BUT IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? & if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
I was left to my own devices Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Great clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Great clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? Oh oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins?

you are a runner & I am my father's son | wolf parade
I got a number on me I got a number Won't make it through the high noon sun I am my father's son I am my father's son His bed is made I was a hero Early in the morning I ain't no hero In the night I am my father's son And I'll build a house inside of you I'll go in through the mouth I'll draw three figures on your heart One of them will be me as a boy One of them will be me One of them will be me watching you run watching you run Into the high noon sun Watching you run Farther than guns will go You are a runner With a stolen voice And you are a runner And I am my father's son I am my father's son I am my father's son
I keep kicking at the curb with my worn out shoes and I keep running into stranger's that say I know you and I don't wanna be a proud man just wanna be a man. A little less like my father and more like my dad. I wanna hunt like David, I wanna kill me a giant man, I wanna slay my demons, But I got lots of them, I got lots of them.
I try to keep my conscience clean. I try to keep myself out of your bad dreams. I try to wash my hands for you every night, oh, lest you find my strangling fingers wrapped around tight. I wanna hunt like David, I want to kill me a giant man, I wanna slay my demons, But I got lots of them, I got lots of them.
I wanna hunt like David, I wanna to kill me a giant man, I wanna slay my demons, But I got lots of them, I got lots of them
I have my mother's dreams, I have my father's eyes, You can't take that from me, Just go ahead and try. The crescent city sleeps, While giants in the sky, Preparing to unleash, Let loose a mighty cry.
Can nobody save us? Will anyone try? The bayou is burning, The cypress is dying. And all along they're saying.
Help is on the way (They said, they said) Help is on the way (They said, they said) One by land, two by sea. Right there in front of me. Help is on the way.
Five thousand feet below, As black smoke engulfs the sky, The ocean floor explodes, Eleven mothers cry. My bones all resonate, A burning lullaby, You can't take that from me, Just go ahead and try.
She stands at the shoreline, With hands in the air, Her words pierce the dark night, "Does anyone care? " And all along they're saying
Things we lost to the flames Things we'll never see again All that we've amassed Sits before us, shattered into ash
These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire
We sat and made a list Of all the things that we had Down the backs of table tops Ticket stubs and your diaries
I read them all one day When loneliness came and you were away Oh they told me nothing new, But I love to read the words you used
These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire
I was the match and you were the rock Maybe we started this fire We sat apart and watched All we had burned on the pyre
(You said) we were born with nothing And we sure as hell have nothing now (You said) we were born with nothing And we sure as hell have nothing now
These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire
Do you understand that we will never be the same again? Do you understand that we will never be the same again? The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again
We were young and drinking in the park There was nowhere else to go And you said you always had my back Oh but how were we to know
That these are the days that bind you together, forever And these little things define you forever, forever
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry? It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?
If we're only ever looking back We will drive ourselves insane As the friendship goes resentment grows We will walk our different ways
But those are the days that bind us together, forever And those little things define us forever, forever
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry? It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?
And I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry? It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?
Those who are dead are not dead They’re just living in my head And since I fell for that spell I am living there as well Oh..
Time is so short and I’m sure There must be something more
Those who are dead are not dead They’re just living in my head oh… And since I fell for that spell I am living there as well oh…
Time is so short and I’m sure There must be something more
You thought you might be a ghost You thought you might be a ghost You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close
You thought you might be a ghost You thought you might be a ghost You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close You didn’t get to heaven but you oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh Oh oh…
Those who are dead are not dead They’re just living in my head Oh..
Walking out into the dark Cutting out a different path Lead by your beating heart
All the people of the town Cast their eyes right to the ground In matters of the heart
The night was all you had You ran into the night from all you had Found yourself a path upon the ground You ran into the night; you can't be found
But
This is your heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Summer evening breezes blew Drawing voices deep from you Lead by your beating heart
What a year and what a night What terrifying final sights Put out your beating heart
The night was all you had You ran into the night from all you had Found yourself a path upon the ground You ran into the night; you can't be found
But
This is your heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
If you had your gun would you shoot it at the sky, why? To see where it would fall, will you come down at all? If you had your gun would you shoot it at the sky, why? To see where your bullet would fall, will you come down at all?
This is your heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
The faces all around me they don't smile they just crack Waiting for our ship to come but our ships not coming back We do our time like pennies in a jar What are we saving for? What are we saving for?
There's a smell of stale fear that's reeking from our skins. The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins We sit and grow our roots into the floor But what are we waiting for? What are we waiting for?
So give me something to believe Cause I am living just to breathe And I need something more To keep on breathing for So give me something to believe
Something's always coming you can hear it in the ground It swells into the air With the rising Rising sound And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors What are we waiting for What are we waiting for?
So give me something to believe Cause I am living just to breathe And I need something more To keep on breathing for So give me something to believe
I am hiding from some beast But the beast was always here Watching without eyes Because the beast is just my fear That I am just nothing Now its just what I've become What am I waiting for It's already done
Oh So give me something to believe Cause I am living just to breathe And I need something more To keep on breathing for So give me something to believe

Pale light this morning Woke me Slow pain I feel Will not let me be
So much work to do I don't know if I can Trying so hard, so hard, so hard But I'm just one man
Five years old I climbed up on the wall My mother warned me but I took no heed Like all creatures great and small I took a fall and found out I could bleed
These days I'm afraid of everything Suppose cause everything will die Thought it was to love what they will lose So much easier to lie
Sometimes I fell like I'm drowning Actually it's more like most of the time But every now and then when I'm sleeping I still have a dream that I'm flying
Moving along at a pace unknown to man Go go go go go go Go go go go go
And you thought the lions were bad Well they tried to kill my brothers And for every king that died Oh they would crown another And it's harder than you think Telling dreams from one another And you thought the lions were bad Well they tried to kill my brothers
And felled in the night By the ones you think you love They will come for you And felled in the night By the ones you think you love They will come for you
Dreaming along at a pace you'll understand Go go go go go go No no no no no
And you thought the lions were bad Well they tried to kill my brothers And for every king that died Oh they would crown another And it's harder than you think Telling dreams from one another And you thought the lions were bad Well they tried to kill my brothers
And felled in the night By the ones you think you love They will come for you And felled in the night By the ones you think you love They will come for you
Oh, to see what it means to be free Of the shackles and the dreams That you claim to see
And felled in the night By the ones you think you love They will come for you And felled in the night By the ones you think you love They will come for you
Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost Doesn't mean I'll stop Doesn't mean I would cross
Just because I'm hurting Doesn't mean I'm hurt Doesn't mean I didn't get What I deserved No better and no worse
I just got lost Every river that I tried to cross Every door I ever tried was locked Ohhh and I'm... Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
You might be a big fish In a little pond Doesn't mean you've won 'Cause along may come A bigger one
And you'll be lost Every river that you tried to cross Every gun you ever held went off Ohhh and I'm... Just waiting until the firing stopped Ohhh and I'm... Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I... Just waiting 'til the shine wears off Ohhh and I.. Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground Try this trick and spin it, yeah Your head will collapse But there's nothing in it And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where is my mind?
Way out in the water See it swimmin'
I was swimmin' in the Caribbean Animals were hiding behind the rocks Except the little fish But they told me, he swears Tryin' to talk to me, to me, to me.
Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where is my mind?
Way out in the water See it swimmin'
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground Try this trick and spin it, yeah Your head will collapse If there's nothing in it And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where is my mind?
Way out in the water See it swimmin'
Oh With your feet on the air and your head on the ground Oh Try this trick and spin it, yeah Oh Oh
Your own personal Jesus Someone to hear your prayers Someone who cares Your own personal Jesus Someone to hear your prayers Someone who's there
Feeling unknown And you're all alone Flesh and bone By the telephone Lift up the receiver I'll make you a believer Take second best Put me to the test Things on your chest That we need to confess I will deliver You know I'm a forgiver Reach out and touch faith Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus...
Feeling unknown And you're all alone Flesh and bone By the telephone Lift up the receiver I'll make you a believer I will deliver You know I'm a forgiver Reach out and touch faith Your own personal Jesus Reach out and touch faith
When routine bites hard, And ambitions are low, And resentment rides high, But emotions won't grow, And we're changing our ways, Taking different roads.
Then love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again.
Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side. Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry. Yet there's still this appeal That we've kept through our lives.
But love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again.
You cry out in your sleep, All my failings exposed. And there's a taste in my mouth, As desperation takes hold. Just that something so good Just can't function no more.
But love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again.
Can't get the stink off He's been hanging round for days Comes like a comet Suckered you but not your friends One day he'll get to you And teach you how to be a holy cow
You do it to yourself, you do And that's what really hurts Is that you do it to yourself Just you and no one else You do it to yourself You do it to yourself
Don't get my sympathy Hanging out the 15th floor You've changed the locks three times He still comes reeling through the door One day I'll get you And teach you how to get to purest hell
You do it to yourself, you do And that's what really hurts Is that you do it to yourself Just you, you and no one else You do it to yourself You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself, you do And that's what really hurts Is that you do it to yourself Just you, you and no one else You do it to yourself You do it to yourself.. yourself.. yourself..
Step one, you say, "We need to talk." He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk." He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best 'Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along Pray to God, he hears you And I pray to God, he hears you
And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
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
And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face And I...
Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face And I...
Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
When all of your flaws and all of my flaws Are laid out one by one A wonderful part of the mess that we made We pick ourselves undone
All of your flaws and all of my flaws They lie there hand in hand Ones we've inherited, ones that we learned They pass from man to man
There's a hole in my soul I can't fill it I can't fill it There's a hole in my soul Can you fill it? Can you fill it?
You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground Dig them up; let's finish what we've started Dig them up, so nothing's left unturned
All of your flaws and all of my flaws, When they have been exhumed We'll see that we need them to be who we are Without them we'd be doomed
There's a hole in my soul I can't fill it I can't fill it There's a hole in my soul Can you fill it? Can you fill it?
You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground Dig them up; let's finish what we've started Dig them up, so nothing's left unturned
Hello, hello Anybody out there? Cause I don't hear a sound Alone, alone I don't really know where the world is but I miss it now
I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name Like a fool at the top of my lungs Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright But it's never enough
Cause my echo, echo Is the only voice coming back Shadow, shadow Is the only friend that I have
Listen, listen I would take a whisper if that's all you had to give But it isn't, is it? You could come and save me and try to chase the crazy right out of my head
I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name Like a fool at the top of my lungs Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright But it's never enough
Cause my echo, echo Is the only voice coming back Shadow, shadow Is the only friend that I have
I don't wanna be an island I just wanna feel alive and Get to see your face again
I don't wanna be island I just wanna feel alive and Get to see your face again
But 'til then Just my echo, my shadow You're my only friend and I'm
I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name Like a fool at the top of my lungs Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright But it's never enough
One of these days the sky's gonna break And everything will escape and I'll know One of these days the mountains Are gonna fall into the sea and they'll know
That you and I were made for this I was made to taste your kiss We were made to never fall away Never fall away
One of these days letters are gonna fall From the sky telling us all to go free But until that day I'll find a way To let everybody know that you're coming back You're coming back for me
'Cause even though you left me here I have nothing left to fear These are only walls that hold me here Hold me here, hold me here, hold me here Only walls that hold me here
One day soon I'll hold you like the sun holds the moon And we will hear those planes overhead And we won't have to be scared 'Cause we won't have to be scared We won't have to be, yeah, scared, no
You're coming back for me You're coming back for me You're coming back to me You're coming back for me

You're coming You're coming back for me You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me You're coming back for me You're coming back to me You're coming back to me
Today I heard that someone left this earth That someone disappeared, left no mark here Today I heard that someone just got up and left himself Lying on the ground
Today is, today is Today is quiet in my town Today is, today is Today is quiet in my town

I'm bleeding out So if the last thing that I do Is bring you down I'll bleed out for you So I bare my skin And I count my sins And I close my eyes And I take it in I'm bleeding out I'm bleeding out for you, for you.
When the day has come That I've lost my way around And the seasons stop and hide beneath the ground When the sky turns gray And everything is screaming I will reach inside Just to find my heart is beating
Oh, you tell me to hold on Oh, you tell me to hold on But innocence is gone And what was right is wrong

When the hour is night And hopelessness is sinking in And the wolves all cry To fill the night with hollering When your eyes are red And emptiness is all you know With the darkness fed I will be your scarecrow
You tell me to hold on Oh you tell me to hold on But innocence is gone And what was right is wrong
'Cause I'm bleeding out So if the last thing that I do Is to bring you down I'll bleed out for you So I bare my skin And I count my sins And I close my eyes And I take it in And I'm bleeding out I'm bleeding out for you, for you.

All I want now is to be with you Cause you know I've been everywhere else Looking back at what you got me through You knew me better than I knew myself
When I feel lost and I can't find my way When words are at a loss I can hear you say
I'll be by your side, when all hope has died I will still be around oh and I, I'm still on your side When everything's wrong, I will still be around By your side
Fighting my way back to where you are The only place I ever felt at home Stumbling backwards through the dark I know how it feels to be alone And where we go is where I wanna be And in the silence I hear you say to me
I'll be by your side, when all hope has died I will still be around, oh and I, I'm still on your side When everything's wrong, I will still be around

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before my friend But I don't know if you know who I am Well, I was there and I saw what you did I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows It's no stranger to you or me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord...
When life leaves you high and dry I'll be at your door tonight If you need help, if you need help. I'll shut down the city lights, I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe To make you well, to make you well.
When enemies are at your door I'll carry you away from more If you need help, if you need help. Your hope dangling by a string I'll share in your suffering To make you well, to make you well.
Give me reasons to believe That you would do the same for me.
And I would do it for you, for you. Baby, I'm not moving on I love you long after you're gone. For you, for you. You will never sleep alone. I love you long after you're gone And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
When you fall like a statue I'm gon' be there to catch you Put you on your feet, you on your feet. And if your well is empty Not a thing will prevent me. Tell me what you need, what do you need?
I surrender honestly. You've always done the same for me.
So I would do it for you, for you. Baby, I'm not moving on, I love you long after you're gone. For you, for you. You will never sleep alone. I love you long after you're gone And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
You're my back bone. You're my cornerstone. You're my crutch when my legs stop moving. You're my head start. You're my rugged heart. You're the pulse that I've always needed.
Going back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand Saying, "If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?"
Some try to hand me money, they don't understand I'm not broke – I'm just a broken-hearted man I know it makes no sense but what else can I do? How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
Policeman says, "Son, you can't stay here." I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year. Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows. If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go."
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving, I'm not moving, I'm not moving
People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl, oh ohh There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world, hmm
And maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved Maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news And you'll come running to the corner 'Cause you'll know it's just for you I'm the man who can't be moved I'm the man who can't be moved
It’s been a long year Since we last spoke How’s your halo? Just between you and I You and me and the satellites I never believed you I only wanted to Before all of this What did I miss? Do you ever get homesick? I can’t get used to it I can’t get used to it I’ll never get used to it I’ll never get used to it
I’m under that night I’m under those same stars We’re in a red car You asleep at my side Going in and out of the headlights Could I have saved you? Would that’ve betrayed you? I wanna burn this film You alone with those pills What you couldn’t do I will I forgive you I’ll forgive you I’ll forgive you I forgive you
For blue, blue skies For blue, blue skies For blue, blue skies For blue, blue skies I’ll forgive you
When I'm counting up my demons. Saw there was one for every day. With the good ones on my shoulder, I drove the other ones away.
If you ever feel neglected, If you think all is lost, I'll be counting up my demons, yeah, Hoping everything's not lost. When you thought that it was over, You could feel it all around, Everybody's out to get you, Don't you let it drag you down. Cos if you ever feel neglected, If you think that all is lost, I'll be counting up my demons, yeah. Hoping everything's not lost
If you ever feel neglected, If you think all is lost, I'll be counting up my demons, yeah, Hoping everything's not lost.
Singing out, Oh oh oh yeah, Oh oh yeah, Oh oh yeah, Everything's not lost. Come on yeah, Oh oh yeah, Come on yeah, Everything's not lost, Oh oh oh yeah, Oh oh yeah, Oh oh yeah, And everything's not lost
Chances are when said and done Who'll be the lucky ones who make it all the way? Though you say I could be your answer Nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today
Chances are we'll find a new equation Chances roll away from me Chances are all they hope to be
Don't get me wrong I'd never say never 'Cause though love can change the weather No act of God can pull me away from you
I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you And though I see us through, yeah
Chances are we'll find two destinations Chances roll away from me Still chances are more than expectations The possibilities over me
It's a fight with two to one, lay your money on the sun Until you crash what have you done? Is there a better bet than love? What you are is what you breathe, you gotta cry before you sing
Chances, chances Chances lost are hope's torn up pages Maybe this time
Chances are we'll be the combination Chances come and carry me Chances are waiting to be taken, and I can see
Chances are the fascinations Chances won't escape from me Chances are only what we make them and all I need

pompeii | bastille
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
you are a runner & I am my father's son | wolf parade
I got a number on me
I got a number
Won't make it through the high noon sun
I am my father's son
I am my father's son
His bed is made
I was a hero
Early in the morning
I ain't no hero
In the night
I am my father's son
And I'll build a house inside of you
I'll go in through the mouth
I'll draw three figures on your heart
One of them will be me as a boy
One of them will be me
One of them will be me watching you run
watching you run
Into the high noon sun
Watching you run
Farther than guns will go
You are a runner
With a stolen voice
And you are a runner
And I am my father's son
I am my father's son
I am my father's son
david | noah gundersen
I keep kicking at the curb with my worn out shoes
and I keep running into stranger's that say I know you
and I don't wanna be a proud man just wanna be a man.
A little less like my father and more like my dad.
I wanna hunt like David,
I wanna kill me a giant man,
I wanna slay my demons,
But I got lots of them, I got lots of them.
I try to keep my conscience clean.
I try to keep myself out of your bad dreams.
I try to wash my hands for you every night,
oh, lest you find my strangling fingers
wrapped around tight.
I wanna hunt like David,
I want to kill me a giant man,
I wanna slay my demons,
But I got lots of them, I got lots of them.
I wanna hunt like David,
I wanna to kill me a giant man,
I wanna slay my demons,
But I got lots of them, I got lots of them
help is on the way | rise against
I have my mother's dreams,
I have my father's eyes,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.
The crescent city sleeps,
While giants in the sky,
Preparing to unleash,
Let loose a mighty cry.
Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The bayou is burning,
The cypress is dying.
And all along they're saying.
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.
Five thousand feet below,
As black smoke engulfs the sky,
The ocean floor explodes,
Eleven mothers cry.
My bones all resonate,
A burning lullaby,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.
She stands at the shoreline,
With hands in the air,
Her words pierce the dark night,
"Does anyone care? "
And all along they're saying
Help is on the way
things we lost in the fire | bastille
Things we lost to the flames
Things we'll never see again
All that we've amassed
Sits before us, shattered into ash
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
We sat and made a list
Of all the things that we had
Down the backs of table tops
Ticket stubs and your diaries
I read them all one day
When loneliness came and you were away
Oh they told me nothing new,
But I love to read the words you used
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
I was the match and you were the rock
Maybe we started this fire
We sat apart and watched
All we had burned on the pyre
(You said) we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now
(You said) we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
Do you understand that we will never be the same again?
Do you understand that we will never be the same again?
The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again
The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again
bad blood | bastille
We were young and drinking in the park
There was nowhere else to go
And you said you always had my back
Oh but how were we to know
That these are the days that bind you together, forever
And these little things define you forever, forever
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?
If we're only ever looking back
We will drive ourselves insane
As the friendship goes resentment grows
We will walk our different ways
But those are the days that bind us together, forever
And those little things define us forever, forever
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?
And I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore
I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore
I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore
I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?

a touching moment | michael giacchino
laura palmer | bastille
Walking out into the dark
Cutting out a different path
Lead by your beating heart
All the people of the town
Cast their eyes right to the ground
In matters of the heart
The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path upon the ground
You ran into the night; you can't be found
But
This is your heart
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Summer evening breezes blew
Drawing voices deep from you
Lead by your beating heart
What a year and what a night
What terrifying final sights
Put out your beating heart
The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path upon the ground
You ran into the night; you can't be found
But
This is your heart
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
If you had your gun would you shoot it at the sky, why?
To see where it would fall, will you come down at all?
If you had your gun would you shoot it at the sky, why?
To see where your bullet would fall, will you come down at all?
This is your heart
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
believe | the bravery
The faces all around me they don't smile they just crack
Waiting for our ship to come but our ships not coming back
We do our time like pennies in a jar
What are we saving for?
What are we saving for?
There's a smell of stale fear that's reeking from our skins.
The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins
We sit and grow our roots into the floor
But what are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breathe
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe
Something's always coming you can hear it in the ground
It swells into the air
With the rising
Rising sound
And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors
What are we waiting for
What are we waiting for?
So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breathe
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe
I am hiding from some beast
But the beast was always here
Watching without eyes
Because the beast is just my fear
That I am just nothing
Now its just what I've become
What am I waiting for
It's already done
Oh
So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breathe
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe
make your own kind of music | mama cass elliot
Nobody can tell ya;
There's only one song worth singin'.
They may try and sell ya,
'cause it hangs them up
to see someone like you.
But you've gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sing along.
So if you cannot take my hand,
and if you must be goin',
I will understand.
You're gonna be knowing
the loneliest kind of lonely.
It may be rough goin',
just to do your thing's
the hardest thing to do.
But you've gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sings along.
So if you cannot take my hand,
and if you must be goin',
I will understand.
You gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sings along.
downtown | petula clark
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown
Things will be great when you're downtown
No finer place for sure, downtown
Everything's waiting for you
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
Waiting for you tonight, downtown
You're gonna be alright now, downtown
Downtown
Downtown
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown
Things will be great when you're downtown
Don't wait a minute more, downtown
Everything is waiting for you, downtown
dream about flying | alexi murdoch
Pale light this morning
Woke me
Slow pain I feel
Will not let me be
So much work to do
I don't know if I can
Trying so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm just one man
Five years old I climbed up on the wall
My mother warned me but I took no heed
Like all creatures great and small
I took a fall and found out I could bleed
These days I'm afraid of everything
Suppose cause everything will die
Thought it was to love what they will lose
So much easier to lie
Sometimes I fell like I'm drowning
Actually it's more like most of the time
But every now and then when I'm sleeping
I still have a dream that I'm flying
And I wake up crying
daniel in the den | bastille
Moving along at a pace unknown to man
Go go go go go go
Go go go go go
And you thought the lions were bad
Well they tried to kill my brothers
And for every king that died
Oh they would crown another
And it's harder than you think
Telling dreams from one another
And you thought the lions were bad
Well they tried to kill my brothers
And felled in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
And felled in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
Dreaming along at a pace you'll understand
Go go go go go go
No no no no no
And you thought the lions were bad
Well they tried to kill my brothers
And for every king that died
Oh they would crown another
And it's harder than you think
Telling dreams from one another
And you thought the lions were bad
Well they tried to kill my brothers
And felled in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
And felled in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
Oh, to see what it means to be free
Of the shackles and the dreams
That you claim to see
And felled in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
And felled in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
lost! | coldplay
Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I would cross
Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get
What I deserved
No better and no worse
I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one
And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting until the firing stopped
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I..
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
where is my mind? | the pixies
Oh - stop
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'
I was swimmin' in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me, to me, to me.
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'
Oh
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Oh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Oh
Oh
your own personal jesus | marilyn manson
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
That we need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus...
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
love will tear us apart | joy division
When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low,
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow,
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads.
Then love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on your side.
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry.
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives.
But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
You cry out in your sleep,
All my failings exposed.
And there's a taste in my mouth,
As desperation takes hold.
Just that something so good
Just can't function no more.
But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
just | radiohead
Can't get the stink off
He's been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered you but not your friends
One day he'll get to you
And teach you how to be a holy cow
You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself
Just you and no one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
Don't get my sympathy
Hanging out the 15th floor
You've changed the locks three times
He still comes reeling through the door
One day I'll get you
And teach you how to get to purest hell
You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself
Just you, you and no one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself
Just you, you and no one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself.. yourself.. yourself..
how to save a life | the fray
Step one, you say, "We need to talk."
He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk."
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
Pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears you
And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
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
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
flaws | bastille
When all of your flaws and all of my flaws
Are laid out one by one
A wonderful part of the mess that we made
We pick ourselves undone
All of your flaws and all of my flaws
They lie there hand in hand
Ones we've inherited, ones that we learned
They pass from man to man
There's a hole in my soul
I can't fill it I can't fill it
There's a hole in my soul
Can you fill it? Can you fill it?
You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve
And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground
Dig them up; let's finish what we've started
Dig them up, so nothing's left unturned
All of your flaws and all of my flaws,
When they have been exhumed
We'll see that we need them to be who we are
Without them we'd be doomed
There's a hole in my soul
I can't fill it I can't fill it
There's a hole in my soul
Can you fill it? Can you fill it?
You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve
And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground
Dig them up; let's finish what we've started
Dig them up, so nothing's left unturned
echo | jason walker
Hello, hello
Anybody out there? Cause I don't hear a sound
Alone, alone
I don't really know where the world is but I miss it now
I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough
Cause my echo, echo
Is the only voice coming back
Shadow, shadow
Is the only friend that I have
Listen, listen
I would take a whisper if that's all you had to give
But it isn't, is it?
You could come and save me and try to chase the crazy right out of my head
I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough
Cause my echo, echo
Is the only voice coming back
Shadow, shadow
Is the only friend that I have
I don't wanna be an island
I just wanna feel alive and
Get to see your face again
I don't wanna be island
I just wanna feel alive and
Get to see your face again
But 'til then
Just my echo, my shadow
You're my only friend and I'm
I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough
Cause my echo, echo
Oh my shadow, shadow
Hello, hello
Anybody out there?
letters from the sky | civil twilight
One of these days the sky's gonna break
And everything will escape and I'll know
One of these days the mountains
Are gonna fall into the sea and they'll know
That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away
One of these days letters are gonna fall
From the sky telling us all to go free
But until that day I'll find a way
To let everybody know that you're coming back
You're coming back for me
'Cause even though you left me here
I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here
Hold me here, hold me here, hold me here
Only walls that hold me here
One day soon I'll hold you like the sun holds the moon
And we will hear those planes overhead
And we won't have to be scared
'Cause we won't have to be scared
We won't have to be, yeah, scared, no
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back to me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back to me
You're coming back to me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back
quiet in my town | civil twilight
Today I heard that someone left this earth
That someone disappeared, left no mark here
Today I heard that someone just got up and left himself
Lying on the ground
Today is, today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is, today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today two boys disappeared without noise
And I wish that I was them flying somewhere overhead
And tonight in silence, two lovers hate and find
One is bored, one is angry
But neither one of them is right, oh
Today is, today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is, oh, today is
Today is too quiet in my town, ooh
Oh, somebody say something, ooh
Today I heard the sound of birds
And I wish that I was anywhere but here
Today is, today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is, oh, today is
Today is too quiet in my town
Today I heard the sound of birds
And I wish that I was anywhere but here
It's too quiet, too quiet
It's too quite, too quiet
It's too quiet, it's too quiet
It's just too quiet
It's too quiet, it's too quiet
It's too quiet, it's too quiet
It's too quiet, it's too quiet
This town, in here, in here, in here
It's too quite in my town, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, I sing it out
Today is, today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is, today
Today is too quiet in my town
Today is, today is
Today is quiet in my town
bleeding out | imagine dragons
I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you.
When the day has come
That I've lost my way around
And the seasons stop and hide beneath the ground
When the sky turns gray
And everything is screaming
I will reach inside
Just to find my heart is beating
Oh, you tell me to hold on
Oh, you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong
'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
When the hour is night
And hopelessness is sinking in
And the wolves all cry
To fill the night with hollering
When your eyes are red
And emptiness is all you know
With the darkness fed
I will be your scarecrow
You tell me to hold on
Oh you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong
'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you.
all these things that I've done | the killers
When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain't changing me
The gold-hearted boy I used to be
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
by your side | lifehouse
All I want now is to be with you
Cause you know I've been everywhere else
Looking back at what you got me through
You knew me better than I knew myself
When I feel lost and I can't find my way
When words are at a loss I can hear you say
I'll be by your side, when all hope has died
I will still be around oh and I, I'm still on your side
When everything's wrong, I will still be around
By your side
Fighting my way back to where you are
The only place I ever felt at home
Stumbling backwards through the dark
I know how it feels to be alone
And where we go is where I wanna be
And in the silence I hear you say to me
I'll be by your side, when all hope has died
I will still be around, oh and I, I'm still on your side
When everything's wrong, I will still be around
I can't wait another day to show my space between
Your heart and mine, and you're all that I need
You say I
I'll be by your side, when all hope has died
I will still be around, oh and I, I'm still on your side
When everything's wrong, I will still be around
By your side, by your side, by your side, by your side, by your side
in the air tonight | phil collins
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord...
gone gone gone | phillip phillips
When life leaves you high and dry
I'll be at your door tonight
If you need help, if you need help.
I'll shut down the city lights,
I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe
To make you well, to make you well.
When enemies are at your door
I'll carry you away from more
If you need help, if you need help.
Your hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you well.
Give me reasons to believe
That you would do the same for me.
And I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
When you fall like a statue
I'm gon' be there to catch you
Put you on your feet, you on your feet.
And if your well is empty
Not a thing will prevent me.
Tell me what you need, what do you need?
I surrender honestly.
You've always done the same for me.
So I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on,
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
You're my back bone.
You're my cornerstone.
You're my crutch when my legs stop moving.
You're my head start.
You're my rugged heart.
You're the pulse that I've always needed.
the man who can't be moved | the script
Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, "If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?"
Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke – I'm just a broken-hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do?
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
Policeman says, "Son, you can't stay here."
I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year.
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows.
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go."
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving
People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl, oh ohh
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world, hmm
And maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'Cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved
for blue skies | strays don't sleep
It’s been a long year
Since we last spoke
How’s your halo?
Just between you and I
You and me and the satellites
I never believed you
I only wanted to
Before all of this
What did I miss?
Do you ever get homesick?
I can’t get used to it
I can’t get used to it
I’ll never get used to it
I’ll never get used to it
I’m under that night
I’m under those same stars
We’re in a red car
You asleep at my side
Going in and out of the headlights
Could I have saved you?
Would that’ve betrayed you?
I wanna burn this film
You alone with those pills
What you couldn’t do I will
I forgive you
I’ll forgive you
I’ll forgive you
I forgive you
For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skies
I’ll forgive you
everything's not lost | coldplay
When I'm counting up my demons.
Saw there was one for every day.
With the good ones on my shoulder,
I drove the other ones away.
If you ever feel neglected,
If you think all is lost,
I'll be counting up my demons, yeah,
Hoping everything's not lost.
When you thought that it was over,
You could feel it all around,
Everybody's out to get you,
Don't you let it drag you down.
Cos if you ever feel neglected,
If you think that all is lost,
I'll be counting up my demons, yeah.
Hoping everything's not lost
If you ever feel neglected,
If you think all is lost,
I'll be counting up my demons, yeah,
Hoping everything's not lost.
Singing out,
Oh oh oh yeah,
Oh oh yeah,
Oh oh yeah,
Everything's not lost.
Come on yeah,
Oh oh yeah,
Come on yeah,
Everything's not lost,
Oh oh oh yeah,
Oh oh yeah,
Oh oh yeah,
And everything's not lost
chances | five for fighting
Chances are when said and done
Who'll be the lucky ones who make it all the way?
Though you say I could be your answer
Nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today
Chances are we'll find a new equation
Chances roll away from me
Chances are all they hope to be
Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
'Cause though love can change the weather
No act of God can pull me away from you
I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
And though I see us through, yeah
Chances are we'll find two destinations
Chances roll away from me
Still chances are more than expectations
The possibilities over me
It's a fight with two to one, lay your money on the sun
Until you crash what have you done? Is there a better bet than love?
What you are is what you breathe, you gotta cry before you sing
Chances, chances
Chances lost are hope's torn up pages
Maybe this time
Chances are we'll be the combination
Chances come and carry me
Chances are waiting to be taken, and I can see
Chances are the fascinations
Chances won't escape from me
Chances are only what we make them and all I need
I will be found (lost at sea) | john mayer
It doesn't matter where you roam
When no one's left to call you home
I might have strayed a bit too far
I'm countin' all the moonlit stars
I'm a little lost at sea
I'm a little birdie in a big old tree
Ain't nobody looking for me
Here out on the highway
But I will be found
I will be found
When my time comes down
I will be found
Some days, I think it's all okay
Some nights, I throw it all away
I saw her face and I could tell
My ghost had left the town as well and
I'm a little lost at sea
I'm a little birdie in a big old tree
Ain't nobody looking for me
Here out on the highway
But I will be found
I will be found
When my time comes down
I will be found
I'm a little lost at sea
I'm a little birdie in a big old tree
Ain't nobody looking for me
Here out on the highway
Maybe I'm a runaway train
Maybe I'm a feather in a hurricane
Maybe it's a long played game
But maybe that's a good thing
Cause I will be found
I will be found
When my time comes down
I will be found
So I keep runnin' 'til my run is gone
Keep on ridin' 'til I see that dawn
And I will be found
I will be found
