we knew it was important.

This is not a test }{ Oppenheimer
25 floors up, 25 floors down,
until we hit the ground
Take the stairs, take the elevator where
it's time to make the cut
An adventurous boy, you're an adventurous girl
let get our minds made up

This ain't the way to get the trouble started
Preempt the move to leave you brokenhearted
This ain't the way, this ain't the way

Phantom limb }{ the Shins
So when they tap our Monday heads
To zombie-walk in our stead
This town seems hardly worth the time
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme
Too far along in our climb
Stepping over what now towers to the sky
With no connection

There's never enough time }{ the Postal Service
In due time
We'll finally see
There's barely time
For us to breathe

Passive aggressive }{ the Honeymoon
try to get out on your own
out of this, and i wont mind
as long as I'm the one left behind
out of this, and i wont mind
and my life is an open book

if i doubt for a second a day
I'd lose all courage to say
your dreams are familiar and new
i hope someday they come true
and i pray that I'm all that you see
there's nothing hindering me
i hope you believe in yourself
as i cant believe in nobody else

(i feel love, i feel love, i feel love, i feel love)

Ladder to the sun }{ Coldplay
From the very start
It came apart
It broke up into pieces and
There was a chance and I missed it
Icaristic

And I put myself in your hands

Cause you're not just anyone
You're a ladder to the sun
Oh you're not just anyone
You're a ladder to the sun

Strange things will happen }{ the Radio Dept
Today was a pretty day
No disappointments
No expectations on your whereabouts
And oh, did I let you go?
Did it finally show that strange things will happen if you let
them?

Truth hurts }{ the Honeymoon
Just the butt of a joke so pull the trigger up in smoke
Escape the noise with whispered tones
Escape the noise with whispered tones
If looks could kill would I take the pain
A thousand breakdowns take their strain

My tolerance has made me weak
This is bigger than you or me
Guess I've long since moved out of reach

When I say we should live a little faster
And think a little slower
And does the truth hurt
'cause these lies are killing me

Lights out }{ Santogold
Wiped out
No concentration
They got us basking in a storm
I watch it as it loses form
Wiped out
They could see me; that's what I want
A casualty, but I am upfront
And I know what it's about

Follow you down }{ Gin Blossoms
I know we're headed somewhere, I can see how far we've come
But still I can't remember anything
Let's not do the wrong thing and I'll swear it might be fun
It's a long way down when all the knots we've tied have come undone
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
How you gonna ever find your place
Running in an artificial pace
Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand
So what the hell now, we've already been forever damned
Anywhere you go I'll follow you down

Kids }{ MGMT
The memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted...

The laws have changed }{ the New Pornographers
It was crime at the time
But the laws, we changed them
Though the hero for hire's
Forever the same one

Introducing for the first time
Pharaoh on the microphone
Sing all hail
What'll be revealed today
When we peer into the great unknown
From the line to the throne?

Awakened to cheers
After years on the faultline
We are shocked to be here
In the face of the meantime
Pharaoh, all your methods have taught me
Is to separate my blood from bone

If she wants me }{ Belle and Sebastian
I said goodbye to someone that I love
It's not just me, I tell you it's the both of us
And it was hard
Like coming off the pills that you take to stay happy
Someone above has seen me do alright
Someone above is looking with a tender eye
Upon her face, you may think you're alone but you may think again
If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
They'd write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
On second thoughts I'd rather hang about and be there with my best friend
If she wants me

Step on me }{ the Cardigans
Oh, I think you're spinning
Inside my head
I think of you all the day
'Cause you're in my way

Oh, I think you're holding
The heart of mine
Squeeze it apart, that's fine
Go ahead and step on me

Heavy hearts brigade }{ the Little Ones
They believe in the reasoning
Life exists and the courts are green
Once you join us all our hopes are here gathered today

Steady feet for the new parade
Rank and file heavy hearts brigade
At this movement we are moving ourselves into place

We pledge our hearts to the new brigade
And align our minds in every which way
We swear our lives to the bold and free
These are the words to our living decree

Circle of friends }{ Neutral Milk Hotel
There are just some things you can't know
There are just some things you can't face
But I will secure myself and blow
Against this disease that you embrace
And waste away

And beginning again takes so much time
And all of your friends come to watch you go
And as your machine pulls from the drive
You watch as their empty hearts explode and blow
Away-----away
I'm okay-----I'm okay

I got this feelin' }{ the Mates of State
I've got this feelin' that I've been here before

Nobody can bend the up and down
As long as you understand
The long undertow
The others can hold their breath so long
So long as they understand
The long undertow

I've got this feelin' that I've been here before

Free to stay }{ Smoosh
Tried to get away the time was on my mind
Try to find a way to see
The heart is designed from nothing I've been till now.
I'm up to no good
Oh, I'm trying my hardest
Today, pretty soon it'll be tomorrow
But now with that day, hey
Well I tried to get the ribosome
And knowing that I couldn't ever get away
And you know, I never knew that you
Yeah yeah yeah, every day I'm on to you
But you won't try to think that I

Today, pretty soon it'll be tomorrow
But now it's that day
Hey hey hey

In time }{ Zero 7
Take some time
Just hang around awhile
Like to sit this silent moment out
I don't want to lose or let you down
Time's just gonna change itself around

The autumn leaves are falling
Falling down on me
And there's nothing I can do
And there's nothing I can say
That's gonna change the way I feel

The first five times }{ the Stars
fifth time in your bedroom
when finally we rested
and you leaned upon your elbow
and began to speak to me
but you stopped yourself and kissed me
and i grabbed your wrist and told you
I know, I know, I know
I feel the same as you

and every day it's changed since then
in every way I've changed since then
driven outside
and driven in

Recommendation }{ Mirah
Before you left to go away
I wrote down what I couldn't say
I bet you read it on the road
With foggy lights and fingers cold
Now you drove so far, but now you know
How rough it is to let me go
Let me recommend that you think twice
And I always give the best advice
So come on back to where you know I'll be
Let's go sit under the apple tree
You can floor that thing, let the engine roar
The wheels, they'll spin
The rain, it pours
If there's regret that you feel about the choice you made
You'll just have to deal before it goes away
You ask me how I feel
Here's what I say
That I'm doing fine, just fine
I'm doing fine

Beginning after the end }{ the Stars

(instrumental)
