On Top of the World - Imagine Dragons
I coulda gave up then but
Then again I couldn’t have ’cause
I’ve traveled all this way for something
Now take it in but don’t look down
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world.
Divers and Submarines - Passenger
And I cried for you like a widow cries at her lover's grave
You haunted me through my stinging nights and aching days
The more that you struggled, the tighter the knot
The tighter the knot, the lower we got
And we sunk down to the bottom
Yeah, we sunk down to the bottom of the sea
Carry On - fun.
You swore and said
"We are not
We are not shining stars"
This I know
I never said we are
Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows
to know you can never look back
Shot in the Dark - Augustana
I had it all and then I went and let it slip away
I’m working overtime I’m gonna make it anyway
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes you never get her back
Oh, you know that I’m
Rising up slowly and getting higher
I’ve been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me, but I’m a fighter
I know I still got a shot in the dark
Broadway - Goo Goo Dolls
Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
Champagne High - Sister Hazel
I wasn't looking for a lifetime with you
And I never thought it would hurt just to hear
"I do" and "I do"
And I do a number on myself
And all that I thought to be
And you'll be the one
That just left me undone
By my own, hesitation
and for the million hours that we were
well I'll smile and remember it all
then I'll turn and go
while your story's completed mine is a long way from done
Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
The Way We Get By - Spoon
We found a new kind of dance in a magazine
Tried it out it's like nothing you ever seen
You sweet talk like a cop and you know it
You bought a new bag of pot, said let's make a new start
And that's the way to my heart
That's the way we get by
Shake it Out (cover) - Joseph Andre
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah
Hey Hey Hey (We're All Gonna Die) - Jack's Mannequin
And New England turned gray
From the old TLA
Through the lens of my Polaroid camera
The label looked proud, the New York shows sold out
I noticed a change in the weather
It's gettin' cold, could you hand me my sweater
The World You Love - Jimmy Eat World
i fall asleep with my friends around me
only place i know, i feel safe
i'm gonna call this home
the open road is still miles away
Hey nothing serious
we still have our fun
oh we had it once
Windows open and close
that's just how it goes
This Time of Year - Better Than Ezra
Well, I know there's a reason to change.
Well, I know there's a time for us.
You think about the good times
And you live with all the bad.
You can feel it in the air,
Feeling right this time of year.
