Surrounded(Or spiraling)

Remember when you were the hunted
Remember when I swallowed you in
Remember the rewards shimmering on the floor
Off the plastic chandelier
Remember when I saw you in orbit
Remember when I pulled you back in
Remember looking on blinking into the dawn
Thinking how this will never end

Surrounded
Let's romanticize
Our beloved memories
Surrounded
Let's demonize
Our softest injuries
Surrounded
Can we get behind
Distortion and liberties
Surrounded
We're surrounded or spiraling

Remember when I played assassin
Remember when my joking turned grim
Remember how we thought if we followed the dots
It would stop all the accidents
Remember when you broke my halo
Remember when I tied your wings in
Remember how we slipped on the lies we equipped
Just to bring back the goods again

Surrounded
Let's romanticize
Our beloved memories
Surrounded
Let's demonize
Our softest injuries
Surrounded
Can we get behind
Distortion and liberties
Surrounded
We're surrounded or spiraling

Is it perfect in our little Hell
Are you dancing or stumbling beside me
Well this might not be
We'll just wait and see

So now that we've stopped hearing echoes
And now that the replay wore thin
Just remember who held you
Remember who held you
Remember who held you
Remember who held you
Remember who held you

Surrounded
Let's romanticize
Our beloved memories
Surrounded
Let's demonize
Our softest injuries
Surrounded
Can we get behind
Distortion and liberties
Surrounded
We're surrounded or spiraling

Is it perfect in our little Hell

Blue Eyes

Wish enough, wise man'll tell you a lie
Window broke, torn up screens
Who'd have thought that you'd dream
Of a single tragic scene

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of you

Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
Cause Blue Eyes
You're the sweet to my mean

Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna be the one that's true

Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes

All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are

Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny's scene
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna be the one

I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna get it on with you

Cause Blue Eyes
You're the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna sing a song with you

(Cary Brothers)

I'll do anything

Go make your next choice be your best choice
And if you're looking for a boy with a voice, well baby I'm single
Are you in the mood for some dude, are you in the mood to be subdued
Or would you rather just mingle?
Let's get set then to go then and let us jet set we'll be like the jetsons
You can be Jane my wife. Should I marry Jane tonight?

I would if I could. I'd do anything spontaneously.

Or we can keep chilling like ice cream filling
We can be cool in the gang if you'd rather hang
Ain't no thing. I can be lugubrious with you.
I got no ifs ands ors no wits or whats about it
But this place is getting crowded and my house is two blocks away
Or maybe closer

I would if I could. I'd do anything spontaneously.
You know I would, if I could. I'll do anything spontaneously.

If you could be nimble, you'd have it simple just like me.
So go on and try it, do not deny yourself your freedom.

So step on up to the plate get a date with Mraz
See you better act fast because supplies they never
Now did you know this is limited time offer
So go make your mind up before our times up
You better start winding it up because the party's almost over
(and if you should know girl, go a little bit lower now)

see how I would, if I could. I'd do anything spontaneously.
You know I would, and I can prove it. I'll do anything spontaneously.

(Words: Jason Mraz)

Do you remember?

Do you remember when we first met?
I sure do
It was some time
In early September
You were lazy about it
You made me wait around
I was so crazy about you
I didn't mind
So I was late for class
I locked my bike to yours
It wasn't hard to find
You painted flowers on
Guess that I was afraid
That if you rode away
You might not roll back
My direction real soon
Well I was crazy about you then
And now the craziest thing of all
Over 10 years have gone by
And you're still mine
We're locked in time
Let's rewind

Do you remember
When we first moved in together?
The piano took up the living room
You'd play me boogie woogie
I played you love songs
You'd say we're playing house
Now you still say we are
We built our get away
Up in a tree we found
We felt so far away
Though we were still in town
Now I remember watching
That old tree burn down
I took a picture that
I don't like to look at

Well all these times
They come and go
Alone don't seem so long
Over 10 years have gone by
We can't rewind
We're locked in time
But you're still mine

Do you remember?
(Words: Jack Johnson)

No other way

When your mind is a mess
So is mine
I cant sleep
Cause it hurts when I think
My thoughts aren't at peace
With the plans that we make
Chances we take
They're, not yours and not mine
There's waves that can break
All the words that we say
And the words that we mean
Words can fall short
Can't see the unseen
Cause the world is awake
For somebody's sake now, please close your eyes woman
Please get some sleep

And know that if I knew
All of the answers I would
Not hold them from you'd
Know all the things that i'd know
We told each other, there is no other way

Well too much silence can be misleading
You're drifting I can hear it in the way that your breathing
We don't really need to find reason
Cause out the same door that it came well its leaving its leaving
Leaving like a day that's done and part of a season
Resolve is just a concept that's as dead as the leaves
But at least we can sleep, its all that we need
When we wake we will find
Our minds will be free to go to sleep

And know that if I knew
All of the answers I would
Not hold them from you'd
Know all the things that i'd know
We told each other, there is no other way
(Words: Jack Johnson)

Decrescendo

And I knew that you just couldn't wait
To put your sharpened dagger in
And watch the look on my face
It was all you were searching for
A picture frame consistent
To being alone
Now we're content with illusions
And our arm length smiles

Did you get what you wanted
Did you get what you wanted now
This is all that I'm asking
Cause its the love we're forgetting now
Did you take what you wanted
Did you get what you wanted from me
This is all that I'm asking
This is all that I'm asking you

Oh the years that have all been erased
No superficial shelter could ever replace
And its all you we're searching for
Another adequate replacement
To walk through your door
We're content with illusions
And our downhill eyes

Did you get what you wanted
Did you get what you wanted now
This is all that I'm asking
Cause its the love I'm forgetting now
Did you get what you wanted
Did you take what you wanted from me
This is all that I'm asking
Yeah this is all that I'm asking

Have you ever felt what it means to be truly alone?
Stop and think right now
Have you ever been alone?
Have you ever felt so cold?
Have you ever felt to truly alone?
So freezing cold?
So find the fakest elation I hope it takes you away
Now I've got it all worked out now
Just a memory, picture framed illusion

Did you get what you wanted
Did you get what you wanted now
This is all that I'm asking
Cause its the love I'm forgetting now
Did you get what you wanted
Did you take what you needed from me
This is all that I'm asking
This is all that I'm asking

Did you get what you wanted?
NOW!!!!!!
(Words by Matt Embree)

Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner

Drink down that Gin and Kerosene,
And come spit on bridges with me,
Just to keep us warm.
Light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave me be.

I keep my jealousy close,
'Cause it's all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
Then I'm not the only one lying.

Keep quiet,
Nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
And your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure every day.

And I keep my jealousy close,
'Cause it's all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
Then I'm not the only one lying.

Drink down that Gin and Kerosene,
And come spit on bridges with me,
Just to keep us warm.
Light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave me...

So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down.
I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.
(Keep quiet,
Nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.)


(So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down.
I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.)

(Lyrics: Pete Wentz)

Reinventing The Wheel To Run Myself Over

I could walk this fine line between elation and success,
but we all know which way I'm going to strike the stake between my chest.
So, "You have to prove yourself".
You'll have to prove it to me.

So now you're waiting up for him...
You're wasting time every time

Whoa, I can't do it by myself. [x5]

I can't wake up to these reminders of who I am:
A failure at everything... 18 going on extinct.
I know my place it's nowhere you should roam.

So now you're waiting up for him...
Still wasting time, yeah, every time
Yeah

Whoa, I can't do it by myself. [x8]

You have to prove it!

(Fall out boy)

Tie your monster down

I'm gonna buy a house for everyone I love
And we'll all reside above the empty streets
And I'm gonna dig a grave for everyone I hate
When their lives get in my way

Won't you please give me something to calm my weary mind
Because I did not have the time to work it out

There are angels in my bedroom, they've been sleeping on my fan
They say, "Sweet Taylor, lift your eyes up and understand
That the world, it keeps on moving at an uncompromising pace
So keep the spring under your step and keep the sunlight on your face."


Won't you please give me something to calm my weary mind
Because I did not have the time to work it out


Won't you please give me something to calm my weary mind
Because I did not have the time to work it out


Won't you please give me something to calm my weary mind
Because I did not have the time to work it out

You've got to raise your voice sometimes to get things done
I'm not the monster here.
You've got to break some legs sometimes to get things done.
I'm not the monster here.

You've got to make time to break bones!
You're never gonna calm me down!

(quiet company)

Peculiar People

We can fly with the wings of eagles
We can fly with the wings of eagles
We are peculiar people this I know
We can fly with the wings of eagles

We are peculiar people
We are peculiar people
We must set our hope and future to the sky
We are peculiar people
We are peculiar people
We will shed our human skin and learn to fly

With a word we can drown a mountain
With a word we can drown a mountain
Into the seas surrounding don't you know
With a word we can drown a mountain

We are peculiar people
We are peculiar people
There is more to who we are than meets the eye
We are peculiar people
We are peculiar people
And no one will convince me otherwise

We were born to, we were born to fly
You and I, we're summoned to the sky
We were born to, we were, we were born to fly

(mutemath)

You and your heart

Watch you when you say
What you are and when you blame
Everyone, You broken king
Watch you change the frame or
Watch you when you take your aim
At the sum of everything

Cause you and your heart
Shouldn't feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard

You lay there in the street
Like broken glass reflecting pieces of the sun
But you're not the flame
You got the people passing by
Because you know what you don't like
It's just so easy, it's just so easy

But you and your heart
Shouldn't feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard
Oh and you and your heart
Shouldn't feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard

You just scratch so many lines in the sand
Lost the fingernails on your hands
How you're gonna scratch any backs?
Better hope that time will take our lines away
Take all our lines and

Hope that time will take our lines and
Hope that time will take our lines away
Take all our lines away
(words by Jack Johnson)

Catch & Release

Pardon me
Want to live in a fantasy
Quietly
Show you everything you'll ever need
I hope you'll take it
I know you're faking just a little bit
Come on and taste it
Just get excited 'cause you're giving it

Come and see
How the wind in your hair will feel differently
Catch and release the lure above

Here we are
In a backwater overflow
Later on
don't say I didn't tell you so
Maybe I didn't but you're taking it
Knew you were faking just a little bit
Now that you taste it
No need to fight it 'cause you're giving it

Follow me down the streams of sweat on your body
Can't believe the lure was enough
Do you see how the wind in your hair now feels differently
Catch and release the lure above

And who knows
And how this feeling grows
Was it truly worth, truly worth the starting
And who knows
Why the engine's blown
Hope it's truly worth, truly worth the parting

Follow me down the streams of sweat on your body
Can't believe the lure was enough
Do you see how the wind in your hair now feels differently, oh
Catch and release the lure above

Guess the lure was enough
Guess the lure was enough
Yes the lure was enough

(Silversun Pickups)

Flathead

Well, just because she feeds me well
And she made me talk dirty in a pink hotel
It doesn't mean she's got eyes for me
She might just want my bones, you see

And hey, flathead, don't you get mean
She's the second best killer that I ever have seen
They don't come much more sick than you
I could go on if you want me to

It's just so wrong, so very nice
And I told you once and you killed me twice
I saw you one time at the back of the club
Chewing on glass and a ticket stub

Said "I heard you kicked the boy until he bled
Then you stood and said oh my God until she said"

Well, everybody knows you're the one to call
When the girls get ugly around the back of the wall
Josephine says you got a bleeding nose
She's taking it with her wherever she goes

Hey, flathead, don't check me in
Well hers is a tonic and mine is a gin
They don't come much more slick than you
I'd drive your car if you ask me to

Said the boy's not right in the head
And he stood and got a kicking instead until she said

And she said the boy's not right in the head
Then stood and said oh my God until she said
(The Fratellis - Flathead)

Whistle for the choir

Well it's a big big city and it's always the same
Can never be too pretty tell me your name
Is it out of line if I was to be bold and say "Would you be mine"?

Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen
And though I may be on a downer I�m still ready to dream
Though it's 3 o'clock the time is just the time it takes for you to talk

So if you're lonely
Why'd you say you're not lonely?
Oh you're a silly girl, I know I heard it so
It's just like you to come and go
And oh me, no you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you 's just irresistible

Well it's a big big city and the lights are all out
But it's much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess, my hearts so broke in pieces
And my heads a mess
And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
And it's you, woo hoo
That's got me going crazy for the things you do

So if you're crazy, I don't care you amaze me
But you're a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible

So if you're lonely
Why'd you say you're not lonely?
Oh you're a silly girl, I know I heard it so
It's just like you to come and go
And oh me, no you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible

(The Fratellis - Whistle for the choir)

Please come home

Please oh please come home today.
If you dont go I cant say no and it will hurt twice more.
Baby, I cant stop for my own desire.
I wrenched my heart with misery and everybody knows.

Please oh please come home to me.
I begged, I begged for these eyes to stop seeing.
Before the loneliness you know its your embrace i miss.
Oh please stick to sewing up the stitches.

Dig down deep with your fingertips. Feeling for the perfect shape and color codes that match for
The lock upon the bolt that shut the door there to that old man's heart.
Long forgotten the keys location so he can load his gun.

But the clouds are getting gray and it looks about to rain.
And shes shaking off the morning while i'm trying to convince her that the pain thats in my belly aint because I cant maintain.
I just havn't felt like feeling for the past couple of days.

When she wakes up, peels the blankets, yawns approval to the baby sun, I squint my eyes and smile when she opens up the closet door with that body bare and beautiful, and contemplates the cloth in which to drape around her frame.

Got substitutes for stoking up the flame that keeps the pain outside.
The perfected perimiter, a place i like to hide.
But it burns, burns down till the fire is extinguished.
And im so cold when im alone in bed, when i wont stop quivering.

Please oh please come home to me.
I've bled, I've bled for these eyes to stop seeing.
Swallow sorrow with the chaser and a wince.
And listen to my promise even if i cant convince you.
Oh even if I can't convince you

(lyrics by Matt Embree)

Better together

here'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 we're 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
we'll look at them stars when we're together

and all of these moments
just might find there way into my dreams tonight
but i know that they'll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
but 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'll 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

it's always better when we're together
we're somewhere in between 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 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
(lyrics by Jack Johnson)

Running from safety

Pittsburgh was alright,
found somewhere to stay last night/
some face at the show
with some place that we could go/
day breaks once more,
I wake up on someone's floor/
morning is here,
say the spilt ashtrays and half-filled beers

*CHORUS*
just running from safety,
like nothing can save me/
escape has enslaved me
with running away

its 7am and
I'm not quite sure where I am/
the sounds in the dark
of someone preparing for work/
a stretch and a yawn,
I still got my work clothes on/
cos my 9 to 5
is doing a ten hour drive

*2nd CHORUS*
just running from nothing,
not sure of the sure thing/
to stare at a small screen
and jump when the phone rings

#BRIDGE#
westbound on the 70,
three hours from Cinci

just running from safety,
like nothing can save me/
escape has enslaved me
with running away

(Chris murray - running from safety)

Goodbye

We don't have to try running from each other,
I read your eyes, you don't have to bother.
Maybe we'll survive if we don't discover
One life ties to another.

'Cause the world won't turn
If the sun won't rise.
And the stars won't burn,
In a broken sky.
And the wind won't surf
If the ocean's dry.
And my heart won't work
If you say goodbye.

If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye
My hearts in trouble.

I'd rather die holding one another,
Your hand in mine, it's easier to suffer.
I understand why the world is out of colour,
One life ties to another.

'Cause the world won't turn
If the sun won't rise.
And the stars won't burn,
In a broken sky.
And the wind won't surf
If the ocean's dry.
And my heart won't work
If you say goodbye.

If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye
My hearts in trouble.
Oh,
If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye
My hearts in trouble.

Oh, before it never mattered,
And oh,
Oh, before it never mattered,
And oh,
Ohhh...

'Cause the world won't turn
If the sun won't rise.
And my heart won't work
If you say goodbye.
If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye
My hearts in trouble.
Oh,
If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye
My hearts in trouble.
(Mute Math - Goodbye)

A beautiful mess

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are
Here we are

Here we are
Here we are
Here we are

We're still here
What a beautiful mess, this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"

Through, timeless words and priceless pictures We'll fly like birds not of this earth

And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together

And we, tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But its nice today. Oh the way it was so worth it.

(Lyrics by Jason Mraz)
