Bic Runga - Sway

Don't stray
Don't ever go away
I should be much to smart for this
You know it gets the better
Of me sometimes
When you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
Pull me out in time
Don't let me drown
Let me down
I say its all because of you and here I go
Losing my control
I'm practising your name
So I can say it to your face it doesn't seem right
To look you in the eye
And let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth indeed its time
Tell you why
I say its infinitely true

Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you

And there's no cure
And no way to be sure
Why everythings turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired
I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now
It all turns sour
Come sweeten
Every afternoon

Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you

Billy Joel - For the Longest Time

Whoa for the longest time
Whoa for the longest...

If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do?
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time.

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me,
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time.

Whoa for the longest time
Whoa for the longest...

I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you,
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've come this far
And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself,
"Hold onto your heart"
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend ot hold you for the longest time

Danny Boy - Old Irish Tune

Oh Danny Boy
The pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen
And down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you, it's you
Must go and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
For I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so.

But when ye come and all the flowers are dying,
If I am dead as dead I well may be,
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

And I shall hear, though soft your tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

Dave Matthews Band - I'll Back You Up

I remember thinking
I'll go on forever only knowing
I'll see you again
But I know
The touch of you is so hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
And for sure we have danced
In the risk of each other
Would you like to dance
Around the world with me

I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung
Around my head

And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up

I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other

I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung
Around my head

Dave Matthews Band - Lover Lay Down

Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
Slip into my lover's hands
Kiss me oh won't you kiss me now
And sleep I would inside your mouth

Don't be us too shy
Knowing it's no big surprise
That I will wait for you
I will wait for no one but you

Look please lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover lay down

Walk with me, walk with you
Hold my hand your hands
So much we have dreamed
And you were so much younger
Hard to explain that we are stronger

A million reasons life to deny
Let's toss them away
See you and me we
Lay down look see
She and he
By my lover's side
Together share this smile
Each other's tears to cry
Together share this smile
Lover lay down

Foo Fighters - Learn to Fly

Heather Nova - London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do)

I'm coming, I'm coming home to you
I'm alive, I'm a mess
I can't wait to get home to you
to get warm and undressed

There've been changes beyond my dreams
Everybody wants me to sing
There've been changes beyond my grasp
Things I'm sinking in

So keep me, keep me in your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing heals me like you do

And when somebody knows you well
Well, there's no comfort like that
And when somebody needs you
Well, there's no drug like that

So keep me, keep me in your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing heals me like you do

And when I'm home, curled in your arms
And I'm safe again
I'll close my eyes and sleep, sleep
to the sound of London Rain

So keep me, keep me in your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
So keep me, keep me in your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing heals me like you do

Jann Arden - Insensitive

How do you cool your lips
After a summer's kiss?
How do you rid the sweat
After the body bliss?
How do you turn your eyes
From the romantic glare?
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere?

Oh I really should have known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes
Your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face
That told me,
Maybe you might have
Some advice to give on how to be insensitive.

How do you numb your skin
After the warmest touch?
How do you slow your blood
After the body rush?
How do you free your soul
After you've found a friend?
How do you teach your heart it's a crime
To fall in love again?

Oh you probably won't remember me,
It's probably ancient history,
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you.
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch,
I fell too fast, I feel too much.
I thought that you might have
Some advice to give on how to be insensitive.

Jewel- Comfortably Numb

Snow is on the mountain
winter settles in my heart
Icy fingers are familiar
smooth and cold and oh so hard
Comfortably numb

Frost bites deep
tiny birds fly from my heart
White winds scream
as they leave frozen lands of my heart
Comfortably numb

I watch my hands
to see what it is they do
They're dirty, they don't build churches
They don't take risks and they don't remember you
Comfortably numb

Orion was a mighty warrior
Cleopatra was a cheap French maid
He said sweetheart I give you the moon
She says I much prefer jewelry
So in the stars he stayed
Comfortably numb

Jim Croce - Time in a Bottle

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day till eternity passes away,
Just to spend them with you.

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true,
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them.
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with.

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true,
The box would be empty
Except for the memory of how they were answered by you.

Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville - Don't Know Much

Look at this face,
I know the years are showing.
Look at this life,
I still don't know where it's going.
I don't know much, but I know I love you,
And that may be all I need to know.

Look at these eyes,
They've never seen what mattered.
Look at these dreams
So beaten and so battered.
I don't know much, but I know I love you,
And that may be all I need to know.

So many questions still left answered,
So much I've never broken through.
And when I feel you near me,
Sometimes I see so clearly.
The only truth I've ever known
Is me and you.

Look at this man,
So blessed with inspiration.
Look at this soul,
Still searching for salvation.
I don't know much, but I know I love you,
And that may be all I need to know.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

If I leave here tomorrow,
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on now
Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you can not change.
And the bird you can not change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows I can't change.

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters

So close no matter how far,
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters.

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way,
Oh these words I don't just say,
And nothing else matters.

Trust I seek, and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do,
Never cared for what they know,
But I know

So close no matter how far,
Couldn't be much more from the heart,
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do,
Never cared for what they know,
But I know

I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
Oh these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek, and I find in you
Every day for us somthing new,
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play,
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

Pearl Jam - Better Man

Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man (2x)
Ohh...

Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along...
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man (2x)
Yeah...

She loved him, yeah...she don't want to leave this way
She feeds him, yeah...that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man (3x)
Can't find a better...man...

Pearl Jam - I Got Id

My lips are shakin'
My nails are bit off
It's been a month since I've heard myself talk
Only advantage this life's got on me
Picture a cup in the middle of the sea

And I fought back in my mind
Never lets me be right...
I got memories, I got shit
So much it don't show...

Oh, I walked the line...
When you held me in at night
Oh, I walked the line...
When you held my hand and I...

On empty shells seem so easy to crack
Got all these questions
Don't know who I could even ask
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me

And I'll stay in bed...
Oh, little I've seen there
If just once I could be loved...
Oh, I'd stare back at me

Oh, I walked the line...
When you held me in at night
Oh, I walked the line...
When you held my hand and I
Oh, I walked the line...
When you held me close at night
Oh, I paid the price...
Never held you in real life.

Sarah McLachlan - Possession

Listen as the wind blows
From across the great divide
Voices trapped and yearning
Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion,
And solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?

And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss your soul
I'll take your breath away
And after I wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear.

Through this world I stumble
So many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word
To find the truth enslaved
You speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath,
Your words keep me alive

And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss your soul
I'll take your breath away
And after I wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear.

Into this night I wander
It's morning that I dread
Another day unknowing of the path I fear to tread
Into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
Cause nothing stands between us here
And I won't be denied

Shades Apart - Stranger By The Day

Snow is falling from the sky in the middle of July
Sun was shining in my eyes again last night
Alarm goes off without a sound
The silence is so loud
Something isn't right.

Footsteps echo down the hall
But no one's there at all
Dial your number but you're voice says,
"I'm not home"
Everything is inside-out
Don't know what it's about

It keeps getting stranger by the day
Stranger by the day
It keeps getting
Stranger by the day
Stranger by the day

Going for a walk outside
To see what I can find
No reflections in the windows I pass by
It feels hotter in the shade
What a run-down from the drain
Something's going on.

Conversations with the mime
Standing by the blind
Imagination must be working overtime
The world is upside-down
Everything is turned around

It keeps getting stranger by the day
Stranger by the day
It keeps getting stranger by the day
Stranger by the day

By the time I reach your door,
I can't take anymore
I just happen to be in your neighborhood.
I'm the one who gets surprised
I don't believe my eyes
Your alibi's no good.

What ever happened to the world?
What ever happened to that girl
I thought I knew?
It just can't be true,
I guess I'm losing you.

Tonic - Lemon Parade

I wish I'd seen you as a little girl
Without your armor to fend off the world
I would have kept you underneath my wing
I would protect you from everything

Make way for the lemon parade
Make way for my girl
Make way for the lemon parade
Make way for my girl

Did the boys tease you when they had the chance
Always left standing when it came time to dance
Did you hide behind your books girl
Did you find your secret friends
Always I'll want you
Always 'till the end

Tonic - You Wanted More

Love is tragic, love is bold
You will always do what you are told.
Love is hard, love is strong
You will never say that you were wrong.

I don't know when I got bitter
But love is surely better when it's gone

'Cause you wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
And a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there

Love is color, love is loud
Love is never saying you're too proud.
Love is trusting, love is honest
Love is not a hand that holds you down.

I don't know when I got bitter
But love is surely better when it's gone

'Cause you wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
And a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there

I gotta pick me up when I'm down town.
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
I gotta pick me up when I'm down town.

I don't know when I got bitter
But love is surely better when it's gone

Tracy Bonham - Mother Mother

Mother mother,
How's the family?
I'm just calling to say hello.
How's the weather?
How's my father?
Am I lonely? Heavens no.
Mother mother
Are you listening?
Just a phone call to ease your mind.
Life is perfect, never better
Distance making the heart grow fond.

When you sent me off to see the world
Were you scared that I might get hurt?
Would I try a little tobacco?
Would I keep on hiking up my skirt?
I'm hungry, I'm dirty, I'm losing my mind
Everything's fine.
I'm freezing, I'm starving, I'm bleeding to death
Everything's fine.

Yeah I'm working, making money,
I'm just starting to build a name.
I can feel it around the corner,
I could make it any day.
Mother mother,
Can you hear me?
Sure I'm sober, sure I'm sane.
Life is perfect, never better
Still your daughter, still the same

If I tell you what you want to hear
Will it help you to sleep well at night?
Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear?
Now just cuddle up and sleep tight.
I'm hungry, I'm dirty, I'm losing my mind
Everything's fine.
I'm freezing, I'm starving, I'm bleeding to death
Everything's fine.

Vertical Horizon - Everything You Want

Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why

But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
