Diamonds On The Inside -- Ben Harper

I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar
She couldn't spend one day alone
But she couldn't be satisfied
When you have everything
You have everything to lose
She made herself a bed of nails
And she's planning on putting it to use
But she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
A candle throws it's light into the darkness
In a nasty world so shines a good deed
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Is the fortune that you need
So tell me why the first to ask
Is the last to give every time
What you say and do not mean
Follows you close behind
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
Diamonds
Like the soldier long standing under fire
Any change comes as a relief
Let the giver's name remain unspoken
She is just a generous theif
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds

The Artist In The Ambulance -- Thrice

Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
And I open bloodshot eyes into flourescent white
They flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone
Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger
And I realize that empty words are not enough
I'm left here with the question of just
What have I to show except the promises I never kept?
I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets
I hope that I will never let you down
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of always talking when there's no change
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the
Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
They've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance
I hope that I will never let you down
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound
Can we pick you off the ground
More than flashing lights and sound

Fever Dream -- Iron & Wine

Somedays her shape in the doorway
Will speak to me
A bird's wing on the window
Sometimes I'll hear when she's sleeping
Her fever dream
A language on her face
"I want your flowers
Like babies want God's love
Or maybe as sure as tomorrow will come."
Somedays like rain on the doorstep
She'll cover me
With grace in all she offers
Sometimes I'd like just to ask her
What honest words
She can't afford to say, like
"I want your flowers
Like babies what God's love
Or maybe as sure as tomorrow will come."

Hands -- Jewel

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all ok
And not to worry cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours
They are my own
But they're not yours
They are my own
And I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after
We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours
They are my own
But they're not yours
They are my own
I am never broken
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees
And I will pray
I will get down on my knees
And I will pray
I will get down on my knees
And I will pray
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours
They are my own
But they're not yours
They are my own
And I am never broken
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours
They are my own
But they're not yours
They are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's hands

I Will Follow You Into The Dark -- Death Cab For Cutie

Love of mine
Some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light
Or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school
As vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised
By a lady in black
And I held my tongue
As she told me
"Son, fear is the heart of love."
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me
Have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Kiss Me In The Dark -- Randy Rogers Band

Sailors sail, cowboys ride
Lovers love when they get the chance
Take it slow
Turn down the light
Soft and low
Let the shadows dance
Baby, don't hold back
Kiss me in the dark
Roll me through the night
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Hit me with your heart
'Til the morning light
Let your skin talk to my soul
Kiss me in the dark
Strip away everything
Tonight there's nothing getting in our way
The ties that bind
The where's and why's
Take em off and leave em all outside
Lock it all outside
Kiss me in the dark
Roll me through the night
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Hit me with your heart
'Til the morning light
Let your skin talk to my soul
Kiss me in the dark
With a single word
Baby, we can say so much
Reveal everything
With just one touch
Kiss me in the dark
Roll me through the night
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Hit me with your heart
'Til the morning light
Let your skin talk to my soul
Kiss me in the dark
Kiss me in the dark
Yeah

Always Love -- Nada Surf

To make a mountain of
Your life is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that said
Always love
Hate will get you everytime
Always love
Don't wait till the finish line
Slow demands come round
Squeeze the air and keep the rest out
It helps to write it down
Even if you then cross it out
But always love
Hate will get you everytime
Always love
Don't wait till the finish line
Self directed lies
I want to know what it'd be like
To aim so high above
Every card that has been dealt you
Always love
Hate will get you everytime
Always love
Hate will get you
I've been held back by something
Yeah
You said to me quietly on the stairs
I've been held back by something
Yeah
You said to me quietly on the stairs
You said
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones
To make a mountain of
Your life is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to my voice when it said
Always love
Hate will get you everytime
Always love
Hate will get you
I've been held back by something
Yeah
You said to me quietly on the stairs
I've been held back by something
Yeah
You said to me quietly on the stairs
You said
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones
I...

Tears And Rain -- James Blunt

How I wish I could surrender my soul
Shed the clothes that become my skin
See the liar that burns within my needing
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold
How I wish I had screamed out loud
Instead I've found no meaning
I guess it's time I run far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape
Like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble
It's more than just words
It's just tears and rain
How I wish I could walk
Through the doors of my mind
Hold memory close at hand
Help me understand the years
How I wish I could choose
Between Heaven and Hell
How I wish I would save my soul
I'm so cold from fear
I guess it's time I run far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape
Like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble
Far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words
It's just tears and rain
Tears and rain
Tears and rain
Far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words
It's just tears and rain

More Than A Love Song -- Augustana

What can I say? I miss your eyes
Nothing more
What can a love song provide
Nothing more
Words are a lovely try
For something more
And I wanna give to you
Give to you...
More than a love song can give
More than a feeling like this
More than a dim light upon the path you walk
More than the words can explain
More than the falling rain
More than the sun shines upon your lovely face
It's more than a love song
And I found a way to come to me
And show me where
Show me where right used to be
And put me there
Well, this is enough to see
Something more
And I wanna give to you
Give to you...
More than a love song can give
More than a feeling like this
More than a dim light upon the path you walk
More than the words can explain
More than the falling rain
More than the sun shines upon your lovely face
And I look upon your face
And it's beauty to me
And I look upon and it's beauty to me
And it's beauty to me
And it's beauty to me
To me, to me
To me, to me
Yeah...
More than a love song can give
More than a feeling like this
More than a dim light upon the path you walk
More than the words can explain
More than the falling rain
More than the sun shines upon your lovely face
It's more than a love song
It's more than a love song
It's more than a love...

Secret Smile -- Semisonic

Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I'm losing, I'm bluesing
But you can save me from madness
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So save me I'm waiting
I'm needing, hear me pleading
And soothe me, improve me

When you are flying around and around the world
And I'm lying alonely
I know there's something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I'm losing, I'm bluesing
But you can save me from madness, now, now
When you are flying around and around the world
And I'm lying alonely
I know there's something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
Nobody knows it
Nobody knows it
Nobody knows it
But you've got a secret

But you've got a secret

9 Crimes -- Damien Rice

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I'd do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I'd do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
But she's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse
Is that alright?
Give me gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright, yeah
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
No...

Saying Sorry -- Hawthorne Heights

These colors will not change
You change the way I see them
These words will fade
When you explain
Why you hate them
We are the same
She keeps repeating
All that she needed
She says she's right here
She seems so distant
Saying goodbye this time
The same old story
Seeing you cry
Makes me feel like saying sorry
Just a few last hours
We gotta make this count
We're counting backwards
Just a few last hours
We gotta make this count
We're falling forwards
She keeps repeating
All that she needed
She says she's right here
She seems so distant
Saying goodbye this time
The same old story
Seeing you cry
Makes me feel like saying sorry
Saying goodbye this time
The same old story
Seeing you cry
Makes me feel like saying sorry
Saying sorry we're falling apart
Wish we knew this from the start
Saying goodbye's the hardest part
Wish we knew this from the start
Saying goodbye this time
The same old story
Seeing you cry
Makes me feel like saying sorry
Saying goodbye this time
The same old story
Seeing you cry
Makes me feel like saying sorry
Saying goodbye this time, this time
Seeing you cry
Makes me feel like saying sorry

Save Yourself -- Stabbing Westard

I know your life is empty
And you hate to face this world alone
So you're searching for an angel
Someone who can make you whole
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
So just save yourself
I know that you've been damaged
Your soul has suffered such abuse
But I am not your savior
I am just as fucked as you
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
So just save yourself
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
My life has been a nightmare
My soul is fractured to the bone
And if I must by lonely
I think I'd rather be alone
I think I'd rather be alone
You cannot save me
You can't even save yourself
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
Save yourself
So just save yourself

Better With You -- Five Times August

So maybe I've got a lot to learn
Or maybe I'm just hanging on my words
Or maybe it's not a big concern
But if I raise my head would I understand why I'm
Better with you
