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
