^^ I love that song.

"You And Me" - Lifehouse

What day is it? And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

I can't keep up and I can't back down

I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all other people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right

I'm tripping on words

You've got my head spinning

I don't know where to go from here

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all other people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now

I can't quite figure out

Everything she does is beautiful

Everything she does is right

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all other people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

and me and all other people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all other people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?

And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

and also by Lifehouse

Broken

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight

Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time

I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts

I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing

With a broken heart that's still beating

In the pain, there is healing

In your name I find meaning

So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on

I'm barely holdin' on to you

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head

I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead

I still see your reflection inside of my eyes

That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing

with a broken heart that's still beating

In the pain (in the pain), is there healing

In your name (in your name) I find meaning

So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')

I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm hangin' on another day

Just to see what you throw my way

And I'm hanging on to the words you say

You said that I will be OK

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone

I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing

with a broken heart that's still beating

In the pain(In the pain) there is healing

In your name I find meaning

So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),

I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),

I'm barely holdin' on to you

Collide - Howie Day

The dawn is breaking

A light shining through

You're barely waking

And I'm tangled up in you

Yeah

I'm open, you're closed

Where I follow, you'll go

I worry I won't see your face

Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills my mind

I somehow find

You and I collide

I'm quiet you know

You make a frist impression

I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the stars refuse to shine

Out of the back you fall in time

I somehow find

You and I collide

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to ryhme

Out of the doubt that fills your mind

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide

Only Fooling Myself - Kate Voegele

I stop to catch my breath

And I stop to catch your eye

No need to second guess

That you've been on my mind

I dream days away, but that's okay

It's like I want to hear a silent sound

And then hold it in my hand

But a rose won't blossom from a ground

Of desert sand, but I like to pretend that

One day I'll turn around

I'll see your hand reach out

I'm only fooling myself, oh

But maybe when you smile

It means you'd stay awhile

Just maybe, you'd save me now

Save me now

Well, now it's etched in stone

That I can't survive alone

You have the missing piece

That I need so desperately

Yes, I slip away to a day that'll never come

It's like a splash of water to my face

When I suddenly realize

That you could never find a place

For me in your eyes, and I don't know why I keep thinking

One day I'll turn around

I'll see your hand reach out

I'm only fooling myself, oh

But maybe when you smile

It means you'd stay awhile

Just maybe, you'd save me now

Save me now

It's love in disguise

I've lost track of time

I'm lost in your eyes

And I don't know why I think that

One day I'll turn around

I'll see your hand reach out

I'm only fooling myself, oh

But maybe when you smile

It means you'd stay awhile

Just maybe you'd save me now

Save me now

Just maybe you'd save me now

Leaving Town Alive - Bethany Joy Galeotti

Spending all your money

Ain’t it funny how the time goes by?

First you start believing

Then you’re leaving for no reason

And you’re wondering why

So till the morning breaks

Go and make your mistakes

Don’t be surprised if your head hurts

Life is for the living, the forgiven and for leaving town alive

Whisper in the ways

Watching days and moving on

You wake up every Monday then suddenly it’s Sunday

And the week is gone

So till the morning breaks

Go and make your mistakes

Don’t be surprised at the sunrise

Life is for the living, the forgiven and for leaving town alive

Oh, do you wonder where it starts

Where it ends

What you find around the bend

Oh, do you wonder where she’s from

Where she goes

No one knows

Now and then you wonder

Why you’re spending all your money

Ain’t it funny how she walks on by?

She had you all believing

Now she’s leaving for no reason

And you’re wondering why

So till the morning breaks

Go and make your mistakes

Don’t be surprised if your heart hurts

Life is for the living, the forgiven and for leaving town alive

Oh, do you wonder where it starts

Where it ends

What you find around the bend

And oh, do you wonder where she’s from

Where she goes

No one knows

Now and then

Oh, do you wonder where it starts

Where it ends

What you find around the bend

And do you wonder where she’s from

Where she goes

No one knows

Now and then you wonder

Why life is for the living, the forgiven and the leaving town alive

Life is for the living, the forgiven and the leaving town alive

Maybe Tomorrow - Stereophonics

I've been down and

I'm wondering why

These little black clouds

Keep walking around

With me

With me

It wastes time

And I'd rather be high

Think I'll walk me outside

And buy a rainbow smile

But be free

They're all free

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

I look around at a beautiful life

Been the upperside of down

Been the inside of out

But we breathe

We breathe

I wanna breeze and an open mind

I wanna swim in the ocean

Wanna take my time for me

All me

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

i ADORE that song =D

yay.

my current favourite

Brooke Fraser - Shadowfeet

Walking, stumbling

On these shadow feet

Toward home, a land that I've never seen

I am changing

Less and less asleep

Made of different stuff than when I began

And I have sensed it all along

Now fast approaching is the day

CHORUS

When the world has fallen out from under me

I'll be found in you, still standing

When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees

When time and space are through

I'll be found in you

There's distraction

Buzzing in my head

Saying in the shadows it's easier to stay

But I've heard rumours of true reality

Whispers of a well-lit way

CHORUS

Bridge

You make all things new

CHORUS

CHORUS 2

When the world has fallen out from under me

I'll be found in you, still standing

Every fear and accusation under my feet

When time and space are through

I'll be found in you

When time and space are through

I'll be found in you

When time and space are through

I'll be found in you

Interesting lyrics in this song:

Kate Nash - Birds

She was waiting at the station

He was getting off the train

He didnt have a ticket so he had to bum through the barriers again.

Well the ticket inspector saw him rushing through

He said "girl you don't know how much I missed you but

We'd better run cos' I havent got the funds to pay this fine."

She said "fine."

Well so they ran out of the station and jumped onto a bus

With two of yesterdays travel cards and two bottles of Bud,

And he said "you look well nice."

Well she was wearing a skirt

And he thought she looked nice

And yeah, she didnt really care about anything else

Because she only wanted him to think that she looked nice,

And he did.

But he was looking at her, yeah all funny in the eye.

She said "come on boy tell me what your thinking,

Now dont be shy."

He said alright, "I'll try.

All the stars up in the sky and the leaves in the trees,

All the broken bits that make you jump up and grassy bits in between.

All the matter in the world is how much I like you."

She said "what?"

He said "let me try and explain again.

"Right, birds can fly so high, or they can **** on your head,

Yeah they can almost fly into your eye and make you feel so scared.

But when you look at them, and you see that they're beautiful,

That's how i feel about you.

Right birds can fly so high and they can **** on your head,

Yeah they can almost fly into your eye and make you feel well scared.

But when you look at them, and you see that they're beautiful,

That's how i feel about you.

Yeah thats how i feel about you."

She said "what?"

He said "you."

She said "what are you talking about?"

He said "you. "

Right birds can fly so high or they can **** on your head

Yeah they can almost fly into your eye and make you feel so scared.

But when you look at them, and you see that they're beautiful,

That's how i feel about you.

Right birds can fly so high or they can **** on your head,

Yeah they can almost fly into your eye and make you feel well scared.

But when you look at them, and you see that they're beautiful,

That's how i feel about you.

Right, thats how i feel about you.

She said "thanks, I like you too."

He said "cool."

Hey there Delilah- plain white ts

Hey there Delilah

What's it like in New York City?

I'm a thousand miles away

But girl tonight you look so pretty

Yes you do

Time Square can't shine as bright as you

I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah

Don't you worry about the distance

I'm right there if you get lonely

Give this song another listen

Close your eyes

Listen to my voice it's my disguise

I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

What you do to me

Hey there Delilah

I know times are getting hard

But just believe me girl

Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar

We'll have it good

We'll have the life we knew we would

My word is good

Hey there Delilah

I've got so much left to say

If every simple song I wrote to you

Would take your breath away

I'd write it all

Even more in love with me you'd fall

We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far

But they've got planes and trains and cars

I'd walk to you if I had no other way

Our friends would all make fun of us

And we'll just laugh along because we know

That none of them have felt this way

Delilah I can promise you

That by the time we get through

The world will never ever be the same

And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah

You be good and don't you miss me

Two more years and you'll be done with school

And I'll be making history like I do

You know it's all because of you

We can do whatever we want to

Hey there Delilah here's to you

This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me!

Oh it's what you do to me!

Oh it's what you do to me!

Oh it's what you do to me!

What you do to me.

The Call by Regina Spektor

It started out as a feeling

Which then grew into a hope

Which then turned into a quiet thought

Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder

'Till it was a battle cry

I'll come back

When you call me

No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing

Doesn't mean it's never

Been this way before

All you can do is try to know

Who your friends are

As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon

And follow the light

You'll come back

When it's over

No need to say good bye

You'll come back

When it's over

No need to say good bye...

Now we're back to the beginning

It's just a feeling and now one knows yet

But just because they can't feel it too

Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger

'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back

When they call you

No need to say good bye

You'll come back

When they call you

No need to say good bye

"And I'd give up forever to touch you, cos I know that you feel me somehow. Your the closest to heaven that I'll ever be and I don't wanna go home right now. And all I can taste is your sweet breathe, and all I can feel is your lies, but sooner or the later the tears fall, I just don't wanna miss you tonight.

& I don't want the world to see me cos I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am."

Iris - The GooGoo Dolls.

Midnight Hour - Running Away

Don't lie and say that it's OK.

It's alright if, there's nothing more to say.

So I'm running away.

I'm leaving this place.

Yeah, I'm running away.

I'm running away.

Don't tell me, I'm the one to blame.

It's too late for you to make me stay.

No, I won't stay.

So I'm running away.

I'm leaving this place.

Yeah, I'm running away.

I'm running away.

And faster than you can follow me from this lonely place.

And farther than you can find me, I'm leaving

Yeah I'm leaving today.

And I, I'll never let you find me.

I'm leaving you behind with the past

No, I won't look back.

And I don't want to hear your reasons.

Don't want to hear you tell me why I should stay.

And try, and try to understand me

And try to understand what I say when I say I can't stay

I, I'm moving on from this place

I'm leaving and I won't wait

I'm running away.

I'm running away.

I'm leaving this place.

Yeah, I'm running away.

I'm running away.

Oliver James - Ride of your life

Wishing on a shooting star

But dreams alone won’t get you far

Can’t deny your feelings anymore

The world is waiting right outside your door

What are you waiting for

Come on, here’s your chance

Don’t let it slip right through your hands

Are you ready for the ride of your life

Your dreams are riding on the wind

Just reach out and pull them in

And get ready for the ride of your life

In your heart you know what you must do

You only got yourself to answer to

Don’t let fear of falling hold you down

Your spirits flying high above the clouds

You’re glory bound

Come on here’s your chance

Don’t let it slip right through your hands

Are you ready for the ride of your life

Your dreams are riding on the wind

Just reach out and pull them in and

Get ready for the ride of your life

You're on your way no looking back

There’s no future living in the past

You’re free at last yeah

You’re free at last

Come on here’s your chance

Don’t let it slip right through your hands

Are you ready for the ride of your life, yeah

Your dreams are riding on the wind

Just reach out and pull them in and

Get ready for the ride of your life

The ride of your life

Come on, come on, get ready

Yea, yea, yea

Your dreams are riding on the wind

Just reach out and pull them in

Get ready for the ride of your life

Kate Voegele - Kindly Unspoken

As high as the moon

So high were my spirits

When you sang out my name

And coming from you

It was enough just to hear it

Oh, it rang like the bells did today

But even the sturdiest ground

Can shift and can tremble and let us fall down…

Kindly unspoken

You show your emotion

And silence speaks louder than words

It’s lucky I’m clever

Cause if I didn’t know better

I’d believe only that which I’d heard

In the days of my folly

I followed your rules

Did what Simon Says to do

But I won’t let melancholy

Play me for a fool

Oh, no I’m on my way somewhere new

And as far as your lack of something to say

Well, to tell me goodbye there was no better way

Kindly unspoken

You show your emotion

And silence speaks louder than words

It’s lucky I’m clever

Cause if I didn’t know better

I’d believe only that which I’d heard

Bridge:

So don’t keep me up till the dawn

With words that’ll keep leading me on

I know much better than to wait for an answer from you

Kindly unspoken

You show your emotion

And silence speaks louder than words

It’s lucky I’m clever

'Cause if I didn’t know better

I’d believe only that which I’d heard

Some of my favorite songs

Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly - Find The Time Lyrics

we make lists, we make plans

to write books, to form bands

or to move to kreuzburg

and escape into the night

so pack your bags and lets take control

you and me lets go

the next time that you’re lonely,

or the next time that you’re free.

so why?

so why?

so why?

if we can make the plans can we just not find the time?

don’t get me wrong i know it’s hard

and the good things never last.

and yet theres no point in waitin for a miracle to save your life.

you took the time to find what’s real,

and amongst the baggage that you feel

is holding you back, the demons cast aside.

so why?

so why?

so why?

if we can make the plans can we just not find the time?

safe way is not

the safe way is not

the way to live your life

your light is beautiful don’t let the daydreams die!

don’t let the daydreams die!

so why?

so why?

so why?

if we can make the plans can we just not find the time?

so why?

so why?

For Good- Wicked

actually the most beautiful song ever written :)

GLINDA

I've heard it said

That people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn

And we are led

To those who help us most to grow

If we let them

And we help them in return

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you:

Like a comet pulled from orbit

As it passes a sun

Like a stream that meets a boulder

Halfway through the wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But because I knew you

I have been changed for good

ELPHABA

It well may be

That we will never meet again

In this lifetime

So let me say before we part

So much of me

Is made of what I learned from you

You'll be with me

Like a handprint on my heart

And now whatever way our stories end

I know you have re-written mine

By being my friend:

Like a ship blown from its mooring

By a wind off the sea

Like a seed dropped by a skybird

In a distant wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But because I knew you:

GLINDA

Because I knew you:

BOTHI have been changed for good

ELPHABA

And just to clear the air

I ask forgiveness

For the things I've done you blame me for

GLINDA

But then, I guess we know

There's blame to share

BOTH

And none of it seems to matter anymore

GLINDA ELPHABA

Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown

From orbit as it Off it's mooring

Passes a sun, like By a wind off the

A stream that meets Sea, like a seed

A boulder, half-way Dropped by a

Through the wood Bird in the wood

BOTH

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

I do believe I have been changed for the better?

GLINDA

And because I knew you:

ELPHABA

Because I knew you:

BOTH

Because I knew you:

I have been changed for good.
