It's Only Life -- The Shins

Died in the world, you've been cornered by a natural desire

You want to hop along with the giddy throng through life

But how will you learn to steer when you're grinding all your gears?


You've been talking for hours

You say time will wash every tower to the sea

And now you've got this worry in your heart


Well I guess it's only life, it's only natural

We all spend a little while going down the rabbit hole

The things they taught you, they're lining up to haunt you

You got your back against the wall

I call you on the telephone, won't you pick up the receiver?


I've been down the very road you're walking now

It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome

It takes a while but we can figure this thing out

And turn it back around


You used to be such a lion

Before you got into all this crying on my lap

Back when you thought I'd never get this far


But did you really think I'd shut an open door?

The future's calling and Imma answer her

The wheels in motion, I never drank your potion

And I know it breaks your heart

Open up your parachute, something's gotta stop the freefall


I've been down the very road you're walking now

It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome

It takes a while but we can figure this thing out

And turn it back around

Numb -- The Airborne Toxic Event

I've been in a daze
It seems like days that I've been waiting
For this dream to pass
It goes so fast
It seems nothing lasts
I think I've lost something

Stuck here with these people
Wide awake, the crush of bodies in one space
I feel your hot breath on my tongue
I wonder where you've gone

And the ever turning spinning wheel of people, places
Lies I feel
The restless beat of the sleepless night to come
I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb

Hopeless these three years like smoking gears
I go from place to place
Just endlessly and half asleep
Like I'm falling alone at some endless breach

I don't know where I am
I don't know what I've done
I just go over it and over it again and again and again
I can't sleep at night
I cant breathe
But If I drink tonight I'll get you off my mind

And the ever present pit I feel
I'm turning on some spinning wheel
Of faces and the scenes I see
And none of it seems real to me
Just the bleary haze of the morning still to come

I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb

Payphone -- Maroon 5

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be
It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me
You say it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of shit
One more fucking love song I'll be sick

Oh, You turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow
But just gave it away
You can't expect me to be fine
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before
But all of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of shit
One more fucking love song I'll be sick

Now I'm at a payphone...

Oooooh ooh ooh, yeah, yeah

Now baby, don't hang up
So I can tell you what you need to know
Baby I'm begging you
Just please don't go
So I can tell you what you need to know

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of shit
One more fucking love song I'll be sick

Yeah, now I'm at a payphone.

Hey Lover -- Keri Noble

Hey lover
I'm so lonely
You ain't touched me for days
Hey lover
I'm so weary
You won't be happy no matter what I say
'Cause I brought you kisses
All of my finest
All the best that I had to give
But you threw them a side
‘Cause you wanted better
And it makes me wonder if I’ve got what you want me to give

Hey mother
I need you to tell me whatever should I do?
To keep my lover
Here beside me, oh
I need you to guide me
Oh, what should I do
'Cause I've begged him
Got on my knees
Made me feel like
Some kind of fool
But I’ll do
Whatever he wants me
Whatever he needs me to do, oooh

Hey father
Don’t go crazy
‘Cause I’m not the baby
You think I am
Put your gun down
‘Cause you don’t need it
You got to believe me
If you think that you can
No, he don’t mean to
Take me for granted,
He just needs to understand
Maybe he can find another lady
But I’ll be damned if I can find myself another man

Hey lover
I'm so tired
‘Cause I’ve been workin’ to please you
Hey lover
What’s your goddamn problem
That keeps you up cryin’ this whole night through?
Is the love that
I try to give you
Well, is it less than you could give yourself?
Do I, do I mean less than your last lover?
Well maybe you should just go back to them.
No, lover
No, lover
I didn’t mean it, no
Hey lover
Oh oh ohhh

Make You Feel My Love -- Bob Dylan

When the rain is blowin' in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong.

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawlin' down the avenue
No, there's nothin' that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.

Though storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regrets
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothin' 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.

Many the Miles -- Sara Bareilles

There's too many things that I haven't done yet
Too many sunsets
I haven't seen
You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
You would've thought by now
I'd have learned something

I made up my mind when I was a young girl
I've been given this one world
I won't worry it away
But now and again I lose sight of the good life
I get stuck in a low light
But then love comes in

How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles
But send me the miles and I'll be happy to follow you, Love

I do what I can, wherever I end up
To keep giving my good love
And spreading it around
Cause I've had my fair share of take care and goodbyes
I've learned how to cry
And I'm better for that

Sing, how far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles
Send me the miles and I'll be happy to
Follow you, Love

Red letter day and I'm in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I've been talking to God, don't know
If it's helping or not
But surely something has got to, got to, got to give
Cause I can't keep waiting to live

How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles
But send me the miles and I'll be happy to, yeah
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles
Many the miles
Been talking to God, don't know if it's helping or not
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles
Many the miles
Oh send me the miles and I'll be happy to
Follow you, Love

There's too many things I haven't done yet
Too many sunsets I haven't seen

Nothing But A Miracle -- Diane Birch

Gettin' tired of livin', livin' for a moment
Gettin' tired of hanging on the line
I wake up every morning and I pull back the curtain
And wonder if it's gonna rain or shine

Gettin' tired of thinking, gettin' so tired of begging
Gettin' tired of forgetting that there's two of us
I'm getting so tired of loving a man that just don't give a damn

Just tell me, tell me baby why I'm holding on
When your lovin's long gone?
I got a good mind so why don't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye

Just tell me baby why I've been holding on for so long?
And nothing but a miracle is gonna bring you back
Bring you back to me now

I gotta get myself together
Gotta stop telling myself that I can do no better
Gotta go out and maybe start meeting some new people
I gotta go out and buy myself one of those little black dresses

'Cause I'm so tired of this T-shirt
I'm so tired of cryin' off all my make up
Gettin just so tired of waking up with a lonely heart
I'm getting so tired of giving a damn about an absent hearted man

Just tell me, tell me baby why I'm holding on
When your lovin's long gone?
I got a good mind so why don't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye

Just tell me baby why I've been holding on for so long?
And nothing but a miracle is gonna bring you back
Bring you back to me now

Oh, I can see it
Coming down the shadows
I can see it, it's coming through
It's coming through the windows

Oh, I can see it
I can see it coming down the ceiling
I can't escape it, can't escape it
No I can't escape it

Tell me, yeah, why I'm holding on
When your love is long gone?
I got a good mind so why don't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye

Just tell me baby why I've been holding on for so long?
And nothing but a miracle is gonna to bring it back
Bring you back to me now

Oh, nothing but a miracle is gonna bring you back to me now
Oh, nothing but a miracle, oh no, no
Oh, nothing but a miracle is gonna bring you back to me now
Oh no
