loops til it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
And not our last days of silent screaming blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should've stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back don't think just do
More than anything I want to see you girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

o24. YOUR EYES OPEN † keane
Well it's a lonely road that you have chosen
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
And it's a long time since your heart was frozen
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore

For a moment your eyes open and you know
All the things I ever wanted you to know
I don't know you, and I don't want to
Till the moment your eyes open and you know

That it's a lonely place that you have run to
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
And it's a lonely end that you will come to
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore

For a moment your eyes open and you know
All the things I ever wanted you to know
I don't know you, and I don't want to
Till the moment your eyes open and you know

For a moment your eyes open and you know
All the things I ever wanted you to know
I don't know you, and I don't want to
Till the moment your eyes open and you know

o25. HARDEST OF HEARTS † florence and the machine
There is love in your body but you can't hold it in
It pours from your eyes and spills from your skin
Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks
And the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts

The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts

There is love in your body but you can't get it out
It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue and shows on your face
That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste

Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But you'll never know what a fool I've been
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But that's no excuse for the state I'm in

The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts

There is love in our bodies and it holds us together
But pulls us apart when we're holding each other
We all want something to hold in the night
We don't care if it hurts or we're holding too tight

There is love in your body but you can't get it out
It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face
That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste

Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But you'll never know what a fool I've been
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But that's no excuse for the state I'm in

The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts

My heart swells like a water and waves
Can't stop myself before it's too late
Hold on to your heart
'Cause I'm coming to take it
Hold on to your heart
'Cause I'm coming to break it

Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on
The hardest of hearts (hold on, hold on)
The hardest of hearts (hold on, hold on)
The hardest of hearts (hold on)

o26. PRETEND † secondhand serenade
It seems all of these words couldn't be further from the truth
How did I get here? What did I do?

Your eyes, telling me lies
And making me find myself
While you have your agenda, a life to pursue

So please,
Let me be free from you.
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth.

I'm blind to all of your colors
That used to be rainbow then
My eyes, where did they go to?
Why disappear?

It's hard to be all alone
I never got through your disguise
I guess I'll just go, and face all my fears

So please,
Let me be free from you
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth.

Put down your world
Just for one night
Pick me again

So please,
Let me be free from you
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth

o27. ALL THE SAME † sick puppies
I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
But I don't like illusions I cant see
Them clearly
I don't care, no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually what you'll do
I don't mind
I don't care
As long as you're here

Go ahead and tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
But in-between it always seems too long
Suddenly
But I have the skill, yeah
I have the will, to breath you in while I can
However long you stay is all that I am

I don't mind, I don't care
As long as you're here

Go ahead and tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's always the same

Wrong or Right
Black or White
If I close my eyes
It’s all the same

In my life
The compromise
I’ll close my eyes
It’s all the same

Go ahead say it!
You're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are now
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

o28.WHY DID YOU STAY? † the pipettes
You used to tell me that you love me everyday
(I didn't know what to say)
But there was never any doubt I always knew
That to me you stayed true

But my heart never could be so committed
So all my transgressions you permitted

Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay when I treated you that way?

I was so cruel
(He was so kind)
Why did I feel I had to leave you behind?
(But he was so sweet)
Oh yeah
Well I've had just about enough of sweet

Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay when I treated you that way?

Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
(What did you say?)
Why did you stay with me?

o29. PLEASE † ludo
Sun falls slowly on our lonely
goodbye bedroom, you're my only.
My last night home is first-night nervous
Take me over, remember all this 'til then...

Please save this for me
I'll come back for you, love, I promise to
Please save this for me, for until I return
my love will burn and my heart will stay.
My heart will stay.

It's gone cold now, we'll sleep somehow
I'll be gone by first light, last chance, hold tight until then...

Please save this for me
I'll come back for you, love, I promise to
Please save this for me, for until I return
my love will burn and my heart will stay.
My heart will stay.

I lie awake and memorize your face
as you sleep next to me.
The falling moon is calling me as I leave.
Sunrise slowly, the road looms lonely
but I will not fail...

Please save this for me
I'll come back for you, love, I promise to
Please save this for me, for until I return
my love will burn and my heart will stay.
My heart will stay.

My heart will stay.

o30. REWIND † deas vail
I promise you we'll be fine now...
Just wait until the morning light.
Ghosts will come in these night hours,
But they're forgotten when the sun comes up.

I've watched my life through windows.

This is how it feels
To break up sound waves and fall into a quiet place.
This is how it feels to stay the same and leave your side.

This behaves like a bad dream,
Where we go walking in the dark,
And heavenly are these bright lights.
They're keeping me awake, and I can't close my eyes as daylight turns to night.

This is how it feels
To break up sound waves and fall into a quiet place.
This is how it feels to stay the same and leave your side.

This is how it feels
To break up sound waves and fall into a quiet place.
This is how it feels to stay the same, stay the same

To stay the same

o31. STRAY ITALIAN GREYHOUND † vienna teng
Oh no not now
Please not now
I just settled into the glass half empty
Made myself at home
And so why now
Please not now
I just stopped believing in happy endings
Harbors of my own

But you had to come along didn't you
Break down the doors, throw open windows
Oh if you knew just what a fool you have made me

So what do I do with this?

This stray Italian greyhound
These inconvenient fireworks
This ice-cream-covered screaming hyperactive thought
God I just want to lay down
These colors make my eyes hurt
This feeling calls for everything that I am
Not

I'm not that kind
I'm so good at shooting down any notion
This tired world could change
It's all been bought
Or at least that was my line
No use in spending all that emotion
When there's someone else to blame

But you had to come along didn't you
Rev up the crowd, rewrite the rule book
Where do I go when every no turns into maybe

So what do I do with this?

This sudden burst of sunlight
And me with my umbrella
Cross-indexing every weatherman's report
I was ready for the downslide
But not for spring to well up
This feeling calls for everything I can't afford
To know
Is possible now

What do I do
With a love that won't sit still
Won't do what it's told
What do I do
With a love that won't sit still

o32. STAR CROSSED † scary kids scaring kids
Star crossed lovers
They say we're not meant to be
'Cause the stars in the sky, and the fashion that they are aligned.
I say if the future's been drawn out there's no point in living.
I won't give up my love so that fate can have its way.

If the stars say that you couldn't love me,
Are you telling me that you would listen?
If the words make their way from your mouth,
Don't ask my permission,
All is forgiven.

Star crossed lovers, we do what we want to.
Some learn the hard way,
We all learn through consequence.
I say if the future's been drawn out then nobody's living.
I won't give you up love, so fate can have its way.
Its way.

If the stars say that you couldn't love me,
Are you telling me that you would listen?
If the words make their way from your mouth,
Don't ask my permission,
All is forgiven.

Is it over?
(The stars keep this fire from burning out)
Is it over?
(Are you saying that you'd really listen?)
Is it over?
(The stars keep this fire)
Is it over?
(The stars keep this fire)

If the stars say that you couldn't love me,
Are you telling me that you would listen?
If the words make their way from your mouth,
Don't ask my permission,
All is forgiven.

If the stars say that you cannot love.
(The stars keep this fire from burning out)
If the stars say that you cannot love me.

o33. MOCKINGBIRD † rob thomas
Here we stand
Somewhere in between this moment and the end
Will we bend?
Or will we open up and take this whole thing in?

Everybody else is smiling and their smiles don't fade
And you don't even wonder why you just don't think that way

Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move on and we can't stay here
Well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we ain't meant for this love
You and me tried everything
But still that mocking bird wont sing
Well man this life seems hard enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love

Take my hand
And I will lead you through the broken promise land
Yes I can, ah yes I can
I can be there when you need it, I'll give it all till you can't feel it anymore

I don't wanna love you now, if you'll just leave someday
I don't wanna turn around, if you'll just walk away

Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move on and we can't stay here
Well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we ain't meant for this love
You and me tried everything
But still that mocking bird wont sing
Well man this life seems hard enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love

Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move on and we can't stay here
Well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we ain't meant for this love
You and me tried everything
But still that mocking bird wont sing
Well man this life seems hard enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love

Maybe we ain't meant for this love
Maybe we ain't meant for this love

o34. SOUND OF WATER † sarah slean
Just to hear the sound of water
Just to put the fire on ice
I'm lying down in the shower
Oh mercy loosen the vice
Sometimes the sword is so heavy
My pain has a ravenous mouth
In the pits of my own making
Sometimes I don’t think I'll ever get out

Oh, the world stroking the comas
Madmen making the news
Bent over like a beggar
I was saying "it's no use"
This ain't a world for intelligent women
Unless you like swimming your own dark sea
These are times for urgent rhymes
But where the poetry?

When the light
The light is hard to find!
And you're walking blind
You only need to change your mind
Your mind

Wide awake and hope-infected
I became a glittering queen
Every light in my direction
Was a bright, magnificent green
Adorned with invisible riches
I saw my stitches glowing so bright
No, the burden was not heavy
For the master it was light!

When the light
Light is hard to find!
And you're walking blind
You only need to change your mind
You only need to change your mind
Your mind

When the light
The light is hard to find
When you're walking, walking blind

The light
The light is hard to find
When you're walking blind
You only need to change your mind
You only need to change your mind
Your mind

o35. THAT'S OKAY † the hush sound
You were a child who was made of glass
You carried a black heart passed down from your dad
If somebody loved you, they'd tell you by now
We all turn away when you're down

You want to go back to where you felt safe
To hear your brother's laughter
See your mother's face
Your childhood home is just powder-white bones
And you'll never find your way back

And when you're gone, will they say your name?
And when you're gone, will they love you the same?
If not, that's okay
If not, that's okay

You are broken and callow
Cautious and safe
You are a boundless and beauty
With fright in your face
Until someone loves you
I'll keep you safe
But like them, I will give you away

And when you're gone, will they say your name?
And when you're gone, will they love you the same?
If not, that's okay

And when you're gone, will they say your name?
And when you're gone, will they love you the same?
Oh, when you're gone, we won't say your word
But you know that's okay
Don't you know that's okay?

o36. MONOCHROME † yann tiersen
Anyway, I can try
Anything it's the same circle
That leads to nowhere and I'm tired now.

Anyway, I've lost my face,
My dignity, my look,
Everything is gone
And I'm tired now.

But don't be scared,
I found a good job and I go to work
Every day on my old bicycle you loved.

I am piling up some unread books under my bed
And I really think I'll never read again.

No concentration,
Just a white disorder
Everywhere around me,
You know I'm so tired now.

But don't worry
I often go to dinners and parties
With some old friends who care for me,
Take me back home and stay.

Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.
Monochrome flat, monochrome life,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.

Sometimes I search an event
Or something to remind,
But I've really got nothing in mind.

Sometimes I open the windows
And listen people walking in the down streets.
There is a life out there.

But don't be scared,
I found a good job and I go to work
Every day on my old bicycle you loved.

Anyway, I can try
Anything it's the same circle
That leads to nowhere and I'm tired now.

Anyway, I've lost my face,
My dignity, my look,
Everything is gone
And I'm tired now.

But don't worry
I often go to dinners and parties
With some old friends who care for me,
Take me back home and stay.

Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.

Monochrome flat, monochrome life,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me

o37. THE RESOLUTION † jack's mannequin
There's a lot that I don't know
There's a lot that I'm still learning
When I think I'm letting go
I find my body it's still burning

And you hold me down
And you got me living in the past
Come on and pick me up
Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast

Yeah I'm alive
But I don't need a witness
To know that I've survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
Yeah I just need life
I'll be lying in the dark
As I search for the resolution

And the bars are finally closed
So I try living in the moment
For the moment it just froze
And I felt sick and so alone

I could hear the sound
Of your voice still ringing in my ear
I'm going underground
But you'll find me anywhere I fear

Yeah I'm alive
But I don't need a witness
To know that I've survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
Yeah I just need life
I'll be lying in the dark
As I search for the resolution
I'll be lying in the dark
As I search for the resolution

The resolution
The resolution

And you hold me down
Yeah you hold me down

Yeah I'm alive
But I don't need a witness
To know that I've survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness

Yeah I'm alive
But I don't a witness
To know that I've survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
Yeah I just need life
I'll be lying in the dark
As I search for the resolution
I'll be lying in the dark
As I search for the resolution

I need life
I need life
(Lying in the dark as I search for the resolution)
Resolution
(Lying in the dark as I search for the resolution)
Resolution
(Lying in the dark as I search for the resolution)

o38. WE'VE GOT A BIG MESS ON OUR HANDS † the academy is...
Aaahhhhh
Aaaaahhhhhh
I've got that lefty curse
Where everything that I do is flipped
And awkwardly reversed
You're seldom known and barely missed
I always put myself
In destructive situations
I need oxygen
To be exposed where no one goes
Where no one's been
When it all comes crashing--

Aaaahhh
Now we've got a big, big mess on our hands tonight(SING IT YEAH!)
Ahhhhaaahhhhhh
Now we've got a big, big mess on our hands tonight

Somebody get my phone
So I can throw it in a public pool
And watch it float
And as it's slowly sinking down,
become a social ghost
Inside a box, cut out the top
To let some light shine in
To remind me of what I've done
And where I've been
When it all comes crashing--

Aaaaaahhhhhhh
Now we've got a big, big mess on our hands tonight(SING IT POW!)
Aaaaaahhhhhh
Now we've got a big, big, big, big,mess on our hands
On our hands

Don't give in, don't give up
I'll be gone
You don't look innocent enough
We're too young to be critics
We won't miss anything at all
Don't give in, don't give up
I don't look innocent
with this big, big mess on us
Say something else

Whoaaahhhhh
Whoaaahhhhh
Whoaaahhhhh

Aaahhhhhhhhh.... (oh we got a big,big mess)
(Oh we got a big,big mess)
(Oh we got a big,big mess)
(A big,big mess)
Now we've got a big, big mess
A big, big mess (NOW KICK IT!)
Aaahhhhhhhhh
Now we've got a big, big mess on our hands tonight (SING IT POW!)
Aaaaahhhhhhh
Now we've got a big, big, big, big mess on our hands, on our hands,

Don't give up, don't give in
I'll be gone
I don't look innocent enough
We're too young to be cynics
We won't wish any harm at all
Don't give in, don't give up
No one looks innocent
With this big, big mess on our hands tonight

When it all comes crashing--
