Well…I was incredibly bored during Spring Break, so I watched, I don’t know, a million episodes of Friends and listened to plenty of music. As a result, I figured I’d put the two together and make a fanmix thing for Ross and Rachel because, well, who doesn’t love them? Mmkay. Anyways, it just kind of chronicles, from beginning to end, the goings on between them. On the left are the scenes that I thought equated, for the most part, with each song.
Where We Were Before
A Ross & Rachel Soundtrack
download01. “10 Years Later” - Collective Soul
Lack of knowledge has a source // Still my thoughts must run their course // And they do // Does my memory comfort you? // While your eyes see me through // Well, it's 10 years later and still I haven't a clue // Oh I'm crying // Caution breathes a lonely breath // Love withstands but time must rest // And it does // Does my memory comfort you? // Your eyes see me through // Well, it's 10 years later and still I haven't a clue
download02. “Change” (acoustic) - Good Charlotte
Now you've got me watching your eyes // Got me waiting just to see // If it goes away, it never will // Your eyes are watching me // And I practiced all the things I'd say // To tell you how I feel // But when I finally get my chance // It all seems so surreal // And now you've got me thinking about the first time that I met you // And now I can't forget you // Now I won't forget you // You said you can't change the way you feel // But you can’t tell me this ain't real cause this is real // ‘Cause in the end its all I’ve got // So I’m gonna hold on and on and on
download03. “More Than Anyone” - Gavin DeGraw
You need a friend, I'll be around // Don't let this end before I see you again // What can I say to convince you to change your mind of me? // I'm going to love you more than anyone // I'm going to hold you closer than before // And when I kiss your soul, your body will be free // I'll be free for you anytime // I'm going to love you more than anyone // Look in my eyes, what do you see? // Not just the color, look inside of me // Tell me all you need and I will try, I will try
download04. “Collide” (acoustic) - Howie Day
The dawn is breaking, a light shining through // You're barely waking, and I'm tangled up in you // I'm open, you're closed // Where I follow, you'll go // I worry I won't see your face light up again // Even the best fall down sometimes // Even the wrong words seem to rhyme // Out of the doubt that fills my mind // I somehow find you and I collide
download05. “The Luckiest” - Ben Folds
I don't get many things right the first time // In fact, I am told that a lot // Now I know all the wrong turns // The stumbles and falls brought me here // And where was I before the day that I first saw your lovely face? // Now I see it everyday // And I know that I am the luckiest // What if I'd been born fifty years before you // In a house on a street where you lived? // Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike // Would I know? // And in a wide sea of eyes, I see one pair that I recognize // And I know that I am the luckiest // I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
download06. “Don’t Kill Me Tonight” - Di-Rect
When I’m on the loose // It is you who’s shining through and through again // Whenever the rain comes down, the sun turns gray // When I needed you, you were always there // When it comes to you, really nothing can compare // You feel what I feel, know what I know // Even through the darkest night // You’ll see what I see // There’s a reason to believe in you and me // I would die if you left me drowning in sorrow // Baby don’t kill me tonight // Would you hold on to me, girl? // And love me tomorrow // When I’m feeling blue
download07. “Goodbye My Lover” - James Blunt
I am a dreamer, but when I wake // You can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take // And as you move on, remember me // Remember us and all we used to be // I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile // I've watched you sleeping for a while // I'd be the father of your child // I'd spend a lifetime with you // I know your fears and you know mine // We've had our doubts but now we're fine // And I love you, I swear that's true // I cannot live without you // Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend // You have been the one, you have been the one for me
download08. “Grazed Knees” - Snow Patrol
I really have to go // It's easier to lie and be safe // Time and time again I'm half stalled // One giant leap of faith is easy // When everyone you ask is so sure // Just give a second thought // What if we don't get caught // Just say you love me now // And forget this whole row // Just save your energy // For making up with me
download09. “Where We Were Before” - Blessid Union of Souls
We'd shine so hard for everyone // ‘Cause we thought we had forever and a day // We never thought would end this way // With a million mornings left to come // We never cared for losing one // But it's half past my forever // And I need someone to hold my hand // And you're just what I've been waiting for // To come and take me in // To grab a hold and take control and make me whole again // And if you need my everything // You can take it all and more // Just help me to get back where we were before // I've grown numb to some things, hunger for one thing // That takes me back to where it all began // I know we've grown apart, but every now and then // I just close my eyes and here we are again
download10. “Walk Away” - Ben Harper
Oh no, here comes that sun again // That means another day without you my friend // And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself // And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else // And it's so hard to do and so easy to say // But sometimes you just have to walk away // With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one? // But you put the happy in my ness, you put the good times into my fun // And it's so hard to do and so easy to say // But sometimes you just have to walk away and head for the door // We've tried the goodbye so many days // We walk in the same direction so that we could never stray // They say if you love somebody than you have got to set them free // But I would rather be locked to you than live in this pain and misery
download11. “Shelter” - Ray LaMontange
I left you heartbroken, but not until those very words were spoken // Has anybody ever made such a fool out of you // It's hard to believe it // Even as my eyes do see it // The very things that make you live are killing you // Listen, when all of this around us will fall over // I tell you what we're gonna do // You will shelter me my love // I will shelter you
download12. “What Might Have Been” - Little Texas
We could sit and talk about this all night long // And wonder why we didn't last // They might be the best days we will ever know // But we'll have to leave them in the past // So try not to think about what might have been // 'Cause that was then, and we have taken different roads // We can't go back again, there's no use giving in // And there's no way to know what might have been // That same old look in your eyes // It's a beautiful night // I'm so tempted to stay // But too much time has gone by // We should just say goodbye // And turn and walk away
download13. “Look After You” - The Fray
If I don't say this now I will surely break // As I'm leaving the one I want to take // Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait // My heart has started to separate // Oh, be my baby, I'll look after you // There now, steady love, so few come and don't go // Will you won't you, be the one I always know // When I'm losing my control, the city spins around // You're the only one who knows, you slow it down // Oh, be my baby, I'll look after you
download14. “Ache For You” - Ben Lee
In the rain, I'm walking slowly // There's a light in your apartment // And I don't know why I ache for you // And it's all right if you're undecided // Or if you're scared that you might like it // Or if it's true, I ache for you // There's no rhyme and there's no reason // You're the secret in the back of my skull // There's no logic, so please believe me // Our love's confusing, but it never gets dull // It's getting late, anticipation // And if we talk, communication // And then you'll know, I ache for you // And yes, sometimes it's just desire // Another problem there you really don't want // But anyway, I ache for you
download15. “Drawn Out” - Dishwalla
So the lines are lost on the smallest details // Of the life that we tossed, pushed out over the rail // And the wounds run deep through the one man so bad // He’s fallen beneath the touch of your hand // And it's all drawn out, there’s nothing inside // And nothing to hold, nothing to find // It’s wearing me out, this feeling inside // I’m all drawn out // And the promise we break it, and the reasons we fake it // Brings us farther apart from the love that we make // As the poisonous tide leaves us gasping for air // We run for the past but we're already there
download16. “I Shall Believe” - Sheryl Crow
Come to me now and lay your hands over me // Even if it's a lie, say it will be alright // And I shall believe // I'm broken in two // And I know you're on to me // That I only come home when I'm so all alone // But I do believe // That not everything is gonna be the way you think it ought to be // It seems like every time I try to make it right it all comes down on me // Please say honestly, you won't give up on me // And I shall believe // Open the door and show me your face tonight // I know it's true, no one heals me like you // And you hold the key // Never again would I turn away from you // I'm so heavy tonight, but your love is alright // And I do believe
download17. “In Loving Memory” - Alter Bridge
Even though you're gone, you still mean the world to me // I never knew what it was to be alone // ‘Cause you were always there for me // You were always there waiting // But now I come home and it's not the same // It feels empty and alone // I can't believe you're gone // And I know, you're a part of me // And it's your song that sets me free // I sing it while I feel I can't hold on // I sing tonight ‘cause it comforts me
download18. “Take Me Away” (acoustic) - Lifehouse
This time, all I want is you // There is no one else who can take your place // This time, you burned me with your eyes // You see past all the lies // You take it all away // I've seen it all and it's never enough // It keeps leaving me needing you // Take me away // Take me away // I’ve got nothing left to say // Just take me away
download19. “Long Time Coming” - Oliver James
You can look for a lifetime, you can love for a day // You can think you've got everything // But everything is nothing when you throw it away // Then you look in my eyes, and I have it all once again // It's been a long time coming down this road // And now I know what I've been waiting for // Just like a lonely highway, I'm trying to get home // Love's been a long time coming // Didn't know I was lost till you found me // Didn't know I was blind but now I see // Can you whisper in my ear? // Let me know it's all right
