[The Telescope -- Her Space Holiday]
Rainy days, it's the end of summer
I'm locking myself inside of my room
I pressed my eye to that telescope
I thought what I saw was you
But you were just steam coming off of the road
The same stretch that runs right by my home
It will take you to my front door
And you'll say:
"Hey babe, are you ready for the world?"
Probably not, la la la la la
I killed my rage and I turned around
I saw you sitting inside of my house
With my books and your tears and your glowing hope
Looking at me through that old telescope
Because we're just a dream
With broken hearts
We're ripped at the seams and we're covered in scars
But we will follow that map just like we planned
And we will put down that 'x' wherever you and I land
Probably not, la la la la
[Worst Case Scenario - The Hoosiers]
You got out the wrong side of bed and liked it
The only love you get is unrequited
Mourning Monday all week long's not healthy
But being happy's only for the wealthy
You can’t see past the worst case scenario
You’d be happier instead if you'd stayed in bed
I pray one day I live to see you break a smile
[Invincible -- OK Go]
When they finally come what'll you do to them?
Gonna decimate them like you did to me?
Will you leave them stunned and stuttering?
When they finally come how will you handle them?
Will you devastate them deliberately?
'Cause I'm gonna guess they won't be prepared
For thousand fahrenheit hot metal lights
Behind your eyes
Invincible, you're invincible
[Head of the Hawk - Bluejuice]
I'm on the hook at the head of the hawk
I go back to sleep
I'm becoming a little obsessed
And you roll right over me
I've been a little distant lately can we be discrete
I feel myself loose grip on the wheel
And you roll right over me
I get a little dip, dip, dip, dip, dip in my mood
And I don't know why
[Manifest Destiny -- Guster]
Bones are broken and the will is sunk
How did everything get so fucked up?
Do you want to change your mind?
You can always change your mind
You and I could quit this scene
Build a town and then secede
Like an Adam and an Eve
'Cause to the dreamers go the dreams
But the leaders have the lead
It's a frightening, frightening thing
[All The Pretty Girls -- fun.]
Every single night ends up the same
I don't say much at all but I bring up your name
Over and over and over
I think it's striking me out
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night
Let it be and come to me with the look in your eyes
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down
But not you, you still wear boots
And your hair is too long
And then this one doesn't want to admit
She's fallen in love
Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, what's a boy to do?
When all the pretty girls can't measure to you
[We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed -- Los Campesinos!]
You feel terrified at the thought of being left behind
Of losing everybody, the necessity of dying
Oh, we kid ourselves there's future in the fucking
But there is no fucking future
I'm just practising my accents, picking at old sutures
I taught myself the only way to vaguely get along in love
Is to like the other slightly less than you get in return
I keep feeling like I'm being undercut
[Bleeding Heart Show -- The New Pornographers]
I leapt across three or four beds into your arms
Where I had hidden myself somewhere in your charm
Our golden handshake has been smashed into this shape
It's taken magic to a primitive new place
Watch them run, although it's the minimum, heroic
We hunched together in one chair out on the deck
In snow that froze and fell down on the modern set
It looked as if I picked your name out of a hat
Next thing you know you are asleep in someone's lap
Watch them run, although it's the minimum, heroic
[1901 -- Phoenix]
It's twenty seconds until the last call
You're going, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"
Lie down you know it's easy
Like we did it over summer long
And I'll be anything you ask and more
You're going, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"
It's not a miracle we needed
No, I wouldn't let you think so
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
[Little Secrets -- Passion Pit]
Let this be our little secret
No one needs to know we're feeling
Higher and higher and higher, higher and higher and higher
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
Up and up I keep on climbing
Higher and higher and higher, higher and higher and higher
My face blew up at such a casual sight
The smattered colors of ecstatic fright
The rush above me to oblivion
Outlining wet sidewalks in halogen
Oh, have you ever felt so goddamn strong?
How come it takes some people so damn long?
[I'm An Animal -- Neko Case]
You could say it's my instinct
Yes, I still have one
There's no time to second guess it
Yes, there are things that I'm still so afraid of
But my courage is roaring like the sound of the sun
'Cause it's vain about its mane
And will reveal them to no one
Now I'm an animal
You're an animal, too
[Sunlight -- Harlem Shakes]
Well, I did what I thought I was supposed to do
All I sang so close to true
Now I wanna be the one that means the most to you
Means the most to you
Sunlight, sunglight baby
We just let go of the night now slowly
We won't dance, we won't sing, we won't talk
We just gonna watch how it bends
[Could've Gone Mad -- Poe]
Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple I have
You cause in me an impossible craving
No way that it will be denied
If I decided to make you my religion
I think God would be kind
[Parentheses -- The Blow]
Now and then you can bend
It's okay to lean over my way
You fear that you can't do it all
And you're right
Even diligent day takes relief every day
From its work making light from the night
And when you're holding me
We make a pair of parentheses
There's plenty space to encase
Whatever weird way my mind goes
I know I’ll be safe in these arms
[Ant Farm -- Eels]
Hate a lot of things
But I love a few things
And you are one of them
Hard to believe
After all of these years
But you are one of them
Walk down the street I'm thinking:
Everybody move along
I've got a sad-hearted needing to belong
[I'll Believe In Anything -- Her Space Holiday]
Give me your eyes, I need sunshine
Give me your eyes, I need sunshine
Your blood, your bones
Your voice, and your ghost
We've both been very brave
Walk around with both legs
Fight the scary day
We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves
But I'll believe in anything
And you'll believe in anything
And I'll believe in anything
And you'll believe in anything
And I could take another hit for you
And I could take away your trips from you
And I could take away the salt from your eyes
And take away the spitting salt in you
And I could give you my apologies
By handing over my ideologies
And I could take away the shaking knees
And I could give you all the olive trees
Oh look at the trees and look at my face
And look at a place far away from here
Give me your eyes, I need sunshine
Give me your eyes, I need sunshine
Your blood, your bones
Your voice, and your ghost
