Flume Lyrics - Bon Iver

I am my mother's only one
It's enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon
I am my mother on the wall, with us all
I move in water, shore to shore
Nothing's more
Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leary loons
Leaving rope burns --
Reddish ruse
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

Love Story Lyrics - Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I’m standing there on a balcony of summer air

I see the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello, little did I know…

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet”
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don’t go…and I said…

Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone
I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story, baby, just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, because we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while

Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet”
But you were everything to me
I was begging you, please don’t go…and I said

Romeo save me, they’re trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult but it’s real
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess
It’s a love story, baby, just say yes

I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading when I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said...

Romeo save me, I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head I don’t know what to think
He kneels to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

Marry me Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone
I love you, and that’s all I really know
I talked to your dad, you’ll pick out the white dress
It’s a love story, baby just say, yes…
We were both young when I first saw you.

Better Together Lyrics - Jack Johnson

There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing but I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepiatone loving
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here and where do we go and how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together

It's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings
And brings new things for tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too, too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between
With only two, just me and you, not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be we'll sit beneath the mango tree now

It's always better when we're together
We're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

I believe in memories they look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up, you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time, and there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no, combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing we're better together

I Don't Know Lyrics - Lisa Hannigan

I don't know what you smoke or what countries you've been to
If you speak any other languages other than your own, I'd like to meet you
I don't know if you drive, if you love the ground beneath you
I don't know if you write letters or panic on the phone, I'd like to call you
All the same, if you want to, I am game

I don't know if you can swim or if the sea has any draw for you
If you're better in the morning or when the sun goes down, I'd like to call you
I don't know if you can dance, if the thought ever occurred to you
If you eat what you've been given or push it round your plate, I'd like to cook
for you all the same, I would want to, I am game

If you walk my way and I could keep my head we will feel our way
Through the dark or maybe not, we could shoot it down anyway

I don't know if you read novels or the magazines
If you love the hand that feeds you
I assume that your heart's been bruised I know I'd like to know you
You don't know if I can draw at all or what records I am into
If I sleep like a spoon or rarely at all or maybe you would do?
Or maybe you would do

If you walk our way I will keep my head we will feel our way through the dark
Though I don't know you I think that I would do I don't fall easy at all

One More Day Lyrics - Vast

Have you heard
Have you tried to understand
It's all right
It gets easier with time
How are you
Are you ever coming back
I have changed
And I've realized I was wrong
I was wrong
Now I'll never see your face anymore
Oh my Love
I'd give anything for one more day with you
I'm getting through
I wish you felt the way I do
I have changed
And I've realized I was wrong
I was wrong
Now I'll never see your face anymore
Oh my Love
I'd give anything for one more day with you

The Cure for Pain Lyrics - Jon Foreman

I'm not sure why it always goes downhill
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
I've spent ten years singing gravity away
But the water keeps on falling from the sky

And here tonight while the stars are blacking out
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt
I've spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I've tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
It would be a lie to run away

So blood is fire pulsing through our veins
We're either riders or fools behind the reins
I've spent ten years trying to sing it all way
But the water keeps on falling from my tries

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I've tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
It would be a lie to run away
A lie to run
It would be a lie
It would be a lie to run away

It keeps on falling
It keeps on falling
It keeps on falling
It keeps on falling
Water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
It would be a lie to run away
It would be a lie to run away
It would be a lie to run away

Ain't No Reason Lyrics - Brett Drennen

There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday
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 got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend you 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 'bout death
Every little hearbeat, every little breath
People walk a tight rope on a razor's 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

There ain't no reason things are this way
It's 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 my 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 cold, suffocating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move
The 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
Labor is stiched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love I try to follow

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

Alexandra Leaving Lyrics - A Leonard Cohen Song as Interpreted by Jenny Gear

Suddenly the night has grown colder.
The god of love preparing to depart.
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
They slip between the sentries of the heart.

Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;
And radiant beyond your widest measure
They fall among the voices and the wine.

It’s not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust –
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.

Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
Do not say that moment was imagined;
Do not stoop to strategies like this.

As someone long prepared for this to happen,
Go firmly to the window. Drink it in.
Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing.
Your first commitment is tangible again.

And you who had the honor of her evening,
And by that honor had your own restored –
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving;
Alexandra's leaving with her lord.

As someone long prepared for the occasion;
In full command of every plan you wrecked –
Do not choose a coward’s explanation
That hides behind the cause and the effect.

And you who were bewildered by her meaning;
Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed –
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.

Fall At Your Feet Lyrics - Neil Finn

I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
And I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go I'll be there when you call

And whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
Words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you, go
I'll be waiting when you call

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead, I fall, I fall

Whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears, let it rain, let it rain down on me
Whenever I fall, whenever I fall

32 Flavors Lyrics - Ani Difranco

Squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you're going to get hungry
And eat most of the words you just said

Both my parents taught me about good will
And I have done well by their names
Just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
Is more than I can explain
Still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
Just so I would think they were not home
And hid in the dark of their windows
'Til I'd passed and left them alone

And god help you if you are an ugly girl
'Course too pretty is also your doom
Cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
For the prettiest girl in the room
And god help you if you are a phoenix
And you dare to rise up from the ash
A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
While you are just flying back

I'm not trying to give my life meaning
By demeaning you
And I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
Io, I will never be a saint
But I will always say

Close Your Eyes Lyrics - Kelly Clarkson

I don't mind waiting here, I know you're coming
Even though the others left right here
But I'm not one to give up
We said forever so I'm standing here, I'm standing here
And I don't mind, you would never leave me behind

If you break, I break too
When you're lonely, I'll hold on to you
I see you closing down, but I won't give up now
I'm gonna fight for you tonight, close Your Eyes

You might fall and I might cry, covered in bruises
I refuse to let this tear apart our lives
Others talk, let them talk
Love isn't easy but it's worth for you
You're worth it yeah

And I'm kissing you
Kiss away those fears and hold on too
And I feel it too
And if you start to fall, I promise I'll fall with you

No I don't mind waiting here
I know you're coming even though the others left right here
But I'm not one to give up
We said forever so I'm standing here, I'm standing here

The Biggest Lie Lyrics - Elliott Smith

I'm waiting for the train
The subway that only goes one way
The stupid thing that will come to pull us apart
And make everybody late
You spent everything you had
Wanted everything to stop that bad
And now I'm a crushed credit card registered to Smith
Not the name that you call me with
You turned white like a saint
I'm tired of dancing on a pot of gold flake paint
Oh, we're so very precious, you and I
And everything that you do makes me want to die
Oh, I just told the biggest lie
I just told the biggest lie
The biggest lie

The Story Lyrics - Brandi Carlile

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks, you do
I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I'm Yours Lyrics - Jason Mraz

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment baby sing with me
I love peace for melody
And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more it cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue
I won't hesitate no more, no more it cannot wait I'm sure

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate 'cause our time is short
This oh this this is out fate, I'm yours

Let Your Love Be Strong Lyrics - Switchfoot

In this world of news, I've found nothing new
I've found nothing pure
Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume the truth
Could be fact and form? That love could be a verb
Maybe I'm just a little misinformed

As the dead moon rises, and the freeways sigh
Let the trains watch over the tides and the mist
Spinning circles in our skies tonight
Let the trucks roll in from Los Angeles
Maybe our stars are unanimously tired

Let your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down
Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes
All of my world hanging on your love

Let the wars begin, let my strength wear thin
Let my fingers crack, let my world fall apart
Train the monkeys on my back to fight
Let it start tonight
When my world explodes, when my stars touch the ground
Falling down like broken satellites

All that I am hanging on
All of my world resting on your love

All Eternal Things Lyrics - Trembling Blue Stars

Although there is now hope, embers of sadness still glow.
Something hasn't quite flown.
But I know you're there to catch me now.

All eternal things, the moon, the sea, the turning leaves
Speak to something within.
And you, ease the longing too.
My reason. My sunlight. My lifeline.

All eternal things and you, how this frightened heart they soothe.
You and the seasons will pull me through.
Will calm and comfort, and always be beautiful.
You and the seasons will pull me through.

I know you won't let go of the string.
I know you won't let this kite be taken by the wind.

Up to the Mountain Lyrics - Patty Griffin

I went up to the mountain because you asked me to
Up over the clouds to where the sky was blue
I could see all around me everywhere
I could see all around me everywhere

Sometimes I feel like I've never been nothing but tired
And I'll be walking till the day I expire
Sometimes I lay down no more can I do
But then I go on again because you asked me to

Some days I look down afraid I will fall
And though the sun shines I see nothing at all
And I hear your sweet voice, oh
Oh, come and then go, come and then go
Telling me softly you love me so

The peaceful valley just over the mountain
The peaceful valley few come to know
I may never get there ever in this lifetime
But sooner or later it's there I will go
Sooner or later it's there I will go

Never Think Lyrics - Robert Pattinson

Just never think what's in your heart
What's in our home, it's all I want
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
Telling you to hold off, she said hold on
It's the one thing that I've known
Once I put my coat on
And how I know it's all wrong
She 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 it's too far gone
And before nothing can be done

Cause without me you got it all so hold on
Without me you got it all so hold on

When the Rain Comes Lyrics - Third Day

When the rain comes
It seems that everyone has gone away
When the night falls
You wonder if you shouldn't find someplace
To run and hide, escape the pain
But hiding's such a lonely thing to do

I can't stop the rain
From falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain
But I will hold you 'til it goes away

When the rain comes
You blame it on the things that you have done
When the storm fades
You know that rain must fall on everyone
So rest awhile, it'll be alright
No one loves you like I do

When the rain comes
I will hold you

With or Without You Lyrics - U2

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, you give
You give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body's bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

Fidelity Lyrics - Regina Spektor

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind all these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music

And it breaks my heart (3x)
It breaks my heart

And suppose I never ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you, suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better better better better

I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind all these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music
And it breaks my heart, it breaks my heart

I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all of this music

It breaks my heart, it breaks my heart

Flightless Bird Lyrics - Iron and Wine

I was a quick wet boy diving too deep for coins
All of your straight blind eyes wide on my plastic toys
And when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you? American mouth
Big bill looming

Now I'm a fat house cat cursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the white fence cracks
Kissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
Or lost you? American mouth
Big bill, stuck going down

If I Had Eyes Lyrics - Jack Johnson

If I had eyes in the back of my head
I would tell you that you looked good as I walked away
If you could've tried to trust the hand that fed
You would've never been hungry but you never really be

The more of this or less of this or is there any difference
Or are we just holding onto the things we don't have anymore

Sometimes time doesn't heal no, not at all
Just stand still while we fall
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
they won't let me in, always looking out

Lot of people spend their time just floating
We were victims together but lonely
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
Building with bent nails we're
falling but holding, I don't wanna take up anymore of your time
Time time time

Somewhere Over The Rainbow Lyrics - Israel Kamakawiwo Ole'

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top, that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
And the dream that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?

Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world, world

9 Crimes Lyrics - Damien Rice

Leave me out with the waste, this is not what I'd do
It's the wrong kind of place to be thinking of you
It's the wrong time for somebody new
It's a small crime and I've got no excuse

Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?

Leave me out with the waste, this is not what I'd do
It's the wrong kind of place to be cheating on you
It's the wrong time she's pulling me through
It's a small crime and I've got no excuse

Wild Horses Lyrics - Natasha Bedingfield

I feel these four walls closing in, my face up against the glass
I'm looking out...hmm
Is this my life I'm wondering? It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
Its greener pastures I'm thinking about hmm
Wide open spaces far away

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared

Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
Run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses..yeah

I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare back, care free along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head first headlong without a thought
To act and damn the consequence, how I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence I wanna break free

I wanna run too.
Recklessly abandoning my self before you
I wanna open up my heart tell him how I feel

Waiting Song Lyrics - Theresa Sokyrka

I wonder if I cheated all the things
that have been mistreated in your life.
And maybe I just planted a view
that could've been quite slanted, how can I win?
You travel more than me and have seen
so many things I've seen and so much more.
I feel the need to follow only for the words
I swallowed if I ever believed.

And you're waiting by the door.
And I can see from a mile away
your roots have thorns.
And you're waiting by the door.

I'll probably never be to as many places
I've seen in my mind.
And I know that if I sit here and grin
then maybe it'll be all right.
Though I know my story will go well
with all your glory, I feel it just the same.
I realize, I never really knew about that anyway.

See You Soon Lyrics - Coldplay

So you lost you trust
And you never should have, no you never should have
But don't break your back, if you ever see this
Don't answer that

'Coz in a bullet-proof vest, with the windows all closed
I'll been doing my best and I'll see you soon
In a telescope lens, and when all you want is friends,
I'll see you soon

So they came for you, they come snapping at your heels
They come snapping at your heels
Don't break your back, if you ever see this
Don't answer that

I'll see you soon

And oh, you lost your trust
Oh no, you lost your trust
No, don't lose your trust
No, you lost your trust
