Lyrics...

I don't want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill
And sleep at will
And not have to go through what I go through
I guess I should take Prozac, right
And just smile all night
At somebody new
Somebody not too bright
But sweet and kind
Who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
Which is just what I'd do
If I wanted to
But I don't want to get over you

'Cause I don't want to get over love
I could listen to my therapist
Pretend you don't exist
And not have to dream of what I dream of
I could listen to all my friends
And go out again
And pretend it's enough
Or I could make a career of being blue
I could dress in black and read Camus
Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
Like I was seventeen
That would be a scream
But I don't want to get over you
 
We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No one else has read
Even joined in bonds of love
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads
We are planets to each other
Drifting in our orbits
To a brief eclipse
Each of us a world apart
Alone and yet together
Like two passing ships

[Chorus]
Just between us
I think it's time for us to recognize
The differences we sometimes fear to show
Just between us
I think it's time for us to realize
The spaces in between
Leave room for you and I to grow

We are strangers to each other
Full of sliding panels
An illusion show
Acting well rehearsed routines
Or playing from the heart?
It's hard for one to know

We are islands to each other
Building hopeful bridges
On a troubled sea
Some are burned or swept away
Some we would not choose
But we're not always free

-- Entre Nous, Rush.
 
Take this heart of gold, and melt it down
And I'll come around
I'll come around
I'm treadin' lightly in your eyes
And honey I can't live a lie
But a life without you could never steal me now

With so much time to spend
Why paint this house again?
When the floorboards creak and pull you from your slumber
Well I'd hold you 'til the end
But honey even oaks must bend
If we intend to stick with one another

So take this heart of gold, and melt it down
And I'll come around
I'll come around
I'm treadin' lightly in your eyes
And honey I can't live a lie
But a life without you could never steal me now

Out the door, and down the drive
There's a part of me that tries
To keep that highway's call to me away
And another, further still
That sadly never will
Feel at home, no matter how long I may stay

So take this heart of gold, and melt it down
And I'll come around
I'll come around
I'm treadin' lightly in your eyes
And honey I can't live a lie
But a life without you could never steal me now

~ Mandolin Orange - Take This Heart of Gold
 
Steer your way through the ruins
Of the altar and the mall
Steer your way through the fables
Of creation and the fall
Steer your way past the palaces
That rise above the rot
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought

Steer your heart past the truth
You believed in yesterday
Such as fundamental goodness
And the wisdom of the way
Steer your heart, precious heart
Past the women whom you bought
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought

Steer your path through the pain
That is far more real than you
That smashed the cosmic model
That blinded every view
And please don’t make me go there
Tho’ there be a god or not
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought

They whisper still, the ancient stones
The blunted mountains weep
As he died to make men holy
Let us die to make things cheap
And say the Mea Culpa which you’ve probably forgot
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought

Steer your way, o my heart
Tho’ I have no right to ask
To the one who was never
Never equal to the task
Who knows he’s been convicted
Who knows he will be shot
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought

They whisper still, the ancient stones
The blunted mountains weep
As he died to make men holy
Let us die to make things cheap
And say the Mea Culpa which you gradually forgot
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought


~Leonard Cohen - Steer Your Way
 
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in this moment this order's tall

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
We suckled on the hope in lite brassieres
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now all your love is wasted
And who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

Come on skinny love
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Birdy - Skinny Love
 
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
This world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to you
I run to you baby
When it all starts coming undone
Baby you're the only one I run to
I run to you
Whoa oh
Oh 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, I run to you yeah
Whoa whoa
Oh I run to you,
I run to you girl
Whoa whoa
I always run to you
Run to you
Run to you

Lady Antebellum- I Run To You
 
I know that the bridges that I've burned
Along the way
Have left me with these walls and these scars
That won't go away
And opening up has always been the hardest thing
Until you came
So lay here beside me just hold me and don't let go
This feelin' I'm feelin' is somethin' I've never known
And I just can't take my eyes off you
And I just can't take my eyes off you
I love when you tell me that I'm pretty
When I just wake up
And I love how you tease me when I'm moody
But it's never too much
I'm falling fast but the truth is I'm not scared at all
You climbed my walls
So lay here beside me just hold me and don't let go
This feelin' I'm feelin' is somethin' I've never known
And I just can't take my eyes off you
And I just can't take my eyes off you
Off you
Off you
So lay here beside me just hold me and don't let go
This feelin' I'm feelin' is somethin' I've never known
And I just can't take my eyes off you
And I just can't take my eyes off you

Lady Antebellum- Can't Take My Eyes Off You
 
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

Sting -Desert Rose
 
I drink too much and I smoke too much
I laugh at all my own jokes too much
I'm hard to tell and soft to touch
And easy at sayin' goodbye

I broke your heart, a thousand times
With wasted nights and ramblin' rhymes
I thought I'd leave, you thought behind
But time just wouldn't, let go

I walk the streets, I kick the cans
Tore down walls with my two hands
And still across, my floor you stand
Willing, to love, again

Out of all the dreams, in this whole world
How'd you get so unlucky girl
To find a shell, that had no pearl
And a man who couldn't, find home

I feel too much, I protect too much
And most times I probably expect too much
I spend my life, on this broken crutch
And you believe I can fly

I walk the streets, I kick the cans
Tore down walls with my two hands
And still across, my floor you stand
Willing, to love, again

And still across, my floor you stand
Willing, to love, again
And still across, my floor you stand
Willing, to love, again

~ Hayes Carll - Willing To Love Again
 
You knew it was bound, to catch me again
Well hello sadness
My old friend
Well it's been awhile
But now I see
You're back in style
Well sit down and rest, I ain't goin' no where
I feel the pain
Like a shot from a gun
Feel it deep in my gut
I'm done tryin' to run
I'm given in, I'm given up
I'm tired of the fight
Well you got my corner
To know it ain't right
Well ill surrender tomorrow if I live through the night.
Well you got my corner
Hell I know it ain't right,
Well Ill surrender tomorrow if I live through the night

~Lucero - Hello Sadness
 
Amber Waves Goodbye
You got a ticket in your pocket
So long Danny boy
Apple seed inside your locket
She’ll miss you Danny boy
It broke your heart, she poisoned the river
Turned brown the azure sky
And every fallen angel weeps when
Amber waves goodbye


In the red glare, fiery mountain
She lost you Danny boy
Echo down the purple mountain
She calls you Danny boy
Was a time you ran to your mother
Took her dancing through the rye
And every fallen angel weeps when
Amber waves goodbye

Spacious skies, In your eyes
Boy, she woke you from that dream
Of youth and innocence
Join the parade of heroes betrayed
whose blind devotions paid the consequence
How she needs you now, Danny boy

Bright white crosses line the hillside
So long Danny boy
She prayed to heaven, But you still died
Please come back Danny boy
God bless the poor she left in the streets
Lord she heard those babies cry
Those little fallen angels weep cause
Amber waves goodbye
Those little fallen angels weep cause
Amber waves goodbye
 
Fountain of Sorrow - Jackson Browne

Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
I was taken by a photograph of you
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true
You were turning 'round to see who was behind you
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes

Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small
Though it hasn't really been that long a time
What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all
Although for a while our path did seem to climb
When you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
Like a fountain from a pool

Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
But that magic feeling never seems to last
And all the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it seems
It would be easier sometimes to change the past
I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
There's this loneliness springing up from your life
Like a fountain from a pool

Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight
To keep understanding and compassion in sight
You could be laughing at me, you've got the right
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
 
They say turn the bright lights on
And there you'll find the truth
Here, open up this book
And now you'll find the proof
It feels like a can of worms
Keep the lid on tight, and they say

Don't let it get too bright
Don't let it get too bright
Don't let it get too bright
No, not this time

They tell me it takes sorrow, boy
To help you feel the joy
They say it takes poverty
To let you love a toy
Now you can't have the good
Until you've shared the bad

Don't let it get too sad
Don't let it get too sad
Don't let it get too sad
No, not this time, time

They say it takes hardship, boy
To let you love the rest
Sometimes underneath the load
Is where I show my best
Go, put your work clothes on
Go and leave your mark
And they say

Don't let it get too dark
Don't let it get too dark
Don't let it get too dark
No, not this time

Widespread Panic - Pleas
 
Beer don't keep
Loves not cheap
Trucks don't wreck themselves.
Momma ain't a shrink
Daddy ain't a bank
And god ain't a wishing well
Money ain't rich
Everybody sins, and nobody wins in a fight
And sometimes wrong is right

Some of it you learn the hard way
Some of it you read on a page
Some of it comes from heartbreak
Most of it comes from age
And none of it ever comes easy
A bunch of it, you maybe can't use
I know I probably don't know what I think I do
But there's somethin' to, some of it

Girls like to laugh
Tears don't last
and scared is what praying is for
If its close swing to bat
Everybody's got a pass
And loves worth living for
When you dance hold her close
Til' the brakes go for broke
And be the first to reach for her hand
We don't get to do some things again

Some of it you learn the hard way,
Some of it you read on a page,
Some of it comes from heartbreak
Most of it comes from age
And none of it ever comes easy
A bunch of it, you maybe can't use
I know I probably don't know what I think I do,
But there's somethin' to, some of it

When you can take it slow
Cause time sure won't
What really makes you a man
Is being true to her until your glass runs out of sand

Some of it you learn the hard way,
Some of it you read on a page,
Some of it comes from heartbreak
Most of it comes from age
And none of it ever comes easy
A bunch of it, you maybe can't use
I know I probably don't know what I think I do,
But there's somethin' to, some of it
Some of it

~Eric Church - Some Of It
 
My friend David was a good kid
He had my back, always knew he did
He was different than most
And maybe I was too
Hanging out with the in-crowd just wasn't our thing
There was a whole lot more than we could see on these plains
Well, some people just seem to get stuck, and hang around
It's college or trade school for those with the means
There's never been any small town dreams
For those in between
Yeah the poor folks they go to work, or they go to war
I did fifteen hundreds days in the corps
And I got back, nothing looked the same anymore
I got on with the local police, it just seemed to fit
Things have changed

By then David had a daughter and a son
And a rap sheet to prove all the time that he'd done
He was just a burned out beat down shell of my old friend
And on a three day binge he was speeding through town
And I bumped the wailers just to try and slow him down
He didn't know that it was me, and he took off
Oh how things change

And I found his truck in the floodplain upside down
It was a hell of a rain I didn't know if he'd drowned
Or if he died on impact, it must have rolled three times
Yeah, the only thing to make matters worse
Is that his mama's a late night ER nurse
And he was DOA, she just about lost her mind

David's wife drops by every once in a while
And childhood stories always make her smile
But somehow we always go back to that day

And I found his truck in the floodplain upside down
It was a hell of a rain, I don't know if he'd drowned
Or if he died on impact, it must have rolled three times
Yeah, the only thing to make matters worse
Is that his mama's a late night ER nurse
And he was DOA, she just about lost her mind

And ain't it the times?

~ Cody Jinx - David

 
Sam Smith - Too Good at Goodbyes

I know you're thinking I'm heartless
I know you're thinking I'm cold
I'm just protecting my innocence
I'm just protecting my soul
I'm never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true...

I’m way too good at goodbyes​
 
When all the tears are rolling down your face
And it feels like yours was the only heart to break
When you come back home and all the lights are out, ooh
And you're getting used to no one else being around

Oh, oh, I'll be there
When you need a little love, I got a little love to share
Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna come through
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you
I'll be there, I'll be there for you
I'll be there, I'll be there for you
Oh, I swear, I got enough love for two, ooh, ooh, ooh
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you

When it's Friday night and the drink don't work the same
You're alone with yourself and there's no one else to blame
When you still can't feel the rhythm of your heart
And you see your spirit fading in the dark

Oh, oh, I'll be there
When you need a little love, I got a little love to share
Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna come through
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you
I'll be there, I'll be there for you
I'll be there, I'll be there for you (I'll be there for you)
Oh, I swear, I got enough love for two, ooh, ooh, ooh
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you

When you're lost down the river bed, I'll be there
When you're lost in the darkness, I'll be there
I'll be there when your heart is breaking
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you
I'll be there

I'll be there, I'll be there for you (I'll be there)
I'll be there, I'll be there for you (ooh, ooh, I'll be there)
Oh, I swear, I got enough love for two, ooh, ooh, ooh
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you, oh
I'll be there, I'll be there for you (I'll be there when your tears are falling)
I'll be there, I'll be there for you (I'll be there, can't you hear me calling?)
Oh, I swear, I got enough love for two, ooh, ooh, ooh
(When your heart is breaking)
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you, ooh

I'll be there for you, ooh
I'll be there for you, ooh
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you, ooh
I'll be there for you, ooh
You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you

 
Save Me (Wake Up Call)
Unwritten Law
Had a bad day, don't talk to me,
Gonna ride this out,

With your big mouth.

And everything's my fault.

You can't change me,
Everything's my fault.
 
Sista
John Butler Trio
Sista, Sista, why can't you see
That I'm a part of you and you're a part of me
And all I want is just to be your friend
So Sista, Sista, won't you let me in
'Cause all your life I have seen you grow
And yes, you are, you're a beautiful woman
And all I wanted is the best for you
Even though sometimes my meaning gets confused
But all I can do is let you know
That I'll be there when ever you call
'Cause I am your family
I am a part of you and you're a part of me, a part of me
So, Sista, Sista, do you feel alone
'Cause the family's apart and brothers all left home
And all you want is someone to talk to
But there's no one there
I'm here, whenever you need me
I'm here, I am your family
I'm here, whenever you are down
All you got to do is look around
And there I am, and there I am
Know I don't get to see you much anymore
But all you got to do is give me a call
And there I'll be, yes I'll be there for you
You'll have someone to talk to
'Cause I am your family
And I'm a part of you and you're a part of me
There isn't a single thing I would not do
Give it all away for you
For you, for you
For you, for you
For you, for you
For you, for you
