Tell me why you worry
I mean come on you've got the best of friends
liars, cheaters, and may I say best of all, backstabbers
they're the reason for this mess we're in
this mess we're in

please don't forget the fact that I'm still here
you never even made an attempt to make things better
make things better
please don't forget the fact that I'm still here
you never even made an attempt to make things better

this time it takes a liar and there's more on the line
game over she said with her mind in time
you never thought I'd be the one to say this
baby I'm gone

When my life's all out of order, I need you in my corner
I need to know that you're a friend when it's against the odds
and I'm against the wall, it's me against the world,
And everyone else has,
But don't you count me out.
 
and i had a feeling that i belonged
i had a feeling i could be someone, be someone, be someone

:heartbeat
 
Lukas Graham "7 Years"

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."
Once I was seven years old

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me,
"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely."
Once I was eleven years old

I always had that dream, like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years old

(Lukas Graham!)

I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
I got my boys with me, at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
I was writing about everything I saw before me
Once I was twenty years old

Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Soon we'll be thirty years old

I'm still learning about life
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother, I'm still sorry

Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month

Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Soon I'll be sixty years old

Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Soon I'll be sixty years old

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."
Once I was seven years old

Once I was seven years old
 
Maggie Reilly - Everytime We Touch

A shooting star fell down to earth
lightning cracked the sky
something weird is happening
something I can't deny
A strange kind of magic
running through my brain
feel I'm in heaven
or going insane
'Cause everytime we touch
I get this feeling
and everytime we kiss
I swear I could fly
can't you hear my heart beat fast
I want this to last
need you by my side
'cause everytime we touch
I feel the static
and everytime we kiss
I reach for the sky
can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
wan't you in my life
The wind was like a hurricane
storm clouds filled the sky
I heard a crash of thunder
the earth shook in reply
a strange kind of magic
running through my brain
feel like I'm in heaven
or going insane
'Cause everytime we touch
I get this feeling
and everytime we kiss
I swear I could fly
can't you hear my heart beat fast
I want this to last
need you by my side
'Cause everytime we touch
I feel the static
and everytime we kiss
I reach for the sky
can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
wan't you in my life
`Cause everytime we touch
I get this feeling
and everytime we kiss
I swear I could fly
can't you hear my heart beat fast
I want this to last
need you by my side
'Cause everytime we touch
I feel the static
and everytime we kiss
I reach for the sky
can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
wan't you in my life
Cause everytime we touch...


 
Ain't No Reason
BRETT DENNEN

There ain't no reason things are this way.
It's how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way.
We do it every day.

Preachers on the podium speaking of saints.
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change.
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape,
Cursing my name.

I've got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same,
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing,
You can spend your whole life working for something,
Just to have it taken away.

People walk around pushing back their debts,
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets,
Talking about nothing, not thinking about death,
Every little heartbeat, every little breath.

People walk a tightrope on a razors edge.
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons.
It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen,
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence' end.

There ain't no reason things are this way.
Its how they've always been and they intend to stay.
I don't know why I say the things I say,
But I say them anyway.

But love will come set me free.
Love will come set me free, I do believe.
Love will come set me free, I know it will.
Love will come set me free, yes.

Prison walls still standing tall.
Some things never change at all.
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all.
Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all.

Working your fingers bare to the bone.
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul.
Like a lung, it's filled with coal,
Suffocating slow.

The wind blows wild and I may move.
But politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit,
To argue the truth.

The air on my skin and the world under my toes
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go,
Love I try to follow.

Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes

There ain't no reason things are this way.
Its how they've always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way.
We do it every day.​
 
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'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in
well you're my favorite bird and when you sing
i really do wish you'd wear my ring


jesse lacey please date me oh my god
 
Every place I go, I'll think of you;
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you.
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring.
So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go,
'cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

John Denver.
 
oh my tongue's the only muscle on my body that works harder than my heart
and it's all from watching tv,
and from speeding up my breathing
 
Road Less Traveled / Lauren Alaina

Road Less Traveled / Lauren Alaina

Why do you keep on staring
That mirror , mirror it ain't fair at all
Dress sizes can't define , don't let the world decide what's beautiful no !
You wont make yourself a name if you follow the rules
History gets made when you're acting like a fool
So don't hold back and just run with it
Show what you got and just own it !!
No they can't tear you apart

If you trust your rebel heart , ride it into battle
Don't be afraid to take the road less traveled
Wear out your boots and kick up the gravel
Don't be afraid to take the road less traveled on

Adam Young - if i Stand

There's more that rises in the morning
Than the sun
And more that shines in the night
Than just the moon
It's more than just this fire here
That keeps me warm
In a shelter that is larger
Than this room

And there's a loyalty that's deeper
Than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs
That I can sing
The stuff of Earth competes
For the allegiance
I owe only to the Giver
Of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home

There's more that dances on the prairies
Than the wind
More that pulses in the ocean
Than the tide
There's a love that is fiercer
Than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother's
When her baby's at her side

And there's a loyalty that's deeper
Than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs
That I can sing
The stuff of Earth competes
For the allegiance
I owe only to the Giver
Of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home

And if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home

And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home​

I'm jealous, I'm overzealous
When I'm down, I get real down
When I'm high, I don't come down
I get angry, baby, believe me
I could love you just like that
And I could leave you just as fast


But you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too
No, you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too


'Cause I got issues
But you got 'em too
So give 'em all to me
And I'll give mine to you
Bask in the glory
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
It takes to solve 'em


Yeah, I got issues
And one of them is how bad I need you


You do **** on purpose
You get mad and you break things
Feel bad, try to fix things
But you're perfect
Poorly wired circuit
And got hands like an ocean
Push you out, pull you back in


'Cause you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too
No, you don't judge me
'Cause you see it from the same point of view


'Cause I got issues
But you got 'em too
So give 'em all to me
And I'll give mine to you
Bask in the glory
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
It takes to solve 'em


Yeah, I got issues
And one of them is how bad I need you


(I got issues, you got 'em too)
And one of them is how bad I need you
(I got issues, you got 'em too)


'Cause I got issues
(I got)
But you got 'em too
So give 'em all to me
(You got 'em too)
And I'll give mine to you
Bask in the glory
(I got issues)
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
(You got 'em too)
It takes to solve 'em


Yeah, I got issues (I got)
And one of them is how bad I need you (You got 'em too)
Yeah, I got issues (I got issues)
And one of them is how bad I need you (You got 'em too)
Yeah, I got issues (I got)
And one of them is how bad I need you​
 
All stars

All stars


Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead


Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow


Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold


It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait till you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours?
That's the way I like it and I never get bored


Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold


Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show, on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars


Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas?
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change


Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go (go!)
You'll never shine if you don't glow


Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold


And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold​
 
"Ripple" by The Grateful Dead

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps they're better left unsung.
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

You, who choose to lead, must follow
But if you fall you fall alone.
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

La dee da da da,
La da da da da,
Da da da, da da, da da da da da
La da da da,
La da da, da da,
La da da da,
La da, da da.
 
"Tear You Apart" - She Wants Revenge


Got a big plan, his mind's set, maybe it's right
At the right place and right time, maybe tonight
In a whisper or handshake sending a sign
Wanna make out and kiss hard, wait never mind


Late night, in passing, mention it flip to her
Best friend, it's no thing, maybe it slipped
but the slip turns to terror and a crush to like
when she walked in he froze up, leave it to fright


It's cute in a way, till you cannot speak
And you leave to have a cigarette, knees get weak
escape was just a nod and a casual wave
Obsess about it, heavy for the next two days


It's only just a crush, it'll go away
It's just like all the others it'll go away
Or maybe this is danger and you just don't know
You pray it all away but it continues to grow


I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, and close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right


I want to hold you close
Soft breath, beating heart
As I whisper in your ear
I want to ****ing tear you apart


Then he walked up and told her, thinking maybe it'd pass


And they talked and looked away a lot, doing the dance
Her hand brushed up against his, she left it there
Told him how she felt and then they locked in a stare


They took a step back, thought about it, what should they do
Cause theres always repercussions when you're dating in school
But their lips met, and reservations started to pass
Whether this was just an evening or a thing that would last


Either way he wanted her and this was bad
Wanted to do things to her it was making him crazy
Now a little crush turned into a like
And now he wants to grab her by the hair and tell her


I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, and close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right


I want to hold you close
Soft breath, beating heart
As I whisper in your ear
I wanna ****ing tear you apart
[3x]
 
Hopes and wishes set aflame
What's your purpose here, whatcha hope to gain?
Took my dignity, you took my dignity
Lost a lover and earned an enemy
Time to make it right, how it's gonna to be.
Watch you pay the toll right in front of me
Time to pay your due, time to set you straight
Take what you dish out, Toma away.
