snake's got a leg
it's one only she can see
then she'll get so many legs
then she'll run in ways we'll never ever see

i got a jacket
a coat full of contraband
and i got, got so many high heels to sell
and i got, got so many hands to hand 'em over with

and they'll eat like kings

so oh, got hit with bows and arrows
i said oh, got hit with bows and arrows

i don't wanna go into the hills today
into the mountains to feed the crows
up in the hills, up in the hills
it's cold and brutal

they peck at my bones with their beaks
i'm lying down
they peck at my eyes with their beaks
i'm lying down
they peck at my ears with their neverending cawing

and they'll eat like kings

so snake's in the grass
put that snake in the oven 'cause I'm the oven and say,
how can you live so high in the mountains?

it's cool in the shade of the woodshed, baby, say,
can i stay awhile?
she said, no, how dare you live up so high in the mountains?

i got chased by a hundred snakes this morning
got away from a hundred snakes in the night
sing: how can you live up so--

if i was a horse i would throw up the reins if i was you
but i am no horse and you are no angel
i said if i was a horse i would throw up the reins if i was you

your hands in my mane
your hands on my muscles
your weight on my back
it keeps me from trouble

but such weights never did stay in madrid did they
you gotta ride me to a pasture on a ride to kiss all the wings

you are a waterfall
waiting inside a well
you are a wrecking ball
before the building fell
and every lightning rod
has gotta watch the stormcloud come

and i heard of pious men
and i've heard of dirty fiends
but you don't often hear
of us ones in between
i've heard of creatures
who eat their babies
i wonder if they stop to think about the taste

i saw the sun go down
outside of arkansas
i saw the sun come up
somewhere in illinois
and in the darkness
i taught myself to hate
oh where were you, oh where were you
and where the f*ck did the sun go

i am a creature
and i am surviving
and i want to be alone
but i want your body
so when you eat me
mother and baby
oh baby, mother me
before you eat me

and you should always pass
when you've got the inside lane
don't pull your hair out
i won't pull my hair out
for i have never
seen a sun
that did not bury his head in the side of the world when the day is done

you are a waterfall
waiting inside a well
you are a wrecking ball
before the building fell
and i will mother
like a lover
who speaks in tongues
he speaks in tongues
oh i speak in tongues

to think that i would die this time
isolated in the room where the bed rises
photographic ordinary people are everywhere
extraordinary histories, ordinary histories, ordinary histories

i'll find sleep, i'll find peace
or in death you'll sleep with me

to figure that it was my fault
or so i've come to realize life is not about
love with someone (ordinary people are everywhere)
extraordinary people are, ordinary people are, ordinary people are

everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
illness is watching, waiting its turn

did i go at it wrong?
did i go intentionally to destroy me?
i'm suffering in noise i'm suffering in (touching ordinary body)
the burning from within the burning with (ordinary hysteria)
i could not be at rest -- i could not be at peace (extraordinary hysteria)

so do yourself a good, or do yourself a death from ordinary causes
or do yourself a favor, or do yourself a death from ordinary causes

illness likes to prey upon the lonely -- pray upon the lonely
wave goodbye, oh, i would rather be, but i would rather be fine

i want to be well
i want to be well
i want to be well
i want to be well
i want to be well
i want to be well
i want to be well
i want to be well

and i forgive you even
as you choke me that way
with the pill or demon
and the shrouded shalom
under conversation
in tremendous weight of
a crowd of ages outside
dressed for murder

i'm not f*cking around (i want to be well)
i'm not (want to be well)
i'm not (want to be well)
i'm not f*cking around (i want to be well)
i'm not (want to be well)
i'm not (want to be well)

and shall i kiss you even
as you take me that way
with the pill or demon
as my body changes
apparitions gone awry
they surround me, all sides
but from within i see
an unholy change

i'm not f*cking around (i want to be well)
i'm not (i want to be well)
i'm not (i want to be well)

i asked you a question
but i didn't need you to reply
is it getting heavy
but then i realized
is it getting heavy
well i thought it was already as heavy as can be

is it overwhelming
to use a crane to crush a fly
it's a good time for superman
to lift the sun into the sky
'cause it's getting heavy
hell i thought it was already as heavy as can be

tell everybody waiting for superman
that they should try to hold on best they can
he hasn't dropped them, forgot them, or anything
it's just too heavy for superman to lift

early morning sun has risen gold and chrome for anastasia
wake up slowly out the window someone calls for anastasia
and i don't know how to stop it at all
i just don't know how to stop it at all
and i don't know how to stop it anastasia

he wants your heart in his little fictions
but he just hasn't earned it yet baby
so raise your hands as he's explaining
how he built this city on cocaine lasers
and he don't know how to stop it at all
he just don't know how to stop it at all
and he don't know how to stop it anastasia

morning will turn turn everything back to gold

so kill the lights for slow slow dancing
oh as if no one would notice
and sing your songs -- sing them all night, baby
if it's out of key, well, nobody's perfect
and you don't know how to stop it at all
you just don't know how to stop it at all
and you don't know how to stop it anastasia
and you don't know how to stop it at all
you just don't know how to stop it at all
and you don't know how to stop it

morning will turn turn everything back to gold

oh you'll never know you'll never know know about
how his little heart his little heart was feeling so down
oh you'll never know you'll never know know about
how his little heart his little heart was feeling so down

i'm sorry that i'm late
i went blind
i got confetti in my eyes
i was held up at yesterday's parties
i was needed on the congo line

but my dear, oh my dear
i'd like to fight the good fight for another couple of years
'cause to say the war is over is to say you are a widow
you're not a widow yet
you're not a widow yet

so this one's for the critics and their disappointed mothers
for the cupid and the hunter shooting arrows at each other
ain't no such thing as a saint
ain't no such thing as a sinner

there's a swan among the pigeons of barcelona's floor
there's a samson with delilahs lining up outside the door
if you are sharpening your scissors
i am sharpening my scissors
and i am sharpening my sword

so you can take me to the dragonslair
or you can take me to rapunzel's windowsill
either way it is time for a bigger kind of kill
a bigger kind of kill

oh i see your face when i close my eyes
oh i see the muscles in your legs from the way you always rise
to the occasion of catching things that fall
like the statuettes on pedestals i tend to build too tall
but i have navigated iceland
i've laid my claim on portugal
i have seen into the wasteland
oh the future
oh the future of us all

i know it's not over
baby, i worked this out for sure
it's gonna be colder
now you've forced open the door
i know you better
than i ever have before
i know you

i know you're a fighter
but you never fought for me
when i was shelter
and you're not heading home to me
we could be closer
we could be closer
we could be

when it's just us
you show me what it feels like to be lonely
you show me what it feels like to be lost
i take your hand for you to let it go

it's gonna be
it's gonna be better
it's gonna be better
it's gonna be

we'll take a long walk
down the alleys of these houses
and we'll talk
see what conversation rouses
when we're alone
when we're alone
it could be home

when it's just us
you show me what it feels like to be lonely
you show me what it feels like to be lost
i take your hand for you to let it go

it's gonna be
it's gonna be better
it's gonna be better
it's gonna be

he said, 'i am the devil, boy,
come with me and we'll make many storms'
he offered me the universe
but inside my heart there's a picture of a girl

some call love a curse
some call love a thief
but she's my home
and she's as much a part for this broken heart
see, broken bones always seem

i'll taste the devil's tears
drink from his soul
but i'll never give up you
i'll taste the devil's tears
drink from his soul
but i'll never give up you

he said, 'i am the devil, boy
come with me and we'll break many laws'
he offered me eternal life
but inside my heart there's a picture of a girl

some call love a curse
some call love a thief
but she's my home
and she's as much a part for this broken heart
you see, broken bones always seem to mend

i'll taste the devil's tears
drink from his soul
but i'll never give up you
i'll taste the devil's tears
drink from his soul

goodbye to sleep
i think this staying up
is exactly what i need
well take apart your head
take apart the counting
and the flock it has bred

goodbye to love
well it's a ride that will push you up
right against the wall
take apart your head
(right against the wall)
chew it up and swallow it

(does everybody really need to know everyone
do you really think you're really a part of it
and is your army really one of some thousands
and will you declare war on the loony bin)

you're brought back but you're running
i fell asleep at the incline
i can't shake this little feeling
i'll never get anything right

goodbye you liar
well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
then you think you will inspire
take apart your head
(and i wish i could inspire)
take apart the demon
up in the attic to the left

(when i arrive will god be waiting and pacing around his throne
will he feel a little old testament
and will he celebrate with fire and brimstone
yes, i admit, i am afraid of the reckoning)

(goodbye my love)
you're brought back but you're running
(you wait right here and they will come and pick you up)
let's sleep at the incline
(i've been on pause but i'm shaking off the rust)
i can't shake this tiny feeling
(i've lost my charge, i've been degaussed)
i'll never say anything right
(i'm on my own, i've been degaussed)

take me take me back to your bed
i love you so much that it hurts my head
say, "i don't mind you under my skin
i'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in"

well when we were made we were set apart
life is a test and i get bad marks
now some saint got the job of writing down my sins
well the storm is coming, the storm is coming in

you burn bright but you're running
i feel safe at the incline
i can't shake this little feeling
i never did anything right
(i'm on my own)
i never did anything right

take me take me back to your bed
i love you so much that it hurts my head
i don't mind you under my skin
i let the bad parts in, the bad parts in

well you're my favorite bird and when you sing
i really do wish that you'd wear my ring
no matter what they say i am still the king
the storm is coming
the storm is coming in

Mumford & Sons - Ghosts That We Knew

You saw my pain washed out in the rain
Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
But you saw no fault, no cracks in my heart
And you knelt beside my hope torn apart

But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
We'll live a long life

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
'Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright

So lead me back, turn south from that place
And close my eyes to my recent disgrace
'Cause you know my call
And we'll share my all
And our children come and they will hear me roar

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
'Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright

But hold me still, bury my heart on the coals
And hold me still, bury my heart next to yours

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
'Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold on as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright

But the ghosts that we knew made us black and all blue
But we'll live a long life

hey you handsome vulture
what you got hiding under there
you got my hands tied
you got your hands behind your back

i take it all's okay you handsome vulture
with all your charm and wit and escapades
you're making me pick
you son of a bitch
you're making me pick one

you ask me about my absences
and then you make some of your own
you ask me about my absences
and then you makes some of your own

Muse - Unintended

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I'll always love
You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

The Fray - Be Still

Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know that I am here
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still, be still, and know

When darkness comes upon you
And covers you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I'm with you
And I will say your name

If terror falls upon your bed
And sleep no longer comes
Remember all the words I said
Be still, be still, and know

And when you go through the valley
And the shadow comes down from the hill
If morning never comes to be
Be still, be still, be still

If you forget the way to go
And lose where you came from
If no one is standing beside you
Be still and know I am

Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know I am

i am embracing the cold rushing in
like ice to a diamond
it's a new kind of rough you can find me in

when the sail starts flapping in the wind
i say, 'cool, that looks cool,
now do you think the second movement has too many violins'

don't get too close
you'll detect the west coast air in my chest
and the way i hold it in there

it's the taming of the hands that came back to life
when she synchronized swam on the ice in '03
oh but enough about me

will you live in the physical world
will you live in the physical world

and though explosions make debris
and catching it kinda suits you
well it doesn't suit me

she said, 'my sails are flapping in the wind'
i said, 'can i use that in a song'
she said, 'i mean the end begins'
i said, 'i know -- can i use that too'

will you live, will you live in the physical world
will you live, will you live in the physical world
with the sun setting low and the shadows unfurled
can you live with the way they make you look unreal

i got a number on me
i got a number
won't make it through the high noon sun
i am my father's son
i am my father's son
his bed is made

i was a hero
early in the morning
i ain't no hero
in the night
i am my father's son

i'll build a house inside of you
i'll go in through the mouth
i'll draw three figures on your heart
one of them'll be me as a boy
one of them'll be me
one of them'll be me watching you run

watching you run
into the high noon sun
watching you run
farther than guns will go
you are a runner
with a stolen voice
you are a runner
and i am my father's son

Phillip Phillips - Home

Hold on, to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave is stringing us along
Just know you?re not alone
Cause I?m going to make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you?re not alone
Cause I?m going to make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found

sometimes it feels like i'm gonna break
sometimes this world gives more than i can take
sometimes sunshine gets lost in the rain
and it keeps pouring down
it just keeps coming down

this life would kill me if i didn't have you
i couldn't live without you, baby
i wouldn't want to
if you didn't love me so much i'd never make it through
'cause this life would kill me
this life would kill me if i didn't have you

you are my heart, every breath i breathe
i'm safe in your arms, you rescue me
when i'm weak, you're strong
if you were gone i don't know where i'd be
you were made for me, you were made for me

this life would kill me if i didn't have you
i couldn't live without you, baby

jesus christ, that's a pretty face
the kind that you'd find on someone that could save
if they don't put me away
it'll be a miracle

do you believe you're missing out
everything good is happening somewhere else
but with nobody in your bed
the night's hard to get through

and i will die all alone
and when i arrive i won't know anyone

well jesus christ, i'm alone again
so what did you do those three days you were dead
'cause this problem's gonna last
more than the weekend

well jesus christ, i'm not scared to die
i'm a little bit scared of what comes after
do i get the gold chariot
do i float through the ceiling

do i divide and pull apart
'cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark

and this ship went down in sight of land
and at the gates does thomas ask to see my hands

i know you'll come in the night like a thief
but i've had some time, oh lord, to hone my lying technique
i know you think that i'm someone you can trust
but i'm scared i'll get scared and i swear i'll try to nail you back up
so do you think that we can work out a sign
so i'll know it's you and that it's over so i won't even try
i know you're coming for the people like me
but we all got wood and nails
and we turn out hate in factories
and we sleep inside of this machine

The secret Sisters - Tomorrow Will Be Kinder

Black clouds are behind me, I now can see ahead
Often I wonder why I try hoping for an end
Sorrow weighs my shoulders down
And trouble haunts my mind
But I know the present will not last
And tomorrow will be kinder

Tomorrow will be kinder
It's true, I've seen it before
A brighter day is coming my way
Yes, tomorrow will be kinder

Today I've cried a many tear
And pain is in my heart
Around me lies a somber scene
I don't know where to start
But I feel warmth on my skin
The stars have all aligned
The wind has blown, but now I know
That tomorrow will be kinder

Tomorrow will be kinder
I know, I've seen it before
A brighter day is coming my way
Yes, tomorrow will be kinder

A brighter day is coming my way
Yes, tomorrow will be kinder

Bruno Mars - It Will Rain

If you ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.

There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor (Ooh)
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
To keep you by my side
To keep you from walkin' out the door.

'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Sayin' "There goes my little girl
Walkin' with that troublesome guy"

But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Ooh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds
Yeah for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine

'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

Oh, don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye),
Don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye)
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right

'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
And just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

P!nk - Glitter In The Air

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Closed your eyes and trusted, just trusted?
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face and said, "I just don't care"?

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
The breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breath before the kiss
And the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

La La La La La La La La

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee,
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight?
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight?
Tonight

you will still love her
but it's teresa that you love the best

there was a flood
a world of water
the mason's wife
swam for her daughter

one thousand people
did what they could
they found a steeple and
tore up the wood

five hundred pieces means
five hundred float
one thousand people means
five hundred don't
and it's teresa that they love the best

i've said it before
and i'll say it again
all fires have to burn alive
all fires have to burn alive

from near his heart
he took a rib
all fires have to burn alive to live

from near his heart
he took a rib
all fires have to burn alive to live

so it's teresa that i love the best

--all fires, swan lake

Coldplay - Til Kingdom Come

Steal my heart and hold my tongue.
I feel my time, my time has come.
Let me in, unlock the door.
I've never felt this way before.

The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummer begins to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know which way I've come.

Hold my head inside your hands,
I need someone who understands.
I need someone, someone who hears,
For you, I've waited all these years.

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come.
Until my day, my day is done.
And say you'll come, and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

In your tears and in your blood,
In your fire and in your flood,
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing,
"I wouldn't change a single thing."

The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummers begin to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know what I've become.

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come,
Until my days, my days are done.
Say you'll come and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

i've become
impossible
holding on to when
when everything seemed to matter more
the two of us
all used and beaten up
watching fate
as it flows
down the path
we have chose

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow

you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

awake to the sound
as they peel apart the skin
they pick and they pull
trying to get their fingers in

well they've got to kill what we found
well they've got to hate what they fear
well they've got to make it go away
well they've got to make it disappear

the farther i fall i'm beside you
as lost as i get i will find you
the deeper the wound i'm inside you
forever and ever i am a part of

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow

you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

all that we were is gone, we have to hold
all that we were is gone, we have to hold
when all our hope is gone we have to hold
all that we were is gone but we can hold on

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow

you and me
even after everything
you're the queen and i'm the king
nothing else means anything

Sick Puppies - Maybe

Maybe I'm a dreamer
Maybe I'm misunderstood
Maybe you're not seeing the side of me you should
Maybe I'm crazy
(Maybe I'm crazy)
Maybe I'm the only one
(Maybe I'm the only one)
Maybe I'm just out of touch
Maybe I've just had enough

Maybe it's time to change
And leave it all behind
I've never been one to walk alone
I've always been scared to try
So why does it feel so wrong
To reach for something more
To wanna live a better life
What am I waiting for?
'Cause nothing stays the same
Maybe it's time to change

Maybe it's hopeless
(Maybe it's hopeless)
Maybe I should just give up
(Maybe I should just give up)
What if I can't trust myself?
What if I just need some help?

Maybe it's time to change
And leave it all behind
I've never been one to walk alone
I've always been scared to try
So why does it feel so wrong
To reach for something more
To wanna live a better life
What am I waiting for?
'Cause nothing stays the same
Maybe it's time to change

And maybe it's time to change
And leave it all behind
I've never been one to walk alone
I've always been scared to try

And maybe it's time to change
And leave it all behind
I've never been one to walk alone
I've always been scared to try
So why does it feel so wrong
To reach for something more
To wanna live a better life
What am I waiting for?
'Cause nothing stays the same
Maybe it's time to change
'Cause nothing stays the same
Maybe it's time to change

A Fine Frenzy - The Beacon

You say your time has come
You're tired of waking up
Don't be obscene, I can't conceive of
Living without you

You say you drag us down
No one should want you now

When I start to cry, you kiss my eyes and say
I'm not allowed to

Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes

You were a child forgot
Lessons of love untaught
Now no embrace can quite replace
The one that never found you

I was raised tenderly
All that was taught to me
I will apply, your parents tried but they didn't know how to

Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes

Let me stand by you
The honor is mine
Let me stand by you
Loneliest light, loneliest light, loneliest light

Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes

The Wanted - Glad You Came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts

My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

I'm glad you came
So glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

Eric Church - Hell On The Heart

No if, and's, but's or maybe's
So you wanna be her baby
I can read your face like a book
Yeah it looks easy to love her but believe me brother
It's harder than it looks

She's as pretty as a picture
Every bit as funny as she is smart
Got a smile that'll hold you together
And a touch that'll tear you apart
When she's yours she brings the sunshine
When she's gone the world goes dark
Yeah she's heaven on the eyes
But boy she's hell on the heart

Yeah she's good when she's bad
She's cute when she's mad
And she does all the wrong things right
Yeah boy it's a fact when they're made like that
You ain't ever gonna sleep at night

She's as pretty as a picture
Every bit as funny as she is smart
Got a smile that'll hold you together
And a touch that'll tear you apart
When she's yours she brings the sunshine
When she's gone the world goes dark
Yeah she's heaven on the eyes
But boy she's hell on the heart

Once you feel her touch and you've felt that rush
It's gonna mess up your head
But here's the kicker son
Your old ticker's gonna beat you half to death

She's as pretty as a picture
Every bit as funny as she is smart
Got a smile that'll hold you together
And a touch that'll tear you apart
When she's yours she brings the sunshine
When she's gone the world goes dark
Yeah she's heaven on the eyes
But boy she's hell on the heart
Yeah she's hell on the heart

Dierks Bentley - Come A Little Closer

Come a little closer, baby
I feel like layin' you down
On a bed sweet surrender
Where we can work it all out
There ain't nothin' that love can't fix
Girl, it's right here at our fingertips
So come a little closer baby,
I feel like layin' you down

Come a little closer, baby
I feel like lettin' go
Of everything that stands between us
And the love we used to know
I wanna touch you like a cleansing rain
Let it wash all the hurt away
So come a little closer baby
I feel like lettin' go

If there's still a chance
Then take my hand
And we'll steal away
Off into the night
'till we make things right
The suns gonna rise on a better day

Come a little closer baby
I feel like strippin' it down
Back to the basics of you and me
And what makes the world go round
Every inch of you against my skin
I wanna be stronger than we've ever been
So come a little closer baby
I feel like strippin' it down

Come a little bit closer baby
Just a little bit closer baby
Come a little bit closer baby
I feel like layin' you down

Blake Shelton - Over

If I could
I would dare
Feed your dreams
And starve your fears
If I could
Light the world
We could sit
And watch it burn
We could fall asleep inside the glow

So tell me what I gotta do to win you over
You'll never have to wonder if you need another
You'll never have to wonder if I understand
And every time you reach for me you'll find a hand out

If I could
Take you in
Feeling you deep
Beneath my skin
Then I could
Slip away
With you as a poison in my veins
I don't wanna fall asleep alone
And wake up knowing that I died without the one

So tell me what I gotta do to win you over
You'll never have to wonder if you need another
You'll never have to wonder if I understand
And every time you reach for me you'll find a hand out

If I could
I would dare
Feed your dreams
And starve your fears...

Gotye - Easy Way Out

Seventeen seconds and I'm over it
Ready for the disconnect
Putting on a brave face
Trying not to listen
To the voices in the back of my head

But it's alright now
(It's a distant memory baby)
Alright now
(You know you should just let it go)

Some feelings have a habit of persisting
Even though you wouldn't let it show

Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
('Til I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out

Brain-dead from boredom
I'm led to distraction
Scratching the surface of life
Nothing really happens
But it's easy to keep busy
When you tell yourself you're traveling right

But it's alright now
(Was it really worth it baby?)
Alright now
(Was it just a waste of time?)

Keep on second-guessing
Use my memory like a weapon
On everything I try

Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
('Til I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out

Wearing me out
(But it's alright now)
Hanging around
(Alright now)
Getting me down
(But it's alright now)
Looking for an easy way out

there is a game i play
try to make myself okay
try so hard to make the pieces fix
smash it apart just for the f*ck of it

got to get back to the bottom
the big come down -- isn't that what you wanted?
find a place with the failed and forgotten
isn't that really what you wanted now?

there is no place i can go
there is no way i can hide
it feels like it keeps coming from the inside

there is a hate that burns within
the most desperate place i have ever been
try to get back to where i'm from
the closer i get the worse it becomes
the closer i get the worse it becomes

there is no place i can go
there is no place i can hide
it feels like it keeps coming from the inside

you're the prince to my ballerina
you feed other people's parking meters
you encourage the eating of ice cream
you would somersault in sand with me

you talk to loners, you ask 'how's your week'
you give love to all and you give love to me
you're obsessed with hiding the sticks and stones
when i feel the unknown, you feel like home
you feel like home

you put my feet back on the ground
did you know you brought me around
you were sweet and you were sound
you saved me

you're the wamth in my summer breeze
you're the ivory to my ebony keys
you would share your last jelly bean
you would somersault in sand with me

you put my feet back on the ground
did you know you brought me around
you were sweet and you were sound
you saved me

you put my feet back on the ground
did you know you bought me around
you were sweet and you were sound
see i had shrunk yet still you wore me around and 'round

Miranda Lambert - Safe

Just like the fringe on my boots
You move with every step I take
You walk in front of me to make sure
That I don?t fall and break my own heart
Cause with you I could never

Just like the leather on my saddle
We get prettier with time
Together in the weather
Shiny on the other side
Polished and changed for the better

With you I?m safe
With you I?m safe

I follow you just like a shadow
Only closer and
If you get tied and bound
I'll find a way to free your hands
I'll wash them clean
Of everything but me

Sometimes you might get thirsty
So I?ll catch the rain
Just like the ice in your glass
I'll rattle when you need a drink
You?ll never run dry of love or anything

I?ll keep you safe
I?ll keep you safe
I?ll keep you safe

I keep a locket on my neck that holds your face
I?ll spend forever making sure I can erase
Every tear you ever thought about crying

You make me feel like I?m the only girl in the whole wide world
I wanna hold you like a handful of diamonds and pearls
That I guard with my life or die trying

I?ll keep you safe
I?ll keep you safe
I?ll keep you safe

i want to date you, maybe
i want to take you out
i want to wine and dine you
i want to twist and twist and shout

i want you hard in my arms
so soft on my bed
you get the keys to my heart
when you wear that sweet dress
(you know, the short one)

you're so physical, physical
for me
you're just too physical, physical
for me

i want your roughhouse, baby
i want this night in your ear
you let me feel your danger
i want to make this feeling clear

i want the touch of your charms
the heat of your breath
i want to say all those things
(dirty things)
that would be better unsaid

you're so physical, physical
for me
you're just too physical, physical
for me

The All-American Rejects - The Poison

You were so young
And I guess I'm old
Open your eyes
I'll keep mine closed
I prefer standing
And you take your seat
I'll be wide awake
And you'll fall asleep

And you'll fall down a hole
That's the one place we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
I guess that sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road

I can be pensive
You can be so sure
You'll be the poison
You'll be the cure
I'm alone on the journey
I'm alive none the less
And when you do your very worst
Mmmmm it feels the best

And you'll fall down a hole
That's the one place we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
I guess sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road

And you'll fall down a hole
That's the one place in this world that we both know
You take me with you if you could
But if you could I'd lose everything

Can't you see the faces melting as the sun rains from their eyes
Who are you to keep your head with the hearts that you hang behind
Look at yourself, look in the mirror, don't you see a lie?
That you tell yourself again a thousand times
And the truth that makes us laugh will make you cry
You wanna die? No?

So you fall down a hole
That's the one place where we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
Because sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road

People say I'm just a rough boy
I ain't no good for you girl
It's a dead end street, tryin' to love me
Yeah, I'll wreck your world
I can see why they're all talkin'
Lookin' back at my past
I've got a bad name, but a man can change
I'm livin' proof of that

Til my last day, til my last breath
Of everyone that can, I can love you the best
Til my last day, I'll be lovin' you
All the way up, til they lay me down
Six feet under the cold hard ground
Til my last day, I'll be lovin' you

Baby I might meet all my friends
Shoot the bull, have a beer or two
But you know I'll be the first one to leave
In a hurry to get to you
Somewhere deep inside your angel eyes
I found a place to rest,
Don't ever doubt that I'll be around,
And baby don't you ever forget

Til my last day, til my last breath
Of everyone that can, I can love you the best
Til my last day, I'll be lovin' you
All the way up, til they lay me down
Six feet under the cold hard ground
Til my last day, I'll be lovin' you
Darlin' yes I will

Til my last day, til my last breath
Of everyone that can, I can love you the best
Til my last day, I'll be lovin' you
All the way up, til they lay me down
Six feet under the cold hard ground
Til my last day, I'll be lovin' you
Oh babe, til my last day

The All-American Rejects - Sierra's Song

Open your eyes, you're just like I know you
Innocence runs down your face
As hard as I try
I die when I hold you
Guilty, I miss my place
Just to be there tonight
You gotta know it's for real

Cause I'll be the man you complete tonight
Just slip away and believe your mine
We've got the time now, the rest of our lives
Now you belong to me

Let's leave today, we can go anywhere
Show me what few get to feel
I'm not the same but you steal me away
And it's such a fake world, you're the one soul that's real
Just to be there tonight (I'm alive)

I'll be the man you complete tonight
Just slip away and believe your mine
We've got the time now, the rest of our lives
Now you belong to me
Now you belong to me

Sierra, open the door and I'll walk right beside you
My Sierra, I'll give you more than a shoulder to cry
To believe, there's a place where we both live forever and we'll go
If you'll just take my hand

I'll be the man you complete tonight
Just slip away and believe your mine
We've got the time now, the rest of our lives
Now you belong to me
I'll be the man you complete tonight
Just slip away and believe your mine
We've got the time now, the rest of our lives
Now you belong to me
I'll be the man you complete
Now you belong to me

say say my playmate
won't you lay hands on me
mirror my malady
transfer my tragedy

got a curse i cannot lift
shines when the sunset shifts
when the moon is round and full
gotta bust that box
gotta gut that fish
(my mind's aflame)

we could jet in a stolen car
but i bet we wouldn't get too far
before the transformation takes
and bloodlust tanks
and crave gets slaked

my mind has changed
my body's frame -- but god i like it
my heart's aflame
my body's strained -- but god i like it

my mind has changed
my body's frame -- but god i like it
my heart's aflame
my body's strained -- but god i like it

charge me your day rate
i'll turn you out in kind
when the moon is round and full
gonna teach you tricks
that'll blow your mongrel mind

babydoll i recognize
you're a hideous thing inside
if ever there were a lucky kind
it's you you you you

i know it's strange
another way to get to know you
you'll never know
unless we go so let me show you

i know it's strange
another way to get to know you
we've got till noon
here comes the moon so let it show you
show you now

dream me oh dreamer
down to the floor
open my hands
and let them weave onto yours

feel me completer
down to my core
open my heart
and let it bleed onto yours

feeding on fever
down on all fours
show you what all that
howl is for

hey hey my playmate
let me lay waste to thee
burned down their hanging trees
it's hot here hot here hot here hot here

got a curse we cannot lift
shines when the sunset shifts
there's a cure comes with a kiss
the bite that binds
the gift that gives

now that we got gone for good
writhing under your riding hood
tell your gramma and your mama too
it's true true true true

we're howling
we're howling
forever

you and i
we may look the same
but we are very far apart
there's bullet-holes where my compassion used to be
and there is violence in my heart

into fire you can send us
from the fire we return
you can label us a consequence
of how much you have to learn

you can try -- but you'll never understand
this is something you will never understand
can you hear it now?
hear it coming now?
can you hear it now?

on hands and knees
we crawl
you cannot stop us all
our bones
our skin
we will not let you in

you have set something in motion
greater than you've ever known
standing there in all your grand naivete
about to reap what you have sown

time will feed upon your weakness
and soon you'll lose the will to care
when you return to the place that you call home
we will be there
we will be there

on hands and knees
we crawl
you cannot stop us all
our blood
will stay
we will not go away

on hands and knees
we crawl
you cannot stop us all
our blood
our grace
will never leave this place

we crawl
we crawl

Bright Eyes - First Day Of My Life

This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said "this is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy"

So if you want to be with me
With these things there's no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

Of Monsters And Men - Little Talks

Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear
The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes

Some days I can't even trust myself
It's killing me to see you this way

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Hey! Hey! Hey!

There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love.

Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Hey!
Hey!

You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is the ghost of you.
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep

Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Billy Currington - Heal Me

Use a lighter hand
I've got bruses you can't see
You can take your time
Your love is all I need
They say time is a healer
But it's been no friend to me

I've had a share of heartache
I've had my fill of pain
Girl you took away the hurt
And stopped the falling rain

I know you walk on water
I know that you can heal me

Heal me
With your sweet and sexy ways
Feel me
Your touch is all I crave
I've been waiting for so long
For you to come along
And heal me

Girl don't cut yourself
On my broken heart
Watch for the jagged pieces
They might tear you apart
Oh, once you touch my soul
I know that you can heal me

Heal me
With your sweet and sexy ways
Feel me
Your touch is all I crave
I've been waiting for so long
For you to come along
And heal me
Oh heal me
Won't you heal me

Oh
Heal me

Stars are aligned
They're in perfect harmony
Love is the poition
That you pour on me

Heal me
With your sweet and sexy ways
Feel me
Your touch is all I crave
I've been waiting for so long
For you to come along
And heal me

I've been waiting for so long
For you to come along

And heal me

Oh heal me

Won't you heal me

Maroon 5 - Daylight

Here I am waiting, I'll have to leave soon
Why am I holding on?
We knew this day would come, we knew it all along
How did it come so fast?

This is our last night but it's late
And I'm trying not to sleep
Cause I know, when I wake, I will have to slip away

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close

Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-woah
Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-woah

Here I am staring at your perfection
In my arms, so beautiful
The sky is getting bright, the stars are burning out
Somebody slow it down

This is way too hard, cause I know
When the sun comes up, I will leave
This is my last glance that will soon be memory

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close

Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-woah
Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-woah

I never wanted to stop because I don't wanna start all over, start all over,
I was afraid of the dark but now it's all that I want, all that I want, all that I want

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close

Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-woah
Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-woah
Oh-woah (yeah), oh-woah (yeah), oh-woah (yeah)
Oh-woah (yeah), oh-woah (yeah), oh-woah!

complication's my claim to fame
i can't believe there's another
constantly just another
and i can't avoid what i can't control
and i'm losing ground
still i can't stand down
i know, yeah, i know, yeah

i know you stay true when my world is false
everything around's breaking down to chaos
i always see you when my sight is lost
everything around's breaking down to chaos

i know you stay true when my world is false
everything around's breaking down to chaos
i always see you when my sight is lost
everything around's breaking down to chaos

it's hard to trust anyone again
after all the letdowns i've been through
haunted by what i've been through
air's still trapped while i still can't breathe
and i'm screaming out
give me help somehow
i know, yeah, i know, yeah

i know you stay true when my world is false
everything around's breaking down to chaos
i always see you when my sight is lost
everything around's breaking down to chaos

i know you stay true when my world is false
everything around's breaking down to chaos
i always see you when my sight is lost

i know you stay true
i know you stay

Rascal Flatts - My Wish

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

there's a hand at dusk
in the wake in the water it's mine
can you take the palm of it
for every time you change your mind
you are the flash of skin
seen through the leaves of anxious trees
the summer's touch just above the knee
just above the knee

there's architecture here
and there are mountain peaks
and places dwelled upon by those
who climb much higher than me
like so many miles you are compiled into books
of maps by men with pen
can you believe that we will all get old

it's getting old, i know, i know
i'll hold your hair back when you're sick
it's getting old, i know, i know
you still look good to me in that knee-length checkered dress
it's getting old, i know, i know
you still look good to me in that knee-length checkered dress
it's getting old, it's getting old

the sirens woke me up again
i know they're coming for me someday
just a matter of when
count to twenty-five and yawn
touch the clock and turn my back against the dawn
and hope for
that one dream
of hardware stores and checkered floors
and buckets full of nails
floating effortless
over the apartment in a boat
and rowing past the office windows

mother, mother, may i cry
father will you teach me how to die the right way someday
i don't want a second chance
to turn my stuttering reluctance into romance
with these documents
and kindergarten anthems
with my drunken liturgies
tune the fm in to static and pretend that it's the sea
but four words fumble for the microphone:
you should have known
you should have known

ease your trouble
we'll pay them double
not to look at you for a while

and you rely on
what you get high on
and you last just as long as it serves you

explode or implode
explode or implode
we will take care of it
explode or implode
explode or implode
we will take care of it
yes we will carry you

'cause you're deserted
what's good, you hurt it
and it kills you -- it keeps you alive

so give it up in
a world of puppets
it's a shame what they do to us all

explode or implode
explode or implode
we will take care of it
explode or implode
explode or implode
we will take care of it
yes we will carry you

can we do anything for you now?

Joe Nichols - Gimmie That Girl

Hang up that red dress,
Let down your hair,
Cancel those reservations
Don't need to go no where.
As good as your looking right now,
Girl bet your thinkin I'm crazy,
There's a side of you that I wanna see
That never ceases to amaze me.

Gimme that girl with the hair in a mess
Sleepy little smile with her head on my chest,
That's the you that I like best,
Gimme that girl.
Gimme that girl lovin up on me,
Old t-shirt and a pair of jeans,
That's the you I wanna see,
Gimme that girl, gimme that girl.

Gimme the girl thats beautiful,
Without a trace of makeup of on,
Barefoot in the kitchen,
Singing her favorite song.
Dancing around like a fool,
Starring in her own little show,
Gimme the girl the rest of the world,
Ain't lucky enough to know.

Gimme that girl with the hair in a mess
Sleepy little smile with her head on my chest,
That's the you that I like best,
Gimme that girl.
Gimme that girl lovin up on me,
Old t-shirt and a pair of jeans,
That's the you I wanna see,
Gimme that girl, gimme that girl.

Toby Keith - Hope On The Rocks

Brady was a baseball star
Til he struck out and took his car and drove away
Sissy lost her little boy
Hitch-hiked up to Illinois, so they say

Then it rained so hard that Mary tried
To take her life with suicide
And disappear just like the thunder
You ask around and no-one knows
Where they went or what they do
But you wonder, I know you wonder

Where do they go?
They come here
To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
They?re in need of a mindbender
I?m a bartender
At the end of the day
I?m all they?ve got
Hope on the rocks

Charlie?s wife filed for divorce
And Charlie bought a quarter horse and now he's ridin' fences,
Upside down and couldn?t pay
They hauled Sue's mobile home away
And we ain?t seen her since
Larry?s long time fianc?
Got kicked out of the P.T.A.
And moved her kids back east with someone else
All and the ones you used to know
Don?t drop in or say hello
But you ask yourself
I know you ask yourself

Where do they go?
They come here
To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
They?re in need of a mindbender
I?m a bartender
At the end of the day
I?m all they?ve got
Hope on the rocks

Where do they go?
They come here
To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
They?re in need of a mindbender
I?m a bartender
At the end of the day
I?m all they?ve got
Hope on the rocks

Gary Allan - Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)

So you're standing in the middle of the thunder and lightning
I know you're feeling like you just can't win, but you're trying
It's hard to keep on keepin' on, when you're being pushed around
Don't even know which way is up, you just keep spinning down, 'round, down?

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

So hold your head up and tell yourself that there's something more
And walk out that door,
Go find a new rose, don't be afraid of the thorns
'Cause we all have thorns
Just put your feet up to the edge, put your face in the wind
And when you fall back down, keep on rememberin'

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

It's gonna run out of pain
It's gonna run out of sting
It's gonna leave you alone
It's gonna set you free
Set you free

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

It's gonna set you free,
It's gonna run out of pain,
It's gonna set you free

Depeche Mode - Somebody

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She will hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear
Of those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

Brantley Gilbert - Hell On An Angel

They say I was baptized in dirty water
By the hands of the devil himself
Between the banks of a whiskey river
Beside the highway to hell

I got scars on my heart and knuckles
I got debts that I ain't pay
Yeah but I got a blessing that was sent down from heaven,
Baby you're my saving grace

Girl you've got an outlaw, ready to lay down all my guns
A dirty old hound dog, learnin' new tricks like cuddlin' up,
You've got a hellcat purrin' like a kitten,
You've got a sinner down on his knees
It had to be hell on an angel
Lovin' the devil out of me

Tell me how did you get under this leather skin I wear
Beneath the callouses and tattoos around the walls I built down there
To this heart I've long kept guarded, all alone I was free to fly
But it takes an angel to fly with a free bird
Baby we've got the sky

Girl you've got an outlaw, ready to lay down all my guns
A dirty old hound dog, learnin' new tricks like cuddlin' up,
You've got a hellcat purrin' like a kitten,
You've got a sinner down on his knees
It had to be hell on an angel
Lovin' the devil out of me

Hell on an angel
Come on boys

Girl you've got an outlaw, ready to lay down all my guns
A dirty old hound dog, learnin' new tricks like cuddlin' up,
You've got a hellcat purrin' like a kitten,
You've got a sinner down on his knees
It had to be hell on an angel
Lovin' the devil out of me

Sleeping With Sirens - If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn

Stay for tonight
If you want to
I can show you
What my dreams are made of,
as I'm dreaming of your face
I've been away for a long time
Such a long time
And I miss you there
I can't imagine being anywhere else
I can't imagine being anywhere else but here

How the hell did you ever pick me?
Honestly, I could sing you a song
But I don't think words can express your beauty
It's singing to me
How the hell did we end up like this?
You bring out the beast in me
I fell in love from the moment we kissed
Since then we've been history

They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me

It goes to show, I hope that you know that you are
What my dreams are made of
Can't fall asleep, can't fall asleep
I lay in my bed awake, in my bed awake at night
As I dream of you
I'll fall in love, you'll fall in love
It could mean everything, everything to me
I can't imagine being anywhere else

They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me

The way that we are
It's the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know we'll be Ok
The way that we are
It's the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know I'll be Ok

They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me

(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay as long as you need

(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay forever with me

and if i can make it home tonight
don't leave it up to me again to feel fine
and if i can make it home alright
give me the day or so to rest my mind

but listen, baby, when you tell me everything's alright
i stay up all night
and baby, when you tell me that it's me this time
i don't close my eyes
i sacrifice a little peace of mind

is love like this always?
is love like this always?

and if i can make it up to you
there's nothing i won't do
to make it feel brand new
so i'll leave it up to you

but listen, baby, when you tell me everything's alright
well i stay up all night
and baby, when you tell me that it's me this time
i don't close my eyes
i sacrifice a little peace of mind

love like this

it was a long road -- took me away from you
but it's a long road and it's longer for you

oh baby, you're still alive when you could've died
the world is not round because of you
you know i'm not around because of you

you've got a mouthful of diamonds
and a pocketful of secrets
i know you're never telling anyone
because the patterns they control your mind
those patterns take away my time
hello goodbye

wasted -- you tell the truth when you could've lied
troubles are on the rise 'cause you're in disguise
and if it isn't me then pack your bags and leave
i wish i could believe the devils won't take you back out to the salty seas

you've got a mouthful of diamonds
and a pocketful of secrets
i know you're never telling anyone
because the patterns they control your mind
those patterns take away my time

there's nothing much to take
i'm an absolute beginner
and i'm absolutely sane
as long as we're together
the rest can go to hell
i absolutely love you
but we're absolute beginners
with eyes completely open
but nervous all the same

if our love song
could fly over mountains
could laugh at the ocean
just like the films
there's no reason
to feel all the hard times
to lay down the hard lines
it's absolutely true

nothing much could happen
nothing we can't shake
oh we're absolute beginners
with nothing much at stake
as long as you're still smiling
there's nothing more i need
i absolutely love you
but we're absolute beginners
but if my love is your love
we're certain to succeed

if our love song
could fly over mountains
sail over heartaches
just like the films
there's no reason
to feel all the hard times
to lay down the hard lines
it's absolutely true

Carrie Underwood - Angels Brought Me Here

It's been a long and winding journey
But I'm finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces
And walking back into the night
Into the sunset of your glory
Where my heart and future lies
There's nothing like that feeling
When I look into your eyes

My dreams came true
When I found you
I found you
My miracle...

If you could see what I see
You're the answers to my prayers
If you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know it would be clear
That angels brought me here

Standing here before you
Feels like I've been born again
Every breathe is ur love
Every heartbeat speaks your name

My dreams came true
Right here in front of you
My miracle...

If you could see what I see
You're the answers to my prayers
If you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know it would be clear
That angels brought me here

They brought me here to be with you
I'll be forever greatful-grateful
Oh forever faithful
My dreams came true
When I found you
My miracle...

If you could see what I see
You're the answers to my prayers
If you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know it would be clear
That angels brought me here

Carrie Underwood - So Small

Yeah, Yeah

What you got if you ain't got love
the kind that you just want to give away
It's okay to open up
go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
you want to shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith

'Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
seem so small

It's so easy to get lost inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it's like a river that's so wide
it swallows you whole
While you sit around thinking about what you can't change
and worrying about all the wrong things
time's flying by
moving so fast
you better make it count 'cause you can't get it back

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh it sure makes everything else
Seem so small

Jordin Sparks - This Is My Now

There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself

There was a time when I was so afraid
I thought I?d reached the end
Baby that was then
But I am made of more than my yesterdays

This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can?t believe the love I see
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now.

Had to decide was I gonna play it safe
Or look somewhere deep inside
and try to turn the tide
Find the strength to take that step of faith

This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can?t believe the love I see
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now.

And I have the courage like never before, yeah
I?ve settled for less but ready for more
Ready for more

I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me

You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time

I have always dreamed of this
I'll admit that there was something I missed
Wonderin' if it is for real
Every mistake, every wrong turn
Every time I lost my way
Led me to this, moment of bliss, tonight

With you, finally I can break free

I didn't stop, didn't give up
Even if I sometimes lost hope
I did my best, and I am blessed
In life

Tell me, does it get any stronger?

I never could've done it, without you

The Used - Smother Me

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time
Surely you can take some comfort
Knowing that you're mine
Just hold me tight, lay by my side
and let me be the one who calls you
Baby all the time

I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of
my days
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

Let me be the one who never leaves
You all alone
I hold my breath and lose the feeling
That I'm on my own
Hold me too tight stay by my side
and let me be the one who calls you
Baby all the time

I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of
my days
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

When I'm alone time goes so slow
I need you here with me
and how my mistakes have made
Your heart break
Still I need you here with me
Baby I'm here

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time

Let me be the one who calls you baby
The one who calls you baby

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

Keith Urban - Making Memories Of Us

I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way

I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us

Carrie Underwood - Inside Your Heaven

I've been down
Now I'm blessed
I felt a revelation coming around
I guess its right, it's so amazing
Everytime I see you I'm alive
You're all I've got
You lift me up
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes

I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

When we touch, when we love
The stars light up
The wrong becomes undone
Naturally, my soul surrenders
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes

And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in
A soothing wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

When minutes turn to days and years
If mountains fall, I'll still be here
Holdin you until the day I die
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away

I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
Oh yes I do
I wanna be inside your heaven

Keith Urban - Got It Right This Time

She believes in me like I've been trying to do
I'm seeing things I've never seen before
Ever since she came into my life
I've been a better man

Run, run running, I was running scared
Always looking for a place to leave
And I couldn't seem to find where I belonged
'til she took my hand

We can make this work out, baby
I know it's true
I can't picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time
Oh, yeah

All of my life I've been looking for someone
Who believes in love the way I do
And I know I've made my share of big mistakes
But girl I promise you

We can make this work out, baby
I know it's true
I can't picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time

True believers always find each other and here we are
Always knew that you were out there just waiting on me
For me to find my way, find my way to your heart
Oh, yeah

We can make it work out, baby
I know it's true
Can't picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time

Yeah, after all the crazy days
Made it through
I can't picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time

Kenny Chesney - You Had Me From Hello

One word, that's all you said
Something in your voice called me, turned my head
Your smile, just captured me
You were in my future as far as I could see
And I don't know how it happens, but it happens still
You asked me if I love you, if I always will

Well you had me from hello
I felt love start to grow
The moment I looked into your eyes you won me
It was over from the start you completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know
You had me from hello

Inside I built a wall
So high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall
One touch, you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me I wasn't going to love again
The last time was the last time I'd let someone in

But you had me from hello
I felt love start to grow
The moment I looked into your eyes you won me
It was over from the start you completely stole my heart
And now you wont let go
I never even had a chance you know
You had me from hello

That's all you said
Something in your voice calls me, turns my head
You had me from hello
You had me from hello
Girl, I've loved you from hello

Anne Murray - Could I Have This Dance

I'll always remember,
the song they were playing,
The first time we danced and I knew

As we swayed to the music,
and held to each other,
I fell in love with you

Could I have this dance
for the rest of my life,
Could you be my partner
every night,
when we're together
it feels so right,
Could I have this dance
for the rest of my life

I'll always remember,
that magic moment,
When I held you close to me

As we move together,
I knew forever,
you're all I'll ever need

Could I have this dance
for the rest of my life,
Could you be my partner
every night,
when we're together
it feels so right,
Could I have this dance
for the rest of my life

Could I have this dance
for the rest of my life,
Could you be my partner
every night,
when we're together
it feels so right,
Could I have this dance
for the rest of my life!!

Really just being posted because it's the coolest play on words ever and I love this song. <3!

Brad Paisley - Southern Comfort Zone

When your wheelhouse is the land of cotton,
The first time you leave it can be strange, it can be shocking

Not everybody drives a truck, not everybody drinks sweet tea
Not everybody owns a gun, wears a ball cap boots and jeans
Not everybody goes to church or watches every nascar race
Not everybody knows the words to "Ring Of Fire" or "Amazing Grace"

Oh, Dixie Land,
I hope you understand
When I miss my Tennessee Home
And I've been away way too long
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside my Southern Comfort Zone

I have walked the streets of Rome, I have been to foreign lands
I know what it's like to talk and have nobody understand
I have seen the Eiffel Tower lit up on a Paris night
I have kissed a West Coast girl underneath the Northern Lights
I know what it's like to be the only one like me,
To take a good hard look around and be a minority

And I Miss my Tennessee home
I can see the ways that I grown
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside my Southern Comfort Zone

I miss your biscuits and your gravy
Fireflies dancing in the night
You have fed me and saved me
Billy Graham and Martha White

I have since become a drifter
And I just can't wait to pack
Cause I know the route I leave on
It will always bring me back

I wish I was in Dixie Again
I miss my Tennessee Home
I've been away way too long
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside My Southern Comfort Zone

Look away, look away

I wish I was in Dixie, away, look away

Craig Morgan - God Must Really Love Me

There's been times I've let my faith run thin
Not been the man I should have been
After all the trouble I've been in, I'da gave up on me
I've lived hard and I've lived fast
Lost things I will never get back
Cause someone to look past all of that
God must really love me

When I look at the miracles around me
At the way that I live and the way He forgives
I know He's up there smiling down on me
And I believe the only reason why
I'm still alive is
God must really love me

Wake up and feel you by my side
The perfect girl, the perfect time
And see the way our future shines
God must really love me

When I look at the miracles around me
At the dream that I live and the gift that he gives
I know he's up there smiling down on me
And I believe the only reason why
I get to live this life is God must really love me

When I showed the worst, He saw the best
He pulled the world right off my chest
Every day I wake up I feel blessed
Yeah, I feel so blessed
God must really love me
God must really love me
God must really love me

Travis Tritt - Can I Trust You With My Heart

When you meet that certain someone,
You've been searchin hard to find...
It's a new love full of passion,
That can sometimes make you blind.
I don't mind being swept away,
If I know right from the start...
So before we go much further girl,
Can I trust you with my heart?

In the time we've spent together,
I have learned to trust in you.
So many things you given....
Before I even asked you to.
But reality and romance,
Are sometimes far apart.
So, what I really need to know is...
Can I trust you with my heart?

Can I cast my cares upon you?
Can you stand the heavy load?
Can I count on you to walk me, down that long and winding road?
If you promise me these simple things, I can guarantee...
You can always count on me.

Can I cast my cares upon you?
Can you stand the heavy load?
Can I count on you to walk me, down that long and winding road?
When two hearts solely surrender, and are sworn to understand...
It completes a perfect union, between a woman and a man.
So please don't misunderstand me,
I don't want to go too far,
Without knowing just one answer...
Can I trust you with my heart?
Please Girl...
Give me just one answer...
Can I trust you with my heart?

Kellie Pickler - Makin' Me Fall In Love Again

People will tell you that this kind of love will fade

Everyday with you is always somethin' new
Only gotta be yourself
And there you go makin' me fall in love again

Shania Twain - Forever And For Always

In your arms I can still feel the way you
want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered
when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms

And there ain't no way--
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way--
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day....

'Cause I'm keeping you
forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every
morning to your sweet face--always

Mmmm, baby
In your heart--I can still hear
a beat for every time you kiss me
And when we're apart,
I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart

And there ain't no way--
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't now way--
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day....

(I wanna wake up every morning)

In your eyes--(I can still see
the look of the one) I can still see
the look of the one who really loves me
(I can still feel the way that you want)
The one who wouldn't put anything
else in the world above me
(I can still see love for me) I can
still see love for me in your eyes
(I still see the love)

And there ain't no way--
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way--
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day....

I'm keeping you forever and for always
I'm in your arms

Josh Turner - Why Don't We Just Dance

Baby why don't we just turn that TV off?
Three hundred fifteen channels
Of nothing but bad news on
Well, it might be me, but the way I see it
The whole wide world has gone crazy
So baby, why don't we just dance?

Guess the little bitty living room ain't gonna look like much
When the lights go down and we move the couch
It's gonna be more than enough
For my two left feet and our two hearts beatin'
Nobody's gonna see us go crazy
So baby, why don't we just dance?

Down the hall, maybe straight up the stairs
Bouncin' off the wall, floatin' on air
Baby, why don't we just dance?

Baby, why don't you go put your best dress on?
Those high heeled shoes you love to lose
As soon as the tunes come on
On second thought, just the way you are
Is already drivin' me crazy
So baby, why don't we just dance?

Down the hall, maybe straight up the stairs
Bouncin' off the wall, floatin' on air
Baby, why don't we just dance?
I'll cut a rug

Well it might be me but the way I see it
The whole wide world has gone crazy
So baby, why don't we just dance?
Oh baby, why don't we just dance?

Blake Shelton - Some Beach

Driving down the interstate
Running thirty minutes late
Singing Margaritaville and minding my own
Some foreign car driver dude with the road rage attitude
Pulled up beside me talking on his cell phone
He started yelling at me like I did something wrong
He flipped me the bird an' then he was gone

Some beach
Somewhere
There's a big umbrella casting shade over a empty chair
Palm trees are growing and a warm breezes a blowing
I picture myself right there
On Some beach, somewhere

I circled the parking lot trying to find a spot
Just big enough I could park my old truck
A man with a big cigar was getting into his car
I stopped and I waited for him to back up
From out of no where a Mercedes Benz
Came cruising up and whipped right in

Some beach
Somewhere
There's no where to go when you got all day to get there
There's cold margaritas and hot Senioritas smiling with long dark hair
On some beach
Somewhere

I sat in that waiting room
It seemed like all afternoon
The nurse finally said doc's ready for you
you're not gonna feel a thing we'll give you some novocain
That tooth will be fine in a minute or two
But he stuck that needle down deep in my gum
And he started drilling before I was numb

Some beach
Somewhere
There's a beautiful sunset burning up that atmosphere
There's music and dancing and lovers romancing
In the salty evening air
On some beach
Somewhere
On some beach, somewhere

Uncle Kracker - Smile

You're better than the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flip-side of my pillow (that's right)
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Let's me know that it's okay (yea, it's okay)
And the moments when my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed
Sing like a bird,
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record,
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like fool,
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold,
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along just like a flower pokin through the sidewalk crack
And just like that
You steal away the rain
And just like that

Don't know how I lived without you
'Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like fool, Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh you make me smille
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh you make me smille

Raye Collin - And I Love You So

And I love you so
People ask me how
How I've lived til now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

And yes I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief

And yes I know how loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening bring me down
Now that you're around me

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived til now
I tell them I don't know

Lee Brice - Hard To Love

I am insensitive, I have a tendency
To pay more attention to the things that I need.
Sometimes I drink too much, sometimes I test your trust,
Sometimes I don't know why you stay with me.

I'm hard to love, hard to love,
No, I don't make it easy,
I couldn't do it if I stood where you stood
I'm hard to love, hard to love,
You say that you need me,
I don't deserve it but I love that you love me, girl.

I am a short fuse, I am a wrecking ball
Crashing into your heart like I do
You're like a Sunday morning full of grace and full of Jesus
I wish that I could be more like you.

I'm hard to love, hard to love,
No, I don't make it easy,
I couldn't do it if I stood where you stood,
I'm hard to love, hard to love,
You say that you need me,
I don't deserve it but I love that you love me, girl.
Love me, girl.

Girl, you've given me a million second chances
And I don't ever wanna take you for granted,
I'm just a man, I'm just a man

Hard to love, hard to love,
Oh, I don't make it easy
And I couldn't do it if I stood where you stood.
I'm hard to love, hard to love
And you say that you need me,
I don't deserve it but I love that you love me, girl

You love me, girl.

Ain't nothin' goin' on in town tonight.
Except a loud party crowd drinkin' too much beer, so baby tell me would it be alright if we just take a little rain check and stay right here.
I'm sure we could find somethin' to do, as a matter of fact baby why don't you grab a couple glasses and a bottle of wine.
Walk down the hall and turn down the lights, and baby while you're at it you might as well let down your hair and I can take if from there.
Yeah I can take it from there.

I'm gonna put an ol' record on, Conway Twitty.
Yeah girl I'd love to lay you down.
Kill the ringer on the telephone, ain't gonna stop lovin' you til the candle burns out.
Oh there it is, that little smile of yours.
Come on, baby, what you waitin' for.
Grab a couple glasses and a bottle of wine, walk down the hall and turn down the lights, and baby while you're at it you might as well let down your hair.
And I can take it from there.

Tomorrow's gonna be here way too soon.
Let's not waste another minute girl, I got plans for me and you.
Just grab a couple glasses and that bottle of wine, walk down the hall and darlin' turn down those lights.
Baby while you're at it you might as well let down your hair.
And I can take it from there.

The Band Perry - Independence

Patient anticipation
Up till now I've been hurry up and waiting
At a bus stop in independence licking an ice cream cone
I've been kicking I've been scheming
This is as close as I've ever been to leaving
Five blocks away, a stone's throw from home
But I'm as good as gone

I gotta get gone, gone, gone
Shooting like a gun, a gun, a gun
Skipping like a stone, stone, stone
Far as I can run to where freedom is free
There's a road like a long gray ribbon far as I can see
And it's pulling independence out of me

Emancipation or paper chasing
Leaving with question marks and Momma's blessing
Put her picture in my pocket along with her rosary
Some say I'm crazy, a little loco
And most of my friends will live and die in this zip code
It might be for me but until I go
How am I ever supposed to know?

I gotta get gone, gone, gone
Shooting like a gun, a gun, a gun
Skipping like a stone, stone, stone
Far as I can run to where freedom is free
There's a road like a long gray ribbon far as I can see

I'm busting out of independence
Independence's busting out of me
I'm busting out of independence
Independence's busting out of me

I gotta get gone, gone, gone
Shooting like a gun, a gun, a gun
Skipping like a stone, stone, stone
Far as I can run to where freedom is free
There's a road like a long gray ribbon far as I can see
There's a road like a long gray ribbon far as I can see
And it's pulling independence out of me.
Independence.

no one knows what it's like
to be the bad man
to be the sad man
behind blue eyes

no one knows what it's like
to be hated
to be fated
to telling only lies

but my dreams
they aren't as empty
as my conscience seems to be

i have hours
only lonely
my love is vengeance
that's never free

no one knows what it's like
to feel these feelings
like i do
and i blame you

no one bites back as hard
on their anger
none of my pain and woe
can show through

but my dreams
they aren't as empty
as my conscience seems to be

i have hours
only lonely
my love is vengeance
that's never free

when my fist clenches
crack it open
before i use it
and lose my cool

when i smile
tell me some bad news
before i laugh
and act like a fool

and if i swallow
anything evil
put your finger
down my throat

and if i shiver
please give me a blanket
keep me warm
let me wear your coat

no one knows what it's like
to be the bad man
to be the sad man
behind blue eyes

-- "behind blue eyes," the who

Josh Turner - Would You Go With Me

Would you go with me if we rolled down streets of fire
Would you hold on to me tighter as the summer sun got higher
If we roll from town to town and never shut it down

Would you go with me if we were lost in fields of clover
Would we walk even closer until the trip was over
And would it be okay if I didn't know the way

If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Let me know if you're really a dream
I love you so, so would you go with me

Would you go with me if we rode the clouds together
Could you not look down forever
If you were lighter than a feather
Oh, and if I set you free, would you go with me

If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Help me tie up the ends of a dream
I gotta know, would you go with me
I love you so, so would you go with me

You really oughta know that I
Just have to walk away sometimes
We're gonna do what lovers do
We're gonna have a fight or two
But I ain't ever changin' my mind

Crazy girl, don't you know that I love you?
And I wouldn't dream of goin' nowhere
Silly woman, come here, let me hold you
Have I told you lately?
I love you like crazy, girl

Wouldn't last a single day
I'd probably just fade away
Without you, I'd lose my mind
Before you ever came along
I was livin' life all wrong
Smartest thing I ever did was make you all mine

Crazy girl, don't you know that I love you?
And I wouldn't dream of goin' nowhere
Silly woman, come here, let me hold you
Have I told you lately?
I love you like crazy, girl

Crazy girl

Crazy girl, don't you know that I love you?
And I wouldn't dream of goin' nowhere
Silly woman, come here, let me hold you
Have I told you lately,
I love you like

Crazy, girl, don't you know that I love you?
And I wouldn't dream of goin' nowhere
Silly woman, come here, let me hold you
Have I told you lately?
I love you like crazy, girl

Like crazy
Crazy girl
Like crazy
Crazy girl
Like crazy

Heidi Newfield - Johnny & June

Oh there's something 'bout a man in black,
Makes me want to buy a Cadillac,
Throw the top back,
And roll down to Jackson town,
I wanna be there on the stage with you,
You and I could be the next rage to,
Hear the crowd roar,
Make 'em one more,
I'll kick the footlights out,

I wanna love like Johnny & June,
Rings of fire burnin' with you,
I wanna walk the line,
Walk the line,
'Till the end of time,
I wanna love,
Love ya that much,
Cash it all in,
Give it all up,
When you're gone,
I wanna go too,
Like Johnny & June,

I wanna hold you baby right or wrong,
Build a world around a country song,
Pray a sweet prayer,
Follow you there,
Down in history,

I wanna love like Johnny & June,
Rings of fire burnin' with you,
I wanna walk the line,
Walk the line,
'Till the end of time,
I wanna love,
Love ya that much,
Cash it all in,
Give it all up,
When you're gone,
I wanna go too,
Like Johnny & June,

Like Johnny & June,
More than life itself,
No-one else,
This here is promise,
They don't make love like that anymore,
Is that too much to be askin' for,

I wanna love like Johnny & June,
Rings of fire burnin' with you,
I wanna walk the line,
Walk the line,
'Till the end of time,
I wanna love,
Love ya that much,
Cash it all in,
Give it all up,
When you're gone,
I wanna go too,
Like Johnny & June,

Like Johnny & June,
And when we're gone,
There'll be no tears to cry,
Only memories of our lives,
They'll remember, remember,
A love like that.

George Strait - I Cross My Heart

Our love is unconditional, we knew it from the start.
I see it in your eyes, you can feel it from my heart.
From here on after let's stay the way we are right now,
And share all the love and laughter that a lifetime will allow.

I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete,
And as long as there's a breath in me, I'll make yours just as sweet.
As we look into the future, it's as far as we can see,
So let's make each tomorrow be the best that it can be.

I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

And if along the way we find a day it starts to storm,
You've got the promise of my love to keep you warm.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine,
A love as true as mine.

The Band Perry - All Your Life

Would you walk to the edge of the ocean
Just to fill my jar with sand
Just in case I get the notion
To let it run through my hand
Let it run through my hand

Well, I don't want the whole world
The sun, the moon, and all their light
I just want to be the only girl
You love all your life
You love all your life

Would you catch a couple thousand fireflies
Yeah, put them in a lamp to light my world
All dressed up in a tux and bowtie
Hand deliver to a lonely girl
To a lonely lonely girl

Well, I don't want the whole world
The sun, the moon, and all their light
I just want to be the only girl
You love all your life
You love all your life

Lately I've been writing desperate love songs
Mostly I sing them to the walls,
You could be the center piece of my obsession
If you would notice me, I
Ohh yeah

Well I don't want the whole world
The sun, the moon, and all their light
I just want to be the only girl
You love all your life
You love all your life

You love all your life
Life
Yeah

Lee Ann Womack - I Found It In You

Everybody needs a reason to believe
Something to keep 'em going
To set their soul on fire
And make 'em feel alive
It's their inspiration

Some find it in living off the land
Some find it in working for the man
Some find it with a bottle in their hand
That's what gets 'em through
Some find it in a shiny limousine
Some find it in the magazines they read
Some find happiness is out of reach
No matter what they do
Baby, that's not me
I found it in you

I always wondered when
My search was gonna end
And I'd find what I'd been missin'
Now everything you are
It goes right to my heart
And it feeds this passion

You're my journey's end
My solid ground
You're what I could never live without

I found it in you

Brad Paisley - Little Moments

Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red
And she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad
Yeah I live for little moments like that

Well that's just like this last year on my birthday
She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the house was goin' off
And she was just about to cry until I took her in my arms
And I tried not to let her see me laugh
Yeah I live for little moments like that

I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for me
And I thank god that she isn't 'cause how boring would that be
It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin' hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that

When she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it 'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb
But she looks so much like an angel that I don't wanna wake her up
Yeah I live for little moments
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it
Yeah I live for little moments like that

Taylor Swift - I'm Only Me When I'm With You

Friday night beneath the stars,
in a field behind your yard,
you and I are paintin' pictures in the sky.
And sometimes we don't say a thing;
just listen to the crickets sing.
Everything I need is right here by my side.
And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you.

I'm only up when you're not down.
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me when I'm with you.

Just a small town boy and girl
livin' in a crazy world.
Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true.
And I don't try to hide my tears.
The secrets or my deepest fears.
Through it all nobody gets me like you do.
And you know everything about me.
You say that you can't live without me.

When I'm with anybody else it's so hard to be myself.
Only you can tell.

That I'm only up when you're not down.
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I'm only me when I'm with you
With you
Uh huh
Yeah

A crop's got rain, dirt and sun, to make 'em grow
A song's got rhyme, a clock's got time
You got me and baby

What my arms are wrapped around, that's enough
Your morning smile, your kiss goodnight

Luke Bryan - My First Love Song

Ridin' down the road listenin' to the radio
You leaned over and you turned it up
You said, "Baby this is it,
The one I wanted you to hear.
Don't it sound just like us?"

Up 'til then, all I'd ever listened to was
a little "Sweet Home...," "Tuesday's Gone,"
and "Working Man Blues."

This is my first love song
First time I felt the words
First time I sang along
Whenever it comes on
I just think of you and everything you do
You're my one, my from-now-on
My first love song

Baby I'm not who I was
You gave me your love and it woke me up,
made me more aware of somethin' deep inside
Somethin' that I have,
A life I want to share
And I'll rememebr this as long as I live
Every note, every word, every single kiss

This is my first love song
First time I felt the words,
First time I sang along
Whenever it comes on,
I just think of you and everything you do
You're my one, my from now on..
My first love song

Baby...
Yeah baby
My first love song

Gretchen Wilson - All Jacked Up

Well, 5:30 pm rolls around, there's a lil ol' joint outside of town
Only got time for just a couple of beers
And a jukebox song ringing in my ears
The next thing you know the bartenders pouring,
shots are flowing, got me stone man
All I really know is that I should be going
But I'm soaking up the moment

And I'm all jacked up (all jacked up)
I'm all jacked up (all jacked up)
Don't believe I've ever had this much
One thing I've learned when you get tore up
Time sure flies when you're all jacked up

It was getting mighty close to 9 o'clock
What the hell I'll have one more shot
Then I winked at a boy at the end of the bar
Guess I might of must of gone a lil too far
Cause a big ol' girl walked outta the blue
Ten foot two with a bad attitude
Stepped right up and knocked out my tooth
I guess I had it coming I deserved it too

Cause I was all jacked up (all jacked up)
All jacked up (all jacked up)
Don't believe I've ever had this much
One thing I've learned when you get tore up,
Don't start no stuff when you're all jacked up

Don't have to go home but you can't stay here
That's what they said when I got my last beer
Oh my god it's 2 o'clock
I can't find my keys and my truck's locked
So I grab a tire tool and I broke my window, hurt my elbow, got me in though
2 Foot later backed into the light pole
All the town folk got a good show

All jacked up (all jacked up)
All jacked up (all jacked up)
Don't believe I've ever had this much
One thing I've learned when you get tore up
Don't drive your truck when you're all jacked up

Jacked up (all jacked up)
(All jacked up)

One thing I've learned when you get tore up,
Don't start no stuff when your all jacked up
One thing I've learned when you get tore up
Don't drive your car
don't start no stuff in no bar
Hell I wouldn't even tell anybody where you are
When your all jacked up
(all jacked up)
All jacked up

Just to watch the little boys come undone
I'm here for the beer and the ball busting band
Gonna get a little crazy just because I can

And if I gave em half a chance for some rowdy romance you know they would

So bring on them cowboys and their pick up lines

And I ain't leavin' til they throw me out
Gonna have a little fun gonna get me some

Miranda Lambert - Fastest Girl In Town

You?ve got the bullets
I?ve got the gun.
I?ve got a hankering for getting into something

I hit the bottle, you hit the gas,
I heard your 65 can really haul some a*s.

I?m feeling frisky, you're feeling good
I guess the whiskey is doing what it should
I got the cigarettes
You?ve got a lighter
And when the sun goes down we?ll start a little fire

Ain?t no use in trying to slow me down
?Cause you?re running with the fastest girl in town

Ain?t you baby?
I like ?em crazy.

My reputation follows me around
Just makes me want to give them more to talk about
Let?s go to town for a little while
I?ll be wearing nothing but a tattoo and a smile

Ain?t no use in trying to slow me down
?Cause you?re running with the fastest girl in town

Ain?t you baby?
You?re kinda crazy.

Come on!

I see the blue lights, we better run.
Throw out the bottle and I?ll hide the gun
If he pulls us over I?ll turn on the charm
You?ll be in the slammer and I?ll be on his arm.

Ain?t no use in trying to slow me down
?Cause you?re running with the fastest girl in town

Ain?t you baby?
Well I told you I was crazy.
No I ain?t no body?s baby.
Hey!

I can do most anything a man can do
I can hold my liquor with the best of you
Even take your money in a game of pool
Yeah, I'd kick your butt if I wanted to
I don't mind when people cuss in front of me
Truth is I don't blush that much at anything
But I still got this little girl inside of me
That likes to be treated like a queen

I know I don't act much like a lady
But I still need to be somebody's baby
Yeah you might find me making too much noise
But I'm more than just one of the boys
Yeah, I'm more than just one of the boys

God knows I ain't ever been the clingy type
Looking for a man to make it all alright
But I don't mind admitting sometimes late at night
Well I need someone to hold me tight

My granddaddy ran moonshine
Till the day he died
Left behind his children
And a 45
Well that outlaw stuff
Runs through my blood
I was raised to be tough
I was born to run

Pray like a saint
And run like a rebel

Speak my mind
And act like a lady

And you can't ever tell me nothing
Oh, loving a girl like me

Baby hold on tight
Cause this life I'm living
Is one crazy ride

It's who I am and I won't slow down

Fight like hell
And love like an angel
Pray like a saint
And run like a rebel
Live each day like there's no tomorrow
Speak my mind
And act like a lady
I'll always be my mama's baby
And you can't ever tell me nothing
Oh, loving a girl like me

Don't need no copy of Vogue magazine
Don't need to dress like no beauty queen
High heels or sneakers he don't give a damn
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am

He never tells me I'm not good enough
Just give me unconditional love
He loves me tender and he loves me mad
He loves me silly and he loves me sad

He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
He's always sayin' he's my biggest fan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am

When there's dark clouds in my eyes
He just sits back and lets 'em roll on by
I come in like a lion and go out like a lamb
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am

He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
He's always sayin' he's my biggest fan
My baby loves me just the way that I am

Kevin Fowler - Hard Man To Love

A phone call in the middle of the night, it never came
She's been walkin' on pins and needles waitin' for the phone to ring
To put her mind at ease
The suns' comin' up and I'm comin' in
With another "I'm sorry, won't happen again"
I can't understand why she never ran
When anybody in their right mind would

Yeah I'm a hard man to love
But thank God she does
Keep holdin' on, bein' strong
When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough
Soft as silk she stands
By her barbed wire man
She's never given up
I'm A hard man to love

There's a dog house rose that God knows I didn't send soon enough
Sittin' in the middle of a crippled kitchen table barely standing up from where I kicked it once
It ain't pretty enough to make up for me messin' up the only love a man could ever need
She shines forgiveness from her patient eyes
I don't see what they see in me

Yeah I'm a hard man to love
But thank God she does
Keep holdin' on, bein' strong
When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough
Soft as silk she stands
By her barbed wire man
She's never given up
I'm A hard man to love

But I found someone tough enough to love a man like me
In spite of the tears she's cried and the time she's tried so hard to love

This hard man to love
But thank God she does
Keep holdin' on, bein' strong
When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough
Soft as silk she stands
By her barbed wire man
She's never given up
I'm A hard man to love

No she's never given up
On this hard man to love

John Michael Montgomery - I Love The Way You Love Me

I like the feel of your name on my lips
And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss
The way that your fingers run through my hair
And how your scent lingers even when your not there

And I like the way your eyes dance when you laugh
And how you enjoy your two hour bath
And how you convinced me to dance in the rain
With everyone watching like we were insane

But I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me

I like to imitate old Jerry Lee
And watch you roll your eyes when I'm slightly off key
And I like the innocent way that you cry
At sappy old movies you've seen hundreds of times

But I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me

And I could list a million things
I love to like about you
But they all come down to one reason
I could never live without you

I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me
Oh baby I love the way you love me

Lady Antebellum - I Run To You

I run from hate
I run from prejudice
I run from pessimists
But I run too late
I run my life
Or is it running me
Run from my past
I run too fast
Or too slow it seems
When lies become the truth
That's when I run to you

This world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to you
I run to you baby
And when it all starts coming undone
Baby you're the only one I run to
I run to you

We run on fumes
Your life and mine
Like the sands of time
Slippin' right on through
And our love's the only truth
That's why I run to you

Blake Shelton - God Gave Me You

I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm blows through
And I need you

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you

There's more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
And I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you
Yeah!

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you

On my own I'm only
Half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you, gave me you
He gave me you

Muse - I Belong To You / Mon C?ur S'ouvre ? Ta Voix

When these pillars get pulled down
It will be you who wears the crown
And I'll owe everything to you

How much pain has cracked your soul?
How much love would make you whole?
You're my guiding lightning strike

I can't find the words to say
They're overdue
I've traveled half the world to say
I belong to you

Then she attacks me like a Leo
When my heart is split like Rio
But I assure you my debts are real

I can't find the words to say
When I'm confused
I traveled half the world to say
You are my muse...

Ahhh! R?ponds, r?ponds ? ma tendresse
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse
R?ponds ? ma tendresse
R?ponds ? ma tendresse
Ahhh! Verse-moi l'ivresse
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse
R?ponds ? ma tendresse
R?ponds ? ma tendresse
Ahhh! Verse-moi l'ivresse

I belong
I belong to you alone

I can't find the words to say
They're overdue
I've traveled half the world to say
I belong to you

The Hush Sound - You Are The Moon

Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark
Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms
Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel all alone?
The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone

You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear
It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier
All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas
The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe

I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact
So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass
I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky
You will see your beauty every moment that you rise

Paul McDonald - All I've Ever Needed

My bed sheets feel empty
When you're not home
Your heartbeat helps me sleep
Your breath soothes my soul

Baby, you?re all
Baby, you?re all
Baby, you?re all I've ever needed
You're all I've ever needed

I love you more than I knew
I could ever love someone
And got it all so deep
I can barely even breathe
If I need a shelter from the storm

Baby, you?re all
Baby, you?re all
Baby, you?re all I've ever needed
Baby, you?re all
Baby, you?re all
Baby, you?re all I've ever needed

Every promise I made
Has lead us up to this day
Please, remember my love
When you've forgotten your way

And this ache in my heart
Makes me want to stand tall
I let them take me down
What if this isn't my fault
Tell me it?s not my fault
Tell me it?s not my fault

Baby, you?re all
Baby, you?re all
Baby, you?re all I've ever needed
Baby, you?re all
Baby, you?re all
Baby, you?re all I've ever needed
You're all I've ever needed

I love you more than I knew
I could ever love someone
Baby, you?re all
Baby, you?re all
Baby, you?re all I've ever needed

Rascal Flatts - I Melt

When you light those candles
Up there on that mantle, setting the mood
Well, I just lie there staring
Silently preparing to love on you
Well, I can feel the heat from across the room
Ain't it wild what a little flame can make you wanna do

I melt every time you look at me that way
It never fails, anytime, any place
This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt
I melt

Don't know how you do it
I love the way I lose it, every time
What's even better
Is knowing that forever you're all mine
The closer you get, the more my body aches
One little stare from you is all it takes

I melt every time you look at me that way
It never fails, anytime, any place
This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt
I melt

Every time you look at me that way
I melt, I melt

Keith Urban - Your Everything

The first time I looked in your eyes I knew
That I would do anything for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
Like I've never felt with anyone else

I wana give back what you've givin' to me
And I wanna witness all of your dreams
Now that you've shown me who I really am
I wanna be more then just your man

I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...

When you wake up, I'll be the first thing you see
And when it gets dark you can reach out for me
I'll cherish your words and I'll finish your thoughts
And I'll be your compass baby, when you get lost

I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...

Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...
I wanna be your everything

Pat Green - Let Me

Keep your head there on my shoulder
Let?s just lay here for awhile
We can hurry when we?re older
And girl, don?t worry about tomorrow
That just seems so far away
Love for me, me and you,
All that we have to do is follow
just follow

Let me be the one who sets your feet up on a road where you?ve never been
oh, and baby then
You can let me take these arms and wrap you up inside a night that will never end
I want to be that man
if you let me
C?mon, baby, let me

Baby, leave those candles burning
Slide on over here to me
If you run with me, girl
You know we?ll make this world stop turning
just stop turning

Let me be the one who sets your feet up on a road where you?ve never been
oh, and baby then
you can let me take these arms and wrap you up inside a night that will never end
Well, I can be that man
if you let me
Oh, whoa

Sweet baby, let me

Trisha Yearwood - I'll Still Love You More

Ask me how much you mean to me
And I wouldn't even know where to start
Ask if this love runs deep in me
And you won't find a deeper love in any heart

You could say you couldn't live one day without me
You could say all of your thoughts are about me
You could think no other love could be as strong
But you'd be wrong
You'd be wrong

If you say that you love me
More than anybody
Than anyone's ever been loved before
As much as you love me
Baby, I'll still love you
Baby, I'll still love you more
I'll still love you more

Ask me just what I'd do for you
And I'll tell you I would do anything
Ask if this heart beats true for you
And I'll show you a truer heart could never be

You could say there's not a star that you won't bring me
You could say there'll be no day that you won't need me
You could think no other love could last as long
But you'd be wrong
You'd be wrong

If you say that you love me
More than anybody
Than anyone's ever been loved before
As much as you love me
Baby, I'll still love you
Baby, I'll still love you more
I'll still love you more

And for every kiss
I'll kiss you back a hundred times
And for everything you do
I'll just do more
And for all the love you give
I'll give you so much back you'll see
Got so much love for you inside

If you say that you love me
More than anybody
Than anyone's ever been loved before
As much as you love me
Baby, I'll still love you
Baby, I'll still love you more
I'll still love you more

If you say that you love me
More than anybody
Than anyone's ever been loved before
No matter how much you love me
Baby, I'll still love you
Baby, I'll still love you more, yeah
I'll still love you more

Martina McBride - Valentine

if there were no words
no way to speak
I would still hear you
if there were no tears
no way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

and even if the sun refused to shine
even if romance ran out of rhyme
you would still have my heart until the end of time
you're all I need, my love, my Valentine.

all of my life
I have been waiting for
all you give to me
you've opened my eyes
and shown me how to love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
until the end of time
you're all I need, my love, my Valentine

and even if the sun refused to shine
even if romance ran out of rhyme
you would still have my heart until the end of time
'cause all I need is you, my Valentine
you're all I need, my love, my Valentine

John Michael Montgomery - Home To You

I get up and battle the day
Things don't always go my way
It might rain but that's okay
I get to come home to you
Sometimes life may get me down
And I get tired of getting kicked around
I feel lost in this maddening crowd
But I get to come home to you

You are my best friend
And you are where my heart is
And I know at the day's end
I get to come home to you

Hanging out in our old sweatshirts
You let me complain about a hard day's work
I don't know what I did to deserve
To get to come home to you

You are my best friend
And you are where my heart is
And I know at the day's end
I get to come home to you

You are my best friend
And you are where my heart is
And I know at the day's end
I get to come home to you

Yes I get to come home to you
Oh I love coming home to you

Middle of the night
Takin' your heart
And holdin' it tight

Emotional touch
Touchin' my skin

Kacey Musgraves - Step Off

You sure look real pretty in your glass house
You probably think you?re too good to take the trash out
Well are you dumb or are you blind
Cause it?s a real fine line
Between telling a joke and turning a knife
Don?t wreck my reputation
Let me wreck my own

Step off, step off
Yeah you?re getting too close to me
With all your negativity
Just get lost
Just try to make a little difference
Here's why you gotta interfere
Just keep climbing that mountain of dirty tricks
When you finally get to the top
Step off, yeah

You screwed everybody over in this town
There ain?t nothing between you and the cold hard ground
Keep running your mouth and stretching the truth
You just might find a hole in your parachute
'Cause whatever gets you high
Will always bring you down

So step off, step off
Yeah, you?re getting too close to me
With all your negativity
Just get lost
Just try to make a little difference
Here's why you gotta interfere
Just keep climbing that mountain of dirty tricks
When you finally get to the top, hmmm
Step off

Sticks and stones
May build a throne
But you?ll be up there all alone

So step off
Yeah, yeah, step off

And keep climbing that mountain of dirty tricks, yeah
When you finally get to the top
Step off, step off, step off

once divided
nothing left to subtract
some words when spoken
can't be taken back
walks on his own
with thoughts he can't help thinking
future's above
but in the past he's slow and sinking

caught a bolt of lightning
cursed the day he let it go

nothingman
nothingman
isn't it something
nothingman

she once believed
in every story he had to tell
one day she stiffened
took the other side
empty stares
from each corner of a shared prison cell
one just escapes
one's left inside the well

and he who forgets
will be destined to remember

nothingman
nothingman
isn't it something
nothingman

she don't want him
she won't feed him
after he's flown away
into the sun
into the sun
burn
burn
burn
nothingman
nothingman
isn't it something
nothingman

nothingman
nothingman
could've been something
nothingman

-- "nothingman," pearl jam

Randy Travis - Deeper Than The Holler

Well I've heard those city singers singin' 'bout how they can love,
Deeper than the oceans, higher than the stars above.
Well, I come from the country, and I know I ain't seen it all.
But I heard that ocean's salty, and the stars, they sometimes fall.
And that would not do justice to the way I feel for you.
So I had to sing this song about all the things I knew.

My love is deeper than the holler.
Stronger than the river.
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
My love is purer than the snowflakes,
That fall in late December.
And honest as a Robin on a springtime window sill.
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill.

From the back roads to the Broadway shows with a million miles between,
There's a least a million love songs that people love to sing.
And every one is different, and every one's the same.
And this is just another way of sayin' the same thing.

My love is deeper than the holler.
Stronger than the river.
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
My love is purer than the snowflakes,
That fall in late December.
And honest as a Robin on a spring-time window sill.
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Your Guardian Angel

When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay woah, stay woah

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Joe Nichols - Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off

She said, "I'm going out with my girlfriends
For margaritas at the Holiday Inn"
Oh have mercy my only thought
Was tequila makes her clothes fall off

I told her put an extra layer on
I know what happens when she drinks Patron
Her closet's missing half the things she bought
Yeah, tequila makes her clothes fall off

She'll start by kicking out of her shoes
Lose an earring in her drink
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall
Drop a contact down the sink

Them panty hose ain't gonna last too long
If the DJ puts Bon Jovi on
She might come home in a table cloth
Yeah, tequila makes her clothes fall off

She can handle any champagne brunch
A bridal shower with Bacardi punch
Jello shooters full of Smirnoff
But tequila makes her clothes fall off

She'll start by kicking out of her shoes
Lose an earring in her drink
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall
Drop a contact down the sink

She don't mean nothing, she's just havin' fun
Tomorrow she'll say, "Oh what have I done?"
Her friends will joke about the stuff she lost
Yeah, tequila makes her clothes fall off
Oh tequila makes her clothes fall off
Oh tequila makes her clothes fall off

Andy Griggs - She Thinks She Needs Me

She thinks I walk on water
She thinks I hung the moon
She tells me every morning,
"They just don?t make men like you"

She thinks I?ve got it together
She swears I?m as tough as nails
But I don?t have the heart to tell her
She don?t know me that well

She don?t know how much I need her
She don?t know I?d fall apart
Without her kiss, without her touch
Without her faithful, loving arms
She don?t know that it?s all about her
She don?t know I can?t live without her
She?s my world, she?s my everything
And she thinks she needs me

Sometimes she cries on my shoulder
When she?s lying next to me
But she don?t know that when I hold her
That she?s really holding me, holding me

She don?t know how much I need her
She don?t know I?d fall apart
Without her kiss, without her touch
Without her faithful, loving arms
She don?t know that it?s all about her
She don?t know I can?t live without her
She?s my world, she?s my everything
And she thinks she needs me

Yeah, and the funny thing is
She thinks she?s the lucky one

She don?t know how much I need her
She don?t know I?d fall apart
Without her kiss, without her touch
Without her faithful, loving arms
She don?t know that it?s all about her
She don?t know I can?t live without her
She?s my world, she?s my everything
And she thinks she needs me

She thinks I walk on water
She thinks I hung the moon

Here we go!

You wear your smile like a summer sky
Just shining down on me and you
I swear your heart is a free bird
On a lazy Sunday afternoon

I love the way that you were up for anything
Never worried 'bout what people say
That's right, oh that's right
What we got is

Just like driving on an open highway
Never knowing what we're gonna find
Just like two kids, baby, always trying to live it up
Whoa, yeah, that's our kind of love
Mm that's our kind of love

Skipping rocks and leaving footprints
Down along the riverbank
Always holding hands, never making plans
Just living in the moment, babe

You somehow always know just what to say
That's right, oh that's right

Blake Shelton - Doing What She Likes

She likes it when I call in sick to work
Spend the whole day hanging with her
I might get fired but that's alright
I'm doin' what she likes

She likes it when I bring home fresh fajitas
And mix up a pitcher of margaritas
Catch a kind of buzz that lasts all night
Doin' what she likes

She likes hearin' how good she looks in them blue jeans
Little kisses, sweeter than sweet tea
Things I whispered in her ear, oh my
I like doin' what she likes

Like running my fingers through her long hair
Lightin' watermelon candles upstairs
Lettin' them burn and holdin' her all night
I like doin' what she likes

She likes it when I get past second gear
Sees gravel flying in the rearview mirror
Sometimes I'm pushing 95
Doin' what she likes

And she likes it when I find a road that's dark
Can we pull up somewhere and park?
Turn the radio on and turn off the lights
Keep doin' what she likes

She likes hearin' how good she looks in them blue jeans
Little kisses, sweeter than sweet tea
Things I whispered in her ear, oh my
I like doin' what she likes

Like running my fingers through her long hair
Lightin' watermelon candles upstairs
Lettin' them burn and holdin' her all night
I like doin' what she likes

She likes it when I sing her old silly songs
And throwin' words where they don't belong
Sometimes we laugh 'til we almost cry
Doin' what she likes
Doin' what she likes

She likes hearin' how good she looks in them blue jeans
Little kisses, sweeter than sweet tea
Things I whispered in her ear, oh my
I like doin' what she likes

Like running my fingers through her long hair
Lightin' watermelon candles upstairs
Lettin' them burn and holdin' her all night
I like doin' what she likes

Yeah, I like doin' what she likes
Hmm, yeah

Kelly Clarkson - Don't Rush

Let's wake up in the afternoon
Pretend that we got nothing to do
No we don't have to go by any agenda
We can make up our own rules
I see the way you're looking at me
Baby know I'm feeling it too
We can just light up every candle
Move from room to room

Stopping every minute just because you're in it
Wishing everyday was Sunday, you're right next to me
It's how it's supposed to be
Hanging on every touch
Baby don't rush, no no
Baby don't rush

Throw the map out of the window
Taking the long way around
To a secret place where no one could find us
A little place we can call our own
Come over here and take a picture
Something we can hang on to
We can look back and try to remember
All the crazy things we gonna do

Stopping every minute just because you're in it
Wishing everyday was Sunday, you're right next to me
It's how it's supposed to be
Just hanging on every touch
Baby don't rush
Baby don't rush

Stopping every minute just because you're in it
Stopping every minute just because you're in it
Stopping every minute

Stopping every minute just because you're in it
Wishing everyday was Sunday, you're right next to me
It's how it's supposed to be

Stopping every minute just because you're in it
Wishing everyday was Sunday, you're right next to me
It's how it's supposed to be (supposed to be)
Just hanging on every touch
Baby don't rush no no
Baby don't rush (Baby don't rush)
Baby don't rush

Rihanna - Stay

All along it was a fever
A cold sweat hot-headed believer
I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something,"
He said, "If you dare come a little closer."

Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it.
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you.
It takes me all the way.
I want you to stay

It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something you take ? it's given

Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it.
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you.
It takes me all the way.
I want you to stay.

Ooh the reason I hold on
Ooh cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving
Cause when you never see the light it's hard to know which one of us is caving

Not really sure how to feel about it.
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you.
It takes me all the way.
I want you to stay, stay.
I want you to stay, oh.

we were born into this fool's world
and we will die before we play the game
so many blows ripping apart our gentle souls
and i shudder 'cause i know what i don't wanna know

and it's killing me killing me laughter
wanna wash those smiles away
always killing me killing me slowly
wanna wash those smiles away

i walk with the noise
it's reaching out to me
i talk to the walls
face my devils
when i'm losing my touch
the terror, the terror
i walk with the noise
face my devils

propaganda is in our flesh and blood
and we rejoice in the control of others
euphoria poisoning the minds of the future
and it's turning our kids to murder, to murder

and it's killing me killing me laughter
wanna wash those smiles away
always killing me killing me slowly
wanna wash those smiles away

i walk with the noise
it's reaching out to me
i talk to the walls
face my devils
when i'm losing my touch
the terror, the terror
i walk with the noise
face my devils

i walk with the noise
always killing me killing me laughter
always killing me killing me laughter
it's reaching out to me
it's reaching out to me

Blake Shelton - My Eyes

Those high heels with that sun dress
Turquoise heart hanging 'round your neck
Red lips like wine, wanna drink 'em up
And keep on drinkin' 'til you make me drunk

Tied up here, wanna let it down
And just let the rest fall to the ground
You take beautiful to the max
Can't help myself when you look like that

Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, girl the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you

Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you

There's a million stars dancing in the sky
A picture perfect moon so bright
But I don't care, I'm looking at you
From where I stand you can beat the view

Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, girl the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you

Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you

My eyes have seen
Some amazing things
But girl, my eyes ain't seen
Nothing quite like you, hey baby

Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, girl the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you

Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you

Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you

Pistol Annies - I Hope You're The End Of My Story

I hope you're the end of my story
I hope you're as far as it goes
I hope you're the last word I ever utter
It's never your time to go

Sometimes this road that we travel
Feels like it's leading us on
And spinning our wheels just stirs up the gravel
Before you know it, it's gone.

I hope you're the end of my story
I hope you're as far as it goes
I hope you're the last word I ever utter
It's never your time to go

I'll keep on turning the pages
Oh what a story to tell
You'll still be my sweetheart when everything ages,
You'll be the last book on the shelf

I hope you're the end of my story
I hope you're as far as it goes
I hope you're the last word I ever utter
It's never your time to go

I hope you're the last word I ever utter
It's never your time to go

Pistol Annies - Girls Like Us

I've never been a stranger to working hard
But I've been known to play
You won't likely find me letting down my guard
But I'll get drunk and carried away

Girls like us
We don't mess around
We don't tie you up
Just to let you down
Don't girls like us make the world go round and round?

I get up and get dressed and put it on
And act like I got it together
'Cause somebody's gotta put the supper on
And no man would know better

Girls like us
We don't mess around
We don't tie you up
Just to let you down
Don't girls like us make the world go round and round?

At the end of another hell of a day
I wouldn't change a thing
I kick off my shoes, mix up a drink
And get on my knees and pray, pray...

Girls like us
We don't mess around
We don't tie you up
Just to let you down
Don't girls like us make the world go round?
Don't girls like us make the world go round and round?

Jason Aldean - When She Says Baby

Some days it's tough just gettin' up
Throwin' on these boots and makin' that climb
Some days I'd rather be a no-show lay-low
Before I go outta my mind.

But when she says baby,
Oh no matter what comes ain't goin' nowhere she runs her fingers through my hair and saves me.
Yeah that look in her eyes got me comin' alive and drivin' me a good kinda crazy
When she says baby.
Oh when she says baby.

Some nights I come home fightin' mad
Feel like runnin' my fist through the wall.
Is it even worth it what I'm fightin' for anymore feelin'
Torn all the hell with it all.

But when she's says baby,
Oh no matter what comes ain't goin' nowhere she runs her fingers through my hair and saves me.
Yeah that look in her eyes got me comin' alive and drivin' me a good kinda crazy
When she says baby

Everything gonna be alright.
Just lay down by my side.
Let me love you through this life.

Yeah she's the perfect shot of faith.
When every bit of mine is gone.
Somethin' I can believe in a best friend
A heaven sent love to lean on.

But when she says baby,
Oh no matter what comes ain't goin' nowhere she runs her fingers through my hair and saves me.
Yeah that look in her eyes got me comin' alive and drivin' me a good kinda crazy
When she says baby.
Oh when she says baby.
Yeah that look in her eyes got me comin' alive and drivin' me a good kinda crazy.

tilling my own grave to keep me level
jam another dragon down the hole
digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
one that pushes me along and leaves me so

desperate and ravenous
i'm so weak and powerless over you

someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of china
white as dracula as i approach the bottom

desperate and ravenous
so weak and powerless over you

little angel go away
come again some other day
the devil has my ear today
i'll never hear a word you say
he promised i would find a little solace
and some peace of mind
whatever -- just as long as i don't feel so

desperate and ravenous
i'm so weak and powerless over you
desperate and ravenous
so weak and powerless over you

You're such a beautiful freak
I wish there were more just like you
You're not like all of the others

And that is why I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

Some people think you have a problem
But that problem lies only with them
Just 'cause you are not like the others

Too good for this world
But I hope you will stay
And I'll be here to see

and the sight of it all
makes me sad and ill
that's when i want

things get too straight
i can't bear it
i feel stuck
stuck on a pin

well i'm trying to break in
but i know it's not for me
and the sight of it all
makes me sad and ill
that's when i want

pale blue eyes
in search of flight
you do not know
how hard you will fall
how hard you will fall

give one kiss
for these empty lips
before you go
to your brokenness
to your brokenness

i have seen all you're hiding
all that you've seen
all that you've seen
all that you see

your cracked sky
it lets in the rain
and all i've gained
are craven palms
are craven palms

eyes can't see where you're at
it makes me sad
to know you are far
it makes me sad
to know you are far
to know you are far

go to the mountain if you must
go to the burning bush
happy would ease your troubled mind
how do the fade just stay behind

i know you better than you think i do
don't worry babe -- this is why i fell in love with you
the man in the looking glass
is looking back at last

you can't hide from the truth
because the truth is all there is
you can't hide from the truth
because the truth is all there is
you can't hide from the truth
because the truth is all there is
you can't hide

if happy times are too few and far between
it's a pity, dear -- we can't erase the things we've seen
so disappear, vanish if you wish
just go before you're swallowed up by bitterness

and the truth is you can't hide from the truth
and the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
i realized some time ago that i would have to let you go

may not be true to see that you would return one day
but in your present state you may as well not be here at all
you wear a thin disguise
it's from yourself you hide
just take a look at us
we are heading for a fall

baby i won't die without you by my side
as long as you return into these arms that burn
baby i won't die -- just take a look inside
into these eyes that burn, come to these arms that yearn

and the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
and the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
you can't hide from the truth 'cause the truth is all there is
you can't hide from the truth 'cause the truth is all there is

but your name is a wave washing over me
no games, just a slave to you totally
cause i don't care what they say about you
and you don't care what they say about me
but you know what they say about trouble

pull me down if you want to
and i hope that you want to
cause i wanna be your man
and i wanna say it loud
you can show me where trouble goes
tell me secrets only trouble knows
cause you wanna be my girl
and you wanna say it loud

i want you to know that i've got your back
even when the whole foundation seems cracked
two punk kids up against the world
yeah, trouble -- there goes trouble
we could be king and queen of the moonlight
two young lovers
and when the mood's right
you'll hear me say 'i want you'

so pull me down if you want to
and i hope that you want to
'cause i want to be your man

Metric - Eclipse (All Yours)

Other lives always tempted to trade
Will they hate me for all the choices I've made
Will they stop when they see me again?
I can't stop now I know who I am

Now I'm all yours, I'm not afraid
And you're all mine, say what they may
And all your love I'll take to the grave
And all my life starts now

Tear me down they can't take you out of my thoughts
Under every scar there's a battle I've lost
Will they stop when they see us again?
I can't stop now I know who I am

Now I'm all yours, I'm not afraid
And you're all mine, say what they may
And all your love I'll take to the grave
And all my life starts

I'm all yours, I'm not afraid
And you're all mine, say what they may
And all your love I'll take to a grave
And all my life starts starts now

Rob Pattinson - Never Think

I should never think
What's in your heart
What's in our home
So I won't

You'll learn to hate me
But still call me baby
Oh, love
So call me by my name

And save your soul
Save your soul
Before you're too far gone
Before nothing can be done

I'll try to decide when
She'll lie in the end
I ain't got no fight in me
In this whole damn world
Tell you to hold off
You choose to hold on
It's the one thing that I've known

Once I put my coat on
I'm coming out in this all wrong
She's standing outside holding me
Saying, 'Oh, please
I'm in love
I'm in love'

Girl save your soul
Go on save your soul
Before you're too far gone
Before nothing can be done

'Cause without me
You got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on

The Killers - A White Demon Love Song

White demon love song down the hall
White demon shadow on the road
Back up your mind, there is a call
He isn't coming after all
Love this time
She likes the way he sings
White demon love song's in her dreams

White demon, where's your selfish kiss?
White demon sorrow will arrange
Let's not forget about the fear
Black invitation to this place that cannot change
While strangely holy, come for a rain

(Darling)

White demon, widen your heart's scope
White demon, who let your friends go?
White demon, widen your heart's scope
White demon, who let your friends go?

Let us be in love
(Let us be in love)
Let's do old and grey
(Let's do old and grey)
I won't make you cry
(I won't make you cry)
I will never stray
(I will never stray)
I will do my part
(I will do my part)
Let us be in love tonight

White demon, widen your heart's scope
White demon, who let your friends go?
White demon, widen your heart's scope
White demon, who let your friends go?

(Stand it anymore, darling)
(Stand it)

(I can't stand it anymore, darling)
(Stand it)

Sleeping At Last - In The Embers

We live and we die
Like fireworks
Our legacies hide
In the embers
May our stories catch fire
And burn bright enough
To catch God's eye

We live and we die

Like fireworks
We pull apart the dark
Compete against the stars
With all of our hearts
Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash
We pull apart the darkness while we can

May we live and we die
A valorous life
May we write it all down
In cursive light
So we pray we were made
In the image of a figure eight

May we live and die

Like fireworks
We pull apart the dark
Compete against the stars
With all of our hearts
Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash
We pull apart the darkness while we can

Like fireworks
We pull apart the dark
Compete against the stars
With all of our hearts
Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash
We pull apart the darkness while we can

that's one
precipice we refuse to fall from
straddling
two famous worlds isn't real
we're creating a third one
that is

you invented a death-
wish for us
to people who we saw fit
destroyed by the dust of itself

struck dumb by lesser things
i have been a lesser thing
i have been dumb
i have been

oh how it used to be
inevitable that two feet
at a table might touch
i never thought i'd miss
your triumphs
that much

from wife to midwife
from wife to midwife
from house to halfway house

so let it be known
the scalps shall be displayed
flayed and branded
i hear you've the stomach
i hear you can stand it all

see
the terror
it serves a purpose
and we serve a purpose
and we serve a purpose
and we serve it

Michael Buble - Haven't Met You Yet

I'm not surprised, not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times I stopped keeping track
Talk myself in, I talk myself out
I get all worked up then I let myself down

I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility

And I know some day that it?ll all turn out
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid that I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

Hmm...hmm..

I might have to wait, I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing and the other half's luck
Wherever you are, whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing
And baby your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

Somehow I know that it?ll all turn out
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And promise you kid I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

They say all?s fair in love and war
But I won?t need to fight it
We'll get it right and we'll be united

And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me
And now I can see every single possibility

And someday I know it'll all turn out
And I'll work to work it out
Promise you kid I'll give more than I get, than I get, than I get, than I get

Oh you know it'll all turn out
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And promise you kid to give so much more than I get yeah
I just haven't met you yet

I just haven't met you yet
Oh promise you kid to give so much more than I get

The Civil Wars - Dust To Dust

It's not your eyes
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter
That gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely, too long

Oh, you're acting your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lines
They don't fool me
You've been lonely, too long

Let me in the wall
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn it down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust

You've held your head up
You've fought the fight
You bear the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me
You've been lonely, too long

Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust

You're like a mirror, reflecting me
Takes one to know one, so take it from me

and the days blur into one
and the backs of my eyes
hum with things i've never done

sheets are swaying
from an old clothesline
like a row of captured ghosts
over old dead grass
was never much but we've made the most

welcome home

ships are launching
from my chest
some have names but most do not
if you find one please
let me know what piece i've lost

peel the scars from
off my back
i don't need them anymore
you can throw them out
or keep them in your mason jars

i've come home

all my nightmares escape my head
bar the door, please don't let them in
you were never supposed to leave
now my head's splitting at the seams
and i don't know if i can

i know all your tricks

i've seen you drifting away
i've seen you floating along
i've seen you disappear

there ain't a cloud in sight
through the snow and the branches
i can count all your teeth
yeah i can count all your teeth

now the bed's on fire
and the ceiling's gone
and your mom and dad still sing the same old song
don't scare me off now
i'm your only friend
don't scare me off now
i'm your only friend

now you're drifting away
now you're floating along
and soon you'll disappear

i closed my eyes and saw my father's sins
they covered me like a second skin
i peeled them off and sure, i bled a bit
but now i'm free to sink my own damn ship
i cut my branch down from my family tree
to start a fire in the living room
now the house is just ash
it's time -- sink or swim

i was born when they took my name
when the world turned wicked
when i joined their game
but i turned and fought them
like you always knew i'd do

i sat and dreamed at the foot of your bed
you split my skull
and reached inside my head
and pulled out the pictures
i'd been wishing to forget
and you stitched me up then
and wiped the blood from off my chin

now i sit on the rooftop's edge
the muddy street beneath my swollen head
trying to forget you
to believe we've never met

and the sky is wrecked
full of rotting clouds
from chimney mouths
spewing smoke around
and i can't stop coughing
my lungs just won't calm down
but still i keep grinning
as the blood from my face stains the ground

a bird, caught in the wires
bleating for help i can't provide
i'm not that big
i hope for the best
but nothing changes
i'm sorry

but i was blessed with bad eyes

because i know there's more than one way to lose my mind
to lose my mind
to lose my mind
to lose my mind

the crows are at the fence
they never blink
they just sharpen their claws and bear their twisted teeth
but i won't bend
and i won't move
don't have a lot left, just anger and something to prove
so i can't lose
so i can't lose
so i can't lose

the cold spreads through the house
it bites my ears
i can't feel my hands or feet and i'm too scared to sleep

are on the porch
got knives in hand -- oh no, i think i've seen this before
and i might lose
and i might lose
and i might lose

and slept along the highways

but even though i am lost all the time
i've got hooks in my sides that you left there
but you're not the same, you died along the way
now we're ghosts and we're praying for winter

well i found a wheel that squeaks and squeals
and i left it on your doorstep
because i heard that you might be broken too
and i thought it'd keep you company

and in the winter night sky ships are sailing
looking down on these bright blue city lights
and they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait
we're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay

howling ghosts -- they reappear
in mountains that are stacked with fear
but you're a king and i'm a lionheart
lionheart

his crown lit up the way as we moved slowly
past the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind
though far away, though far away, though far away
we're still the same, we're still the same, we're still the same

howling ghosts -- they reappear
in mountains that are stacked with fear
but you're a king and i'm a lionheart
and in the sea that's painted black
creatures lurk below the deck
but you're a king and i'm a lionheart

and as the world comes to an end
i'll be there to hold your hand
'cause you're my king and i'm your lionheart
lionheart

Turn the ugly light off god
Wanna feel the night
Everyday it shines down on me
Don't you think that i see
Don't you think that i see what it's all about
Hard to look the other way
While the world passes me by
And everyone is trying to bum me out

It's a pretty big world god
And i am awful small
Everyday they rain down on me
Flower in a hailstorm
Flower in a hailstorm
I'm living for the drought
I could throw it back at them
But then i play their game
Everyone is trying to bum me out

When i came into this world they slapped me
And everyday since then i'm slapped again
Tomorrow's king: an unsightly coward
You see, i know i'm gonna win

Turn the ugly light off god
Don't wanna see my face
Everyday it will betray me
Don't you think that i know
Don't you think that i know
What they're talking about
If they step on me tonight
They're gonna pay someday
Everyone is trying to bum me out

she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters when everything is meaningless

fragile
she doesn't see her beauty
she tries to get away
sometimes
it's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away

I won't let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart

she reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
hoping someone can see
if I could fix myseld I'd---
but it's too late for me

I wont let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart

we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
But they keep waiting
And picking
And picking
And picking...

it's something I have to do
(i won't let you fall apart)
I was there, too
(i won't let you fall apart)
before everything else
(i won't let you fall apart)
I was like you
(i won't let you fall apart)

everyone is noah
everyone is the ark
everyone has to build themselves up
when heaven's cruel

and everyone is noah
everyone is the ark
everyone has to gather souls around them
To feel useful, and loving, and loved

and everyone is noah
everyone is the ark
everyone ends up talking to the sky
or looking the elephant in the eye

everyone is noah
everyone is the ark
everyone will turn their hands into the wood
when they really think that they really should
and i'm really sorry for your loss
i can't imagine how that feels
please build yourself up
heaven's cruel
everyone has found themselves at the end of their rope
looking up at the boat
saying, "i don't know--

i don't know if i can call this home
i don't know if i can call this home
i don't know if i can call this home
i don't know if i can call this home"

i regretfully withdraw my offer to try to improve myself
i sincerely believe the results would be a disaster

i held the chisel against my cheekbone
and i beheld the face of my true master

you've gotta love the house you're in
you've gotta love the house you're in

sat out on the balcony
doing blow, playing chess by myself
there is a pseudointellectual in me
oh but luckily there's something else
a frog with its tongue stuck to the inside of my chest
a crow that keeps banging up against the glass
a well-intentioned demon somewhere within
maybe the last one's not so bad
maybe the last one's the main attraction

but you've gotta love the house you're in
you've gotta love the house you're in
'cause someone keeps writing your name all over the walls
someone keeps writing your name all over the walls

i would like to be more for you
than just a ghost lighting up in the courtyard
sometimes i am an actual man standing perfectly still in the dark
starless future folklore past
so leave the shade halfway open
leave the shade halfway drawn
i am writing a line for the stars
happiness is waiting for you to fall

American Young - Love Is War

Young lovers in a picture frame
Ever notice how there ain't no rain
Nobody hangs hard times on the wall
You won't see it in an 8 by 10
But there's a storm every now and then
A slamming door down the hall

Sometimes love is a white flag
Sometimes love is standing tall
Sometimes love is a feather
Sometimes a cannon ball
But it's worth fighting for (it's worth fighting for)
Baby, sometimes love is war

An old couple on a front porch swing
On a walk down memory lane
Been through the fire and back again
Through the clear and the cloudy skies
Still love in each other's eyes
Sometimes love is war but sometimes you win

Sometimes love is a white flag
Sometimes love is standing tall
Sometimes love is a feather
Sometimes a cannon ball
And it's worth fighting for (yeah, it's worth fighting for)
Baby, sometimes love is war

Sometimes love is all that can save us
Sometimes love can kill a man
Sometimes love is a soft touch
Or a pistol in your hand

Sometimes love is a white flag
Sometimes love is standing tall
Sometimes love is a feather
Sometimes a cannon ball
But it's worth fighting for (it's worth fighting for)
Baby, sometimes love is
Baby, sometimes love is war

Lana Del Rey - Lolita

One, one

Would you be mine? Would you be my baby tonight?
Could be kissing my fruit punch lips in the bright sunshine
'Cause I like you quite a lot, everything you got, don't you know?
It's you that I adore, though I make the boys fall like dominoes

Kiss me in the d-a-r-k dark tonight
D-a-r-k do it my way
Kiss me in the p-a-r-k park tonight
P-a-r-k let them all say

Hey, Lolita, hey
Hey, Lolita, hey
I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play
Hey, Lolita, hey
Hey, Lolita, hey
Whistle all you want but I'm not gonna say

No more skipping rope, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown
Just you and me feeling the heat even when the sun goes down

I could be yours, I could be your baby tonight
Topple you down from your sky forty stories high
Shining like a God, can't believe I got you and so
Look at what I bought, not a second thought, oh, Romeo

Kiss me in the d-a-r-k dark tonight
D-a-r-k do it my way
Kiss me in the p-a-r-k park tonight
P-a-r-k let them all say

Hey, Lolita, hey
Hey, Lolita, hey
I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play
Hey, Lolita, hey
Hey, Lolita, hey
Whistle all you want but I'm not gonna say

No more skipping rope, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown
Just you and me feeling the heat even when the sun goes down

I want my cake and I want to eat it too
I want to have fun and be in love with you
I know that I'm a mess with my long hair and my sun tan, short dress, bare feet
I don't care what they say about me, what they say about me
Because I know that it's L.O.V.E.
You make me happy, you make me happy
And I never listen to anyone
Let them all say

Hey, Lolita, hey
Hey, Lolita, hey
I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play
Hey, Lolita, hey
Hey, Lolita, hey
Whistle all you want but I'm not gonna say

No more skipping rope, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown

Lana Del Rey - Lucky Ones

Let's get out of this town, baby we're on fire
Everyone around here seems to be going down, down
If you stick with me, I can take you higher, and higher
It feels like all of our friends are lost
Nobody's found, found, found

I got so scared, I thought no one could save me
You came along scooped me up like a baby

Every now and then, the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones

Everybody told me love was blind
Then I saw your face and you blew my mind
Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time

Boy get into my car, got a bad desire
You know that we'll never leave if we don't get out, now, now
You're a careless con, and you're the crazy liar
But baby, nobody can compare to the way you get down, down, down

I tried so hard to act nice like a lady
You taught me that it was good to be crazy

Every now and then, the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones

Everybody told me love was blind
Then I saw your face and you blew my mind
Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time

Feels like, feels like, you know, it feels like
Falling in love for the first time
Feels like, you know, it feels like
Falling in love

Every now and then, the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones

Everybody told me love was blind
Then I saw your face and you blew my mind
Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time

light reflects from your shadow
it is more than i thought could exist
you move through the room
like breathing is easy
if someone believed me
they would be in love with you as i am
they would be in love with you as i am
they would be in love, love, love

and everyday
i am learning about you
the things that no one else sees
and the end comes too soon
like dreaming of angels
and leaving without them
and leaving without them
being as in love with you as i am
being as in love with you as i am
being as in love, love, love

and with words unspoken
a silent devotion
i know you know what i mean
and the end is unknown
but i think i'm ready
as long as you're with me
being as in love with you as i am
being as in love with you as i am
being in love, love, love

it will come around
but everything is now
i know everything is right now

the loneliness is a lot
and the nothing weighs a ton
i mean the nothing weighs a fxcking ton

that half of the bed
empty like a page
all the cursive claims you've yet to make

all the promising lines
bending like her spine
oh the whiteness that your pen could write

if you get these bandages off
you can stand, you can walk
leave these towels and gauze
you'll get up, you'll get out
into the sun

that's where we belong
we've been abed too long
all our weaknesses are growing strong

but winter always ends
with water on your lips
the april rain comes swinging in

get these bandages off
let me stand, let me walk
leave these towels and gauze
let me up, let me out
into the sun

oh come she will
she comes, oh
she comes, oh
she comes

all of my heroes sit up straight
they stare at the ground
they radiate

me, i'm mumbling in the kitchen for the sun to pay up
lonely is a ring on a cold coffee cup
i'm some sick hound
digging for bones
if it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone

my hands they were strangers lost in the night
they're waving around in that parking lot light
i'm waiting in the wings while the trees undress
cupping my ear to hear the wind confess
i'm a ghost in the garden
scaring the crows
if it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone

i'm running from nothing, no thoughts in my mind
oh my heart was all black
but i saw something shine
thought that part was yours, but it might just be mine
i could share it with you, if you gave me the time
i'm all bloody knuckles, longing for home
if it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone

i'm a shot through the dark
i'm a black sinkhole
if it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone

you are the silence in between
what i thought and what i said

you are the night time fear
you are the morning when it's clear
when it's over you will start
you're my head
you're my heart

no light no light in those bright blue eyes
i never knew daylight could be so violent
a revelation in the light of day
you can't choose what stays and what fades away

and i'd do anything to make you stay
no light no light
tell me what you want me to say

through the crowd
i was crying out
and in your place there were a thousand other faces
i was disappearing in plain sight
heaven help me
i need to make it right

you want a revelation
you wanna get it right
but it's a conversation
i just can't have tonight
you want a revelation
some kind of resolution
you want a revelation

you can't choose what stays and what fades away

and i'd do anything to make you stay
no light no light
tell me what you want me to say

would you leave me
if i told you what i've done
and would you need me
if i told you what i've become
cause it's so easy
to say it to a crowd
but it's so hard, my love
to say it to you out loud

no light no light in those bright blue eyes
i never knew daylight could be so violent
a revelation in the light of day
you can't choose what stays and what fades away

and i'd do anything to make you stay
no light no light
tell me what you want me to say

you want a revelation
you wanna get it right

i won't need any help to be lonely when you leave m

gather my skeletons far inside

Miranda Lambert - Holding On To You

I've seen the south of France
I've seen the sunset dance
Over Sunset Avenue
I've seen the Rolling Stones
Got real high on rock and roll
Seen a lot of dreams come true
But ain't no moment like when I'm holding on to you
Ain't no moment like when I'm holding on to you

Baby, over the years
I've been moved to tears
By the wonders of this old world
One of God's mysteries
That never fails to get to me
Is the moment when I'm holding on to you
Ain't no moment like when I'm holding on to you

I've seen a newborn child
Puts stars in her mama's eyes
And i pray to the man in the moon
I got drunk with the highway men
Felt the burn of the desert wind
Seen some promising I-dos
Ain't no moment like when I'm holding on to you
Ain't no moment like when I'm holding on to you

Baby, over the years
I've been moved to tears
By the wonders of this old world
One of God's mysteries
That never fails to get to me
Is the moment when I'm holding on to you
Ain't no moment like when I'm holding on to you

Baby, we just rolled in
It's cold here in Michigan
Got a sold-out show tonight
Pretty soon we'll hit the stage
I'll feel the lights hit my face
We'll see some magic in the room
Ain't no moment like when I'm holding on to you
Ain't no moment like when I'm holding on to you

No, no, no, no

Ain't no moment like when I'm holding on to you

are laid out one by one
a wonderful part of the mess that we made
we pick ourselves undone

all of your flaws and all of my flaws
they lie there hand in hand
ones we've inherited, ones that we learned
they pass from man to man

there's a hole in my soul
i can't fill it i can't fill it
there's a hole in my soul
can you fill it can you fill it

you have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve
and i have always buried them deep beneath the ground
dig them up; let's finish what we've started
dig them up, so nothing's left unturned

all of your flaws and all of my flaws,
when they have been exhumed
we'll see that we need them to be who we are
without them we'd be doomed

We drove right past
That no trespassing sign
We sat on the tailgate
And watched the planes take off

We thought we had all night
There was no need to rush
That's when those cops
Came pulling up
And I thought
Man, ain't this some shhhh

Your daddy's gonna kill me
But if I survive tonight
I wouldn't change one thing
Baby, yeah
I know it sounds crazy

But there was somethin bout the way
The blue lights were shinin
Bringing out the freedom in your eyes
I was too busy watching you
Going wild child
To be worried about going to jail
You were thinking that
Running for it
Would make a good story
I was thinking you were crazy as hell
And you were so
Innocent
But you were stealing my heart
I fell in love in the back of a cop car

Man, they weren't playin
They sure threw those cuffs on quick
You tried to sweet talk 'em
They didn't fall for it
But I did
You were on the left
I was on the right
I knew you didn't smoke
When you asked him for a light
And I laughed
He got mad and slammed the door

Your daddy's gonna kill me
But if I survive tonight
I wouldn't change one thing
Baby, yeah
I know it sounds crazy

But there was somethin bout the way
The blue lights were shinin
Bringing out the freedom in your eyes
I was too busy watching you
Going wild child
To be worried about going to jail
You were thinking that
Running for it
Would make a good story
I was thinking you were crazy as hell
And you were so
Innocent
But you were stealing my heart
I fell in love in the back of a cop car

Side by side
And locked in tight
They were taking their time
But we didn't mind

We talked
And we laughed
We sat real close
By the time they let us go
I was already gone

But there was somethin bout the way
The blue lights were shinin
Bringing out the freedom in your eyes
I was too busy watching you
Going wild child
To be worried about going to jail
You were thinking that
Running for it
Would make a good story
I was thinking you were crazy as hell
And you were so

Hozier - Take Me To Church

My lover's got humor
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshiped her sooner

If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week

'We were born sick, ' you heard them say it

My Church offers no absolutes
She tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom.'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you?

I was born sick,
But I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice

Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful

That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

No Masters or Kings
When the Ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am Human
Only then I am Clean
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Lay your head down on my shoulder

Dream, life ain't nothing but a dream, don?t wanna be
Cruisin? through this dream without you

I don?t ever want to wake up,
Lookin? into someone else?s eyes
Another Voice calling me baby
On the other end of the phone
A new girl puttin? on her makeup
Before dinner on Friday night

Boys workin on empty
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat
I just think about my baby
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
There's nothing sweeter than my baby
I never want once from the cherry tree
Cause my baby's sweet as can be
She give me toothaches just from kissin me

When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

That's when my baby found me
I was three days on a drunken sin
I woke with her walls around me
Nothin in her room but an empty crib
And I was burnin up a fever
I didn't care much how long I lived
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
She never asked me once about the wrong I did

When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

My baby never fret none
About what my hands and my body done
If the Lord don't forgive me
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
When I was kissing on my baby
And she put her love down soft and sweet
In the low lamp light I was free
Heaven and hell were words to me

When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

Blake Shelton - Just South Of Heaven

I never liked the taste of whiskey til I kissed it off of her lips
Never knew just what was hitting me, getting me tipsy
But there I sit, Levi's on a dogwood branch
Yeah, she was taking me under
I might have lost my innocence
But she was saving my soul that summer

I don't know much about eternity
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
All I know is that I have already been
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
Might be all that I'm getting
Kissing and sipping that seven-and-seven
Somewhere just south of heaven

She might have been a falling angel
Nah, I didn't care at all
I never thought a prayer could be answered
With a whispered, sweet southern drawl
Even now when I close my eyes
I see her silhouette dance on the river
The way we spent those endless nights
That's the way I could spend forever

I don't know much about eternity
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
All I know is that I have already been
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
Might be all that I'm getting
Kissing and sipping that seven-and-seven
Somewhere just south of heaven

Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line
Little white church, roll back through the pines
Down where the three cross river unwinds
If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine

I don't know much about eternity
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
All I know is that I have already been
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
Might be all that I'm getting
Kissing and sipping that seven-and-seven
Somewhere just south of heaven

Oh yeah, just south of heaven

Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line
Little white church, roll back through the pines
Down where the three cross river unwinds
If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine

Yeah, that'd be mine
Oh, just a little bit south of heaven

(we wish you well -- we wish you well)
innocence passed me by
want to be screwing when the nightmare comes
(i wish you well -- i wish you well)
wanna come quick then die

tell the truth
tell the truth
tell the truth
we prick you we prick you we prick you

all the little rose-kissed foxy girls
(shoes - shoes - little white shoes)
where have all the flowers gone
all the little fragile champion boys
(toys - toys - little black toys)
dripping on the end of a gun
(--even if you disagree)

tell the truth
tell the truth
tell the truth
we prick you we prick you we prick you

'we prick you,' david bowie
