(download here)
(1) Be Gentle With Me - The Boy Least Likely To
So just be gentle with me
(And if I am ever mean)
And I'll be gentle with you
(I never mean to be mean)
'Cause I want to pick peaches off of a cherry tree.
Just be gentle, be gentle, be gentle,
Be gentle with me.
(2) Warm and Sunny Days - The Dears
I get so paranoid
I've got to think of warm and sunny days
Imagining and planning out the course of both our lives
But that is as far
As I am willing to go
Planning out the rest of both our lives
Stay
(3) Crown of Love - Arcade Fire
You gotta be the one,
You gotta be the way,
Your name is the only word that I can say
(4) Crash Into Me - Dave Matthews Band
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
And sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost for you
(5) Lovesong - The Cure
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you
(6) Hello, I’m In Delaware - City & Colour
My body aches,
and it hurts to sing,
and no one is moving
And I wish that I weren't here tonight,
but this is my life
And I will see you again
I will see you again, a long time from now
(7) I Never - Rilo Kiley
So baby, be good to me
I got nothing to give you, you see
Except everything, everything,
Everything, everything,
All the good and the bad
(8) Uprising Down Under - Sam Roberts
I wish it was less of the way it is
I wish it were more of the way it could be
You can put your faith in me for a while
In the end I hope you're free cuz I'll be out of style
All the things that you want, I'll provide
Till your footprint is swept away by the tide
I can wait for a while, I don't mind
Yeah I can wait for a while, I got time
(9) Poses - Rufus Wainwright
The green autumnal parks conducting
All the city streets a wondrous chorus, singing
All these poses, oh how can you blame me
Life is a game and true love is a trophy
(10) Hold My Hand - Hootie and the Blowfish
Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
No comb had touched your hair
I said get up, and let me see you smile
We'll take a walk together
Walk the road awhile
--
Maybe we can't change the world, but
I wanna love you, the best that, the best that I can
note: a couple of these are admittedly bittersweet, but I'm inclined to focus more on the sweet. so should you. :)
