Didn't they tell us, "don't rush into things?"
Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?
Didn't you calm my fears with a Cheshire cat smile?

Didn't it all seem new and exciting?
I felt your arms twisting around me
It's all fun and games 'til somebody loses their mind.

But darling, we found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And life was never worse, but never better.
 
Harlem - New Politics

Harlem - New Politics

I spend my money on the regular miracles
Just like you like me like everybody else
Up on the sun looking sad and beautiful
Just like you like me like everybody else


When it gets loud, I turn it up
Shake it like a bad girl up in Harlem
When it?s too hot, I light it up
Light it up yeah smoke em if you got em


Here come the jets hide my money in your tube socks
Run like me, like hell, like everybody else
Hair metal on a Japanese boom box
Kicks like you like me like everybody else


When it gets loud, I turn it up
Shake it like a bad girl up in Harlem
When it?s too hot, I light it up
Light it up yeah smoke em if you got em
When it gets soft, I shake it up
Shake it like a bad girl up in Harlem
You?re so sweet, but I like it rough
Light it up yeah smoke em if you got em


Making a movie on the couch with a flip phone
Just like you like I like fingers in your mouth
Up on the sun playing drums with a bleached bone
Just like you like me like everybody else


When it gets loud, I turn it up
Shake it like a bad girl up in Harlem
When it?s too hot, I light it up
Light it up yeah smoke em if you got em
 
"Forever Yours"
Artist: Nightwish
Album: Century Child (2002)


Fare thee well, little broken heart.
Downcast eyes, lifetime loneliness.
Whatever walks in heart will walk alone.

Constant longing for the perfect soul.
Unwashed scenery forever gone.
Whatever walks in heart will walk alone.

No love left in me. No eyes to see the heaven beside me.
My time is yet to come, so I'll be forever yours.
 
WHY - Annie Lennox

WHY - Annie Lennox

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Why
Why

I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard is said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel ?
'cause i don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel​

Modern Jesus

Modern Jesus

Come on in
Take a seat next to me
You know we got
We got what you need
We may be liars preaching to choirs
But we can
We can sell your dreams

You don't need sympathy
They got a pill for everything
Just take that dark cloud
Ring it out to wash it down, but

Don't pray for us
We don't need no modern Jesus
To roll with us
The only rule we need is never
Giving up
The only faith we have is faith in us

We're the ones who start little fires
Yet they burn out
But when they're on the rise
They can't help but shine

And when the wave approaches
Take our ashes to the ocean
Who cares if hell awaits?
We're having drinks at heaven's gate

Don't pray for us
We don't need no modern Jesus
To roll with us
The only rule we need is never
Giving up
The only faith we have is faith in us

We know that we're helpless
At least we always assume
But we don't need to prove nothing to you
Let's keep the cool
You don't need to feel blue
Cause we won't sell you nothing
You can't use

Well, you've got your diamonds and you've got your pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
But don't play with me cause you're playing with fire

Your mother she's an heiress, owns a block in Saint John's Wood
And your father'd be there with her
If he only could
But don't play with me cause you're playing with fire

Your old man took her diamonds and tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
So don't play with me cause you're playing with fire

Now you've got some diamonds and you will have some others
But you'd better watch your step, girl
Or start living with your mother
So don't play with me cause you're playing with fire
So don't play with me cause you're playing with fire
 
Here's a chorus i'm working on. I cant get these words out of my head.


"You're like a song in my head, sweet melody. Sing me to sleep, and don't let me fall this hard just to turn around and leave.
Be the words on my lips that i'm too scared to say, be my hope for tomorrow, be my reason to stay. "
 
KICKSTARTS ~ Example

KICKSTARTS ~ Example

​You want me to come over
I got an excuse
Might be holding your hand
But I'm holding it loose
Go to talk then we choke
It's like our necks in a noose
Avoid the obvious
We should be facing the truth

Start to think it could be fizzling out
Kinda shocked because I never really had any doubts
Look into your eyes, imagine life without ya

And the love kickstarts again
Starts again
And the love kickstarts again
Starts again

It's the same old you, the same old me
You get bored and I get cold feet
Get high, get wandering eyes
Forget I've never ever had it so sweet
I realise what I got when I'm out of town
Cause deep down you're my girl in a golden crown
My princess and I don't wanna let you down
No I don't wanna let you down, down, down, down

You want me to come over
I got an excuse
Might be holding your hand
But I'm holding it loose
Go to talk then we choke
It's like our necks in a noose
Avoid the obvious
We should be facing the truth

Start to think it could be fizzling out
Kinda shocked because I never really had any doubts
Look into your eyes and imagine life without ya

It kickstarts again

Start to think it could be fizzling out
Kinda shocked because I never really had and doubts
Look into your eyes and imagine life without ya

And the love kickstarts again
Starts again
And the love kickstarts again
Starts again

It's the same old you the same old me
You get bored and II get cold feet
Get high get wandering eyes
Forget I've never ever had it so sweet
I realise what I got when I'm out of town
Cause deep down you're my girl in a golden crown
My princess and I don't wanna let you down
No I don't wanna let you down, down, down, down

It kickstarts again

Start to think that it could be fizzling out
Kinda shocked because I never really had and doubts
Look into your eyes and imagine life without ya

And the love kickstarts again​

El cerrito place kenny chesney

Somebody said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land
So I've been out here all night looking for your footprints in the sand
Did you hear the ocean singing , baby did you sing along
While you danced out in the water to some ol' forgotten song
Where you even here at all ?

I love Kenny Chesney... He's like a modern day Jimmy Buffet. I like how he captures that "beach feeling" you get with you're near the ocean breathing the salt air, feeling the breeze on your face. It's just awesome 🙂
 
Ben Haenow & Kelly Clarkson - Secondhand Heart

Ben Haenow & Kelly Clarkson - Secondhand Heart

The light of the morning finds you sleeping in my bed
And it's not like the stories, it's never like what they said
I know who you want me to be, but I'm just not there yet
Yeah, the broken road's always been home and it's so hard to forget

Wait for me now
Will you wait for me now?

I might think too much, drink too much, stay out too late
I know I'm just a fool, but I swear I can change
I can't steal you the stars
But I can give you this second hand heart
All your friends think I'm hopeless, they don't understand
That this imperfect love can start over again
It's been broken apart
Will you still take my second hand heart?

Yeah, the light of the morning finds you sleeping in my bed
And it's not like the stories, it's never like what they said
And I know who you want me to be, but I'm just not there yet
Yeah, the broken road's always been home and it's so hard to forget

I might think too much, drink too much, stay out too late
I know I'm just a fool, but I swear I can change
I can't steal you the stars
But I can give you this second hand heart
All your friends think I'm hopeless, they don't understand
That this imperfect love can start over again
It's been broken apart
Will you still take my second hand heart?

If you let me show you, I could love you the same
And I can't steal you the stars, but I can try every day
Oh, you know they'll never tear us apart
And I'm just a fool, but I swear I can change
I can't steal you the stars, but I can try every day
And you know, you've got my second hand heart

You might think too much, drink too much, stay out too late
I know you've been a fool, but I swear you can change
I can't steal you the stars
But I can give you this second hand heart
All your friends think I'm hopeless, they don't understand
That this imperfect love can start over again
It's been broken apart
Will you still take my second hand heart?

And I'm just a fool, but I swear I can change
And I can't steal you the stars, but I can try every day
Oh, you know, you've got my second hand heart
And I'm just a fool, but I swear I can change
And I can't steal you the stars, but I can try every day
Oh, you know, you've got my second hand heart​
 
Justin Moore - Til My Last Day

Justin Moore - Til My Last Day

This is for a very good friend ........


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​
 
​Sending out a message to the world
But I just can't seem to find the words
No one wants to die alone
Broken and insane
Question every last decision
Another empty page

Do you know the answers?
Tell me, I find my happy ending
When do we start pretending that
We're all the same on the inside

Wanting what I know won't satisfy
Just to live this, need to live a lie
Never meant to run away
Jumping out the train
My cage was built on good intentions
Running every page

Do you know the answers?


Tell me, I find my happy ending
When do we start pretending that
We're all the same on the inside

All the same on the inside
All the same on the inside

Do you want the answers?
Tell me, I find my happy ending
When do we start pretending that
We're all the same on the inside

All the same on the inside
We're all the same on the inside
We're all the same on the inside

Yeah, we're all the same on the inside

Kenny Chesney - There Goes My Life

Kenny Chesney - There Goes My Life

This is a fitting story for most....me included

All he could think about was I'm too young for this.
Got my whole life ahead.
Hell I'm just a kid myself.
How'm I gonna raise one.

All he could see were his dreams goin' up in smoke.
So much for ditchin' this town and hangin' out on the coast.
Oh well, those plans are long gone.

[Chorus:]
And he said,
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
Might as well kiss it all good-bye.
There goes my life.......

A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later.
That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator.
Oh yeah..........he loves that little girl.

Momma's waiting to tuck her in,
As she fumbles up those stairs.
She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear.
Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncin' curls.

[Chorus:]
He smiles.....
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
I love you, daddy good-night.
There goes my life.

She had that Honda loaded down.
With Abercrombie clothes and 15 pairs of shoes and his American Express.
He checked the oil and slammed the hood, said you're good to go.
She hugged them both and headed off to the West Coast.

[Chorus:]
And he cried,
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
I love you.
Baby good-bye.

There goes my life.
There goes my life.
Baby good-bye.​
 
This is the anthem
Told the world I need everything and some
Two girls that's a tandem
She gon' do all it for me when them bands come
Got it all, yeah I am young, rich, and handsome
Uh, This shit is not random

I've Got Your Picture -- Patsy Cline

I've Got Your Picture -- Patsy Cline

I've got your picture
that you gave to me
and its signed with love
just like it used to be

The only thing different , the only thing new
I've got your picture , and she's got you

I've got the records
that we used to share
and they still sound the same
as when you where here

The only thing different , the only thing new
I've got the records , and she's got you

I got your memory
or , has it got me
I really dont know
but i know is it wont let me be

 
Hideaway ~ Kiesza

Hideaway ~ Kiesza

Taking me higher than I've ever been before
I'm holding it back, just want to shout out, give me more

You're just a hideaway, you're just a feeling
You let my heart escape beyond the meaning
Not even I can find a way to stop the storm
Oh, baby, it's out of my control, what's going on?

But you're just a chance I take to keep on dreaming
You're just another day that keeps me breathing

Baby, I love the way that there's nothing sure
Baby, don't stop me, hide away with me some more

Ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh

You send me the shiver up my spine, might overflow
You're bringing me closer to the edge of letting go

You're just a hideaway, you're just a feeling
You let my heart escape beyond the meaning
Putting my head into the clouds I'm floating home
When you get me going I can't find a way to stop

You're just a chance I take to keep on dreaming
You're just another day that keeps me breathing

Ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh

Baby, I love the way that there's nothing sure
Baby, don't stop me, hide away with me some more
Hide away with me some more

Bringing me higher than I've ever been before
I'm holding it back, just wanna shout out, "Give me more."

You're just a hideaway, you're just a feeling
You let my heart escape beyond the meaning
Not even I can find a way to stop the storm
Oh, baby, it's out of my control, what's going on

You're just a chance I take to keep on dreaming
You're just another day that keeps me breathing
You're a day that keeps me dreaming

Ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh

Baby, I love the way that there's nothing sure
Baby, don't stop me, hide away with me some more
Hide away with me some more​
