OBTD: Maia's Mix
“Girl” - Tori Amos
Well, I’m not 17 || But I’ve got cuts on my knees || Falling down at the winter takes one more cherry tree || She’s been everybody else’s girl || Maybe one day she’ll be her own
“King of Sorrow” - Sade
I'm crying everyone's tears || And there inside our private war I died the night before || And all of these remnants of joy and disaster || What am I suppose to do? || I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul || But nothing would change, nothing would change at all
“How My Heart Behaves” - Feist
What grew and inside who? || First so simple was the vow || Then the chorus sang about || Your shoulder , the mooring for me || Like water lost in the sea || The cold heart will burst if mistrusted first || And a calm heart will break when given a shake || Is this how my heart behaves?
“Cath. . .” - Death Cab for Cutie
It seems that you live in someone else's dream || In a hand-me-down wedding dress || Where the things that could have been are oppressed || But you said your vows || And you closed the door on so many men who would have loved you more || Soon everybody will ask what became of you || Cause your heart was dying fast || And you didn't know what to do
“Faking the Books” - Lali Puna
We’ve been done before and now we try to forge ourselves || I’ll be true again but until then I fake the books || Cause everybody knows this ain’t heaven || Until everybody knows || We’ve been wrong before || There is a lot that we survived
“Spark” - Tori Amos
She’s convinced she could hold back a glacier || But she couldn’t keep baby alive || Doubting you there’s a woman in there somewhere || Here, here, here || You say you don’t want it again and again || But you don’t, don’t really mean it || You say you don’t want it, the circus we’re in || But you don’t, you don’t really mean it
“Stop and Stare” - One Republic
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here || I'm staring down myself, counting up the years || Steady hands just take the wheel || Every glance is killing me || Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead || Stop and stare || I think I'm moving but I go nowhere || I know that everyone gets scared but I've become what I can't be || Stop and stare || You start to wonder why you're here, not there || And you'd give anything to get what's fair || But fair ain't what you really need
“Holding Out for a Hero” - Frou Frou
I need a hero || I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night || He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight || I need a hero || I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light || He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon || And he's gotta be larger than life
“Cannonball” - Damien Rice
There’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth || There’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt || It’s still a little hard to say what's going on || Stones taught me to fly || Love, it taught me to cry || Life, it taught me to die || So it's not hard to fall when you float like a cannonball
“Half Day Closing” - Portishead
In the days, the golden days when everybody knew what they wanted || It ain't here today || Through the times of lasting love || When parents talked of things tried and tested || It don't feel the same || Dreams and belief have gone || Time, life itself goes on
“Someday You Will Be Loved” - Death Cab for Cutie
You'll be loved || You'll be loved like you never have known || And the memories of me will seem more like bad dreams || Just a series of blurs like I never occurred || Someday you will be loved
“Afterglow” - Garbage
You're stripping off for someone else || You've got to learn to love yourself || It's all that counts || There's little else || You're always looking for affection and all its possibilities || Your sense is searching for attention || Emerging need of gravity || I think you think you're someone else || You've got to learn to save yourself || Before you find there's nothing left
“Xanax” - Maria Taylor
Afraid my heart it beats too slow || Or that I died and just didn't know || Or of the fate I will have to choose || And I'm afraid of how much I love you || There's just a time when we must all let go of the breath that we hold || There’s just a time when we must all let go of the breath that we hold || And brave the unknown || We have to let go
