Pilot Speed - Alright
Tonight I lack the strength to even move
You walked, now watch me die
But I know this is harder for you
For love has let you down
Yeah, c’monThe road ahead is lined with broken dreams
So walk, walk on by
And I failed to give you everything you need
For the fears behind your eyesWhen I can’t feel you, I’m not alright, I’m not alright
When I can’t hear you, I’m not alright, I’m not alright, I’m not alright!When I can’t feel you, I’m not alright, I’m not alright, I’m not alright
Oh Jesus, as you throw me on the rocks
For love I left your side
For I believed in love and beauty’s wiles
Where heaven shone from your eyesWhen I can’t feel you, I’m not alright, I’m not alright
When I can’t heal you, I’m not alright, I’m not alright, I’m not alrightSo tell me that it wasn’t all for naught
It’s such a waste now, it’s such a waste now, c’mon
‘Cause I know you’re scared, but baby don’t you hide
It’s such a waste and we’ll stand alone now, you’ll make it somehow
Baz Luhrmann - Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
It’s too late to apologize…
THIS. OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
Jar of Hearts / Christina Perri
No, I can’t take one more step towards you
‘Cause all that’s waiting is regret
Don’t you know I’m not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ‘round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are?
I hear you’re asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
I’ve learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ‘round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are?
Dear, it took so long just to feel all right
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now you’re back
You don’t get to get me back
And who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ‘round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all
Who do you think you are?
i’ve never heard this song before but three lines in and i love it.
Carolina Liar - Drown
So soon you will learn to forget
Bad times, the rules and regrets
One day they won’t reach out for you
So you put out the fires you set
As smoke fades from your last cigarette
You’re a mess, but yes, you’re beautifulOh, come on down, we can’t drown in this water
It’s only gonna set us free
Come on now, we can’t drown in this water
You’ve been praying for a remedyWho really cares about fate or mistakes
Trailer park dreams don’t carry much weight
In the long run you’ve got nothing to prove
So go, run while you can still get away
Take a breath while it’s still yours to take
You’re a mess, but yes, you’re beautifulOh, come on down, we can’t drown in this water
It’s only gonna set us free
Come on now, we can’t drown in this water
You’ve been praying for a remedyYou’ve been praying for a remedy
You’ve been praying for a remedySo who really cares if you make a mistake
Oh, come on down, we can’t drown in this water
It’s only gonna set us free
Come on now, we can’t drown in this water
You’ve been praying for a remedy
Oh, come on down, we can’t drown in this water
It’s only gonna set us free
Come on down, you know that you want it
You’ve been praying for a remedy
Five For Fighting - Superman (It’s Not Easy)
I can’t stand to fly, I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find the better part of me
I’m more than a bird, I’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
And it’s not easy to be meI wish that I could cry, fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie about a home I’ll never see
It may sound absurd, but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it’s not easy to be meUp, up and away, away from me
Well, it’s all right, you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy or anythingI can’t stand to fly, I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me, inside of me
Yeah, inside of me, inside of meI’m only a man in a funny red sheet
I’m only a man looking for a dream
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, it’s not easy to be me
Augustana - Sweet and Low (Acoustic Version)
Anywhere you go, anyone you meet
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies
I said, well, hell is so close and heaven’s out of reach
But I ain’t giving up quite yet, I’ve got too much to loseHold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down and I’ll carry you homeThe rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine
The wind is gonna blow, the water’s gonna rise
She said, when that day comes, look into my eyes
But no one’s giving up quite yet, we’ve got too much to loseHold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me downAnd I’ll carry you all the way when you say you’re fine
But you’re still young and out of line
And when all I need’s to turn around to make it last, to make it count
I ain’t gonna make the same mistakes that put my mama in her grave
I don’t wanna be aloneHold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
So hold me down and I’ll carry you home
Christina Perri - Arms
I never thought that you
Would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around
And you knocked me off the ground from the startYou put your arms around me
And I believe that it’s easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I’m homeHow many times will you let me
Change my mind to turn around?
I can’t decide if I’ll let you save my life
Or if I’ll drownI hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me ‘cause I’m already falling
I’ll never let our love get so close
You put your arms around me and I’m homeThe world is coming down on me
And I can’t find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you
But I can’t make you bleed if I’m aloneYou put your arms around me
And I believe that it’s easier for you to let me goI hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me ‘cause I’m already falling
I’ll never let our love get so close
You put your arms around me and I’m homeI tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I’ve never opened up, I’ve never truly loved till you
Put your arms around me
And I believe that it’s easier for you to let me goI hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me ‘cause I’m already falling
I’ll never let our love get so close
You put your arms around me and I’m home
You put your arms around me and I’m home
