Burden

"You love someone, you open yourself up to suffering, that's the sad truth. Maybe they'll break your heart, maybe you'll break their heart and never be able to look at yourself in the same way. Those are the risks. That's the burden.

Like wings, they have weight, we feel that weight on our backs, but they are a burden that lifts us. Burdens which allow us to fly..."

- from Bones, "The End in the Beginning", Season Four

Hopeless Wanderer

So when your hope's on fire

But you know your desire

Don't hold a glass over the flame

Don't let your heart grow cold

I will call you by name

I will share your road

Hold me fast, hold me fast

Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer. 

Mumford and Sons, "Hopeless Wanderer"

Edge of Desire

Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see.
I want you so bad, I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me.

- John Mayer, "Edge of Desire"

Come Over

I told you I wouldn’t call, I told you I wouldn’t care
But baby climbing the walls gets me nowhere.
I don't think that I can take this bed getting any colder
Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over

We don't have to miss each other, come over
We don't have to fix each other, come over
We don't have to say forever, come over
You don't have to stay forever, come over.

- Kenny Chesney, "Come Over"

Don't You Remember?

When will I see you again?
You left with no goodbye,
Not a single word was said,
No final kiss to seal any scene,
I had no idea of the state we were in.

I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness,
And a wandering eye, and heaviness in my head,

But don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby, please remember me once more.

When was the last time you thought of me?
Or have you completely erased me from your memory?
I often think about where I went wrong,
The more I do, the less I know.

- Adele, Don't You Remember

Cause that truth hurts, and those lies heal 
And you can’t sleep thinking that he lies still 
So you cry still, tears all in the pillow case 
Big girls all get a little taste 
Pushing me away so I give her space 
Dealing with a heart that I didn’t break I’ll be there for you, 
I will care for you 
I keep thinking you just don’t know 
Trying to run from that, say you’re done with that 
On your face girl, it just don’t show 
When you’re ready, just say you’re ready 
When all the baggage just ain’t as heavy 
And the party's over, just don’t forget me 
We’ll change the pace and we'll just go slow 
You won’t ever have to worry, 
You won’t ever have to hide 
You've seen all my mistakes 
So look me in my eyes.


- "Take Care", Drake

I knew there'd come a day,
When all was said and done.
And everything I want is everything but gone
All my big mistakes are bouncing off your wall.
The bottles never break, the sun will never come
So come on let me in.
I will be the sun.
I will wake you up.
I'll move slow.
Just open up your heart, open up your heart, open up your heart.


- "Out on the Town", Fun. 

One and Only

You've been on my mind
I grow fonder every day,
Lose myself in time
Just thinking of your face
God only knows
Why it's taking me so long
To let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want

I don't know why I'm scared,
I've been here before
Every feeling, every word,
I've imagined it all,
You never know if you never try
To forgive your past and simply be mine

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
Promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts

If I've been on your mind
You hang on every word I say, lose yourself in time
At the mention of my name,
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close?
And have you tell me whichever road I choose you'll go

- Adele, "One and Only"

Just Say Yes

"I'm running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me
I won't be ok and I won't pretend I am
So just tell me today and take my hand
Please take my hand

Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love.

It's so simple and you know it is
You know it is, yeah
We can't be to and fro like this
All our lives
You're the only way to me
The path is clear
What do I have to say to you
For God's sake, dear."

Make You Feel My Love

"The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love."

- Adele, "Make You Feel My Love"

Good Things

"Sunlight fall down on the fields
Sunlight fall down over me
Work all day, be all that I can be
Say, I can say words only simple
Say, I can say words only clear
But, oh, I can feel your heart is beating near.
Haunted love is all that I feel, when you're passing by
Haunted love is all that I see, it's there in your eyes
And I say no, no, no, don't pass me over
No, no, no, don't pass me by
See, I can see good things for you and I
Yeah, good things for you."

- The Bodeans, "Good Things"

All I Have

"It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cause you are all that I have
There is a darkness deep in you
A frightening magic I cling to
Give me a chance to hold on."

- Snow Patrol, "You're All I Have"

Know Life

‎"The way to know life is to love many things."

Vincent Van Gogh

Guest Star

“Things change so quickly. I have no idea who’s going to be a recurring character and who’s just a guest star for one episode. Love is fascinating. Wishing for it, pining for it, and the anger that comes when you lose it. I used to think that I could figure out some pattern to love, like if you don’t text a guy back for a half hour, he’ll like you more. But there is no pattern. Absolutely nothing is predictable in love or in life.”

- Taylor Swift to Parade Magazine

Blow Away

No home, I don't want shelter
No calm, nothing to keep me from the storm
And you can't hold me down
'Cause I belong to the hurricane
It's gonna blow this all away.

- "Hurricane Drunk", Florence and the Machine

Confidence

"There will always be people who don't like my stand-up, just like there will always be men who don't want to date me. People have different tastes. But everyone is drawn to confidence, if it's real. So in the same fashion I deliver my jokes, I introduce myself to a guy. I am unapologetic and confident. If it doesn't work out? Next! Why judge yourself?

I'm not a traffic stopping model or the smartest person in the room. The more your get to know me, the prettier I become... My real beauty lies in my humor, strength, the kind of sister, daughter, and friend I am. But more than anything, it lies in my ability to truly not give a shit what anyone thinks of me. Because I know what I think."

- Comedian Amy Schumer, Cosmopolitan Magazine, March 2011

No More Tears

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

- Mumford and Sons, "After the Storm"

Investing

"Where you invest your love, you invest your life."

- Mumford and Sons, "Awake My Soul"

Jar of Hearts

Don’t you know I’m not your ghost anymore.
You lost the love I love the most.
I learn to live half alive and now you want me one more time.

Who do you think you are?
Running around leaving scars.
Collecting your jar of hearts.
Tearing love apart.
You’re gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul.

So don’t come back for me.

- Christina Perri, "Jar of Hearts"

Wonderstruck

"This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew.
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you."

- Taylor Swift, "Enchanted"
