i was gonna put both of these into one post.. but apparently there's a LIMIT on posts (in LJ client, anyway). at some point it just didn't let me type any more. lol. but i'm putting up the 2 mix cds that matt has made for me <3 along with all the lyrics.

mix cd #1

01. brand new- TAUTOU

i'm sinking like a stone in the sea.
i'm burning like a bridge for your body.

i'm sinking like a stone in the sea.
i'm burning like a bridge for your body.

i'm sinking like a stone in the sea.
i'm burning like a bridge for your body...

02. penfold- I'LL TAKE YOU EVERYWHERE

Painted skies and shining stars reminds us of the hours
that we spent at the dining room table drawing pictures of nothing important
Everything we loved
And even though our fingers got sore and our eyes began to ache, we would never stop
We would never stop
It's these things created by tiny hands that were hung on walls and wrapped as gifts
Acted as the words we never said but wish we had before you left
It's too late to tell you that I care and I'm wishing you were here
And I think it would be better if you had never left at all
This place is not the same without the smile on your face
And if you were here then I would take you everywhere

03. armor for sleep- RAINDROPS

You appear like raindrops
And live like you sink through
The streets that you fall on
The cars that slip on you
All of this for just one night

Suffocate me, all you need,
I won't breathe but it's okay
You'll be somewhere around me
And I won't need air

The clouds will break my house
And throw me from my room
I'll drown in the rainfall
And float till I find you

You appear like raindrops
And live like you sink through
The streets that you fall on
The cars that slip on you
All of this for just one night

Suffocate me, all you need,
I won't breathe but it's okay
You'll be somewhere around me
And I won't need air

And I won't need air
And I won't need air
And I won't need air
And I won't need air

Suffocate me, all you need,
I won't breathe but it's okay
You'll be somewhere around me
And I won't need air

Suffocate me, all you need,
I won't breathe but it's okay
You'll be somewhere around me
And I won't need air

04. the postal service- SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS

I am thinking it's a sign
that the freckles in our eyes
are mirror images
and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned.

And I have to speculate
that God Himself did make
us into corresponding shapes
like puzzle pieces from the clay.

And true it may seem like a stretch
but it's thoughts like this that catch
my troubled head when you're away
and when I am missing you to death.

And when you are out there on the road
for several weeks of shows
and when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home.

they will see us waving from such great heights
"come down now" they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away
"come down now" but we'll stay

I tried my best to leave
this all on your machine
but the persistent beat
it sounded thin upon the sending.

and that frankly will not fly
you'll hear the shrillest highs
and lowest lows with the windows down
and this is guiding you home.

they will see us waving from such great heights
"come down now" they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away
"come down now" but we'll stay

they will see us waving from such great heights
"come down now" they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away
"come down now" but we'll stay

they will see us waving from such great heights
"come down now" they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away
"come down now" but we'll stay

05. the stryder- MISSING WITHOUT YOU

Finding a way for my words to be spoken
I never thought our front teeth could be broken
all of the joy when I dream has been stolen
I fell right through a trap door that I opened
and there's no way
that you'll turn my body away
I'll blow away
if you take you're body away
and when there's a hole in my head
you kiss me instead
and the demons fall down dancing around my bed
and the sky won't turn red
when yo'ure in the bed
so stay stay stay

sell your soul to me
this way I know you belong to me
sell your soul to me
this way I know you belong to me
sell your sould to me
I'm missing without you

Too many times I've let love pass
driving further away but I'm all out of gas
never did I think I'd find you
so I sit down and write these words in tribute
don't push it away these words are sincere
since you, my everday has been so clear
I thank you for everything I truly do
with this song please carry on
and I'll be here thinking of you

cause this time I finally got it figured out
I'm missing without you
in tribute we stand
I'm missing without you

06. dashboard confessional- LIVING IN YOUR LETTERS

I'm always assuming the worst,
but you're going on none the less
& there's nothing to cusion your heart led fall.
Letters from further away
keep pulling me close to home.
And there's something to cushion my callous sighs.
And I know that you hope for
longer good-byes
embracing for forever
and falling in your eyes.

Pouring over photographs.
I'm living in your letters.
Breathe deeply from this envelope
it smells like you & I can't be
without that scent. It's filling me
with all you mean to me.

Continually failing these trials
but you stand by me nonetheless
& you won't let me sink
though I'm beggin you.
Phone calls from further away
& messages on my machine,
but I don't ever tell you this distance
seems terrible.
There is no need to test my heart,
with useless space.
These roads go on forever,
there will always be a place, for you.. in my heart

So I'll hit the pavement
it's gotta be better than waiting
& pushing you far away
cause I'm scared.
So I'll take my chances
& head on my way up there.
Cause turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten

07. time spent driving- YOUR ARMS THE BLADES

All I want is for you to be there, when I get home
cause I miss you already, yeah I miss you.
My only request is that you'll be waiting, when I get home
cause I miss you already, yeah I miss you.
All I want is for you to pick up everytime I call
cause I miss you already, yeah I miss you.
All I ask is that you'll tell me, when something's wrong
cause I miss you, already, yeah I miss you.
As you drive away, you burn me with your headlights
leave me aflame
and with each goodnight, you hollow out my insides
your arms, the blades.

08. copeland- SHE CHANGES YOUR MIND

She changes your mind
When you see the joy in her eyes
It makes you feel
It makes you feel
She draws your eyes
From all the things that made you numb
It makes you feel
It makes you feel

And I could open up my heart and let her out
And I would never have to sing her name aloud
It was your hello that kept me hanging on every word
And your goodbye that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
It keeps me listening for you voice around each corner

And I'll sing songs
To help me stay up all night long
Cause I don't want to go to sleep
And I'll sing a song
And I hope you're listening carefully
And know exactly what I mean
You know exactly what I mean

And I could open up my heart and let her out
And I would never have to sing her name aloud
It was your hello that kept me hanging on every word
And your goodbye that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
It keeps me listening for you voice around each corner

It's the song you must seek out
When your night has just begun
In the distance you can find
The lips from which was sung a melody.

It was your hello that kept me hanging on every word
And your goodbye that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
I was hanging on every word
And your goodbye
It keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
It keeps me listening for your voice around each corner

09. the rocket summer- SATURDAY

Don't try asking
Cause I never know what to say
Except just everything
A few minutes later in the day
How come everybody else seems so happy
And have intelligent things to say
Cause you know that isn't me
I think I'd be happy if it was a Saturday

And yeah if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better in every way, every way
And I would be okay

Cause then I would start
To try to find a way to say
Hey there you are
I need to find a way to be and sound smart
I need to find a way but man it's so hard
I need to think it's just not anything will do
I need to think this time
Just time for me and you
To be in phrase that I would always use
In the context like I belong to you

And yeah if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better in every way, every way
And I would be okay
And yea if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better than was today, is today

I would surely say that
That I'd be here for you
And I hope that you'd be too
And I'll tell the truth
Say that I need you
Yeah I do
But I know you might not come
But I need you everywhere
Take a breath and close my eyes
And just think about this and say

I need you please to save me
I wanna be your baby
I wanna see you and me
Together this Saturday

And yeah if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better in every way, every way
And I would be okay
And yeah if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better than was today, is today
And I would surely say
All the times I've been afraid
Well I'm gonna make it this Saturday

10. saves the day- YOU VANDAL

Last night I dream you called from Costa Rica
The place you've been for the last two weeks
You said, "I miss you, oh sweet boy, and will you come on down?"
I woke up to my cold sheets and the smell of New Jersey
When do I get to wake up to you?
Today I can't forget that I've got these open wounds
It's such a drag
I can't forget you've gone
My ribs have parted ways
They said, "We're not going to protect this heart you have."
Oh no, what can I do?
My lungs are breathing open air
And my spleen is dripping from my pants
Oh no, what can I do?
You've left me here in the cold
And I miss you
You never told me it would be this hard
I think my body's saying so
When you aren't here, it's leaving me
But I hope that you're okay
Even though I'm dying
I hope that you're still trying to have a killer time
Go see the volcanoes
Go see the rainforests
I'll be fine by myself
I'll be fine without these bones.

11. goldfinger- IF ONLY

If only I was taller
If I had a million dollars
maybe then you'd be with me

If only I was eighteen
and had the courage
of the A-Team
maybe then you'd be with me

But for now I'll have to dream
about your smile 'cause you're not
here and all I want to say is
that I really miss you

If I could surf a little better
If I had Sumner's sweater
maybe then you'd be with me

If only I had more time
If I had Mike Ness' hairline
then you'd want to be with me

But for now I'll have to dream
about your smile 'cause you're not
here and all I want to say is
that I really miss you

If only you weren't so fine
If only I wasn't so blind
I'd find a way
to make you stay
then maybe I'd see you

If I woke up
with all these things
Would it even change your feelings
None of that is even me
But for now I'll have to
wait another week
to see your face and all I want to say is
that I really miss you

12. mxpx- EVERYTHING SUCKS (WHEN YOU'RE GONE)

All I ever needed was to eat popcorn with you,
Come on over,
Watch the late show,
Stay up talking until two

Today's the day you're leaving,
And tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind,
I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone,
Everything sucks when you're gone

A dream of our reunion makes me crazy just to think,
How so very far away you are,
My hope begins to sink

Today's the day you're leaving,
And tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind,
I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone,
Everything sucks when you're gone

It's not okay,
I've baked dinner here for two,
And it's not okay,
I've got candles lit for you,
And it's not okay,
I've got your favorite records out,
And it's not okay,
You should have let it be,
And ran after me

Today's the day you're leaving,
And tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind,
I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone,
(I want you! I need you!)
Everything sucks when you're gone
(I want you! I need you!)

13. reggie & the full effect- THANKS FOR STAYIN

My friends could say
that this was fun
while sickly I'm staring out a window
I can see this other than chasing
something that I
always wanted you to know
all of this will have to end someday
the time will come when nobody's leaving
shut your eyes with me
again and again
and think about just what you believe in

I think I understand these thoughts
(I'm thinking everything's a feeling)
Lay in bed all day just to be with you
talk all night while staring at a ceiling
came up with this off of a notion
still can't sleep cause of all the stupid motion
want you with me
so you can see this
say it again and know that I mean it

I won't give up on you
You know that's what I'm sayin'
Tell me you know its true
Thank you for always stayin'
Please say your near
not far from here
When I'm away
Be back one day

My friends still say
that this is fun
and I sit here staring out a window
I can say now
this is worth the call
in the morning
to tell you something you should know
Don't need a break when its all done
Doing something that I always dreamed of
I can say for sure that everything is fine
When you're screaming out to up above

I won't give up on you
You know that's what I'm sayin'
Tell me you know its true
Thank you for always stayin'
I won't give up on you
(I won't give up)
Please say you're always stayin'

14. alkaline trio- CLAVICLE

i've been on top of the world
since about six months ago,
marking the first time i laid eyes on you.
i lost all train of thought as i entered the room.
i saw what looked like really good food,
then i saw you and so did you.

i wanna wake up naked next to you,
kissing the curve in your clavicle.
kissing your clavicle.

i've been on top of the world
since about one week ago,
marking a time when i was drunk enough to talk to you.
i lost all train of thought as your eyes met mine.
told you i thought you were gorgeous.
you gave me your phone number, i gave you mine.
before you left i said that you can bet i'll be bothering you soon.
you said, "no bother, please do."
i've called you twice.
it's been a hellish fight to not think about you all the time.
sitting around waiting for your call.

i wanna wake up naked next to you,
kissing the curve in your clavicle.
kissing your clavicle.
i wanna wake up naked next to you,
kissing the curve in your clavicle.

15. amazing transparent man- THE OCEAN IS A FUCK OF A LONG WAY TO SWIM

Now you say you're going away, leaving on a plane
But your memory remains
Our only contact is this telephone
These phone lines where I keep my home
Are driving me insane

The ocean is a fuck of a long way to swim
But I'd do it in a whim
I'd dive into the deep blue sea
Just so you could be with me
Those guys from Alcatraz with their raincoat boats
Ain't got nothing on me
I'd dive into the deep blue sea
Just so you could be with me

I only hope that as the time rolls by
That you won't find another guy
You won't forget my face
You know that I will always think of you
And what on earth I'd ever do
If our love should be replaced
I miss you in the worst of ways,
I wish tomorrow was today
So we could be together forever anyway
I swear just standing on the Jersey shore
I can almost see your door
Then we could be together forever anyway

16. saves the day- THIRD ENGINE

The sky grows bigger every day
And the other week I hopped on a train
Cutting through state lines
To come to you as the crow flies
And out there in there offing everything was melon and orange
Did you know, my sweet
That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?
I rolled over and over
Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets
I just want you to know
that every pool of water reminds me of you
Is that all right?
I hope you think it's cool
'Cause sometimes a train can't go as fast as I want it to
Everything seemed a little easier
when we weren't one hundred miles apart
The person across from me
sitting in her train seat, reminded me of you
And I looked out past her cheeks
through the glass-light conduit
But the sun had sunk already
Disappeared into New Jersey
Oh, why don't they have phones on these things?

17. incubus- I MISS YOU

To see you when I wake up
Is a gift I didn't think could be real
To know that you feel the same as I do
Is a three-fold utopian dream

You do something to me that I can't explain
So would I be out of line if I said
I miss you?

I see your picture
I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine
You have only been gone ten days
But already I'm wasting away
I know I'll see you again
Whether far or soon
But I need you to know that I care
And I miss you
