the juliana theory - don't push love away

Here's a thought, if you're willing to listen. I only tell the
truth of the feelings I'm given. Can you hear me now? Listen.
Whispers in the rain. Listen. Don't push love away, you know
you do. It's all we have. It's a chore holding onto a vision.
Don't leave her high and dry. She's the one you'll be missing.
Can you hear me now? Listen. Whispers in the rain, while you're
awake. Don't push love away, you know you do. It's all we have.
I hate to think hesitation is a burden. A bittersweet design
for a lesson you're learning. She's crying. Can you feel me
now this time? Whispers in the rain, lying awake. Don't push
love away, you know you do. It's all we have.
Here's a thought, if you're willing to listen.

fast as you can- fiona apple

i let the beast in too soon, i dont know how to live
without my hand on his throat; i fight him always & still
o darling, its so sweet, you think you know how crazy
how crazy i am
you say you dont spook easy, you wont go, but i know
and i pray that you will
fast as you can, baby run-free yourself of me
fast as you can

i may be soft in your palm but i'll soon grow
hungry for a fight, and i will not let you win
my pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will
disprove your faith in man
so if you catch me trying to find my way into your
heart from under your skin
fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
fast as you can
fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
fast as you can

sometimes my mind dont shake and shift
but most of the time, it does
and i get to the place where i'm begging for a lift
or i'll drown in the wonders and the was
and i'll be your girl, if you say its a gift
and you give me some more of your drugs
yeah, i'll be your pet, if you just tell me its a gift
cuz i'm tired of whys, choking on whys,
just need a little because, because

i let the beast in and then;
i even tried forgiving him, but its too soon
so i'll fight again, again, again, again, again.
and for a little while more, i'll soar the
uneven wind, complain and blame
the sterile land
but if you're getting any bright ideas, quiet dear
i'm blooming within
fast as you can, baby wait watch me, i'll be out
fast as i can, maybe late, but at least about
fast as you can leave me, let this thing
run its route

sitting, waiting, wishing- jack johnson

I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you would see the signs
But lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain’t the lord no I’m just a fool
Learning loving somebody
Don’t make them love you
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?

I sang your songs I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But putting up with them
Wasn’t worth never having you
Maybe you’ve been through this before
But it’s my first time so please ignore
The next few lines because they’re directed at you
I can’t always be waiting, waiting on you
I can’t always be playing, playing your fool

I keep playing your part
But it’s not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I’ve had enough mystery
You keep building it up
But then you’re shooting me down
But I’m already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

Well if I was in your position
I’d put down all my ammunition
I’d wonder why it had taken me so long
But lord knows that I’m not you
And if I was I wouldn’t be so cruel
Because waiting on love
Ain’t so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?

city and colour- sensible heart

I get so distracted
By some peoples reactions
That I don't see my own faults
For what they are

At times so self destructive
With no intent or motive
But behind this emotion,
There's a sensible heart
A sensible heart

See I'm no king
I wear no crown
But desperate times
Seem over now
But still I weaken somehow
It tears me apart

I hope to learn as time goes by
That I should trust what's deep inside
Burning bright, oh burning bright
My sensible heart

Dashboard Confessional - As Lovers Go

She said "I've gotta be honest
You're wasting your time if you're fishing around here."
And I said, "You must be mistaken
Cause I'm not foolin. This feeling is real."

And she said, She said "You've gotta be crazy
What do you take me for? Some kind of easy mark?"
You've got wits, you've got looks, you've got passion.
But I swear that you've got me all wrong
All wrong, all wrong. and you've got me."

I'll be true, I'll be useful. I'll be cavalier
I'll be yours, my dear and I'll belong to you
If you just let me through
This is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating
And this is wonderful as loving goes
This is telling me what's the sense in waiting?

And I said "I've gotta be honest
I've been waiting for you all my life
For so long I thought I wasn't gonna settle down
But just seeing you makes me think twice

And being with you here makes me sane
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side
You've got wits, you've got looks, you've got passion.
But are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?
Tonight, tonight, you've got me

I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier
I'll be yours, my dear. and I'll belong to you
If you just let me through
This is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating
And this is wonderful as loving goes
This is telling me what's the sense in waiting?

Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy

All the fear has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore
It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
it's my mouth that pushes out this breath
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
Companion to our demons
they will dance, and we will play
With chairs, candles, and cloth
making darkness in the day
It will be easy to look in or out
upstream or down without a thought
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
Peace in the struggle
to find peace
comfort on the way
to comfort
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it


I won't fear love
I won't fear love
I won't fear love.

Third Planet - Modest Mouse

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart, I've got
this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over
My boss just quit the job says he's goin' out to find blind
spots and he'll do it
The 3rd Planet is sure that they're being watched by an
eye in the sky that can't be stopped
When you get to the promise land your gonna shake that
eyes hand
Your heart felt good it was drippin' pitch and made of wood
And your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me
Outside naked, shiverin' looking blue, from the cold
sunlight that's reflected off the moon
Baby cum angels fly around you reminding you we used
to be three and not just two
And that's how the world began
And that's how the world will end
A 3rd had just been made and we were swimming in the
water, didn't know then was it a son was it a daughter
When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming
around in the water in the oceans in our bodies and
another had been found another ocean on the planet
given that our blood is just like the Atlantic
And how
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth if you go
straight long enough you'll end up where you were

all i really want- alanis morissette

do I stress you out
my sweater is on backwards and inside out
and you say how appropriate
i don't want to dissect everything today
i don't mean to pick you apart you see
but I can't help it
there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
slap me with a splintered ruler
and it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
if only I could hunt the hunter

and all I really want is some patience
a way to calm the angry voice
and all I really want is deliverance

do I wear you out
you must wonder why I'm so relentless and all strung out
i'm consumed by the chill of solitary
i'm like Estella
i like to reel it in and then spit it out
i'm frustrated by your apathy
and I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
if only I could meet the Maker

and I am fascinated by the spiritual man
i am humbled by his humble nature
what I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
someone else to catch this drift
and what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred

enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
the conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
falling all around...all around
why are you so petrified of silence
here, can you handle this?

did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
or when you think you're gonna die
or did you long for the next distraction
and all I need know is intellectual intercourse
a soul to dig the hole much deeper
and I have no concept of time other than it is flying
if only I could kill the killer

all I really want is some peace man
a place to find a common ground
and all I really want is a wavelength
all I really want is some comfort
a way to get my hands untied
and all I really want is some justice...

my story why of circumstance (come to circle my stance)

its never been better its been never worse
you are not the first
I found the opposite of now
did you win?, I won
and I think to time it sets in
and towards my cheek a blemish admits my speech
and I want to discover so to uncover this out of that of you to me to glee
I’ll be that morbid curiosity of less than me
do yah say yes to we
I’ve met land to set loose the gentle lapping of tongue (young)
lipped forms smack the dolls
I smell the scent left from your hair the night before filling me
I still the wait of more
full let moons
let full moons of tomorrow rush smile
I’ve always been free
and I don’t want it to be obsessive with you
want it to be memorable with you
that’s a first
do yah want some me to feather the weather
mapping the forbidden
it’s a cluster it’s given
a haven to live in
could yet you let you lay a precious morn
mold the form to ease you find my mind
the climbed rise of may be(may bed)sighs

azaleas- stasia

sometimes i am invisible
sometimes i am invincible
i try make sense of what does not
i take what i can't have 'cause it's all i've got..

and i will dance at any given time
sing in any given space
take you to the end and watch you try to save face
and azaleas will grow in the place we..
you failed me, you know, but you can't see..

why can't i be
what you can see
i can't stay here..

sometimes i climb, but then i fall
sometimes i am nothing at all
i try make you up on the spot
i take what i can't have and make it a lot..

but i will dance at any given time
sing in any given space
take you to the end, and watch you try to replace me
and azaleas will grow in the place we..
you failed me, you know, but you can't see..

why can't i be
what you can see
i can't stay here..

why can't i be
what you can see

sometimes i am..

black- pearl jam

sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
were laid spread out before me as her body once did
all five horizons revolved around her soul
as the earth to the sun
now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

ooh, and all I taught her was everything
ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
and now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
of what was everything
the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
how quick the sun can drop away

and now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
of what was everything
all the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything

all the love gone bad turned my world to black
tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky
but why.. why.. why can't it be.. why can't it be mine

everlong- foo fighters

hello
I've waited here for you
everlong
tonight I throw myself into
and out of the red
out of her head she sang

come down
and waste away with me
down with me
slow how
you wanted it to be
I'm over my head
out of her head she sang

and I wonder
when I sing along with you
if everything could ever feel this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I'll ever ask of you
you've got to promise not to stop when I say when

breathe out so I can breathe you in
hold you in
and now I know you've always been
out of your head
out of my head I sang

Samiam - Mexico

You wanna be some place warm,
Probably Mexico,
Even though it's really not that cold.
You been planning a girl-girl trip in a motor home.
You wanna see how it feels to leave.

You wanted to see just how good it feels to leave,
Never mind the mess you left behind.
You wanted to see just how good it feels to leave,
To leave everything behind.

A chance to breathe,
A little time of your own,
It don't really matter where you’re going.
I’ll buy you some magazines,
You can call me from the roadside phone,
Let me know when you're coming home.

You know where to find me.
Whenever you decide.
And you know that I’ll be here when you get home...
Do you know if I’ll be here?

You wanted to see just how good it feels to leave,
Never mind the mess you left behind.
You wanted to see just how good it feels to leave.

Honestly - Run

I'm falling to a place of recognition
You retreat to avoid the pain
I'm breaking free from my condition
You just sit and wait for change
I won't react if you say there's nothing left to save
You're lying when you tell me everything's gonna be okay

Are you desperate for anything?

Run as far and as fast as I know you can
You lost your faith
That's all you had
Leave behind everything you pretend to be
Just let it go
Or you'll never be free

There's nothing left
Only isolation
You're drowning in apathy
Can you even see a simple revelation
And if it hurt would you feel the sting

You're not desperate for anything

Run as far and as fast as I know you can
You lost your faith
That's all you had
Leave behind everything you pretend to be
Just let it go
Or you'll never be free

Free...

You gotta know I've been there before
(Where you are)
You can't live like this anymore
(Run as far)

Are you desperate for anything?

Run as far and as fast as I know you can
You lost your faith
That's all you had
Leave behind everything you pretend to be
Just let it go
Or you'll never be free

Free...
Free...
Free...

Will you ever be?
Oh, will you ever be free?
Will you ever be?
Will you ever be free?

not about love- fiona apple

the early cars
already are
drawing deep breaths past my door
and last night's phrases
sick with lack of basis
are still writhing on my floor

and it doesn't seem fair
that your wicked words should work
in holding me down
no, it doesn't seem right
to take information
given at close range
for the gag
and the bind
and the ammunition round

conversation once colored by esteem
became dialogue as a diagram of a play for blood
took a vacation, my palate got clean
now i could taste your agenda
while you're spitting your cud

and it doesn't make sense
i should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown
no, it doesn't seem right
to take information
given at close range
for the gag
and the bind
and the ammunition round

this is not about love
'cause i am not in love
in fact i can't stop falling out

this is not about love
'cause i am not in love
in fact i can't stop falling out
i miss that stupid ache...

what is this posture
i have to stare at
that's what he said when i'm sittin' up straight
change the name of the game 'cause he lost
and he knew he was wrong but he knew it too late
but i'm not being fair
'cause i chose to listen to that filthy mouth
but i'd like to choose right
take all the things that i've said that he stole
put 'em in a sack
swing 'em over my shoulder
turn on my heels
step out of this sight
try to live in a lovelier light

this is not about love
'cause i am not in love
in fact i cant stop falling out

this is not about love
'cause i am not in love
in fact i cant stop falling out
i miss that stupid ache....

staple it together- jack johnson

it's really too bad
he became a prisoner of his own past
he stabbed the moment in the back
with the round thumbtack
that held up the list of things he gotta do
its really no good
he's moving on before he understood
he shot the future in the foot with every step he took
from the places that he's been cause he forgot to look

better staple it together and call it bad weather
staple it together and call it bad weather X3
mm hmm.....

well I guess you could say
that he dont even know where to begin
'cause he looked both ways but he was so afraid
digging deep into the ditch
with every chance he missed
and the mess he made
'cause hate is such a strong word
and every brick he laid
a mistake they say
that his walls are getting taller
his world is getting smaller

better staple it together and call it bad weather
staple it together and call it bad weather X3
mm hmm...

it's really
too bad
he became a prisoner of his own past
he stabbed a moment in the back
with the round thumbtack
that held up the list of things he gotta do
it's really no good
he's moving on before he understood
he shot the future in the foot with every step he took
from the places that he's been cause he forgot to look

better staple it together and call it bad weather
staple it together and call it bad weather X3

if the weather is better
we should get together
spend a little time and we can do whatever
and if we get together we'll be twice as clever
so, staple it together and call it bad weather, mm hmmm

Gym Class Heroes - Faces in the Hall

I knew this kid named Alberto
Funny style cat
And his girl looked like a turtle
Not Lisa Turtle, just a turtle
High school track
He ran the hurdle
His peers shed tears senior year when he got murdered

Now Alberto was your average A student
Participated in class,
Never came late
And never truant
His family was picture perfect
His older sister was prom queen
His dad a decorated vet from the Vietnam team
His mother was Dear Abby,
An ordinary house wife
Like clockwork, always had dinner on the table at 5
But Alberto had a monster he kept under his bed
Instead of letting it out,
He just got a girlfriend instead
She knew something was funny
Shecould tell by his behavior
Or the way he flamboyantly shook his hand
When he would wave to her
She thought nothing of it
And just shoved it in the closet
Until the day that word dripped out like leaky faucet
Alberto was homosexual
I ain't have nothing against it
But little Ronnie Johnson and all his football player friends did
They'd always pick and nag
Call him "fag" and such and such
And couldn't wait to get to gym so they could really bust his nuts
The gym teacher never cared
He'd just join in on the action
He'd make silly gestures
And compared him to Micheal Jackson
Alberto couldn't take it
He'd just stop showing up and whenever he walked them halls
He just felt like throwin' up
And night he would cry and cry and ask "God why?"
Like "God, why the fuck'd I have to be born this way?"
God would reply, "Son, you've gotta show 'em you're more than gay"
Cause he had dreams to be a track star
Until that warm April night
Them gay jokes went way too far
Ronnie begged for his forgiveness
And invited him to a party
Cause his parents went away
And left him plenty of Bacardi
Alberto kindly accepted
He was finally accepted
Except it was all deception
And left them all unprotected
It was a plan Ronnie had scammed
To get him in the right place
Verbally degrade and rearrange his pretty face
The plan would go swiftly
They started calling him sissy
One punch turned into fifty
They beat him till he was dizzy
Now Alberto lie in blood
While his peers look on in fear
He took his last breath
And passed away his senior year

Needless to say
It was one big tragedy
And how was Ronnie gonna explain to his family,
While they were on vacation taking in sights
He got wasted and killed a kid that night

Don't be a slave and behave the way they do,
Just utilize the gifts that God gave you

I knew this girl named Maria
Bright and talented
With aspirations to be a
Big superstar
What a great idea
Until she fell off and started to listening to her peers
Oh dear!
Now Maria was your typical obnoxious
Analytical head strong rebel
Flippin' off the principal
Single mother home structure
She looked after baby brother
While mom worked two jobs
Just to buy supper
Pops was a struggling musician
Troubled man,
Juggling family and heroin addiction
He overdosed and left a notice of eviction
And a crate of records on the table in the kitchen
And a little angel with a keen sense of sound
Who saw silence in the records she found
And she would stay up late at night
Reciting songs to herself
Under pale moonlight
Righting wrongs that her pops made,
Promised her mom she'd never go that same route
Turns out
Carrie Anne had other plans
Her and her man Ronnie most popular,
Second best to nobody
Homecoming queen versus ugly duckling
And the story ends the same way
Ok, Ronnie's parents went away for a couple of days
And told him "No Drinking"
What the fuck were they thinking?
Maria was oblivious that her boyfriend had already been invited
So when Carrie Anne asked
She got all excited
Like "damn now I got something to look forward to"
Or so she thought
Maria kindly accepted,
Except it was all bullshit
Not pay attention,
Carrie Anne hated Maria cause she could sing
So she scored a bag of heroin
But the craziest thing was
Maria never touched drugs, she did that night
And when her man was getting beat
She was nowhere in sight
Now her boyfriend lie in blood
And she had no idea
Alberto passed away and she got hooked her senior year

Needless to say
It was one one big tragedy
And I hate to break it but
It doesn't end happily
A warm day in May,
The sky was so beautiful
Carrie Anne died in a crash leaving the funeral

Anberlin - Alexithymia

Don't try to wake me up
Even if the sun really does come out tomorrow
Don't believe anything you say anymore
In the morn, in the morning
Bricks to this old house are breaking
Steel would have weathered
But now forlorning
It's alarming how loud the silence screams
No warn, no warn, no warning
Addictions fill the table where the family used to sit
And conversate to the sounds
To the sounds of a record player
With it's jumping needle
And the lights that grow dim over time

With downcast eyes
There's more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There's more to living than being alive
Woah

Are you where you thought you'd be
So beautiful and only twenty-three
Opposition rests in the hearts
With no, with no, with no opportunity
It's not that we don't talk
I'ts just no one really listens
And honesty fades
Like a politician lost in the course
All smiles and no one remembers our names

With downcast eyes
There's more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There's more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There's more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There's more to living than being alive

Don't try to wake me up
Even if the sun really does come out tomorrow
Don't believe anything I say anymore
In the morn, in the morning

With downcast eyes
There's more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There's more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There's more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There's more to living than being alive

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Dismemberment Plan - Sentimental Man

There is no heaven and there's no hell
No limbo in between, I think it's all a lie
Just a white light out to velvet black
and back to neutral gray, that's all when we die

There is no fate that divides our day
no spirits hard at work, no unseen hand at play
people talk like it's a given thing I dunno what they mean nor, I suspect, do they
I guess that's OK

But how do you know I'm not a sentimental man?
is it really so hard to see these things? I guess it is
I really don't know why, I think it's right there
nobody's perfect, but I'm doing what I can
and you best believe I'll keep it real

I'm an old testament type of guy I like my coffee black, and my parole denied yeah
even as I flake on every deal
I ever made with myself before the ink could dry
I should keep that one inside...

How do you know I'm not a sentimental man?
is it really so hard to see these things? I guess it is
I couldn't tell you why, I think it's plain to see
certain disaster, and I really couldn't say how the fuck I let this get that far

How do you know I'm not your biggest fan?
Can you really make this case so clear?
I think you can't I don't know why you try, I think it's all a game
I'm under the covers and I'm telling you goodnight
'cos I plan to have some real fine dreams

Spoken - Promise

Yet another day seems like it's wasted
You don’t feel your any closer to the prize
A dead end job where there's no future
Praying that tomorrow, things won't be this way
Things will get better, this I promise you, and I know
That you won’t feel this way forever
Things will get better, this I promise you
And I know Loneliness won't last forever
Yet another day, another tired morning
You're catching up to your intentions
You're thinking, life has to be easier than this,
maybe tomorrow things won't be this way
Loneliness won't last forever
I promise, with all that's in me,
to leave this emptiness behind

umphrey's mcgee- nemo

No assumption should be worth listing
They belong with someone else
Set in motion what you're still missing
There will always be a need

You were always somewhere above me
Can't there be a way around this

When it's there you know you oughta be the one to ride it through
And it's easy to stop before you start

There's only one more way to think about what everything could
have been if it wasn't left unsaid
And every time we seem aware of all that matters there will
always be a memory you forget

Be demanding when no one's listening
You will always find an ear
Set in motion what you're still missing
There will always be a need
There has got to be a reason
Who's to say what privileged means then

When it's there you know you oughta be the one to ride it through
And it's easy to stop before you start
When it's there you know you oughta be the one to ride it through
And it's easy to stop before you start

The more I realize the things I've seen through these eyes
There's only so much more that you could show
As many times as we've been there and back again no I don't
care if I'll be no one in the end
As many times as we've been there and back again no I don't
care if I'll be no one in the end

Finch - What It Is To Burn

I feel diseased.
Is there no sympathy
from the sun?
The sky is still fire,
but I am safe in here
from the world outside.
So tell me,
what's the price to pay for glory?

jonezetta - imagination

Could it be I'm stuck in a world repetition?
With people pretending they're so in love
Could it be I found a way out of this one?

Cause all I ever do is sleep
Come take me now
Ah you make me want to

Use my imagination

Could it be I'm here but I was never breathing?
I was running circles around my head
Could it be my lungs won't take what they're given?
Cause all I ever do is sleep
Come take me now
Ah you make me want to

Use my imagination
All I want to do is believe I've got you
Even if it's never going to be enough to
All I want to do is believe I've got you now

Cause all I ever do is sleep here
And use my imagination
We can imagine!

Joseph Arthur - Honey and the Moon

Don't know why I'm still afraid
If you weren't real I would make you up
now
I wish that I could follow through
I know that your love is true
And deep
As the sea
But right now
Everything you want is wrong,
And right now
All your dreams are waking up,
And right now
I wish I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom,
Where no one lives.

Remember when we first met
And everything was still a bet
In love's game
You would call; I'd call you back
And then I'd leave
A message
On your answering machine

But right now
Everything is turning blue,
And right now
The sun is trying to kill the moon,
And right now
I wish I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom,
Where no one lives

Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom, freedom
Run away
Run away tonight

We're made out of blood and rust
Looking for someone to trust
Without
A fight
I think that you came too soon
You're the honey and the moon
That lights
Up my night

But right now
Everything you want is wrong,
And right now
All your dreams are waking up,
And right now
I wish that I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom
Where no one lives

Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom freedom
Run away
Run away tonight

We got too much time to kill
Like pigeons on my windowsill
We hang around

Ever since I've been with you
You hold me up
All the time I've falling down

But right now
Everything is turning blue,
And right now
The sun is trying to kill the moon,
And right now
I wish I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom
Where no one lives

Minus the Bear - Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse

hey, let's cross the sea
and get some culture
red wine with every meal
and absinthe after dinner
we look good side by side
walking back to the hotel

we've got to get something
to eat and to drink, yeah
and find a place to stay
that's not far off the main way-
we've got to plan our day:
rodan and the orsay
and find a way to cram it all in
before drink hard again

let's get a bottle and drink alone tonight
let's get a bottle and drink alone tonight

this light looks good on you
morning came early
sitting on a park bench
that's older than my country

two star hotel, hotel
two star hotel, hotel
two star hotel
near st. germain
two star hotel
where the stars don't mean
stars don't mean anything

we got to get something
to eat and to drink, yeah
we found a place to stay
its not far off the main way

let's get a bottle

we got to get something
to eat and to drink, yeah
we found a place to stay
that's not far off the main way
we've got to plan our day
rodin and the orsay
and find a way to cram it all in
before we drink hard again

let's get a bottle and drink alone tonight
let's get a bottle and drink alone tonight

-- I always picture me and a special someone traveling to France and enjoying life like this song

Relient K - Come Right Out And Say It

I better rest my eyes, 'cause I'm growing weary of this point you've been trying to make
So rather than imply, why don't you just verbalize all the things that you're trying to say?

Thought this would turn out so well
But I'm beginning to see that instead, it's trouble
Into a pattern we fell, of prolonging the inevitable

Why don't you come right out and say it?
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt,
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you come right out and say it? (Come right out and say it)
What it is you're thinking, though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear

I better check my pride, because I was starting to think that I was onto something good
But things started to slide and I sit here in retrospect, understanding that I misunderstood

Thought I could make up your mind
You had a decision locked up so tight, it couldn't be touched
Thought you were being so kind
By keeping your mouth sealed shut, rather than just opening it up

Why don't you come right out and say it?
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt,
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you come right out and say it? (Come right out and say it)
What it is you're thinking, though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear

And I'll try to guess what goes on in your head
'Cause in your mind, I just might find all those things you left unsaid
And I'll try to make you not regret anything
But later on, after I'm gone, you'll wish that you had listened to me
Had listened to me

Why don't you come right out and say it?
Even if the words are gonna hurt, we're better off this way
Why don't you come right out and say, come right out and say
What I know you're thinking anyway

Why don't you come right out and say it?
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt,
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you come right out and say it? (Come right out and say it)
What it is you're thinking, oh, what is it you're thinking?

Why don't you?
What if is you're thinking, though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear

just this....

'you fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun'

so many levels yet so simple. love it

anberlin.

of course my plan was to start by posting lyrics by anberlin... but i just couldnt choose which song. they all move me in such different ways. i suppose because each one holds such personal meaning to me. so, instead of posting lyrics to one song i will post a snippet from an interview with stephen christian, lead vocals and songwriter for this beautiful band called anberlin.

"i would like to be respected as a rock musician and not an indie rock,"christian", emo, or any other labeled genre. i just want to be the soundtrack for someones life. from good to bad, from romance to loss of a love one, i want anberlin in the background."

i can very honestly assure you, his wish has come true.

listen to anberlin @ purevolume or myspace

sing.

i created this space for all of us who hang on every word. who sing along. who let lyrics dance inside our heads, penetrate our souls and live in our hearts. for all of us who have ever lacked words and found them in a song. for all of us who not only hear, but listen. for all of us...

please feel free to post lyrics, or write your own lyrics, or request lyrics... whether song, line or verse... share what moves you; both physically & emotionally.

sing.
