Some Of My Favorite Songs

"GIVIN' UP ON YOU" BY: LARA FABIAN Silence and quiet ~ Again my life ~ Far from these moments ~ I wish I was~ Passion and truth ~ We were about ~ Before these shadows ~ Stole the beat of our hearts~ After all we have been through ~ I can only look at you ~ Through the eyes you lied to ~ I'm givin' up, givin' up ~ I'm givin' up on you ~ After all if there is no way out ~ If you cannot stand beside me ~ If there isn't love ~ There is only pride ~ I'm givin' up, I'm givin' up this fight~ Undo this leash~ You say I tied~ When only our fears are to blame this time~ And what am I to you~ Just spit it out~ I'm not afraid of the words that you hide~ Chorus~ Where do we go ~ Where did it all crash ~ When did it start to fall apart~ Silence and quiet ~ Passion, the truth ~ Shadows, only shadows~ After all if there is no way out ~ If you cannot stand beside me ~ If there isn't love ~ There is only pride ~ I'm givin' up, I'm givin' up~ Chorus~ I'm givin' up, I'm givin' up

"I MISS YOU" BY INCUBUS To see you, when I wake up is a gift I didn't think could be real. To know that you feel the same as I do is a three-fold utopian dream. You do something to me that I can't explain. So would I be out of line if I said, I miss you.(?) I see your picture, I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine. You have only been gone ten days, but already I'm wastin away. I know I'll see you again whether far or soon. But I need you to know that I care and I miss you.

"SOMEWHERE OUT THERE" BY: OUR LADY PEACE Last time I talked to you ~ You were lonely and out of place~ You were looking down on me~ Lost out in space~ We laid underneath the stars~ Strung out and feeling brave~ I watched the red orange glow~ I watched you float away~ Down here in the atmosphere~ Garbage and city lights~ You've gone to save your tired soul~ You've gone to save our lives~ I turned on the radio~ To find you on satellite~ I'm waiting for the sky to fall~ I'm waiting for a sign~ And all we are~ Is all so far~ You're falling back to me~ The star that I can see yeah~ I know your out there, somewhere out there~ You're falling out of reach~ Defying gravity yeah~ I know you're out there, somewhere out there~ Hope you remember me~ When you're home sick and need a change~ I miss your purple hair~ I miss the way you taste~ I know you'll come back some day~ On a bed of nails I wait ~ I'm praying that you don't burn out or fade away~ And all we are~ Is all so far~ You're falling back to me~ The star that I can see yeah~ I know your out there, somewhere out there~ You're falling out of reach~ Defying gravity yeah~ I know you're out there, somewhere out there~ You're falling back to me~ The star that I can see~ I know your out there, ohhh~ Your falling out of reach~ Defying gravity~ I know you're out there, somewhere out there~ Your falling back to me~ The star that I can see yeah~ I know your out there, somewhere out there~ Your falling out of reach~ Defying gravity yeah~ I know you're out there, somewhere out there~ You're falling back to me~ I know, I know~ You're falling out of reach ohhhhhh~ I know...

"COMPLICATED" BY CAROLYN DAWN JOHNSON I'm so scared that the way that I feel, Is written all over my face, When you walk into the room I wanna find a hiding place, We used to laugh, we used to hug, The way that old friends do, But now a smile and a touch of your hand, Just make me come unglued, It's such a contradiction, do I lie or tell the truth, Is it fact or fiction the way I feel for you.~ CHORUS: It's so complicated, I'm so frustrated, I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away, I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay, Should I say it, should I tell you how I feel, Oh, I want you to know, But then again I don't, It's so complicated.~ Just when I think I'm under control, I think I finally got a grip, Another friend tells me that, My name is always on your lips, They say I'm more than just a friend, They say I must be blind, Well I admit that I've seen you watch me, From the corner of your eye, Oh it's so confusing I wish you'd just confess, But think of what I'd be losing, If your answer wasn't yes.~ REPEAT CHORUS~ I hate it 'cause I've waited so long for someone like you, Should I say it, Should I tell you how I feel, Oh I want you to know, But then again I don't, It's so complicated.

"PICTURE" BY: KID ROCK & SHERYL CROW Livin' my life in a slow hell~ Different girl every night~ At the hotel~ I ain't seen the sunshine in ~ Three damn days~ Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whiskey~ Wish I had a good girl to miss me~ Lord I wonder if I'll ever ~ Change my ways~ I put your picture away~ Sat down and cried today~ I can't look at you~ While I'm lying next to her~ I put your picture away~ Sat down and cried today~ I can't look at you~ While I'm lying next to her~ I called you last night in the hotel~ Everyone knows~ But they won't tell~ But their half-hearted smiles~ Tell me somethin' just ain't right~ I've been waitin' on you for a long time~ Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine~ I ain't heard from you in three damn nights~ I put your picture away~ I wonder where you've been~ I can't look at you~ While I'm lyin' next to him~ I put your picture away~ I wonder where you've been~ I can't look at you~ While I'm lyin' next to him~ I saw you yesterday with an old friend~ It was the same ol' same~ How have you been~ Since you've been gone my worlds been ~ Dark and gray~ You reminded me of brighter days~ I hoped you were coming home to stay~ I was headed to church~ I was off to drink you away~ I thought about you for a long time~ Can't seem to get you off my mind~ I can't understand why we're living life this way~ I found your picture today~ I swear I'll change my ways~ I just called to say I want you~ To come back home~ I found your picture today~ I swear I'll change my ways~ I just called to say I want you ~ To come back home~ I just called to say I love you~ Come back home~

"WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL" BY: ALISON KRAUSS It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart~ Without saying a word you can light up the dark~ Try as I may I could never explain~ What I hear when you don't say a thing~ The smile on your face lets me know that you need me~ There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me~ The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall~ You say it best when you say nothing at all~ All day long I can hear people talking out loud~ But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd~ Old Mr. Webster could never define~ What's being said between your heart and mine~ The smile on your face lets me know that you need me~ There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me~ The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall~ You say it best when you say nothing at all~ The smile on your face lets me know that you need me~ There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me~ The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall~ You say it best when you say nothing at all~

"LOSE YOURSELF" BY: EMINEM Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity~ To seize everything you ever wanted…One moment Would you capture it or just let it slip? ~ His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy ~ There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti~ He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready ~ To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting ~ What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud ~ He opens his mouth, but the words won’t come out ~ He’s chokin, how everybody’s jokin now ~ The clock’s run out, time’s up over, bloah! ~ Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity ~ Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked ~ He’s so mad, but he won’t give up that easy~ Is he? No ~ He won’t have it , he knows his whole back city’s ropes ~ It don’t matter, he’s dope ~ He knows that, but he’s broke ~ He’s so stacked that he knows ~ When he goes back to his mobile home, that’s when it’s Back to the lab again yo ~ This whole rap shit ~ He better go capture this moment and hope it don’t pass him ~ Chorus X2~ You better lose yourself in the music, the moment ~ You own it, you better never let it go ~ You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow ~ This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo ~ The soul’s escaping, through this hole that it’s gaping ~ This world is mine for the taking ~ Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order ~ A normal life is borin, but superstardom’s close to post mortar ~ It only grows harder, only grows hotter ~ He blows its all over, these hoes is all on him ~ Coast to coast shows, he’s know as the globetrotter ~ Lonely roads, God only knows ~ He’s grown farther from home, he’s no father ~ He goes home and barely knows his own daughter ~ But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water~ These ho's don’t want him no mo, he’s cold product~ They moved on to the next schmoe who flows ~ He nose dove and sold nada ~ So the soap opera is told and unfolds ~ I suppose it’s old potna, but the beat goes on ~ Da da dum da dum da da ~ Chorus X2~ No more games, I’ma change what you call rage ~ Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged ~ I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed ~ I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage ~ But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher ~ Best believe somebody’s payin the pied piper ~ All the pain inside amplified by the fact ~ That I can’t get by with my 9 to 5 ~ And I can’t provide the right type of life for my family ~ Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don’t buy diapers ~ And it’s no movie, there’s no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life ~ And these times are so hard and it’s getting even harder ~ Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus~ Teeter totter, caught up between bein a father and a prima donna ~ Baby mama drama’s screamin on and ~ Too much for me to wanna ~ Stay in one spot, another day of monotomy~ Has gotten me to the point, I’m like a snail ~ I’ve got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot ~ Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure’s not ~ Mom, I love you, but this trailer has got to go ~ I cannot grow old in Salem’s lot ~ So here I go is my shot. ~ Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got ~ Chorus X2~ You can do anything you set your mind to, man~

"THE BEST OF WHAT'S AROUND" BY: DAVE MATTHEWS BAND hey my freind~ it seems your eyes are troubled~ care to share your time with me~ would you say you're feeling low and so~ a good idea would be to get it off your mind~ see, you and me~ have a better time than most can dream~ have it better than the best~ so can pull on through~ whatever tears at us~ whatever holds us down~ and if nothing can be done~ we'll make the best of what's around~ turns out not where but who you're with~ that really matters~ and hurts not much when you're around~ and if you hold on tight~ to what you think is your thing~ you may find you're missing all the rest~ well she run up into the light suprised~ her arms are open~ her mind's eye is~ seeing things from a~ better side than most can dream~ on a clearer road i feel~ oh you could say she's safe~ whatever tears at her~ whatever holds her down~ and if nothing can be done~ she'll make the best of what's around

"INNOCENT" BY: OUR LADY PEACE Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous~ Spends his time alone in the basement~ With a Lennon and Cobain and~ A guitar and a stereo~ And while he wishes he could escape this~ But it all seems so contagious~ Not to be yourself and faceless~ In a song that has no soul~ I remember feeling low~ I remember losing hope~And I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped~ We are, we are all innocent~ We are all innocent~ We are, we are...~ We are, we are all innocent~ We are all innocent~ We are, we are...~ Oh, and Tina losing faith in what she knows~ Hates her music, hates all of her clothes~ Thinks of surgery and a new nose~ Every calorie's a war~ And while she wishes she was a dancer~ And that she’d never heard of cancer~ She wishes God would give her some answers~ And make her feel beautiful~ I remember feeling low~ I remember losing hope~ I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped~ We are, we are all innocent~ We are all innocent~ We are, we are...~ We are, we are all innocent~ We are all innocent~ We are, we are...~ One day, you’ll have to let it go~ You’ll have to let it go~ No...~ One day, you’ll stand up on your own~ You’ll stand up on your own~ Remember losing hope~ Remember feeling low~ Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped~ We are, we are all innocent~ We are all innocent~ We are, we are...~ We are, we are all innocent~ We are all innocent~ We are, we are...~ We are (one day), we are all innocent~ We are all innocent (you’ll have to let it go)~ We are, we are (you’ll have to let it go, no..)~ We are (one day), we are all innocent~ We are, we are (you’ll stand up on your own~ We are, we are all innocent (you’ll stand up on your own..~ We are, we are all innocent~

"BUTTERFLY KISSES" BY: BOB CARLISLE There's two things I know for sure~ She was sent here from heaven, and she's Daddy's~ little girl. As I drop to my knees by her bed at night~ She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes~ And I thank God for all of the joy in my life, oh but most of all...~ For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer~ Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair~ Walk beside the pony Daddy, it's my first ride~ I know the cake looks funny Daddy, but I sure tried~ Oh with all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right~ To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.~ Sweet sixteen today~ She's looking like her Mama, a little more everyday.~ One part woman, the other part girl~ To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.~ Trying her wings out in a great big world~ But I remember...~ Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer~ Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.~ You know how much I love you Daddy, but if you don't mind~ I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time.~ With all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right~ To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.~ All the precious time,~ Oh, like the wind the years go by.~ Precious butterfly,~ Spread your wings and fly.~ She'll change her name today.~ She'll make a promise, and I'll give her away.~ Standing in the brideroom just staring at her~ She asks me what I'm thinking, and I said I'm not sure.~ I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl,~ And she leaned over...~ Gave me butterfly kisses with her Mama there~ Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.~ Walk me down the aisle Daddy, it's just about time.~ Does my wedding gown look pretty Daddy?~ Daddy, don't cry.~ Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right.~ To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses,~ I couldn't ask God for more, than this is what love is.~ I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember...~ Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses. ~

"SATELLITE" BY: DAVE MATTHEWS BAND ~Satellite in my eyes~ Like a diamond in the sky~ How I wonder~ Satellite strung from the moon~ And the world your balloon~ Peeping Tom for the mother station~ Winter's cold spring erases~ And the calm away by the storm is chasen~ Everything good needs replacing~ Look up, look down all around, hey satellite~ Satellite headlines read~ Someone's secrets you've seen~ Eyes and ears have been~ Satellite dish in my yard~ Tell me more, tell me more~ Who's the king of your satellite castle?~ Winter's cold spring erases~ And the calm away by the storm is chasen~ Everything good needs replacing~ Look up, look down all around, hey satellite~ Rest high above the clouds; no restriction~ Television we bounce 'round the world~ And while I spend these hours~ Five senses reeling~ I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes~ Satellite in my eyes~ Like a diamond in the sky~ How I wonder~ Satellite strung from the moon~ And the world your balloon~ Peeping Tom for the mother station~ Winter's cold spring erases~ And the calm away the storm is chasen~ Everything good needs replacing~ Look up, look down all around, hey satellite~ Rest high above the clouds; no restriction~ Television we bounce 'round the world~ And while I spend these hours~ Five Senses Reeling~ I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes~
