Back Before We Were Brittle--Say Hi to Your Mom
Hey, remember when
we could save kittens from trees?
Or lunch on skyscrapers?
Bring the villains to their knees?
Can't Help Falling in Love--Ingrid Michaelson
Wise men say only fools rush
But I can't help falling in love with you
Devotion--Indigo Girls
Blood runs thick and when it rains it pours down
on the family tree and the fields of war
if I spend my time being broken hearted
and grieving bound
Well I haven't much need to look forward
Hakuna Matata--The Lion King
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Ithaca--Redbird
We leave this cursed city in the same way we come in
We trace the roads
On the way out, we she'd our certainties like clothes
We thought this was our sacrifice
But the world knew otherwise
And took you from us
Before your time, right before our eyes
Keep Breathing--Ingrid Michaelson
I want to believe in more than you and me.
But all that I know is I'm breathing.
All I can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.
One of Us is Gonna Die Young--The Ark
We gotta hurry with no worry to get done today
Cause one of us is gonna die young
Let’s put our money where our mouth is and get out today
Cause one of us is gonna die young
The Origin of Love--Rufus Wainwright
Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
Pictures--Loudon Wainwright III
You were looking at my paper,
Watching what I drew;
It was natural: I was older,
Thirteen months more than you.
A brother and a sister,
A little boy and girl,
And whoever took that picture
Captured our own world.
Seek You Out--Poets of the Fall
Never knew if we were really true
Never thought I'd ever get to you
Never thought I'd end up like this
Never was I stronger than I'm now
Never felt this much a fool somehow
Never had much thought for myself
Still Hurting--The Last 5 Years
Jamie arrived at the end of the line
Jamie's convinced that the problems are mine
Jamie is probably feeling just fine
And I'm still hurting
Three Hits--Indigo Girls
Three hits to the heart son
And it's poetry in motion.
One could send you down the river
Three's a strange way to be delivered.
Would you trade your words for freedom?
That's a barter for a blind man
Three hits to the heart son,
And it's poetry in motion.
Two Little Girls--Ani DiFranco
you were always half crazy, now look at you baby
make about as much sense as a nursery rhyme
love is a piano dropped out a four story window
and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time
Whole Wide World--Wreckless Eric
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Find out where they hide her
Why I Love the Movies--Kooman and Dimond
I love how a hero flies
Soaring through the nighttime skies
You never hear a hero cry
You never see a hero die
A hero may feel the enemy near
But a hero will not shed a tear
No, a hero will not live in fear
It 5--Architecture in Helsinki
Can I ride with you
Until the sunset gets all red?
And we'll get chased by the moon
45--Shinedown
In these times of doing what you're told
You keep these feelings, no one knows
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
9 Crimes--Damien Rice
Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it?
