Yellowcard - View From Heaven
I'm just so tired
Won't you sing me to sleep
Fly through my dreams
So I can hitch a ride
With you tonight
And get away from this place
Have a new name and face
I just ain't the same without you in my life
Late night drives
All alone in my car
I can't help but start
Singing lines
From all our favorite songs
And melodies in the air
Singing, life just ain't fair
But sometimes I still just can't
Believe you're gone
[chorus]
And I'm sure the view from Heaven
Beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in Heaven
Then we will make it through
One more year, down here
Feel your fire, when it's cold in my heart
And things sorta start reminding me
Of my last night with you
I only need one more day
Just one more chance to say
I wish that I had gone up with you too
[chorus]
You won't be coming back
And I didn't get to say goodbye
I really wish I got to say goodbye
[chorus]
I hope that all is well in Heaven
Cause it's all shot to hell down here
I hope that I find you in Heaven
Cause I'm so lost without you down here
You won't be coming back
And I didn't get to say goodbye
I really wish I got to say goodbye
Sarah McLachlan - I will remember you
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories

Guster - I Spy
We went down to the May parade
Mumbled words under my breath
There is something I've been meaning to do
I am dying to tell you
I've been so damned tired
It went down at the May parade
Bitter words under my breath
There is something I've been dying to do
I was meaning to tell you
I've been so damned sad
'Cause I spy something bad
You don't know how far you've gone
Or recognize who you've become
How'd you grow to be so hard
Sick of playing my part
We went down at the May parade
Alcohol under my breath
There is something I've been meaning to do
I am dying to tell you
I've been so damned sad
'Cause I spy something bad
You dont know how far you've gone
Or recognize who you've become
How'd you grow to be so hard
Sick of playing my part
Guster - All The Way Up To Heaven
He said to only look up
He said to never look down
Down is where we came from
He said to hope for the best
Take a load off our chest
Soon I could be happy
And go all the way up to heaven
And go all the way back home
He thought I might need his help
No one gets high on themselves
I just seem so lonely
He's just trying to be nice
And spread around his advice
I could be that happy
And go all the way up to heaven
And go all the way back home
Stay the way I am today is certain more disaster
He can tell a fairy tale it's happily ever after
Just relax and greener grass will grow here for a change
Maybe then we'll last a million years or more or more or more
And go all the way up to heaven
And go all the way back home
Yes, I do believe what he says
I want to be happy
I could sure use his help
No one gets by on themselves
He can make me happy
It's a warm summer breeze
It's a weakness in your knees
It's a perfect place for everlasting love
Nothing to fear nothing to hide
You just say what's on your mind
Needn't think before you speak
This is how it's meant to be
Ever high never fall
You can do no wrong at all
In this heaven up above
Filled with everlasting love
To the light
To the light
Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth,
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You'll say I've took the name in vain,
But I dont even know the name,
But if I did, well, really whats it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesnt matter which are heard
the holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasnt much
I couldnt feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didnt come to fool you.
And even though it all went wrong,
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my *tongue* but Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Billy Joel - Only The Good Die Young
Come out, Virginia. Don't let me wait.
You Catholic girls start much too late,
Oh, but sooner or later, it comes down to fate.
I might as well be the one.
Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray.
They built you a temple and locked you away,
Oh, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done.
Only the good die young.
That's what I said
Only the good, die young
Only the good die young
You might've heard I run with a dangerous crowd.
We ain't too pretty. We ain't too proud.
We might be laughing a bit too loud,
Oh, but that never hurt no one.
So come on, Virginia, show me a sign,
Send up a signal. I'll throw you a line.
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun,
Darlin' only the good die young
Whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo
I tell ya, only the good die young
Only the good die young
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation.
You got a brand new soul
Mmmmm, and a cross of gold,
But, Virginia, they didn't give you quite enough information.
You didn't count on me
When you were counting on your rosary.
Oh oh ooh
They say there's a heaven for those who will wait.
Some say it's better but I say it ain't.
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.
The sinners are much more fun,
Ya know that only the good die young
Ho ho ho baby
I tell ya, only the good die young
Only the good die young
You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation.
Ohh,she never cared for me,
Did she ever say a prayer for me?
Oh oh ohh
Come out, come out, come out Virginia Don't let me wait.
You Catholic girls start much too late,
But sooner or later, it comes down to fate.
I might as well be the one
Ya know that only the good die young
Tell ya baby
Ya know that only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the good
Only the good die young
Whoo whoo whoo whoo whooo....
Tim McGraw - Please Remember Me
When all our tears have reached the sea.
Part of you will live in me.
Way down deep inside my heart.
The days keep coming without fail.
A new wind is gonna find your sail.
That's where your journey starts.
You'll find better love,
Strong as it ever was,
Deep as the river runs,
Warm as the morning sun.
Please remember me.
Just like the waves down by the shore,
We're gonna keep on coming back for more.
Cause we don't ever wanna stop.
Out in this brave new world you seek
O'er the valleys and the peaks
And I can see you on the top.
Repeat Chorus
Remember me when you're out walking
When snow falls high outside your door
Late at night when you're not sleeping
And moonlight falls across your floor.
I can't hurt you anymore.
Repeat Chorus.
Eve 6 - Open Road Song
Tonight I feel ambitious
and so does my foot
as it sinks on the pedal
I press it to the floor
I don't need a girl
don't need a friend
cause my friend lonesome's unconditional
We're flying forever bored
And for a moment I love everything
that I see and think and feel
I love my broken side view mirror
Cause it's so perfect
I'm so perfect
you're so perfect
you're not here
I hear the change in gears
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
This is an open road song
The night is beckoning
although I have nowhere to go but home
Feels good to be alone
With every turn comes a new frame of mind
if I could frame my mind
Where would it hang?
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
This is an open road song
I crack a window and feel the cool air cleanse my every pore
As I pour my poor heart out
To a radio song that's patient and willing to listen
My volume drowns it out
But that's O.K.
Cause I sound better than him anyway any day
yeah my voice is sweet as salt
I search for comfort and I find it
where I've found it many times before
Times before can be forgotten
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
This is an open road song

Oooh, what I really wanna say is there's just one
Way back and I'll make it, yeah
My soul will have to wait.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wyclef Jean - Gone Til November
Intro
I dedicate this record, "The Carnival",
to all you brothers taiking long trips down sout,
Virgina, Baltimore, all around the world,
and your girl gets this message that you ain't coming back.
She's sitting in the room, the lights are off, she's crying,
and then my voice comes inn.
POW..:! in the middle of the night, and this is what I told her for you:
Chorus
Everytime I make a run, girl, you turn around and cry
I ask myself why, oh why
See, you must understand I can’t work a 9 till 5
So I’ll be gone till November
Said I’ll be gone till November
Yo, tell my girl, yo, I’ll be gone till November
I’ll be gone till november, I’ll be gone till November
Yo, tell my girl, yo, I’ll be gone till November
January, February, March, April, May
I see you crying, but girl I can’t stay
I’ll be gone till November, I’ll be gone till November
And give a kiss to my mother
Verse 1
When i come back, there’ll be no need to clock
I’ll have anough money to buy out blocks
Tell my brother:"Go to school in September"
So he won't mess up in summer school in the summer
Tell my cousin, Jerry, wear his condom
If you don't wear condom, you'll see a red lump
Woh oh oh oh
You sucker MC's, you got no flow
I heard your style, you're s-o s-o
Chorus
Verse 2
I had to flip nuttingand turn it into something
Hip-hop turns to the future rock when I smash a punk (BING!)
Commit treason, then I'll have a reason to hunt you down
It's only right, it's rapping season
Yeah, you with the loud voice, posing like you're top choice
Your voice, I'll make a hearse out of your Rolls Royce
Besides, I got my girl to remember
And I'll commit it that I'll be back in November
Chorus
I know the hustle's hard, but we gotta enterprise, the carnival
i probably have more, ill let you know
Yellowcard - View From Heaven
I'm just so tired
Won't you sing me to sleep
Fly through my dreams
So I can hitch a ride
With you tonight
And get away from this place
Have a new name and face
I just ain't the same without you in my life
Late night drives
All alone in my car
I can't help but start
Singing lines
From all our favorite songs
And melodies in the air
Singing, life just ain't fair
But sometimes I still just can't
Believe you're gone
[chorus]
And I'm sure the view from Heaven
Beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in Heaven
Then we will make it through
One more year, down here
Feel your fire, when it's cold in my heart
And things sorta start reminding me
Of my last night with you
I only need one more day
Just one more chance to say
I wish that I had gone up with you too
[chorus]
You won't be coming back
And I didn't get to say goodbye
I really wish I got to say goodbye
[chorus]
I hope that all is well in Heaven
Cause it's all shot to hell down here
I hope that I find you in Heaven
Cause I'm so lost without you down here
You won't be coming back
And I didn't get to say goodbye
I really wish I got to say goodbye

SUblime - Santeria
I don't practice Santeria,
I ain't got no crystal ball
Well I had a million dollars but I'd,
I'd spent it all
If I could find that Heina
And that Sancho that she's found
well I'd pop a cap in Sancho and I'd slap her down
What I really wanna know, my baby
what I really wanna say, I can't define
Well it's love that I neeeeeed, oh, oh
My soul will have to wait 'til I get back
Find a Heina of my own
Daddy's gonna love one and all
And I feel the break, feel the break, feel the break
And I gotta live it up oh, yeah- huh, well, I swear that I
What I really wanna know, my baby
What I really wanna say, I can't define
Got love, make go my soul will have to...
Ooh, what I really wanna say, my baby
What I really wanna say is I've got mine
And I'll make it, yes I'm goin up
Tell Sanchito that if he knows what is good for him
He'd best go run and hide,
Daddy's got a new .45
And I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down Sancho's throat
Believe me when I say that I got something for his punk ass!
What I really wanna know, my baby
Oooh, what I really wanna say is there's just one
Way back and I'll make it, yeah
My soul will have to wait.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wyclef Jean - Gone Til November
Intro
I dedicate this record, "The Carnival",
to all you brothers taiking long trips down sout,
Virgina, Baltimore, all around the world,
and your girl gets this message that you ain't coming back.
She's sitting in the room, the lights are off, she's crying,
and then my voice comes inn.
POW..:! in the middle of the night, and this is what I told her for you:
Chorus
Everytime I make a run, girl, you turn around and cry
I ask myself why, oh why
See, you must understand I can’t work a 9 till 5
So I’ll be gone till November
Said I’ll be gone till November
Yo, tell my girl, yo, I’ll be gone till November
I’ll be gone till november, I’ll be gone till November
Yo, tell my girl, yo, I’ll be gone till November
January, February, March, April, May
I see you crying, but girl I can’t stay
I’ll be gone till November, I’ll be gone till November
And give a kiss to my mother
Verse 1
When i come back, there’ll be no need to clock
I’ll have anough money to buy out blocks
Tell my brother:"Go to school in September"
So he won't mess up in summer school in the summer
Tell my cousin, Jerry, wear his condom
If you don't wear condom, you'll see a red lump
Woh oh oh oh
You sucker MC's, you got no flow
I heard your style, you're s-o s-o
Chorus
Verse 2
I had to flip nuttingand turn it into something
Hip-hop turns to the future rock when I smash a punk (BING!)
Commit treason, then I'll have a reason to hunt you down
It's only right, it's rapping season
Yeah, you with the loud voice, posing like you're top choice
Your voice, I'll make a hearse out of your Rolls Royce
Besides, I got my girl to remember
And I'll commit it that I'll be back in November
Chorus
I know the hustle's hard, but we gotta enterprise, the carnival
i probably have more, ill let you know
