show me show me show me how you do that trick the one that makes me scream she said the one that makes me laugh she said and threw her arms around my neck
show me how you do it and i promise you i promise that i'll run away with you i'll run away with you spinning on that dizzy edge i kissed her face and kissed her head and dreamed of all the different ways i had to make her glow why are you so far away? she said but won't you ever know that i'm in love with you? that i'm in love with you? you soft and only you lost and lonely you strange as angels dancing in the deepest oceans Twisting in the water you're just like a dream... you're just like a dream... daylight licked me into shape i must have been asleep for days and moving lips to breathe her name i opened up my eyes and found myself alone alone alone above a raging sea that stole the only girl i loved and drowned her deep inside of me you soft and only you lost and lonely you just like heaven
this is such an awesome song. i had it on repeat part of the day while procrastinating on my project. reminds me of someone. then again, a lot of songs have that effect on people yea?
Hide and Seek ~Imogen Heap
where are we? what the hell is going on? the dust has only just begun to form crop circles in the carpet sinking feeling
spin me round again and rub my eyes, this can't be happening when busy streets a mess with people would stop to hold their heads heavy hide and seek trains and sewing machines all those years they were here first oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before the takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life hide and seek trains and sewing machines (oh, you won't catch me around here) blood and tears (hearts) they were here first Mmmm whatcha say, Mmm that you only meant well? well of course you did Mmmm whatcha say, Mmmm that it's all for the best? of course it is Mmmm whatcha say? Mmmm that it's just what we need you decided this whatcha say? Mmmm what did she say? ransom notes keep falling out your mouth mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs speak no feeling no I don't believe you you don't care a bit, you don't care a bit (hide and seek) ransom notes keep falling out your mouth mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs (hide and seek) speak no feeling no i don't believe you you don't care a bit, you don't care a (you don't care a) bit (hide and seek) oh no, you don't care a bit oh no, you don't care a bit (hide and seek) oh no, you don't care a bit you don't care a bit you don't care a bit
Well you've 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 Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention I reckon its 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 people dance and sing, were just one big family It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love 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 Do you want to, come on, scootch over closer dear And I will nibble your ear 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 I laughed I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason To rid yourself of vanities 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 There's no need to complicate Our time is short This is our fate, 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 that the sky is yours so please don't please don't please don't. There's no need to complicate 'cause our time is short This oh this oh this is our fate I'm yours Oh I'm yours I won't hesitate no more Oh no more no more no more It's our God-forsaken right to be loved, I'm sure There's no need to complicate Our time is short This is our fate, I'm yours No I won't hesitate no more, no more This cannot wait I'm sure There's no need to complicate Our time is short This is our fate, I'm yours, I'm yours
...was thinking of this song by Imogen Heap today on my run. haven't heard it since last year at TEDGlobal. i was sitting somewhere in the first 5 rows there amazed at how awesome she was.
Wait It Out ~ Imogen Heap
Where do we go from here? How do we carry on? I can't get beyond the questions. Clambering for the scraps In the shatter of us collapsed. That cuts me with every could-have-been.
Pain on pain on play, repeating With the backup makeshift life in waiting. Everybody says: "Time heals everything." But what of the wretched hollow? The endless in-between? Are we just going to wait it out? There's nothing to see here now, Turning the sign around; We're closed to the Earth 'til further notice. Stumbling cliché case - Crumpled and puffy-faced - Dead in the stare of a thousand miles. All I want: only one street-level miracle. I'll be a an out-and-out, born again from none more cynical. Everybody says that time heals everything all in the end. But what of the wretched hollow? The endless in-between? Are we just going to wait it out? And sit here cold? We'll be long gone by then. And lackluster in dust we lay 'round old magazines. Fluorescent lighting sets the scene For all we could and should be being In the one life that we've got. (Musical interlude) In the one life that we've got. Everybody says that time heals everything. But what of the wretched hollow? The endless in-between? Are we just going to wait it out? Sit here. Just going to wait it out? Sit here cold. Just going to sweat it out? Wait it out.
forgot how much i love this song until it shuffled in on mile 3 today.
Seasons ~Good Charlotte
Summer air reminds me of All the feelings of your love And what it was like When we were together Walking all along the beach You were never far from reach And you held me Through stormy weather And I wanna fall in love Tonight And I remember when you said Everything's gonna be alright Laying in the summer grass You told me not to talk so fast As I told you How I feel You made me feel right at home You told me I was not alone And you knew Just how I feel I know we talked about it I just can't get around it I just want one more night with you I wanna fall in love Tonight And I remember when you said Everything's gonna be alright October air reminds me of All the seasons of your love And what it was like When we were together The smell of fall is everywhere And though it seems I just don't care 'Cause now you've gone away I wanna fall in love Tonight And I remember when you said Everything's gonna be alright Alright I wanna fall in love I wanna fall in love Tonight
I see the things you do Do you think I wander through, half-blind? I see the things you hide The fear you have inside is nothing new
But I would never want to find out Everything about you Cause I would never want to find out What I thought wasn’t true Your mind is a place I don’t need to embrace What you’ve got in your heart is enough For me to start breaking through Closer to you Closer to you I love you as you are Near and not too far Out of view I love the way you walk To hear it when you talk Like you do But I would never want to choose What I like best About you Cause I would never want to spoil That mystery With a clue Your mind is a place I don’t need to embrace What you’ve got in your heart is enough For me to start With enough holes in my soul I don’t need your rock-n-roll to stay in tune And open to you Open to you Oh the abyss Mess of all those frustrating fools They wander all around Black and white, no sound, no improvements But I see something on a TV With a smell and a choice When I feel yours and my heart beating With the wealth of the universe Your mind is a place I don’t need to embrace What you’ve got in your heart is enough For me to start making your happiness my own Open up and let me show what I can do When I am closer to you Closer to you
Carve Your Heart Out Yourself ~Dashboard Confessional
Carve your heart out yourself Hopelessness is your cell Since you've drawn out these lines Are you protected from trying times?
Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all Oh look now, there you go with hope again Oh, you're so sure I'll be leaving in the end Dig a ditch deep enough To keep you clear of the sun You've been burned more than once You don't think much of trust Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all Oh look now, there you go with hope again But I'll be sure your secret is safe with me Oh, you're so sure I'll be leaving in the end Treating me like I'm already gone But I'm not, I will stay where you are always I will stay, I will stay, I will stay (all of now) [repeat to fade out]
Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself And covered with a perfect shell Such a charming, beautiful exterior Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes Perfect posture, but you're barely scraping by But you're barely scraping by
This is one time, this is one time That you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone Or anyone at all...or anyone at all And the grave that you refuse to leave The refuge that you've built to flee, The places that you've come to fear the most, Is the place that you have come to fear the most.
Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself And hidden in the public eye Such a stellar monument to loneliness Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes Perfect make-up, but you're barely scraping by But you're barely scraping by...
Well this is one time, well this is one time That you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone Or anyone at all...or anyone at all And the grave that you refuse to leave The refuge that you've built to flee, The places that you've come to fear the most, Is the place that you have come to fear the most.
And you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone Or anyone at all..or anyone at all And the grave that you refuse to leave The refuge that you've built to flee, The places that you've come to fear the most, Is the place that you've come to fear the most, Is the place that you have come to fear the most.
A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets of serenade Laying everybody low with a love song that he made Find a streetlight, steps out of the shade Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack" He's underneath the window, she's singing Hey, la, my boyfriend's back" You shouldn't come around here, singing up at people like that Anyway what you gonna do about it?Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start And I bet and you exploded in my heart And I forget, I forget the movie song When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same And I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real How can you look at me, as if I was just another one of your deals?you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin Now you just say, "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry I said, "I love you like the stars above, "I love you till I die" And there's a place for us, you know the movie song When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you I Can't do anything except be in love with youAnd all I do is miss you and the way we used to be All I do is keep the beat, the bad company And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any timeJuliet, when we made love, you used to cry I said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die" And there's a place for us, you know the movie song When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?A lovestruck Romeo, he sings the streets of serenade Laying everybody low with a love song that he made Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
~ Dire Straits
...love this song. actually prefer the Indigo Girls version below.
...after the warm up, this is the song i've been kicking off my runs with. a bit high octane. like the equivelant of screaming into your pillow in order to let out a vent, only you're pounding the pavement instead.
(When this began) I had nothing to say And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me (I was confused) And I let it all out to find That I'm not the only person with these things in mind (Inside of me) But all that they can see the words revealed Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel (Nothing to lose) Just stuck,hollow and alone And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal I wanna feel, what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long (Erase all the pain 'til it's gone) I wanna heal I wanna feel, like I'm close to something real I wanna find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong And I've got nothing to say I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face (I was confused) Looking everywhere, only to find That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind (So what am I) What do I have but negativity 'Cause I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me (Nothing to lose) Nothing to gain, hollow and alone And the fault is my own, the fault is my own I wanna heal I wanna feel, what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long (Erase all the pain 'til it's gone) I wanna heal I wanna feel, like I'm close to something real I wanna find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong I will never know Myself until I do this on my own And I will never feel Anything else until my wounds are healed I will never be Anything 'til I break away from me I will break away I'll find myself today I wanna heal I wanna feel, what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long (Erase all the pain 'til it's gone) I wanna heal I wanna feel, like I'm close to something real I wanna find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong I wanna heal I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong I wanna heal I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong Somewhere I belong...
