I Guess What I Wanted Was (Jewel)

I guess what I
wanted was
to hear
you'd stay with me always.
I guess what I
wanted was
to see
those hands vowing
never to leave my own.
I guess what
I wanted was
to know
I am not loving in vain.

In My Paradise

In my paradise, I will be enough for you
You would love me as I love you
Our love would be violently romantic
Angrily tender, every day
Until eternity was through.
In my paradise, you would be honest
And though I may cry
You would lick up my salty tears.
I may throw punches but you'd throw them
Right back, at my chin, at my chest.
In my paradise, your nightmares would end
My arms would be strong
I could be the definition of world peace
To your inner beauty queen.
In my paradise, I would be enough
And you would be enough for me
So I wouldn't have to wish
For this paradise that will never be.

Set Out Running (Case)

Want to get it all behind me
you know everything reminds me
I can't be myself without you
want to crawl down deep inside
the springs inside the mattress
where l cry my dirty secrets
cause I just can't shake this feeling
that I'm nothing in your eyes
and if I knew heartbreak was coming
I would've set out running
past the city houses
and the ditches on the highway
read between the seasons
under the bridges in valleys
'til the winds out on the prairie
whip the tears from my eyes
want to get it all behind me
you know everything reminds me
I can't be myself without you
want to crawl down deep inside
the springs inside the mattress
where I cry my dirty secrets
cause I just can't shake this feeling
that I'm nothing in your eyes
and if I knew heartbreak was coming
I would've set out running
across the muddy river
and the smokestacks on the bank
swallow that horizon
hunger beyond hunger
'til the cloudy blue pacific
took the air in my lungs
and if I knew heartbreak was coming
I would've set out running
cause I just can't shake this feeling
that I'm nothing in your eyes

I Believe In You (Williams)

I don't believe in superstars,
Organic food and foreign cars.
I don't believe the price of gold;
The certainty of growing old.
That right is right and left is wrong,
That north and south can't get along.
That east is east and west is west.
And being first is always best. 
But I believe in love.
I believe in babies.
I believe in Mom and Dad.
And I believe in you. 
Well, I don't believe that heaven waits,
For only those who congregate.
I like to think of God as love:
He's down below, He's up above.
He's watching people everywhere.
He knows who does and doesn't care.
And I'm an ordinary man,
Sometimes I wonder who I am. 
But I believe in love.
I believe in music.
I believe in magic.
And I believe in you. 
I know with all my certainty,
What's going on with you and me,
Is a good thing.
It's true, I believe in you. 
I don't believe virginity,
Is as common as it used to be.
In working days and sleeping nights,
That black is black and white is white.
That Superman and Robin Hood,
Are still alive in Hollywood.
That gasoline's in short supply,
The rising cost of getting by. 
But I believe in love.
I believe in old folks.
I believe in children.
I believe in you. 
I believe in love.
I believe in babies.
I believe in Mom and Dad.
And I believe in you.


This one was for Dad and Mom, me and Wesley and Sean, crammed in the backseat of the car, going cross-country...

The Story (Leto)

I've been thinking of everything I used to want to be
I've been thinking of everything of me of you and me
This is the story of my life
And these are the lies I have created
This is the story of my life
And these are the lies I have created
I'm in the middle of nothing and it's where I want to be
When I'm at the bottom of everything that I finally start to believe
This is the story of my life
And these are the lies I have created
This is the story of my life
And these are the lies I have created
I created
And I swear to God I'll have found myself in the end
And I swear to God I'll have found myself in the end
And I swear to God I'll have found myself in the end
In the end
And I swear to God I'll have found myself in the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
This is the story of my life
And these are the lies I have created
This is the story of my life
These are the lies I have created
This is the story of my life
These are the lies I have created

Always (Saliva)

I hear a voice say "Don't be so blind"
It's telling me all these things that you would probably hide
Am I your one and only desire
Am I the reason you breathe, or am I the reason you cry
Always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you
I love you, I hate you, I can’t get around you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, this lack of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door and now I'm done with you
Done with you, done with you, done with you, done with you, done with you
I feel like you don't want me around
I guess I'll pack all my things, I guess I'll see you around
Its all been bottled up until now
As I walk out your door, all I can hear is the sound
Always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you
I love you, I hate you, I can’t get around you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, this lack of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door and now I'm done with you
I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you
I left my head around your heart
Why would you tear my world apart?
Always... always... always... always...
I see the blood all over your hands
Does it make you feel, more like a man?
Was it all just a part of your plan
The pistol's shaking in my hands and all I hear is the sound
I love you, I hate you, I can’t live without you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, this lack of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door and now I'm done with you
I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you
I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, this lack of solitude
I pick myself off the floor and now I'm done with you
Always... always... always...

How's It Going To Be? (3EB)

I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore
Before you take a swing, I wonder what are we fighting for?
When I say out loud, "I want to get out of this,"
I wonder, is there anything I'm going to miss?
I wonder how it's going to be 
when you don't know me.
How's it going to be
when you're sure I'm not there?
How's it going to be
when there’s no one there to talk to between you and me?
'Cause I don't care
How's it going to be?
How's it going to be?
Where we used to laugh, there's a shouting match
sharp as a thumbnail scratch
A silence I can't ignore,
like the hammock by the doorway we spent time in
Swing's empty 
I don't see lightning like last fall
when it was always about to hit me
I wonder how's it going to be when it goes down
How's it going to be when your not around?
How's it going to be when you found out there was nothing
between you and me?
'Cause I don't care
How's it going to be?
And how's it going to be
when you don't know me anymore?
And how's it going to be?
I wanna get myself back in again
The soft dive of oblivion…
I wanna taste the salt of your skin
The soft dive of oblivion…oblivion
How's it going to be
when you don't know me any more?
How's it going to be?
How's it going to be?

Someday (Jones)

When I close my eyes, and go to sleep
Going to rest these bones, with wounds so deep
Lost but found, safe and sound, I'm still around
I still hear your voice, and see your face
How I loved you once, but now I'm not afraid
On my own, but not alone, hope lingers on
So can you call it love, when it's covered in pain
Can you call it faith, if it's shadowed by blame
I know what's right, to get it right, hope is still alive
Got a heart that bleeds, got a soul that aches
But I still believe in love someday
Lost but found, safe and sound, I'm still around
There will come a day, when love will carry me
Over space, we'll fly away
That's all I need someday
So can you call it love, when it's covered in pain
Can you call it faith, if its shadowed by blame
I know what's right, to get it right, hope is still alive
Someday, I will find love
Someday

Where I Stood (Higgins)

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey, you know me
It's all, or none
There were sounds in my head
A little voice is whispering
That I should go, and this should end
But then I found myself listening
Cuz I don't know, who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand, another hand upon you,
All I know is that I should
Cuz she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
See I thought love was black and white
If it was wrong, or it was right
But you aint leaving without a fight and I think I am just as torn inside
Cuz I don't know, who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand, another hand upon you,
All I know is that I should
Cuz she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself
And so I say to you...
This is what I have to do
Cuz she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
She who dares to stand where I stood

Bloodstream (Stateless)

Wake up
Look me in the eyes again
I need to feel your hand upon my face
Words can relay nice
They can cut you open
And then the silence surrounds you and haunts you
I think I might have inhaled you
I could feel you behind my eyes
You've gotten into my bloodstream
I could feel you floating in me
Words can relay nice
They can cut you open
And then the silence surrounds you and haunts you
I think I might have inhaled you
I could feel you behind my eyes
You've gotten into my bloodstream
I could feel you floating in me
The spaces in between
Two minds and all the places they have been
The spaces in between
I tried to put my finger on it
I tried to put my finger on it
I think I might have inhaled you
I could feel you behind my eyes
You've gotten into my bloodstream
I could feel you floating in me
I think I might have inhaled you
I could feel you behind my eyes
You've gotten into my bloodstream
I could feel you floating in me

Something I Can Never Have (Reznor)

I still recall the taste of your tears
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
scraping through my head 'till I don't want to sleep anymore
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
and I'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
I just want something
I just want something I can never have
you always were the one to show me how
back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now
this thing is slowly taking me apart
grey would be the color if I had a heart
come on tell me
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
and I'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
I just want something
I just want something I can never have
in this place it seems like such a shame
though it all looks different now,
I know its still the same
everywhere I look you're all I see
just a fading f*cking reminder of who I used to be
come on tell me
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
and I'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make it all go away
I just want something
I just want something I can never have
I just want something I can never have

Never Say Never (Fray)

There's some things we don't talk about
rather do without
and just hold the smile
falling in and out of love
ashamed and proud of
together all the while
You can never say never
why we dont know when
time and time again
younger now than we were before
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Picture, you're the queen of everything
as far as the eye can see
under your command
I will be your guardian
when all is crumbling
steady your hand
You can never say never
why we dont know when
time, time and time again
younger now then we were before
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
We're pulling apart and coming together again and again
We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Breakdown (Seether)

The sun is gone and the flowers rot
Words are spaces between us
And Ii should've been drown in the rivers i've found of token lost
And I should've been down when you made me insecure
So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
'Cause i'm so much more than meets the eye
And I'm the one you can never trust
'Cause wounds are ways to reveal us
And yeah I could have tried and devoted my life to both of us
But what a waste of my time when the world we have is yours
So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
'Cause i'm so much more than all your lies
Hate me, break me down
So break me down
So break me down
So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
'Cause I'm so much more than meets the eye

Broken (Lifehouse)

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 is 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 is 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
I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will, I'll 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 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

Iris (GooGoo)

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 seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're 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
