Monthly Mix :: May 2011 :: My Dreams Are Bigger Than Me
May
My dreams are bigger than me
How will I get there, who will I have to be?
DREAMS - BRANDI CARLILE
And now, in my dreams
I can feel the wait, I can just come clean
I keep it to myself, I know what it means
I can't have you but I have dreams
How long can you hold your breath?
Can you count to ten, can you let it pass?
And keep, can you keep it in?
And keep it behind lashes, can you make it last?
THEY SAY YOU GROW - BUTTERFLY BOUCHER
My dreams are bigger than me
How will I get there?
Who will I have to be?
I'm so eager and I'm so scared
There's so much to see
They say you grow when you're asleep in bed
I won't give in
I must up the fight
I'm gonna keep my eyes wide
All day and night
OH, HOWARD! - CHARLENE KAYE
Oh, I'm thinking this could be bad
After all, you've been here just as long as my dad has
But age is but a number, so I'm still gonna say -
What a mind!
What a man!
Howard, marry me today!
'Cause you're handsomer than George Clooney
You'd never mention your Harvard degree
You like the word bourgeoisie
And you don't know what you do to me
No, you don't know what you do to me
A LACK OF COLOR - DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE
I'm reaching for the phone to call at 7:03
And on your machine, I slur a plea
For you to come home
But I know it's too late
I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay
THOMAS O'MALLEY CAT - THE ARISTOCATS
I only got myself
And this big old world
But I sip that cup of life
With my fingers curled
I don't worry what road to take
I don't have to think of that
Whatever I take is the road I make
It's the road of life make no mistake
For me, yeah
Abraham De Lacy
Guiseppe Casey
Thomas O'Malley
O'Malley the alley cat
SLUNG-LO - ERIN MCKEOWN
It is my style to take awhile
To put the feeling down to page
I get around to making sound
When the fancy meets the phrase
"She was so down, look at her now
She's never been so high!
Everyone knows, give it some time
The clouds'll clear the sky!"
I MET UP WITH THE KING - FIRST AID KIT
I met up with the king
He confessed his body was burning
I met up with the king
His body had begun to rot
And he said don't think less of me
I'm still the same man I used to be
But no one believed him
No one believed him
THE GREAT ESTATES - FREELANCE WHALES
And I swim through dirt
To find you out
And a wail without his family history is
And I used to shout
To find my way
The water find my distant memory failed
Look into the reigns of a great estate
Better lights pull you out of the ground
Seep into the wood of the great estates
Animals your soul will guide
I WANNA BE THE ONE - FUN.
Clever comes in truth when truth begets the past
Its sends its call out to the moon
And the moon can see the beauty that surrounds your heart as it pounds
It starts the beat inspiring me until I make the sound
BARLIGHTS - FUN.
So he calls us all sheep
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.
(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
Then he swears he's gotta take this call
Man, I get scared he's gonna leave us too soon.
EILEEN - THE HUSH SOUND
When blood and youth were warmer
We breathed summer like the sweet air
We found each other like a mirror
We were so optimistic
It was so easy to be
We were young and naive
Can you pull down the dawn?
It's been so dark since you've been gone
And we've been begging for the morning to come
DEAD MAN (CARRY ME) - JARS OF CLAY
I woke up from a dream about an empty funeral
But is was better than the party full of people I don't really know
They've got hearts to break and burn
Dirty hands to feel the earth
There's something in my veins,
But I can't seem to make it work... won't work
So Carry Me,
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe,
I want to be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan
SNOW WHITE - JAYMAY
Outside the window a shower scattered
Drop after drop of sound pitter-pattered
Pitter-pattered, pitter-pattered
The wall is white and streaked and splattered
The pipes are broken, the leak, oh, no matter to me
'Cause I prefer this distraction
When the piano calls off key
STAY AWAKE - LYDIA
Because I can't breathe
With these words on my tongue
But San Francisco still sounds lovely
And he swears he still loves you
He still loves you
He called, lonely
So stay awake, and I'll stay
I try and go, but your game
It waits for me and you, love
So cover up for the rain
You see in a way too much safety
Because I don't stand a chance
Any longer than you do my friend
But you're still keeping me sane
ONE MORE DAY - LYDIA
Well I saw you fall back once, love
But I can't stay, stay like this weather swirls,
Cause you've become sick like this winter girl.
Two more days, just two more
THUMBELINA - NIGHTMARE OF YOU
The lyrics to this song are just awful, dear Lord help me for liking it so much. :P
STORY - THE ROCKET SUMMER
And I'm not saying that I'm any better than you.
Sometimes I have motives that are just so stupid and I play the fool.
But man, you're killing me
The charade has got to end,
So stop acting like you know everything,
Because you're missing the point,
You are supposed to be my friend...
OVER IT OVER AGAIN - SHE & HIM
Why do I always want to sock it you hard?
Let you know what love is like
When I'm keeping all my cards up on the shelf
Where you can't see them.
Why do I always want to keep it to myself?
Taking advantage only works when
You're leaving someone else out in the dark
