You Picked Me -- A Fine Frenzy

One, two, three
Counting out the signs we see
The tall buildings
Fading in the distance
Only dots on a map
Four, five, six
The two of us a perfect fit
You're all mine, all mine
And all I can say
Is you blow me away
Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me
So softly
Rain against the windows
And the strong coffee
Warming up my fingers
In this fisherman's house
You got me
Searched the sand
And climbed the tree
And brought me back down
And all I can say
Is you blow me away
Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me
Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell on a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me

Teardrops On My Guitar -- Taylor Swift

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keeping, don't know why I do
Drew walks by me, can't he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see

Picture to Burn -- Taylor Swift

State the obvious
I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine; I'll tell mine you're gay
And by the way
I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn
There's no time for tears
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be
Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn
And if you're missing me
You'd better keep it to yourself
Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health
Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven't heard
I really really hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn
Burn, burn, burn baby burn
You're just another picture to burn
Baby burn

Our Song -- Taylor Swift

I was riding shot gun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
Then other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says, "Baby, is something wrong?"
I say, "Nothing. I was just thinking how we don't have a song."
And he says
Our song is the slamming screen door
Sneaking out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "Man, I didn't kiss her and I should have"
And when I got home, before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day
Had gone all wrong and been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my loving bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said
Our song is the slamming screen door
Sneaking out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have."
And when I got home, before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song
Cause our song is the slamming screen door
Sneaking out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
Cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date, "Man I didn't kiss her and I should have."
And when I got home, before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
Play it again oh yeah
I was riding shot gun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song

Mary's Song (Oh My My My) - Taylor Swift

She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I...
Oh my my my my
I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined, like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
Two AM riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside till the morning light
Oh my my my my
A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knew
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
You said I do and I did too
Take me home where we met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I
I'll be eighty-seven, you'll be eighty-nine
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine
In the sky, oh my my my

Cold As You -- Taylor Swift

You have a way of coming easily to me
And when you take, you take the very best of me
So I start a fight cause I need to feel something
And you do what you want cause I'm not what you wanted
Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Just walk away, ain't no use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you
You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray
And I stood there loving you and wished them all away
And you come away with a great little story
Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you
Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
So just walk away, ain't no use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you
You never did give a damn thing honey but I cried, cried for you
and I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you
Died for you
Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Every smile you fake is so condescending
Counting all the scars you made
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

Almost Lover -- A Fine Frenzy

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never forget these images, no
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

A Place In This World -- Taylor Swift

I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
Oh I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world
Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Could you tell me what more do I need
And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah
But that's ok
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
Oh I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
But I'm ready to fly
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
Oh I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world
Oh I'm alone
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
Oh I'm just a girl
Trying to find a place in this world
Oh I'm just a girl
Oh I'm just a girl
Oh oh
Oh I'm just a girl

One Sweet Love -- Sara Bareilles

Just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of my mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
A nameless face to think I see
To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is made out of
My own devices...
Could I be wrong?
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love
Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
You take my reason not to care
No ordinary wings I'll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that i can do I'll open up
The moon for you
Just come down soon
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love
Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on
The southern rain
As I do, I don't look, don't touch, don't do anything
But hope that there is a you
The earth that is the space between
I'd banish it from under me
To get to you
Your unexpected love provides my solitaries
Suicide... oh, I wish I knew
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love
One sweet love

First Time -- Lifehouse

We're both looking for something
We've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken
It's easier to hide
Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life, I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance, letting you inside
I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky, under my skin
Like being in love, she says, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time
That world that I see inside you
Waiting to come to life
Waking me up to dreaming
Reality in your eyes
Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life, I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance letting you inside
I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky, under my skin
Like being in love, she says, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time
We're crashing
Into the unknown
We're lost in this
But is feels like home
I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the scar that's under my skin
Like being in love, she says, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love, she says, for the first time
Like being in love to feel for the first time
Like being in love, she says for the first time
Like being in love to feel for the first time

4AM Forever -- LostProphets

Yesterday I lost my closest friend
Yesterday I wanted time to end
I wonder if my heart will ever mend
I just let you slip away
4AM forever
Maybe I'll never see you smile again
Maybe you thought that it was all pretend
All these words that I could never say
I just let them slip away
4AM forever
Why don't you hear me when I'm calling out to you (to you)
Why don't you listen when I try to make it through (to you)
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, you never know
Hold a little tighter
4AM forever
Maybe one day when I can move along
Maybe someday when you can hear this song
You won't let it slip away
4AM forever
And I'd wish the sun would never come
It's 4AM and you are gone
I hope you know you're letting go
It's 4AM and I'm alone
Why don't you hear me when I'm calling out to you (to you)
Why don't you listen when I try to make it through (to you)
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, you never know
Hold a little tighter
Why don't you hear me when I'm calling out to you (to you)
Why don't you listen when I try to make it through (to you)
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, you never know
Hold a little tighter
4AM forever

Should've Said No -- Taylor Swift

It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles, the flowers, everything is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
You should've said no
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've known that word
'Bout what you did with her
Get back to me
And I should've been there
In the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no
Baby, and you might still have me
You can see that I've been crying
And baby you know all the right things to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same
You say that the past is the past
You need one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
You should've said no
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've known that word
'Bout what you did with her
Get back to me
And I should've been there
In the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no
Baby, and you might still have me
Ohhhh
I can't resist
Before you go
Tell me this
Was it worth it
Was she worth this
No, no no no
You should've said no
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've known that word
'Bout what you did with her
Get back to me
And I should've been there
In the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no
Baby, and you might still have me

I Won't Cry -- Caleigh Peters

You got up and left again
Wouldn't listen now wouldn't listen then
When I'm gone you realize
Should've thought before you told your lies
You still think it's all ok
But you're too hard for me to take
And now I'm slipping away
I won't cry when you leave me here all alone
I won't cry cause I'm better off on my own
You might think I'll be waitin' here drowning in a sea of tears
I won't cry
Say goodbye
You'll be back at my door
Just like you've always done before
Say you're sorry every time
But this is where I draw the line
Nothing that you say is true
Don't want you back cause I'm over you
Now I'm slipping away
I won't cry when you leave me here all alone
I won't cry cause I'm better off on my own
You might think I'll be waitin' here drowning in a sea of tears
I won't cry
Say goodbye
If you think I'll let you in
Boy, you better think again
Can't you see
I'm already gone
Cry ie ie ie ie ie ie
Cry ie ie ie ie ie ie
I won't cry when you leave me here all alone
I won't cry cause I'm better off on my own
You might think I'll be waitin' here drowning in a sea tears
I won't cry
I won't cry when you leave me here all alone
I won't cry cause I'm better off on my own
You might think I'll be waitin' here drowning in a sea of tears
I won't cry
Say goodbye
I won't cry
Say goodbye

Tattoo -- Jordin Sparks

Oh, oh, oh
No matter what you say about love
I keep coming back for more
Keep my hand in the fire
Sooner or later
I'll get what I'm asking for
No matter what you say about life
I learn every time I bleed
That truth is a stranger
Soul is in danger
I gotta let me spirit be free
To admit that I'm wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry, but I have to move on
And leave you behind
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize, nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back at a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo, I'll always have you
I'll always have you, I'll always have you
I'm sick of playing all of these games
It's not about taking sides
When I looked in the mirror, didn't deliver
It hurt enough to think that I could
Stop, admit that I'm wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry, but I gotta be strong
And leave you behind
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize, nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back at a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo, I'll always have you
I'll always have you
If I live every moment
Won't change any moment
Still a part of me and you
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize, nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back at a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize, nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back at a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you

Without You -- Matt Ryczek

It's been so long
Since I've seen you
And I miss your smile
And I miss your face
Cause you haven't been around my place
It's been so long
Since I've seen you
And I miss the smell of your skin and you hair
And the way you genuinely care for me
And I don't want these feelings to change
I want our love to always remain
Because without you I wouldn't be the same
Without you
And I can't explain how I feel inside
Every time I try to tell you
My words always fall short
Of showing you what you mean to me, yeah
And I can't explain how I feel inside
The way you mesmerize me
And how you hypnotize me
With your eyes, with your eyes
And I don't want these feelings to change
I want our love to always remain
Because without you I wouldn't be the same
So don't ever run away
Here beside me is where you will stay
Cause without you I could not remain
Without you

Into The Night - Santana & Chad Kroeger

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
There were drums in the air, as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands
And we sang
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And the voices rang like the angels sing
We're singing
Ah oh ay oh ay oh ay
And we danced on into the night
Ay oh ay oh
Ay oh ay oh
And we danced on into the night
Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place
You could tell how we felt from the look on our face
She was spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes
The room left them moving between you and I
We forgot where we were and we lost track of time
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night
And we sang
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And the voices rang like the angels sing
We're singing
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And we danced on into the night
Ay oh ay oh
Ay oh ay oh
And we danced on into the night
Ay oh ay oh
Ay oh ay oh
And we danced on into the night
Like a gift from the heavens it was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands
And we sang
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And the voices rang like the angels sing
We're singing
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And we danced on into the night
Ay oh ay oh
Ay oh ay oh
And we danced on into the night
And the voices rang like the angels sing
Ay oh ay oh
Ay oh ay oh
And we danced on into the night
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
Ay oh ay oh
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
Ay oh ay oh
Singing ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
Ay oh ay oh
And we danced on into the night

Love Him -- Language Room

When you kiss him
Kiss him with passion
Kiss him with everything you have
When you touch him
Let him inside you
Let him remind you you're alive
Or all my tears are in vain
And all my prayers
When you hold him
Hold him so close
That every heart beat moves your soul
And if you love him
Love him forever
Love him the way you said you would with me
Or all my tears are in vain
And all my prayers are the same
All my tears are in vain
All my prayers are the same
All my tears are in vain

The Lighthouse's Tale -- Nickel Creek

I am a lighthouse
Worn by the weather and the waves
I keep my lamp lit
To warn the sailors on their way
I'll tell a story
Paint you a picture from my past
I was so happy
But joy in this life seldom lasts
I had a keeper
He helped me warn the ships at sea
We had grown closer
'Til his joy meant everything to me
And he was to marry
A girl who shone with beauty and light
And they loved each other
And with me watched the sun set into night
And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been
And what can never be
She had to leave us
My keeper he prayed for a safe return
But when the night came
The weather to a raging storm had turned
He watched her ship fight
But in vain against the wild and terrible wave
In me so helpless
As dashed against the rock she met her end
And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been
And what can never be
Then on the next day
My keeper found her washed up on the shore
He kissed her cold face
That they'd be together soon he'd swore
I saw him crying
Watched as he buried her in the sand
And then he climbed my tower
And off of the edge of me he ran
And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been
And what can never be
I am a lighthouse
Worn by the weather and the waves
And though I am empty
I still warn the sailors on their way

Human -- Jon McLaughlin

Can you tell me how we got in this situation
I can't seem to get you off my mind
All these ups and downs
They trip up our good intentions
Nobody said this was an easy ride
After all, we're only human
Always fighting what we're feeling
Hurt instead of healing
After all, we're only human
Is there any other reason why we stay instead of leavin' after all
Can we get back to the point of this conversation
When we saw things through each other's eyes
Cause now all I see is ruin and devastation
We all need some place we can hide inside and
After all, we're only human
Always fighting what we're feeling
Hurt instead of healing
After all, we're only human
Is there any other reason why we stay instead of leavin'
I'm smart enough to know
That life goes by
And it leaves a trail of broken bones behind
If you feel I'm letting go
Just give me time
I'll come running to your side
Can you tell me how we got in this situation
I can't seem to get you off my mind cause
After all, we're only human
Always fighting what we're feeling
Hurt instead of healing
After all we're only human
Is there any other reason why we stay instead of leavin'
After all we're only human
Always fighting what we're feeling
Hurt instead of healing
After all we're only human
Is there any other reason why we stay instead of leavin' after all
Any other reason
To stay instead of leavin'
After all, yeah

Beautiful Disaster -- Jon McLaughlin

She loves her mama's lemonade
Hates the sound that goodbyes make
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her
She swears that there's no difference
Between the lies and complements
It's all the same if everybody leaves her
And every magazine tells her she's not good enough
The pictures that she sees make her cry
And she would change everything, everything just ask her
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
And she just needs someone to take her home
She's giving boys what they want
Tries to act so nonchalant
Afraid they'll see that she's lost her direction
She never stays the same for long
Assuming that she'll get it wrong
Perfect only in her imperfection
She's not a drama queen
She doesn't want to feel this way
Only seventeen but tired
She would change everything for happy ever after
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
But she just needs someone to take her home
Cause she's just the way she is
But no one's told her that's ok
And she would change everything, everything just ask her
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
And she would change everything for happy ever after
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
But she just needs someone to take her home
And she just needs someone to take her home

Potential Breakup Song -- Aly & AJ

It took too long
It took too long
It took too long for you to call back
And normally I would just forget that
Except for the fact that it was my birthday
My stupid birthday
I played along
I played along
I played along, rolled right off my back
But obviously my armor was cracked
What kind of boyfriend would forget that?
Who would forget that?
The type of guy who doesn't see
What he has until she leaves
Don't let me go
Cause without me you know you're lost
Wise up now or pay the cost
Soon you will know
You're not livin' 'til you're livin'
Livin' with me
You're not winnin' 'til you're winnin'
Winnin' me
You're not gettin' 'til you're gettin'
Gettin' to me
You're not livin' 'til you're livin'
Livin' for me
This is the potential break up song
Our album needs just one
Oh baby please, please tell me
We got along
We got along
We got along untili you did that
Now all I want is just my stuff back
Do you get that?
Let me repeat that
I want my stuff back
You can send it in a box
I don't care just drop it off
I won't be home
Cause without me you know you're lost
Minus you I'm better off
Soon you will know
You're not livin' 'til you're livin'
Livin' with me
You're not winnin' 'til you're winnin'
Winnin' me
You're not gettin' 'til you're gettin'
Gettin' to me
You're not livin' 'til you're livin'
Livin' for me
You can try
You can try
You know I'd know it'd be a lie
Without me you're gonna cry
So you' d better think clearly, clearly
Before you nearly, nearly
Bust up a situation that you're gonna miss dearly, dearly
C'mon you're not livin' 'til you're livin'
Livin' with me
You're not winnin' 'til you're winnin'
Winnin' me
You're not gettin' 'til you're gettin'
Gettin' to me
You're not livin' 'til you're livin'
Livin' for me
This is the potential break up song
Our album needs just one
Oh baby please, please tell me
This is the potential break up song
Please just admit you're wrong
Which will it be?
Which will it be?

Rules -- Language Room

Beautiful crazy, what have you done?
All of your glory
And you're still better off alone
Sometimes I worry I'm not in first
And this ismore than a game I'm losing
Cause you'll breathe fire under my command
And walk on water if I said you can
And there's so much you can't rewind
Rules are who we are
And it's been said that
Life's about more than making sense
So pardon me, here I am
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Shouting from rooftops and whispers on floors
Everyone's told me but I just hear words
Cause you'll breathe fire under my command
And walk on water if I said you can
And there's so much you can't rewind
Rules are who we are
And it's been said that
Life's about more than making sense
So pardon me, here I am
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Words are written on chalkboards built to erase
It's easy writing what's harder that face to face
If rules were made to be broken
Then why did you make them
Yeah yeah
Rules are who we are
It's been said that
Life's about more than making sense
So pardon me, here I am
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Rules are who we are
It's been said that
Life's about more than making sense
So pardon me, here I am
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah

What Is Love -- Play

It's the way you're nervous when you speak
And the way I know just what you mean
It's the kind of thing that's bitter sweet
It's the funny feeling deep inside
So many different sides
But still so easy to live by
Cause you know it every time
And not just in your mind
But you can feel the butterflies
Sending chills down your spine
What is love?
But a kiss on a rainy day
A smile that won't go away
A safe place to run
What is love?
But a complicated simple truth
A bond between me and you
The number one
All that's love
And the things that never cross your mind
Now you're doin' all of the time
Cause with someone special, it's alright
It's like dancing when you walk
And singing when you talk
And you're happy just to be alive
Live in the moment, don't pretend
Let it go and take it in
You don't have to understand
The how, why, and whens
What is love?
But a kiss on a rainy day
A smile that won't go away
A safe place to run
What is love?
But a complicated simple truth
A bond between me and you
The number one
So take off your hat and stay for a minute
Love is a precious thing
If you let it in
You'll never know what you'll find
'Til you give it some time, some time
What is love?
But a kiss on a rainy day
A smile that won't go away
A safe place to run
What is love?
But a complicated simple truth
A bond between me and you
The number one
What is love?
But a kiss on a rainy day
A smile that won't go away
A safe place to run
What is love?
But a complicated simple truth
A bond between me and you
The number one
All that's love
What is love?
It's a kiss on a rainy day
All that's love

What's Good For Me -- Lucy Woodward

I ain't no queen of hearts
I go through stages
I fall in love
Then complicate it
Yeah, you know the feeling
Without much hope
Just blind ambition
Pretending that there's nothing missing
I always kept believing
That more
I thought if I had more
I wouldn't get so bored
But everything just left me empty
Love walking in and out of my door
Wasn't good enough no more
When I don't trust myself, life really sucks
And the first time, I thought it but I didn't do it
Last time, that's when I really blew it
So this time, I'm gonna do it different
Cause I know, I know, I know
If I put everything I have into it
Eventually, I'm gonna get what's good for me
I'm just trying to be creative
But everyone's so opinionated
They wanna tell me what I'm feeling
Cause one man's junk's another's treasure
When it's done it's hard to measure
I'll keep from believing
That more
If only I had more
I wouldn't get so bored
But I know it's gonna leave me empty
Life walking in and out of my door
Wasn't good enough no more
When I don't trust myself, I'm gonna get stuck
But the first time, I thought it but I didn't do it
Last time, that's when I really blew it
So this time, I'm gonna do it different
Cause I know, I know, I know
If I put everything I have into it
Eventually, I'm gonna get what's good for me
Cause I don't want to
Live my life wondering
If only
I woulda
I shoulda
I coulda
But I didn't
Cause I only blame myself yeah again
The first time, I thought it but I didn't do it
Last time, that's when I really blew it
So this time, this time, this time yeah
If I put everything I have into it
Eventually, I'm gonna get what's good for me
I didn't do it
Last time, that's when I really blew it
So this time, I'm gonna do it different
Cause I know, I know, I know
If I put everything I have into it
Eventually, I'm gonna get what's good for me
Yeah, alright
That's when I really blew it
I'm gonna do it different
Cause I know I'm gonna get what's good for me

Playing God -- Language Room

I've traced another day
And just a step away
From being what I am
Or need to be
As awful as it seems
To give up on a dream
Would always be wrong until
Holding you I know
That playing God is left to the lesser souls
Trapped in Heaven's hold
I'm free
I'm free
It's not enough to say
That every other way
I seem to be more or less alive for her
It's all been left to chance
The music and a glance will never be far away when
Holding you I know
That playing God is left to the lesser souls
Trapped in Heaven's hold
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
Holding you I know
That playing God is left to the lesser souls
Trapped it Heaven's hold
I'm free

What It's Like -- Everlast

We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He asked the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
Get a job you fuckin' slob is all he replied
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of
But three months later he said he won't dater or return her calls
And she sweared God damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked the baddest dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends
Yo, it usually depends on where you start
I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late at night
Like to get shit faced
And keep pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun fight
Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45
Talked some shit
And wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
You know it crumbles that way
At least that's what they say when you play the game
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
To have to lose

Love Song -- Sara Bareilles

Head under water
And you tell me
To breathe easy for awhile
The breathing gets harder
Even I know that
Made room for me
It's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you ask for it
Cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a long song
Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin'
I'm gonna need a better reason
To write you a love song
Today
Today
I learned the hard way
That they all say
Things you wanna hear
My heavy heart sinks deep down under
You and your twisted words
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you asked for it
Cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin'
I'm gonna need a better reason
To write you a love song today
Cause you asked for it
Cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make your breakin' this
Is that why you wanted a love song
Cause you asked for it
Cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I walk the seven seas
When I believe that there's a reason to write you a love song
Today
Today

Never Too Late -- Three Days Grace

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get back
The life we had
Won't be ours again
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it all around
Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's not too late
It's never too late

Sideways -- Citizen Cope

You know it ain't easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There's no words to describe it
In French of in English
Well, diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away
These feelings won't go away
It ain't easy
For these thoughts to leave me
There's no words to describe it
In French of in English
Well diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away
These feelings won't go away
But diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
And I'm telling you
That diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
I'm telling you
I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away

Mr. Beautiful -- Cheyenne Kimball

I look at all the pictures
And I have to wonder why
You were always laughing
And I'm about to cry
It's hard to see the mirror
When your blinded by the sun
And I can't say I'm sorry
I thought you were the one
I gotta keep leaving
If I'm gonna get over you
I gotta keep moving
I've had all that I can do
I gotta believe in
We both know the truth
Good-bye Mr. Beautiful
You're someone I never knew
I think of all the moments
When I was so alone
And you were there right next to me
When nobody was home
And I'm defined as a prisoner
Inside your selfish world
There wasn't enough room for me
And all your other girls
I gotta keep leaving
If I'm gonna get over you
I gotta keep moving
I've had all that I can do
I gotta believe in
We both know the truth
Good-bye Mr. Beautiful
You're someone I never knew
Don't tell me you love me
You don't know what love is anyway
I'm saying it's over
And I wanna do what I say
And I gave you a million chances
To make it right
Make it right
Make it right
You're never gonna get it right
So I gotta keep leaving
If I'm gonna get over you
I gotta keep moving
I've had all that I can do
I gotta believe in
We both know the truth
Good-bye Mr. Beautiful
You're someone I never knew
I gotta keep leaving
If I'm gonna get over you
I gotta keep moving
I've had all the I can do
I gotta believe in
We both know the truth
Good-bye Mr. Beautiful
You're someone I never knew

If Everyone Cared -- Nickelback

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died

Iris -- Goo Goo Dolls

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
Yeah you bleed just to know your 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 dont 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

Boston -- Augustana

In the light of the sun
Is there anyone?
Oh it has begun
Oh dear you look so lost
Eyes are red and tears are shed
This world you must've crossed
You said,
You don't know me
And you don't even car
Oh yeah
She said
You don't know me
And you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah, yeah
Essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts
Across an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones
Who cry when they see you
You said
You don't know me
And you don't even care
Oh yeah
She said
You don't know me
And you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah
She said I think I'll go to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over
Where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover
And fly them out to Spain
I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of the sunset
I hear it's nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice
Oh yeah
Boston
Where no one knows my name
Yeah
No one knows my name
No one knows my name
Yeah, Boston
No one knows my name

One Love -- Hootie & the Blowfish

Sunshine, on the horizon
Over two young lovers
While it's going down
Somwhere, the same sun rises
On another two lovers
As the world goes around
Same scene
Played over and over
Same sweet passion
Same warm blood
Softly speaking
The universal language
So many lovers
One love
One love, might make a difference
Might take the walls
And tear them down
One light, might keep on shining
If we take one love
And we spread it around
Old religions, new generations
Caught in a struggle
About a righteous way
Can't see the forest
For all the frustrations
So many lying
So many dying
But only one love
One love, might make a difference
Might take the walls
And tear them down
One light, might keep on shining
If we take one love
And we spread it around
Too many stories
Weave a common thread
Too many roads untraveled
All reach the same end
Same scene played over and over and over now
San you passion
Same red blood
Universal language
Goes unspoken
Too much hatred
Too much hatred now
But only one love
One love, might make a difference
Might take the walls
And tear them down
One light, might keep on shining
If we take one love
And we spread it around
One love, might make a difference
I know I might take the walls
Might take the walls
And tear them down
One light, might keep on shining
If we take one love
And we spread it around
Sunshine on the horizon
Over two young lovers
While it's going down

Stars And Boulevards -- Augustana

Wait dear,
A white horse is walking down my street here
Your words are creeping at my feet
I fear,
Sunrise will come too soon and you'll disappear
Into the haze of this city and go south
Look out, they're coming after us with big guns
They're only gonna tell you all the bad things I've done
Even if the words they say aren't true they've won
And now I'm left here dying in the sun
Oh, seems like I'm always on my own
Seems like I'm never coming home
Seems like I'm always on my own
All the stars and boulevards aren't close enough for you
Late nights, won't do me justice
Cause when I drink
I just get so damn depressed
And it's not like
I ain't trying to get over you
It's just hard to look at the seasons
Pass me over too
Oh, seems like I'm always on my own
Seems like I'm never coming home
Seems like I'm always on my own
All the stars and boulevards ain't close enough for you
One last phone call from you
It wouldn't hurt much
Just like to hear your voice and pretend to touch
Any inch of you that hasn't said it all or read it all or
Sung my life away and I say
Oh, seems like I'm always on my own
Seems like I'm never coming home
Seems like I'm always on my own
All the stars and boulevards ain't close enough for you
Oh, seems like I'm always on my own
Seems like I'm never coming home
Seems like I'm always on my own
All the stars and boulevards ain't close enough for you
