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
