lyrical reflections
*Greenday
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Incubus
bat your eyes girl
be otherworldly
count your blessings
seduce a stranger
whats so wrong with
being happy?
kudos to those who
see through sickness (yeah)
over and over.....
She woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
and she called out a warning
"Dont ever let life pass you by!"
I suggest we
learn to love
ourselves before its
made illegal
when will we learn?
when will we change?
just in time to
see it all comes down....
Those left standing
will make millions
writing books on ways it should have been
She woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
and she called out a warning
"Dont ever let life pass you by!"
floating in this
cosmic jaccuzi
we are like
frogs oblivious
to the water
starting to boil
no one flinches
we all float face down

One day I woke up woke up knowing today is the day I will die
Cashdogg was barking went to the park and enjoyed that one last
time
Called my mother told her I loved her and begged her not to cry
Wrote her a letter that said I’d miss her and signed that
goodbye.
You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life is the day that I died
(the day that I died)
Can you feel the cold tonight?
It sets in but it’s alright
Darkness falls I’m letting go
All alone but I feel fine
We took a drive and we drove thru d.c.
To see the places we lived, long conversations
We talked of old friends and all the things that we did
Summer nights, drunken fights
Mistakes we made...did we live it right?
You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life is the day that I died
(the day that I died)
Can you feel the cold tonight?
It sets in but it’s alright
Darkness falls I’m letting go
All alone but I feel fine

Plain White T's
What if nobody likes me
what if I don't succeed
What if I give it all that I've got
and I still don't got what they need
What if I don't get anywhere at all
Will I consider myself a failure
will I be that small
What if she doesn't like me
what if I'm not her type
What if all the girls that ever like me
Are not the kind of girls that I like
What if I meet the right one and screw it up
Will I consider myself a failure
will I give up
I'm gonna keep trying
getting denied just makes me want it more
I'll keep trying and each time push harder than before
I can't live my life always worried about what if
'Cause what if I die tomorrow
Then I never even lived
What if they don't like me
what if they think I'm a joke
What if they act nice to my face
But they hate me and I don't even know
What if they end up stabbing me in the back
Will I consider myself a failure or will I fight back
I'm gonna keep trying
getting denied just makes me want it more
I'll keep trying and each time push harder than before
I can't live my life always worried about what if
'Cause what if I die tomorrow
Then I never even lived
stupid what-if game. grrrr.

We got somethin' we both know it
We don't talk too much about it
Yeah it ain't no real big secret all the same
Somehow we get around it
Listen it don't really matter to me baby
You believe what you want to believe
You see you don't have to live like a refugee
Somewhere, somehow somebody
Must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there
And revel in your abandon
Listen it don't make no difference to me baby
Everybody's had to fight to be free
You see you don't have to live like a refugee
Now baby you don't have to live like a refugee
Baby we ain't the first
I'm sure a lot of other lover's been burned
Right now this seems real to you
But it's one of those things
You gotta feel to be true
Somewhere, somehow somebody
Must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there
And revel in your abandon
Listen it don't make no difference to me baby
Everybody's had to fight to be free
You see you don't have to live like a refugee
Now baby you don't have to live like a refugee
