Desperately — Michelle Branch
You looked my way and said “you frustrate me”
Like you’re thinking of lines and times
When you and I were you and me
We took our chance out on the street
Then I missed my chance
And chances are it won’t be coming back to me
Why can’t I ignore it?
I keep giving in, but I should know better
‘Cause there was something ’bout the way you looked at me
And it strange that things change
But not me wanting you
So desperately
Love You Much Better — The Hush Sound
Why do you sing to everybody but me? Why do I let it go on?
You’ve got such a music box song in my head all day long.
You fell for a girl with wild eyes, dressed in satin and lace.
She’s just an empty diamond mine with moan across her face.
I can love you much better
If you can’t see it you’re blind
I can love you much better
And you know someday I’m going to make you mine.
I See You — Mika
I’m sitting across from you
And dreaming of the things I do
I don’t speak, you don’t know me at all
For fear of what you might do
I say nothing but stare at you
And I’m dreaming
I’m trippin’ over you
Truth be told
My problems solved
You mean the world to be but you’ll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we’re risking the way that I see you
That I see you
Second Hand News — Fleetwood Mac
I know there’s nothing to say
Someone has taken my place
When times go bad
When times go rough
Won’t you lay me down in tall grass
And let me do my stuff
I know I got nothin’ on you
I know there’s nothing to do
When times go bad
And you can’t get enough
Won’t you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff
Come On Home — Franz Ferdinand
You’re where you want to be,
I’m where I want to be
Come on
We’re chasing everything we’ve ever wanted
I replace you easily, replace pathetically
I flirt with any flighty thing that falls my way
But how I needed you
When I needed you.
I Gotta Run — Everybody Else
‘Cause he don’t love you like I do
No way
And I can’t chase you anymore
Today
What can I say? I got a problem
All I wanna do is just run to you
9 Crimes — Damien Rice
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I 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
No Light, No Light — Florence + The Machine
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can’t choose what stays and what fades away
And I’d do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
No light
Tell me what you want me to say
Us — Regina Spektor
They’ll name a city after us
And later say it’s all our fault
Then they’ll give us a talking to
Then they’ll give us a talking to
Because they’ve got years of experience
We’re living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We’re living in a den of thieves
And it’s contagious
Why I Am The One — fun.
She got enough on her mind
That she feel no sorrow
I let my fate fill the air
So now she rollin down her window
Never been one to hold on
But I need a last breath
So I ask if she remembers when
She used to come and visit me
We were fools to think that nothing could go wrong
Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff
For once, for once, for once, I get the feeling that I’m right where I belong
The Go Getter — The Black Keys
Palm trees
The flat broke disease
And LA has got me
On my knees
I am
The bluest of blues
Every day
A different way to lose
Love Runs Out — Onerepublic
There’s a maniac out in front of me.
Got an angel on my shoulder, and Mestopheles.
But mama raised me good, mama raised me right.
Mama said, “Do what you want, say prayers at night,”
And I’m saying them, ’cause I’m so devout.
‘Til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out, yeah.
I got my mind made up, man, I can’t let go.
I’m killing every second ’til it saves my soul.
(Ooh) I’ll be running, (Ooh) I’ll be running,
‘Til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out.
And we’ll start a fire, and we’ll shut it down,
‘Til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out.
California Stars — Wilco and Billy Bragg
I’d love to feel
Your hand touching mine
And tell me why
I must keep working on
Yes I’d give my life
To lay my head tonight on a bed
Of California stars
I’d like to dream
My troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Our Time Now — Hanson
We will find our way
And we won’t slow down
We’ll pick up the pace
This is our time now
