.o1 Winter - Bayside
When winter falls, next year, I'll be holding on to anything nailed down. As for being patient, with fate and all, it's getting old. It makes you think about the life you've led, Shit you've done, things you've said. And it's grounding, grounding. I've been feeling three feet tall this month, hardly indestructible. But the snow melts, and the rhythm still goes on.
.o2 Fix You - Coldplay
When you try your best, but you don't succeed. When you get what you want, but not what you need. When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep; stuck in reverse. And the tears come streaming down your face. When you lose something you can't replace. When you love someone, but it goes to waste, could it be worse? Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones. And I will try to fix you.
.o3 Sorry - Maria Mena
I just poured my heart out, there's bits of it on the floor. And I take what's left of it and rinse it under cold water, and call him up for more. And I say baby, yes I feel stupid to call you, but I'm lonely, and I don't think you meant it when you said you couldn't love me. And I thought maybe if I kissed the way you do, you'd feel it too. He said I'm sorry, so sorry.
.o4 23 - Jimmy Eat World
I felt for sure last night, that once we said goodbye, no one else will know these lonely dreams. No one else will know that part of me. I'm still driving away, and I'm sorry every day. I won't always love these selfish things, I won't always live in my regrets.
.o5 Hopeless Love - Daphne Loves Derby
Two hundred miles away from home, two hundred miles beneath this lake is where my heart belongs. But you don't care at all. You wouldn't even smile if I were screaming as the water filled my lungs, oh my lungs. You demand to be chased for your love. My desperate heart is far too weak to run for you this long. But you don't care at all, there's nothing I can do to draw you close to me. Can you take this silence like a pill so I can breathe again? I've been trying to ignore the best part of you. But I'm still hoping that I'll be with you somehow, somehow.
.o6 Walking By - Something Corporate
And these nights I get high just from breathing. When I lie here with you, I'm sure that I'm real, like that firework over the freeway. I could stay here all day but that's not how you feel. So why do you leave these questions unanswered? The circus awaits and you're already gone. My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in your smile, what makes it so easy for you to be walking by? And what did I do that you can't seem to want me? What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
.o7 Nightminds - Missy Higgins
You were blessed by a different kind of inner view: it's all magnified. The highs would make you fly, and the lows make you want to die. And I was once there, hanging from that very ledge where you are standing. So I know, I know, I know: it's easier to let go.
.o8 The Blower's Daughter - Damien Rice
And so it is just like you said it would be. Life goes easy on me...most of the time. And so it is the shorter story; no love, no glory. No hero in her sky.
.o9 Play Crack the Sky - Brand New
This is the end. This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear. Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath. I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea. I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean. I know that this is what you want. A funeral keeps both of us apart. You know that you are not alone. Need you like water in my lungs.
.o10 Your Own Disaster - Taking Back Sunday
Just think of this and me as just a few of the many things, to lie around and clutter up your shelves. And I wish you weren't worth the wait, because there's some thing's I'd like to say to you.
.o11 The District Sleeps Alone Tonight - The Postal Service
I'll wear my badge... a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest that tells your new friends I am a visitor here, I am not permanent. And the only thing keeping me dry is where I am. You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex. A stranger with your door key, explaining that I am just visiting. And I am finally seeing, why I was the one worth leaving
.o12 Lua - Bright Eyes
When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend. I get a coffee and the paper; have my own conversations with the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection. The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit. And I’m not sure what the trouble was that started all of this. The reasons all have run away but the feeling never did. It’s not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live. 'Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is. What’s so simple in the moonlight, now is so complicated.
.o13 Broken - Lifehouse
The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight. Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time. I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts. I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out. The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head. I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead. I'm hangin' on another day, just to see what you throw my way. And I'm hanging on to the words you say. You said that I will be OK. The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone, I may have lost my way now, have forgotten my way home.
.o14 The Tide - Spill Canvas
And he can't understand how everyone goes on breathing when true love ends. His mother whispers quietly, "Heaven's not a place that you go when you die, it's that moment in life when you actually feel alive. So live for the moment, and take this advice, live by every word. Love is just a hoax so forget everything that you have heard." Forget everything.
