i. A THOUSAND YEARS | christina perri; i have died every day waiting for you, darling, don't be afraid, i have loved you for a thousand years, i'll love you for thousand more, and all along i believed i would find you, time has brought your heart to me, i have loved you for a thousand years, i'll love you for a thousand more
ii. GALAXIES | laura veirs; when you sing, when you sing stars fill up my eyes, galaxies run down my cheeks, galaxies, they flood the streets
iii. READ MY MIND | the killers; i never really gave up on breaking out of this two star town, i got the green light, i got a little fight, i'm gonna turn this thing around, can you read my mind, can you read my mind, the good old days, the honest man, the restless heart, the promised land, the subtle kiss that no one sees, a broken wrist and a big trapeze, well, i don't mind if you don't mind, cos i don't shine if you don't shine, before you go, could you read my mind, it's funny how you just break down, waiting on some sign, i pull up to the front of your driveway, making soaking my spine, can you read my mind, can you read my mind, the teenaged queen, the loaded gun, the drop dead dream, the chosen one, a southern drawl, a world unseen, a city wall and a trampoline, well i don't mind if you don't mind, cos i don't shine if you don't shine, tell me what you find when you read my mind
iv. TODAY | stickboy; buckle up cos this ride's getting faster, like a train on the path of diaster, hold me tight like the ring on your finger, let's just pray that this silence don't linger, and how many times have i told you never forget who your really belong to, and how many things have i shown you today
v. PASSENGER SEAT | death cab for cutie; then looking upwards, i strain my eyes as i try to tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites, do they collide, i ask and you smile, with my feet on your dash, the world doesn't matter.
vi. LOST COASTLINES | okkervil river; but we find that the maps that he sent to us don't mention lost coastlines, where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined, and we don't recognize the names upon strange signs
vii. RUN | basia bulat; oh the both of our heads you've been searching to find a way through, but there's nothing that I want more than a reason to be following you
viii. ECHO | the hush sound; you are the lighthouse, the seamark, the tempest created this tide, i'm pulled to the black silver ocean where the current and the heavens collide, you are the brick, i am so unpredictable, led by the current away, your solid stage is so necessary for all those who stray, you were the navigator who could never lead, we were lost in the silver sea, i was the ship who was to proud to ever sink
ix. GOLDEN STAR | my brightest diamond; i always felt so far from you, like something wasn't right, but tonight i rest my head inside the crook of your arm, and i feel like a golden star exploding (tonight we are full), exploding (tonight we rejoice), exploding (you are my golden star), exploding, though everything comes undone, the distance between us closes, and everything is suddenly exploding (tonight we are full), exploding (tonight we rejoice), exploding (you are my golden star), exploding, tonight we are full up, tonight we rejoice, tonight we are full up, tonight we rejoice like stars exploding
x. IF MY HEART WAS A HOUSE | owl city; you're the sky that i fell through, and i remember the view whenever i'm holding, the sun hung from a string, looking down on the world as it warmed over everything, chills run down my spine as our fingers entwine, and your sighs harmonize with mine, unmistakably, i can still feel your heart beat fast when you dance with me, we got older and i should have known that i would feel colder when i walk alone, so i may as well ditch my dismay, bombs away, circle me and the needle moves gracefully, back and forth, if my heart was a compass, you'd be north, risk it all cos i'll catch you if you fall, wherever you go, if my heart was a house, you'd be home, and it makes me smile because you said it best, i would clearly feel blessed if the sun rose up from the west, flower bomb perfume, all my clothes smell like you cos your favorite shade is navy blue, i walk slowly when i'm on my own, yeah, but frankly, i still feel alone, so i may as well ditch my dismay, , circle me and the needle moves gracefully, back and forth, if my heart was a compass, you'd be north, risk it all cos i'll catch you if you fall, wherever you go, if my heart was a house, you'd be home
xi. LUNAR SEA | camera obscura; for the lunar sea see the river moon and you've got it, match the finest words to the greatest tune and you've bought it, see me cross in style, walk the longest mile in a minute, where do drifters go, wonder if they know there's no limit, at the rainbow's end, find the perfect friend, say i'm sorry, make me dream at night, break my heart on sight, don't you worry, swept the sounds of love from the skies above and i knew it, swim the seas of blue just to drown in you and i blew it
xii. GO PLACES | the new pornographers; come with me, go places, come hell or full circle, our arms fill with miracles, play hearts, kid, they work well, like classics play aces, stay with me, go places, once more for the ages
xiii. CAST A HOOK IN ME | laura veirs; breathe life to the street from your mouth, those rosy red lips have much to give, pull life from the land with your capable hands, those life loving, beautiful, broken hands, oh, i'll stand with you and marvel at the cosmos pink and bright, all the pages flipping backward, til time is gone and wrong is right, like rivers running up the hills and to the sky and down to the sea, where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me
xiv. SATELLITE | guster; shining like a work of art, hanging on a wall of stars, are you what i think you are, you're my satellite, you're riding with me tonight, passenger side, lighting the sky, always the first star that i find, you're my satellite
xv. ORDINARY DAY | vanessa carlton; just a day, just an ordinary day, just trying to get by, just a boy, just an ordinary boy, but he was looking to the sky, and as he asked if i would come along, i started to realize that every day he finds just what he's looking for, and like a shooting star, he shines, and he said take my hand, live while you can, don't you feel the dreams i write in the palm of your hand, and as he spoke he spoke ordinary words, though they did not feel, no, but i did not feel what i felt before, and you swear, those words could heal, and as i looked up into those eyes, his vision borrows mine, and i know he's no stranger for i feel i've held him for all of time, and he said take my hand, live while you can, don't you feel the dreams i write in the palm of your hand, in the palm of your hand, please come with me, see what i see, touch the stars, for time will not flee, time will not flee, can't you see, just a dream, just an ordinary dream as i wake in bed, and the boy, that ordinary boy, was it all in my head, did he ask if i would come along, it all seemed so real, but i looked to the door, i saw the boy standing there with a deal, and he said take my hand, live while you can, don't you feel the dreams i write in the palm of your hand
bonus. AMELIA POND | hello sweetie; amelia pond, i'm sorry i kept you waiting, i promise i'll make it up to you someday if you come with me, it's been twelve years since we last saw each other, your father and your mother left, i promise, i promise i won't, oh, amelia pond, i'm growing quite fond, i'm growing quite fond, i'll show you the stars, all of space and time are ours now, no need for keys and cars, we'll fly away in my little blue box, oh, amelia pond, i'm growing quite fond, i'm growing quite fond, and i won't let no monsters or aliens haunt you from that crack in your wall, i will keep you safe at the end of the universe, at the end of it all, amelia pond, i'm sorry i kept you waiting, i promise i'll make it up to you someday if you come with me, it's been twelve years since we last saw each other, those fish fingers and custard, oh, the apple ain't sweet as you
