Arthur & Eames
1. Quietdrive “Motivation”
"It dawned on me that you could be the one for me.
But, I'm sure you've heard it all the time.
I look just like the other guy next to me.
Let's go home together.
You'll say that it's good for me; you're good for me.
But, it's all in my head when I wake in my bed.
Oh, no, I've got no motivation.
Give me some motivation."
Eames
2. Katie Melua “Just Like Heaven”
“‘Why are you so far away?’ he said.
‘Why won’t you ever know that I’m in love with you?
That I’m in love with you, you. Soft and only, you. Lost and lonely you.
Strange as angels dancing in the deepest oceans, twisting in the water.
You're just like a dream.’”
Arthur
3. Tom Waits “Hope I Don’t Fall in Love With You”
“Well, the music plays, and you display your heart for me to see.
I had a beer, and now I hear you calling out to me.
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.”

4. Pearl Jam "Just Breathe"
“Practiced are our sins. Never gonna let me win.
Under everything, just another human being.
Oh, I don’t wanna hurt;
There’s so much in this world to make me bleed.
Stay with me. You‘re all I see.
Did I say that I need you? Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn’t, I’m a fool, you see.
No one knows this more than me.”
Eames
5. Rachael Yamagata "Be Be Your Love"
“"Everything's falling and I am included in that.
Oh, how I'll try to be just okay.
Yeah, but all I ever really wanted was a little piece of you.
And everybody's talking how I can't, can't, can't be your love,
But I want, want, want to be your love, for real.
Want to be your everything.
Everything will be alright, if you just stay the night.
Please, sir, don‘t you walk away."
Arthur
6. Joshua Radin & Schuyler Fisk "First Day Of My Life"
“This is the first day of my life.
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now, I don't know where I am;
I don't know where I’ve been,
But, I know where I want to go
And so, I thought I’d let you know.
Yeah, these things take forever.
I especially am slow.
But, I realize that I need you."

7. Ray LaMontagne "To Love Somebody (feat. Damien Rice)"
“Wanted my whole life to be lived with you, lived with you.
There’s a way, everybody say, to do each and every thing.
But, what good does it bring, if I ain’t got you?
If I ain’t got you?
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody the way I love you.”
Eames
8. The Script “I’m Yours”
"You touch these tired eyes of mine, and map my face out, line by line.
And, somehow, growing old feels fine.
I listen close, for I'm not smart.
You wrap your thoughts in works of art, and they're hanging on the walls of my heart.
I may not have the softest touch.
I may not say the words as such.
And, though I may not look like much, I'm yours.
And though my edges may be rough,
I never feel I'm quite enough.
It may not seem like very much, but I'm yours."
Arthur
9. Carolina Liar "When You Are Near"
“When you are near me, when you are here,
I see all that I am made of, and all that I have.
When you are near me, when you are here,
I see all that I am, baby.
You’re all that I have. You’re all that I am.
I can’t see anything in the dark,
But then your reflection brings all into light.”

10. The Academy Is... "Seed"
"A feeling of soft anticipation, another confrontation I won't make.
But how do we do it?
We turned into something else entirely.
We fake it, but I wanted it so desperately to be real.
Run, run, holding onto some pieces that you left behind.
Hold now, as I walk away, you're the only that finds me out.
Run from the only thing left that I hold close.”
Eames
11. Paolo Nutini "Last Request"
“Slow down, lie down.
Remember it’s just you and me.
Don’t sell out, bow out.
Remember how this used to be?
I just want you closer. Is that alright?
Baby, let’s get closer tonight.
Grant my last request, and just let me hold you.
Don’t shrug your shoulders; lay down beside me.
And, sure, I can accept that we’re going nowhere,
But, one last time, let’s go there.
Lay down beside me.”
Eames & Arthur
12. Band of Horses "No One's Gonna Love You"
“We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
Someone, they should've warned you.
When things start splitting at the seams now,
The whole thing's tumbling down.”

13. Kenny Chesney "Better as a Memory"
"It's just who I am.
I'm better as a memory than as your man.
I see you leaning, you're bound to fall.
I don't want to be that mistake.
I'm just a dreamer and nothing more.
You should know it before it gets too late.
'Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel.
You never know where they're gonna land.
First you're spinning, then you're standing still,
Left holding a losing hand."
Eames
14. Modest Mouse "Little Motel"
“We treat mishaps like sinking ships,
And I know that I don’t want to be out to drift.
Well, I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips,
And they both tell me that we’re better than this.
Because that’s what I’m waiting for, aren’t I?
That’s what I’m waiting for, darling.
We trade tit for tat like that for this,
And I don’t think there was an insult that was missed.
I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips,
And I’m very sorry.”
Eames & Arthur
15. Phoenix "Love Like a Sunset"
“Right where it starts, it ends.
Oh, and then we start the end.
Day comes, a visible illusion.
Oh, where it starts, it ends.
Love like a sunset.”

16. She & Him "Thieves"
“I know, and you know, too,
That a love like ours
Is terrible news.
But, that won't stop me crying
No, that won't stop me crying over you.
We two are makers,
Just made this mess.
Two broken hearts don't beat any less."
Eames
17. The Rescues "Crazy Ever After"
"I'm pacing our apartment.
My head's a broken record; I can't think.
I keep repeating the very last word that you said to me.
You didn't tell me you loved me; just goodbye,
And there was something kind of final in it.
Stay. Everything is wrong without you.
Stay. My whole world's a wreck.
Oh, will you save me now or leave me
Crazy ever after?"
Eames & Arthur
18. Gavin Rossdale "Love Remains the Same"
“I never thought that I had anymore to give.
You're pushing me so far. Here I am without you.
Drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made.
Everything will change, but love remains the same.
We should have had the sun, could have been inside.
Instead we're over here.
Half the time, the world is ending.
Truth is I am done pretending.
Too much time to love defending.
You and I are done pretending.
I wish this could last forever.
As if we could last forever..."

19. The Fray "Syndicate"
"Don't know what you're made of
Until the one thing that you want is coming with the dawn
And suddenly changes.
Monday's syndicate meets everyone the same.
All we've lost to the flame.
Listen to me, now.
Baby, close your eyes, don't open till the morning light.
Don't ever forget, we haven't lost it all yet.
All we know for sure is all that we are fighting for."
Arthur & Eames
20. Black Lab "Mine Again"
“There’s a world I used to know.
There was a light, and it was you.
Every word I say is true. I say:
Everyday, I will wait till you’re mine again.
I will die everyday till you’re mine again.
There’s no words to explain, no beginning and no end.
I will dream, I will pray, you’ll be mine again."
Arthur & Eames
21. The Frames "Falling Slowly"
“Words fall through me and always fool me, and I can’t react.
Games that never amount to more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out.
Take this sinking boat, and point it home; we’ve still got time.
Raise your hopeful voice; you have a choice.
Well, you have suffered enough and warred with yourself.
It's time that you won."
