So you fake you're full and you feel tomorrow
Coming and you gotta do what you can do to get
Away with everything you want and still get what you need
Just slowing down cause you've done it before
You look at the floor and you wonder when it's gonna
Come on up over your head so you can get some rest
Some trust in love and some trust in hatred
Some trust in fear and some in violence
Some trust in faith and some trust in fortune
Some trust in God and some just get away
Swear to God I'm going to get it right
Stay down tied until I get my fill
So I take it all but it's falling through
Done it before so maybe a little bit
More will make it easier
To get on through the door
Some trust in pain and some trust in pleasure
Some trust in union some in innocence
Some trust in fear and some trust in fortune
Some trust in everyone and some just get away
Call it security
Call it your purity
Call it the words we pray
Call it the sins we say
You never wanted it this way
Some trust in God and some trust in country
Some trust in love and some in violence
Some trust in diamonds some trust in devils
Some trust in fear and some just get away
Get away
Get away
Get away

Whatever It Takes -- Lifehouse
A strangled smile fell from your face
It kills me that I hurt you this way
The worst part is that I didn't even know
Now there's a million reasons for you to go
But if you can find a reason to stay
I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
Believe that I can change
I'll keep us together whatever it takes
She said, "If we're gonna make this work
You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see."
She said, "Like it or not it's the way it's gotta be
You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me."
I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
And give me a break
I'll keep us together
I know you deserve much better
But remember the time I told you the way that I felt
That I'd be lost without you and never find myself
Let's hold onto each other above everything else
Start over, start over
I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
And believe that I can change
I'll keep us together whatever it takes
It kills me that I hurt you this way
The worst part is that I didn't even know
Now there's a million reasons for you to go
But if you can find a reason to stay

Turpentine -- Brandi Carlile
I watch you grow away from me in photographs
And memories like spies
The salt betrays my eyes again
I started losing sleep and gaining weight
And wishing I was ten again
I could be your friend again
These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's 6AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you, we're growing up
I heard you found some pretty words to say
You found a little game to play
And there's no freaks allowed in here
And just when we believe we could be great
Reality it permeates
And conquers from within again
These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's 6AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you we're growing up
Yeah
Ok, we're ok, okay
Ok, we're ok, okay
These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's 6AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you we're growing up

Stop and Stare -- OneRepublic
This town is colder now
I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move
I'm shakin' off the rust
I've got my heart set
On anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself
Counting up the years
Steady hands
Just take the wheel
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal
For the life I lead
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see
They're trying to come back
All my senses push
Untie the weight bags
I never thought I could
Steady feet
Don't fail me now
I will run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need
What you need, what you need
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do you see what I see
I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move
I'm shakin' off the rust
I've got my heart set
On anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself
Counting up the years
Steady hands
Just take the wheel
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal
For the life I lead
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there

Stop and stare

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do you see what I see
Sorry -- BuckCherry
Oh I had a lot to say
Was thinking on my time away
I missed you and things weren't the same
Cause everything inside
It never comes out right
And when I see you cry
It makes me want to die
I'm sorry I'm bad
I'm sorry I'm blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss
I love all you're sounds
And baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say
I'm sorry
This time I think I'm to blame
It's harder to get through the days
You get older and blame turns to shame
Cause everything inside
It never comes out right
And when I see you cry
It makes me want to die
I'm sorry I'm bad
I'm sorry I'm blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss
I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say
I'm sorry
Every single day
I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried
It's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah sorry
I'm sorry I'm bad
I'm sorry I'm blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss
I love all you're sounds
And baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say
I'm sorry
I'm sorry baby
I'm sorry baby yeah
I'm sorry
Was thinking on my time away

Fields of Gold -- Sting
You'll remember me
When the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun
In his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze a while
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell
As her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me
Will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun
In his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move
Like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise
When you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed
Since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run
As the sun goes down
You'll remember me
When the west wind moves
Upon the fields of gold
When the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun
In his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun
In his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze a while
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell
As her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me
Will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun
In his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move
Like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise
When you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed
Since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run
As the sun goes down
You'll remember me
When the west wind moves
Upon the fields of gold
When the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun
In his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
Born Losers -- Matthew Good
Well there ain't nothing to this but your daughter
And the life you would not give her break your plans
Traipsed across the continent a squatter
For your lies at night to sleep between my hands
When the lights come on, this whole place gets ugly
But when they're out, strangers fall in love
She could never say that flat out, that she don't want me
Cause I could never say that half way ain't enough
New order's on the turn table, we're dancing
Cause what else do you do when you don't talk?
Crucified to crawl into your mansion
Yeah, that's why I learned to crawl before I walked
We're back where we belong
Straight back where we belong
No days for nights, no cocaine cons
Just back where we belong
Take me out back to your piranhas
And beat me until I can't even stand
Your whole life a plane without no landing gear
So if this is it then come on let me land
That trailer trash pedigree is calling
It rats you out when you're down on all fours
Me, I like to cast my death on yesterday
Cause what doesn't kill us now, just makes us better whores
We're back where we belong
Straight back where we belong
No days for nights, no cocaine cons
Just back where we belong
Go put it in the ground
Go bury it somewhere it can't be found
Go put it in the ground
Well there ain't nothing to this but your daughter
And the life you would not give her break your plans
Traipsed across the continent a squatter
For your lies at night to sleep between my hands
And the life you would not give her break your plans
Traipsed across the continent a squatter
For your lies at night to sleep between my hands
When the lights come on, this whole place gets ugly

Citizen Soldier -- 3 Doors Down
Beyond the boundaries of your city's light
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries
So many times you did not bring this on yourself
When the moment finally comes
I'll be there to help
And on that day, when you need your brothers and sisters to care
I'll be right here
Citizen soldiers
Holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair
Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered
We'll always be ready because we will always be there
when there are people crying in the streets
When they're starving for a meal to eat
When they simply need a place to make their beds
Right here underneath my wing
You can rest your head
On that day, when you need your brothers and sisters to care
I'll be right here
Citizen soldiers
Holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair
Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered
We'll always be ready because we will always be there
Hope and pray, that you never need me
The rest assured I will not let you down
I walk beside you, but you may not see me
The strongest among you may not wear a crown
On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care
I'll be right here
On that day when you don't have strength for the burden you bear
I'll be right here
Citizen soldiers
Holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair
Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered
We'll always be ready because we will always be there

Rodeo Clowns -- Jack Johnson
Sweepin' the floors, open up the doors
Yeah turn on the lights, getting ready for the night
Nobody's romancing, cause it's too early for dancing
But here comes the music
Bright lights flashing
They cover up your lack of so many people
So many problems
So many reasons to buy another round
Drink it down
Just another night on the town
With the big man, money man, better than the other man
He got the plan with the million dollar give a damn
What nobody understands
Become a smaller man, the bright lights keep flashin'
women keep on dancing with the clowns
Yeah yeah yeah
They pick me up when I'm down
Yeah yeah
The rodeo clowns
Yeah yeah yeah
They pick me up when I'm down
Yeah yeah
The disco ball's spinnin'
All the music and the women
And the shots of tequila
Man they say that they need ya
What they really need is just a little room to breath
Teeny boppin' disco queen
She barely understands her dreams of belly button rings
And other kinds of things
Symbolic of change, but the thing that is strange
Is that the changes occur
And now she's just a part of the herd
Yeah yeah yeah
Man I thought that you heard
Yeah yeah
The changes occurred
Yeah yeah yeah
Just a part of the herd
Yeah yeah
Lights out, shut down, late night, wet ground
You walk by look at him, but he can't look at you
Yeah you might feel pity, but he only feels the ground
You understand moves but he only knows let down
By the corner, there's another one
Reaching out a hand, coming from a broken man
Well he tried to live, but he's done trying
Not dead, but definitely dying
With the rest of the clowns
Yeah yeah
With the rest of the clowns
