the daybreak anthem: a bill brady/byron lewis fanmix

[underdebate]

I finally gave in and finished the fanmix I've been working on for two months. :D But I warn you, it's fluffy in some spots and far too serious in others, and is generally the result of a ridiculous amount of love for two very brave, occasionally stupid, sometimes upsetting but always amazing heroes. I give you:





01 I'LL BE by edwin mccain

The strands in your eyes that colour them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth

Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartbreak that hang from above

I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive, not dead

And I've dropped out, I've burned up
I've fought my way back from the dead
I've tuned in, turned on
Remembered the things that you said

02 JESUS CHRIST by brand new

Jesus Christ that's a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone I could save
If they don't put me away
Well it'll be a miracle

Do you believe you're missing out
That everything good is happening somewhere else?
But with nobody in your bed
The night's hard to get through

And I will die all alone
And when I arrive I won't know anyone

Well Jesus Christ I'm alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
Cause this problem's gonna last
More than the weekend

Well Jesus Christ I'm not scared to die
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot?
Do I float through the ceiling?

Do I divide and fall apart?
Cause my pride is too sly to hold back all my dark

And the ship went down in sight of land
And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?

I know you'll come in the night like a thief
But I've had some time alone to hold my lies inside me
I know you think that I'm someone you can trust
But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up

So do you think that we could work out a sign
So I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try

I know you'll come for the people like me
But we all got wood and nails
Tongue tied to a hating factory

But we all got wood and nails
Your tortured and hanging factory
Yeah we all got wood and nails
Your tortured and hanging factory
Yeah we all got wood and nails
And we sleep inside of this machine

03 SPINNING by jack's mannequin

I'm keeping quiet till there's no more sirens
Lately it's hard to keep the hinges on with all the noise
I'll find my words when there's no one talking
The room is spinning, I have got no choice
Be patient I am getting to the point

I can't remember when the earth turned slowly
So I just waited with the lights turned out again
I lost my place but I can't stop this story
I've found my way but until then I'm only spinning

I'm keeping quiet till the phone stops ringing
Lately it's hard to disconnect, I just want something real
I've found my words if I could just stop thinking
The room is spinning, I have got no choice
Be patient I am getting to the point

Spin beneath the rooftop
Hold on, wait until the room stops
Spinning

I can't remember when the earth turned slowly
So I just waited with the lights turned out again
I lost my place but I can't stop this story
I found my way but in the end we're only

I keep forgetting when the earth turned slowly
So I just waited till the lights come on again
I lost my place but I can't stop this story
I found my way but until then I'm only spinning

04 LULLABY by martyrs & poets

I would wrap you in angels
Just to keep you safe
I would walk to the sun
Just to hold you close

While the world breaks your heart
I'll be here for the fall
Though the days might betray you
Know that I never will

So take all your faith
Be more than I ever will

Lullaby baby, lullaby baby I'll keep you here
Lullaby baby, keeps you here

While the world might break you
Be strong in your will
And trade all your scars for love

And you look less proud
Be more than your father
Don't betray all your hope
Cause love's call goes on

05 SAY WHEN by the fray

I see you there, don't know where you come from
Unaware, the stare from someone
Don't appear to care that I saw you, and I want you
What's your name? Cause I have to know it
You let me in and begin to show it
We're terrified cause we're heading straight for it, might get it

You're the song playing on the background
All alone but you're turning up now
And everyone is rising you meet you, to greet you
Turn around and you're walking toward me
I'm breaking down and you're breathing slowly
Say the word and I will be your man, your man, say when

And my own two hands will comfort you
Tonight, tonight, say when
And my own two arms will carry you
Tonight, tonight, say when

Come close and then even closer
We bring it in but we go no further
We're seperate, two ghosts in one mirror, no nearer
Later on if it turns to chaos
Hurricane coming all around us
See the crack, pull it back from the window, you stay low, say when

Come across you lost and broken
You're coming to, but you're slow in waking
You start to shake, you still haven't spoken what happened
They're coming back and you just don't know when
You want to cry but there's nothing coming
They're gonna push until you give in, say when

Now we're here and it turns to chaos
Hurricane coming all around us
Double crack throws you back from the window, you stay low
It all began with the man and country
Every plan sends another century
Around again, another nation fallen

Maybe god can be on both sides
Of the gun, never understood why
Some of us never get it so good, so good
Some of this was here before us
All of this will go after us
Never stops until we give in, give in, say when

06 SLIDE by goo goo dolls

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'd give you anything
To feel it coming
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide

Yeah, we're gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you
Don't suppose I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
Something I can't change, I'll live around it

And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
May, put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are and what you are is beautiful
Oh May, do you wanna get married
Or run away?

Yeah, slide between the sheets of all the beds you never knew
Why don't you slide into my room, just slide into my room
Oh we'll run away, run away, run away

07 USE SOMEBODY by kings of leon

I've been roaming around, always looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you, and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me

Go and let it out

08 CHASING CARS by snow patrol

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

09 NEVER AGAIN by the midway state

Hey, you surround me
Like a blanket in my bed
The look in your eyes has
Stayed inside me, in my head
Outside, it's snowing
It's odd for this time of year
Your light through the darkness
Getting smaller, oh I fear

Love love pulled us down in the gutter
Can you see us getting out, oh I wonder
It's a long long lonely fight down inside me
Can I get you to bring back light or is this never again?

Hey, you're my weakness
Still my lover in my mind
And you still control me
Summer I put you so high
Oh hey, did you forget
You could never get enough
Well I'll always love you
No matter how far you run

There is a lover down inside all of our gates that we can't
Protect forever cause he's sucking at the air from our lips
I felt him tremble when I first picked you up driving honey
We drove for hours, I remember when I first let him kiss
You and your mouth, the taste of love it filled me up to the tips
I couldn't sleep for weeks, I fevered at a hundred and six

10 EXISTENTIALISM ON PROM NIGHT by straylight run

When the sun came up, we were sleeping in
Sunk inside our blankets
Sprawled across the bed and we were dreaming
There are moments when, when I know it and
The world revolves around us
And we're keeping it, keeping it all going
This delicate balance
Vulnerable, all-knowing

Sing like you think no one's listening

You would kill for this, just a little bit
Just a little bit, you would kill for this

Sing like you think no one's listening

You would kill for this, just a little bit
Just a little bit, you would, you would

Sing me something soft
Sad and delicate
Or loud and out of key
Sing me anything
We're glad for what we've got
Done with what we've lost
Our whole lives laid out
Right in front of us

11 AND SO WE RUN by david usher

Give me a sign, give me a reason to hold on
I'm holding on
What is a life? A series of moments all in line
Just passing by

And so I lay here awake
As all the clouds fall away
Then fast asleep in your arms
Wake up, wonder where we are
Try to freeze-frame the day
Then the light starts to fade
I will scream at the sky
Till we drink the oceans dry
And so we run

Over the bridge, back to the place where we were young
What we could have done
What did you find? Here we are naked under God
Lucky God is blind

12 GLITTER IN THE AIR by pink

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fistful of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face and said, 'I just don't care'?

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning, and the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently, you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss, and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight?
