Autumn heartbreak.

Oct 12, 2008 01:32

Because there's no way I'm going to get to sleep tonight.




For wrapping yourself up in your warmest sweater and lying on the hammock watching the leaves fall, knowing that it has to get better.

It has to.

yann tierson | l'absente
[instrumental]

charlotte martin | the dance
i don't need a balloon and a pin, the name of the game is outrunning the blame.
so i hate you and love you we're friends. guess we'll be friends, i guess we'll be friends.
[...]
it's okay this love weighs fifty men. oh why can't you take me in your arms now?

basia bulat | little waltz
i know i tried, but it's hard sometimes. the roots don't take, it takes a while,
and you pull at the strings but they're broken. it seems the dance isn't over for me, no.

sara bareilles | gravity
you hold me without touch. you keep me without chains.
i never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
set me free, leave me be. i don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.

citizen cope | sideways
these feelings won't go away, they've been knockin' me sideways.
i keep thinking in a moment that time will take them away,
but these feelings won't go away.

rilo kiley | draggin' around
here’s to all the words that we’ll never speak.
here’s to all the pretty girls that you’re going to meet.
here’s to the little lies i tell in my sleep.
here’s to the secrets that you’re going to keep.

jon mclaughlin | indiana
the trick of love is to never let it find you, it's easy to get over missing out.
i know the how's and whens, but now and then, she's all i think about.

maria mena | sorry
i just poured my heart out, there's bits of it on the floor.
and i take what's left of it and rinse it under cold water, and call him up for more.
and i say baby, yes i feel stupid to call you, but i'm lonely,
and i don't think you meant it when you said you couldn't love me.
and i thought maybe if i kissed the way you do, you'd feel it too.
he said i'm sorry, so sorry.

tom mcrae | vampire heart
darling, i'm lost, adrift in the dark. i'm clutching your words to my vampire heart once more.
so let in the light, turn me to dust. if it don't end in bloodshed, dear,
it's probably not love.
[...]
so i curse you, my vampire heart, for letting me love you.

vienna teng | nothing without you
it's the quiet night that breaks me. i cannot stand the sight of this familiar place.
it's the quiet night that breaks me, like a dozen papercuts that only i can trace.
all my books are lying useless now. all my maps will only show me how to lose my way.
oh, call my name, you know my name, and in that sound, everything will change.
tell me it won't always be this hard. i am nothing without you, but i don't know who you are.

ani difranco | rock paper scissors
it's rock paper scissors as to whether i will get over you at all.
it's hand against hand and both hands are mine.
[...]
this melancholy that i carry makes me feel so grown up,
at the kitchen table doing shots of resignation.
i never thought i'd see the day when i would i say
i give up, and break the stallions of my wildest expectations,
but i do not want to know you this way, surrounded by so much pain.

rilo kiley | wire and waves
and sometimes planes, they smash up in the sky,
and sometimes lonely hearts, they just get lonelier and lonelier.

saving jane | happy
i can walk around with a pretty face on even when i'm black and blue.
what's the point in telling everybody i'm not over you?
i'm so happy for you, i could cry.

the weepies | not your year
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.
every day it starts again, you cannot say if you're happy.
you keep trying to be, try harder, maybe this is not your year.

kim ferron | nothing but you
i think i'll go for a walk, maybe out in the rain.
maybe let the tears roll down my face and not feel the pain.
maybe think about something, maybe think about you.
[...]
why do you have to be so unkind?
why do i have to be so inclined to lose my mind?
