i live vicariously through fanmixing about sad lovers and elopement
L O V E / and / or / O V E R
if you ask me two's a lot lonelier than one
part 1: we are not okay
[them vs you vs me]
ALL I EVER WANTED the airborne toxic event
I only say these things to you when you’re sleeping
I hear the hum from the wires and the sounds of the morning creep
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me
And I can tell you that you're all I've ever wanted dear,
Through the din of your breathing while you're sleeping here,
You wake and you ask me if I'm gonna be here forever, forever, forever
I'M FINDING IT HARDER TO BE A GENTLEMAN the white stripes
Well I'm finding it harder
to be a gentleman every day
all the manner that I've been taught
have slowly died away
but if I held the door open for you
It would'nt make your day
1983 neon trees
Talkin' cheap in a bathroom stall
Look so smooth
Better tell me the truth
Would you trade me
Out for someone cool?
I know you better than you do
FOREVER haim
Hey you!
Remember me?
Remember love?
Remember trying to stay together?
My time, you took it all.
You tried to see.
You tried to bring yourself up without involving me.
It isn't fair to have your way,
to try and get up and go and na na na na now can't you see,
it isn't fair to have your way,
but I'm trying to get your attention and I need you to know that
POISON the all-american rejects
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
I guess sometimes we both lose our minds to find a better road
ALIVE/AWAKE oh land
Why did you show me all your skeletons and fears
When I was eating all the glitter in your tears?
Wake me up and see that I'm alive
*
Part 2: we go
[to take a gamble on fixing ourselves]
MAKE THIS GO ON FOREVER snow patrol
Please don't let this turn into something it's not
I can only give you everything I've got
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
But I still love you more than anyone else could
All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight
Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right
DIG A HOLE (ACOUSTIC) william beckett
There between the wind and clouds, I finally see
I found out how impossible it seems
To open up the flood gate, open up your hands and let go
How it impossible it seems
It's possible to me
Dig a hole
Plant a seed
Top it off
Watch and see it
DAUGHTERS OF THE SOHO RIOTS the national
I have your good clothes in the car
So cut your hair so no one knows
I have your dreams and your teeth marks
And all my fingernails are painted
I'm here to take you now
RUNNING no doubt
Me, I'm the one you chose
Out of all the people
You wanted me the most
And I'm so sorry that I've fallen
Help me up, let's keep on running
Don't let me fall out of love
DANGEROUS BLUES the young veins
All I want to do is dig a hole with you
We are not strangers to the undertow
Wind won’t decide which way to blow
But we will never leave
You’re all that’s left for me
This is our home, we just don’t have a door
Euphoria is at risk on the floor
BORN TO DIE lana del rey
Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love's not enough when the road gets tough
I don't know why
Keep making me laugh, let's go get high
Road's long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

part 3: I go
[to outrun your heart, I won't change, it won't work]
THE (SHIPPED) GOLD STANDARD fall out boy
I wanna scream 'I love you' from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me
You can only blame your problems on my world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital, I know we're gonna leave this town
And get new passports and get out now
TOKYO (VAMPIRES & WOLVES) the wombats
We're self imploding
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes
Finally I know now what it takes
It takes money and aeroplanes
If you love me let me go
PLUS ONES okkervil river
No one wants to hear about your 97th tear
So dry your eyes or let it go uncried, my dear
I am all out of love to mouth into your ear, and
Not above letting a love song disappear before it's written
The 51st way to leave your lover
Admittedly, doesn't seem to be as gentle or
as clean as all the others, leaving its scars
HOT TUBS & TOOLSHEDS straylight run
Replacing old dreams with flattery from new loves,
A hurricane self help into this evacuation from this.
It's too bad, it's even sadder,
I'm losing everything that I thought,
"This was a lost cause"
It was! And I never knew it.
Call me, call me
I'll answer
Do you think that this could work out?
Do you think you could come around?
Do you think that this could work out again?
I don't
SHATTERED o.a.r.
In a way, I need a change from this burnout scene
Another time, another town, another everything
But it's always back to you
But I'm good without ya
How many times can I break till I shatter?
FITZCARRALDO the frames
Here, back, down a long and straight track
I have chosen the long road
That leads me out to god knows..
So I can't stop right now
Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter
Lose their faith and slide
But I can't get an ocean that's deep enough for my day
It's the first of the ascension
It's a sad way we've flown after the storm
And her last words were 'I'm always thinking of you'
In my olden days I was a saint
*
part 4: U go
[to find what you're looking for. I hope it'll be me]
PILEDRIVER WALTZ alex turner
I etched the face of a stopwatch on the back of a raindrop
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass
I heard an unhappy ending, it sort of sounds like you’re leaving
If you’re gonna try and walk on water
Make sure you wear your comfortable shoes
WHAT I'LL DO lisa hannigan
What'll I do without you around,
my words won't pun, my pennies won't pound,
oh and my frisbee flies to the ground,
what'll I do without you.
Oh I don't know what to do with myself
now that I'm here and you're gone
SKY PHENOMENON jens lekman
I called out your name
like the name of a coming hurricane
I called out your name
like you call out when you're in hurting pain
I called out your name
but you're caught in a heavenly silver rain
you and I are not the same
we are divided by the smoke of an aeroplane
of an aeroplane
BE GOOD UNTIL THEN butch walker
Always know the road you're riding on
Always know the words to your baby's song
Try to make the most of Friday nights when they come
Maybe turn a stranger to a friend
Never break a heart that's on the mend
Never let the romance ever end like I've done
OVIEDO blind pilot
Four times is once too much for luck
And that's how many times the clock struck
I wandered home, saying your name
And maybe some things are better left unsaid
But if you wanted to test that out well, yeah, I guess, you could've said
The lights here are softer than you'd think
The dim lit peacocks in the trees,
They're hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me
But if my eyes were on my back
I know what I'd be looking at
COME BACK WHEN YOU CAN barcelona
I've been led on to think
that we've been trying for too long
And every time we drift
We're forcing what is wrong
At last that voice is gone
Please take your time
But you've got to know that
I am taking sight
If all you wanted was me, I'd give you nothing less
So come back when you can
