And when the lights go down, that is where I'll be found.

Made as a present for effulgent_erica




For sprawling out on your lawn and picking out the constellations (or making up your own).

01. The Decemberists || Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect
And I am nothing of a builder,
but here I dreamt I was an architect,
and I built this balustrade
to keep you home, to keep you safe
from the outside world.

02. Fiona Apple || Across The Universe
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
they call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box,
they tumble blindly as they make their way
across the universe.

03. Joshua Radin || Everything'll Be Alright
And I think to myself, it's a beautiful night,
and I know everything is gonna be alright.
Yes now I know it'll be alright.

04. Anberlin || The Haunting
Up on this hill, in this uncanny house,
your spirit I can't see, but I still believe
I can feel your breath on me.
You haunt me baby, you haunt me here tonight.

05. Kevin Devine || Heaven Bound And Glory Be
So now its later than it needs to be,
and in the dulcet tones of dream,
the prince atop his chariot,
Heaven bound and glory be.

06. Ani DiFranco || Independence Day
We drove the car to the top of the parking ramp,
on the 4th of July,
and I planted my dusty boots on the bumper and sat out on the hood,
and looked up at the sky.

07. Jets to Brazil || Sweet Avenue
Holding you, we make two spoons beneath an April moon.
Everything is soft and sweet.
This cigarette, it could seduce a nation with its smoke,
crawling down my tired throat,
scratches part of me that's purring,
softly stirring.

08. Anouk || Lost
Lost in this world,
I even get lost in this song,
and when the lights go down,
that is where I'll be found.

09. Andrew Bird || Weather Systems
Hold still a while,
don’t spill the wine.
I can see it all from here.
I can see, I can see,
weather systems of the world.

10. Guillemots || Blue Would Still Be Blue
And if I had you, all the stars wouldn't fall from the sky,
and the moon wouldn't start to cry
There'd be no earthquakes, I'd still make mistakes.
If I had you, oh there'd still be day and night,
and I'd still do wrong and right.
Oh, blue would still be blue,
but things would be easier with you.

11. Feist || Brandy Alexander
Though you know what I love most of him,
I'm walking on needles and pins.
My addiction to the worst of him.
The low moon helps me sing.

12. Rachael Yamagata || Duet
Oh, lover, I know you’ll be out there and be thinking just of me.
I will find you down the road,
and we’ll return back home to where we’re meant to be.
'Cause I remember what we said,
as we lay down to bed,
we’ll be back as soon as we make history.
