Okay, an explination, I consider "years" in my life to start in the fall, go to spring, and then I consider summer neither here nor there. Year Two contains last summer, but Year One also alludes to it. It's rather confusing and you just shouldn't try to think into it too much. And disc two track four, the Fray? Bought it on itunes, so I can't hand it out to y'all.
Also know that I don't care who you are, I have a deep moral standing against .zip files and refuse to make them.
Year One
01.
the blower's daughter - damien riceand so it is, just like you said it should be
we'll both forget the breeze - most of the time
and so it is; the colder water, the blower's daughter, the pupil in denial
and i can't take my eyes off of you
02.
i wonder - gregory douglassi wonder how you got here, wonder if it we'll make it to tomorrow
i wonder if it's falling stars - and if it's falling stars, i wonder what i'm gaining
but if the raining stops, and if the raining stops,
i won't give up, i've given all i've got
i'd give my life to love someone like you
and i can't go on until the wildest of my dreams comes true
and if there's a god that's watching every move
how could he let me down? how could he let me drown?
03. least complicated - indigo girlssome long ago when we were taught, that for whatever kind of puzzle you got
you just stick the right formula in - a solution for every fool
and i remember the time when i came so close to you
sent me skipping my class and running from school
and i bought you that ring cause i never was cool
what makes me think i could start clean slated?
the hardest to learn was the least complicated
so i just sit up in the house and resist, and not be seen until i cease to exist
a kind of conscientious objection - a kind of dodging the draft
the boy and girl are holding hands on the street, and i don't want to but i think you just wait
04.
the captain - kasey chambersi'll tell them i won't be around,
i'll move on over to your town and hide
and you be the captain and I'll be no one, a
nd you can carry me away if you want to
and you can lay low, just like your father
and if i tread upon your feet you just say so
because you're the captain, i am no one, i tend to feel as though i owe one to you
05.
head over feet - alanis morissetteyou've already won me over in spite of me, and don't be alarmed if i fall head over feet
and don't be surprised if i love you for all that you are
i couldn't help it - it's all your fault
you are the bearer of unconditional things
you held your breath and the door for me - thanks for your patience
you're the best listener that i've ever met
and you're my best friend - best friend with benefits
06.
crestfallen - smashing pumpkinswho am i to need you when I'm down?
and where are you when i need you around?
your life is not your own - and all i ask you
is for another chance, another way around you
to live by circumstance, once again
but who am I to need you now? to ask you why to tell you no? to deserve your love and sympathy?
you were never meant to belong to me
07.
act naturally - semisonicour little secret just might be the kind of thing that you can't hide
it's growing like a tangled vine & rising like a river in the tide
and everybody knew when you walked into the room - i was just a fool for you, nothing i could do
everybody sees you taking control of me
well i'm not begging for release, i'm just begging darling please, please
act naturally - don't let our troubles show, don't let anybody know
till we get it figured out, don't give them anything that they could doubt
our little problem doesn't seem to be about to go away
as far as I can tell it's gonna keep on showing more with every day
and everybody look, yeah, that was all it took
i can't help believing they can read me like a book
so hide your feelings tight till we figure how to make it right
i don't know what I should but i'd do it if I could
08.
out of range - world without sundaysi want you
i want you to tell me how
i want you to tell me just how did we get here
and why is it only me that we always talk about?
forever
forever since you called
it seems like forever it's been since you called me
my first name and I don’t know what that means, but it can’t be good
'cause we're out of range, and we’re too far to change the way we feel
so let's say now before it's too late - when it's over we'll start again
in the morning
in the morning i look at you
in the morning i look at you and think to myself
why did i do this again, and i don't know what i'm supposed to do
09.
goodnight and go - imogen heapskipping beats, blushing cheeks, i am struggling
daydreaming, bed scenes in the corner cafe
and then i'm left in bits recovering tectonic tremblings
you get me every time,
so why'd you have to be so cute?
it's impossible to ignore you
and must you make me laugh so much?
it's bad enough we get along so well
say goodnight and go
10.
mona lisa - gusterif in the morning you look up, fake a smile and you sigh
don't fear the future - in the years to come you'll learn
i used to sit and watch the pouring rain
i used to wish to be back home again
i hadn't the strength then, i hadn't the chance to reveal it
but it's all in your hands, so when do we begin?
11.
1000 oceans - tori amosthese tears i've cried, i've cried 1000 oceans
and if it seems i'm floating in the darkness
well, i can't believe that I would keep, keep you from flying
and I would cry 1000 more if that's what it takes to sail you home
i'm aware what the rules are, but you know that i will run
you know that i will follow you
12.
hang - matchbox twentythe trouble understand, is she got reasons he don't
funny how he couldn't see at all, until she grabbed up her coat
and she goes, she's been here too few years to take it all in stride
but still it's much too long, to let hurt go (you let her go)
and we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
but if there's nothing there to make things change
if it's the same for you i'll just hang
if it's the same for you, i'll always hang
13.
never is a promise - fiona appleyou'll say "don't fear your dreams" - it's easier than it seems
you'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high
but never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
you'll never live this life that I live,
and i'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
you'll never hear the message i give
you'll say it looks as though i might give up this fight
but as the scenery grows i see in different lights
the shades and shadows undulate in my perception
my feelings swell and stretch, i see from greater heights
i realize what i am now too smart to mention, to you
you'll say you understand, but you'll never understand
i'll say i'll never wake up knowing how or why
i don't know what to believe in, you don't know who i am
you'll say I need appeasing when i start to cry
but never is a promise and i'll never need a lie
14.
raining in baltimore - counting crowsand i get no answers, and i don't get no change
it's raining in baltimore, baby, but everything else is the same
there's things i remember and things i forget
i miss you - i guess that i should
you're three thousand five hundred miles away - but what would you change if you could?
15.
we're just friends - wilcoover and over and over again, i say that were just friends
forget the implications - infatuations end
if love's so easy, why is it hard?
i can't imagine ever being apart, so i'll come back to you
it'll be brand new
but i promise, we're just friends
16.
good times gonna come - aqualungsee me then, investing so much in you, in you,
and you came so close to the edge - i do, i do, i do
this is just one of those lonely nights - the good times gonna come
but in the end, we let it go away, we let it float away on the breeze
around the bend, the sun is in the sky, and itt's starting to look like
it's gonna be, yeah, it's gonna be a bright, beautiful day
Year Two
01.
fair - remy zerohey, are you lonely? has summer gone so slowly?
we found the ground, but that damage was done - it's cold as you fade into the sun.
where'd you go? to me?...
you know i love you, you know i love you - i want you oh so much
it's so fair.
when i was sure you'd follow through, my world was turned to blue
when you'd hide your songs would die, so I'd hide yours with mine.
and all my words were bound to fall, but i know you won't fail
02.
wandering - ben folds fiveshe's a million miles away from me,
separated by a hollow wooden door and some time we can't erase
serves me right to let her in the first time she knocked...
things you never saw in me, she'll see;
observations that she'd heard from other people, but she never understood
amd it serves her right not knowing just exactly what she wants...
and you told me all those things, remember that?
you told me you can't match your clothes, remember that?
i confessed that when i laugh sometimes I'm crying
and then we sat and didn't talk for half an hour
remember that alone, because i won't remember anymore
03.
i saw - matt nathansonand it's amazing - the look in your eyes,
like you could save me, but you won't even try
and then you tell me again how everything will be alright
And if i told you that i'm sorry, would you tell me that you were wrong?
or would you hold me down forever if i came to your for answers?
and i saw pictures in my head, and i swear i saw you opening up, again
and i would be heavenly if baby you'd just rescue me, now
when i'm surrounded, you spill - all alive and brand new
and i'll forget about you long enough to forget why I need to
04. over my head (cable car) - the fray
i never knew, i never knew that everything was falling through
that everyone i knew was waiting on cue to turn and run
when all i needed was the truth - but if that's how it's got to be
it's coming down to nothing more than apathy
i'd rather run the other way than stay and see the smoke and who's still standing when it clears
everyone knows I'm in over my head, over my head
with eight seconds left in overtime, she's on your mind, she's on your mind
let's rearrange - i wish you were a stranger i could disengage
let's say that we agree and then never change - soften a bit until we all just get along
but that's disregard, and you'll find another friend you can discard
05.
be be your love - rachael yamagataif i could take you away, and pretend i was queen
what would you say - would you think me unreal?
because everybody's got their way i should feel
and everybody's talking how I can't, can't be your love
but i want, want, want to be your love, want to be your love for real
everybody's talking how i can't, can't be your love
but i want, want, want to be your love, want to be your love for real
i want to be your everything, everything,
everything's falling, and i am included in that,
and oh how i try to be just okay, but all i ever really wanted was a little piece of you.
06.
childlike wildlife - jason mrazi see no boundaries except for the ones i'm in
and i don't expect you to overcome them, for that's my job description
in a world of players and private eyes, unless you realize this, there's a whole lot you could miss...
and early in the morning, and late in the evening, evening
we kinda get delirious
breaking from the seriousness, i try not to get disoriented...
is it any wonder how I miss your smile?
is it any wonder, well, is it any wonder how i write pages layered on pages
to which no one else but me can be accounted for
and for this moment's sake, i do not become me...
i do not watch as often as i should, so instead i sketch my life
as a comfortable creature - slow and beautifully...
and i'm very much aware of the madness of slow motion as you move your legs to walk
and i'm very much aware of this madness when you talk
07.
i know - fiona appleand i will pretend that i dont know of your sins until you're ready to confess
but all the time, all the time, i'll know, i'll know
and you can use my skin to bury your secrets in, and i will settle you down
and at my own suggestion, i will ask no questions while i do my thing in the background
but all the time, all the time - i'll know
but baby, i can't help you out while she's still around
so for the time being, i'm being patient
and amidst this bitterness, if you'll consider this - even if it dont make sense
08.
breathe in - frou froui read you, and god, i'm good at it - i'm so spot on
chord shapes in air, go press that dissonance - if you dare
and you, breathing in, all finesse and innocence
and i'm high enough from all the waiting to ride a wave on your inhaling
and i'm high enough from all the waiting to ride a wave on your inhaling
because i love you, can't help but love, you know
09.
untouchable face - ani difrancothink i'm going for a walk now, i feel a little unsteady
i don't want nobody to follow me, except maybe you
i could make you happy, you know, if you weren't already
i could do a lot of things - and i do
to tell you the truth i prefer the worst of you - too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type, but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it - you're perfect together
so fuck you and your untouchable face
and fuck you for existing in the first place
and who am i that i should be vying for your touch?
and who am i? i bet you can't even tell me that much...
you know, i don't look forward to seeing you again soon
you'll look like a photograph of yourself taken from far, far away
and i won't know what to do, and i won't know what to say
10.
the fear you won't fall - joshua radini know you're scared that i'll soon be over it, but that's part of it all
part of the beauty of falling in love with you is the fear you won't fall
it hasn't felt like this before, it hasn't felt like home before you
and i know it's easy to say, but it's harder to feel this way
and i miss you more than i should, than i thought i could, i can't get my mind off of you
11.
file me away - badly drawn boyfile me away in your heart, and someday you'll just be you, and i'll be me, okay?
12.
la cienega just smiled - ryan adamsoh the night, it comes again, and it's on with the jeans, the jacket and the shirt
how'd i end up feeling so bad for such a little girl?
and i hold you close in the back of my mind - it feels so good but damn, it makes me hurt
and i'm too scared to know just how i feel about you now
La Cienega just smiles and says "i'll see you around"
and i hold you close in the back of my mind, and raise my glass, because either way i'm dead
neither of you really help me to sleep anymore, one breaks my body and the other breaks my soul
13.
desert sunrise - brett denneni'm a lizard, sunbathing in your radiance
but oh, i come out of hiding, so sweet, so sweet you are
if i could only have a taste, wrap my lips around your flavor
just because you are you, and just because you are so beautiful
and i've been waiting all this life in the company of one
and i know i am young, but I don't want to be alone
so if you could only just consider the two of us - and i know darling, i could be so good to you
14.
chasing cars - snow patrolall that i am and all that i ever was
is here in your perfect eyes, they're all i can see
and i don't know where, confused about how as well
just know that these things will never change for us at all
so if i lay here, if i just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?
15.
i need some sleep - eelsi need some sleep, you can't go on like this.
i try counting sheep, but there's one i always miss.
everyone says i'm getting down too low
everyone says, "you just got to let it go"
16.
not your year - the weepiesevery day it starts again, and you cannot say if you’re happy
you keep trying to be, but try harder,
because maybe, maybe this is not your year
and movies, tv screens reflect just what you expected;
there's a world of shiny people somewhere else out there,
following their bliss,living easy, getting kissed
while you wonder what else you're doing wrong
breathe through it, write a list of desires
make a toast, make a wish, slash some tires
and paint a heart repeating, beating "don't give up, don't give up, don’t give up."
