This could be the very minute I’m aware I’m alive. All these places feel like home.
With a name I’ve never chosen I can make my first steps as a child of 25.
Just because I’m sorry doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it at the time.
You’re the only thing that I love; it scares me more every day.
On my knees I think clearer.
Goodness knows I saw it coming, or at leas I’ll claim it did. But in truth, I’m lost for words.
What have I done? It’s too late for that. What have I become? Truth is nothing yet. A simple mistake starts the hardest time.
(Chocolate- Snow Patrol)
She’s feeling your pride as you go for a ride down the star mile.
Words arise as she lets you come in. A duo begins.
And all the gold dust in her eyes won’t reform into rain.
You had and lost the one thing you kept in a safe place.
Remember the face of the girl who you made your own, and how you left her alone.
You might need to fill a prescription to kill off the silence.
Look down from your tower on high and take in the night, look her right in the eye, she’ll listen.
Life comes to those that are true.
Can’t find the sublime.
She’s moving on without you, the tide breaks, you watch the stars face. They gather you back to their home. I guess it’s better than being alone.
(Star Mile- Joshua Radin)
I missed the good part.
Come on in, I’ve gotta tell you what a state I’m in. I’ve gotta tell you in my loudest tones.
Then I started looking for a warning sign.
When the truth is I miss you.
A warning sign. You come back to haunt me and I realized that you were an island and I passed you by.
And you were an island to discover.
So I crawl back into your open arms
(Warning Sign- Coldplay)
You are everything I wanted. The scars of I’ll ever know.
If I told you you were right, would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why, would you leave your life and ride?
You saw all my pieces broken, the darkness I could never show.
(Ride- Cary Brothers)
It’s time to tear this place down.
Have I been left behind?
It’s time to figure out why I find myself in custody with each and every question.
Fly to El Salvador, I don’t know why and I don’t know what for.
I tried it out but it didn’t work so I’ll choose the picture for myself.
It’s time to start all over.
It’s time to take new measures.
Far from our place of rest, I’ve almost got you in sight.
(El Salvador- Athlete)
Where are we? What the hell is going on?
Spin me round again and rub my eyes. This can’t be happening.
When busy streets a mess with people would stop to hold their heavy.
All those years, they were here first.
Oh, you won’t catch me around here.
Mmm, what you say? That you only meant well? Well of course you did.
Mmm, what you say? That it was all for the best? Ah, of course it is.
Mmm, that it’s just what we need? And you decided this.
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Speak no feeling, no I don’t believe you.
(Hide and Seek- Imogen Heap)
When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears it was easy to see that you’d been crying.
Seems like everywhere you turn, catastrophe, it reigns.
But who really profits from the dying?
I could hold you in my arms, I could hold you forever.
When you kissed my lips so full of questions, it’s my worried mind that you quiet.
Place your hands on my face, close my eyes, and say “love is a poor man’s food, don’t prophesize”.
Don’t let your eyes refuse to see, don’t let your ears refuse to hear, or you ain’t never going to shake this sense of sadness.
(Hold you in my Arms- Ray La Montagne)
So I will head out alone and hope for the best.
And we can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbyes.
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear, I’ve got nothing left to lose, my dear.
So, I’m up for the little white lies.
But you and I know the reason why.
I’ll buy a magazine searching for your face.
But as close as I come to you, it’s not the same.
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried.
If one of us makes it big we can spill our regrets and talk about how the love never dies.
So, steal the show, and do your best to cover the tracks that I have left.
I wish you well and hope you find whatever you’re looking for.
The way that I might’ve changed my mind, but you only showed me the door.
(Reason Why- Rachael Yamagata)
Consider this a sign.
This is a train in the night and now it’s time for you to go.
You walk this world like you’re a ghost.
Your hands are coming through the needles, sick of your tragic and your evils.
I am the keeper of the song of everyone.
Look into the sun and see your soul is dying.
Used to feel the faith but now you’re tired of trying.
Should’ve left alone what you have stolen from everyone.
This is a coming of the times.
You are a witness to the movement.
You want this world so you can own it.
From a light on high, a chance to change your fate.
Forgiveness falling down on those who chose to wait.
Remember the times, found yourself home again.
Deep within your life, find yourself home again. It’s a choice.
If you raise the mask, who will lead us on tonight?
In the summer skies, the stars, the light.
(Prophecy- Remy Zero)
I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star to pray on, or wish on, or something like that.
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had.
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills.
‘Cause I know I’m a mess he don’t wanna clean up.
I got to fold ‘cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love.
And I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb. Looking for a little hope.
Baby said he couldn’t stay, wouldn’t put his lips to mind and a fail to kiss is a fail to cope.
Come on put a little love here in my void.
(Paper Bag- Fiona Apple)
Better pack your bags and run or stay until the job is done.
Baby you could sit and hope that providence will fray the rope and sink like a stone, or go it alone.
So better pack your bags and run, send it to oblivion.
Where you don’t look like anyone that anyone would care about.
And do what you do, ‘til it buries you.
And baby, this isn’t your chance to make a break with circumstance.
And isn’t in enough to prove today’s the day?
(Today’s the Day- Aimee Man)
I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now, most of my days I spend alone, a thousand miles from the place I was born.
But when she wakes me, she takes me back home.
Now, most days I spend like a child who’s afraid of the ghosts of my mind.
I know there ain’t nothing out there. I’m still afraid to turn on the lights.
(Arms of a Woman- Amos Lee)
Everything it seems I like’s a little bit stronger, a little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me.
Everything it seems I like’s a little bit sweeter, a little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me.
Always been a shoe made for the city.
Go ahead, accuse me of just singing about places with scrappy boys faces have general run of the town.
Take a lot of sentimental valiums.
Can’t expect the world to be your Raggedy Andy while running on empty you little old doll with a frown.
You got to keep in the game, retaining mystique while facing forward.
So please be kind if I’m a mess.
