Please Don't Go

Just run away
From these lies
Back to yesterday
Safe tonight
I feel the sun creeping up like tick tock
I'm trying to keep you in my head but if not
We'll just keep running from tomorrow with our lips locked
Yeah you got me begging begging baby please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow will you still be here
I don't know
If you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm gonna find you
Baby please don't go go go go

- Mike Posner, "Please Don't Go"

Tighten Up

Living just to keep going
Going just to keep sane.
All the while I know
It's such a shame.

I don't need to get steady
I know just how I feel
Telling you to be ready
My dear.


Black Keys, "Tighten Up"

Closer

"Remember me, she said smiling
Write my name somewhere safe
Touch and taste
Fades with space
I'll never be who you'll dream

Everyday I try a little harder, dear
But those things you do, I don't wanna hear
You'll have yours, I'll have mine
No one guilty, no one right"

- Jimmy Eat World, "Closer"

Which are you?

"Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy."

A Friend

"I don’t need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better."

All At Once

There's a world we've never seen
There's still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all
Could blow away with a breeze
If you're waiting on the wind
Don't forget to breathe
Cause as the darkness gets deeper
We'll be sinkin' as we reach for love
At least somethin' we could hold
But I'll reach to you from where time just can't go

What about is gone
And it really wont be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all

- Jack Johnson, "All at Once"

Learn to Live

You gotta crash and burn.
You gotta make some stances,
and take some chances.
You gotta live and love
and take all life has to give.
You gotta live and learn
so you can learn to live."

- Darius Rucker, "Learn to Live"

Constellations

"It was just another night
With the sun set
And the moon rise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to all the translations
Of the stories across the sky,
We drew our own constellations..."

- Jack Johnson, "Constellations"

Gravity

Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me.

- Sara Bareilles, "Gravity"

Ready to Love Again

Seems like I was walking in the wrong direction
I barely recognize my own reflection, no
Scared of love but scared of life alone

Seems I've been playing on the safe side baby
Building walls around my heart to save me, oh
But it's time for me to let it go

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I afraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready to love again

Just when we think that love will never find you
You runaway but still it's right behind you, oh
It's just something that you can't control

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I afraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready to love again

So come and find me
I'll be waiting up for you
I'll be holding out for you tonight

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I afraid of the fall down

It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready, I'm ready to love again

- Lady Antebellum, "Ready to Love Again"

Never Be Ready

We've got our feet on the wire, talking 'bout flying
Maybe we're diving in over our heads
Scared of what I'm feeling
Staring at the ceiling here tonight

Come on lay down these arms, all our best defenses
We're taking our chances here on the run
The fear is an anchor, time is a stranger
Love isn't borrowed, we aren't promised tomorrow

We'll never be ready if we keep waiting
For the perfect time to come
Won't be steady, we'll never be ready

Where we don't know, though we can't see
Just walk on down this road with me
Won't be steady, never be ready

You're okay, you're with me here in the silence
With all of the violence crashing around
Saying we can't go, saying we don't know
This road that is narrow is the one we should follow

We'll never be ready if we keep waiting
For the perfect time to come
Won't be steady, we'll never be ready

Where we don't know, though we can't see
Just walk on down this road with me
Won't be steady, we'll never be ready

- Mat Kearney, "Never Be Ready"
