Awake

by Josh Groban- more nostalgia, more memories, more heartache, more withdrawls, the usual.

a beautiful and blinding morning
the world outside begins to breathe
see the clouds arriving without warning
i need you here to shelter me

and i know that only time will tell us how
to carry on without each other

so keep me awake to memorize you
give me more time to feel this way
we can't stay like this forever
but i can have you next to me today

if i could make these moments endless
if i could stop the winds of change
if we just keep our eyes wide open
then everything would stay the same

and i know that only time will tell me how
we'll carry on without each other

so keep me awake for every moment
give us more time to be this way
we can't stay like this forever
but i can have you next to me today

we'll let tomorrow wait, you're here, right now, with me
all my fears just fall away, when you are all i see

we can't stay like this forever
but i have you here today

and i will remember
oh, i will remember
remember all the love we shared today

Taylor Swift double-whammy!

Back To December- wow, what a way to describe my life!

i'm so glad you made time to see me
how's life? tell me how's your family
i haven't seen them in a while
you've been good, busier than ever
we small talk, work and the weather
your guard is up and i know why

'cause the last time you saw me
is still burned in the back of your mind
you gave me roses and i left them there to die

(chorus)
so this is me swallowing my pride
standing in front of you saying, "i'm sorry for that night",
and i go back to december all the time
it turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
wishing that i realized what i had when you were mine
i'd go back to december, turn around and make it all right
i go back to december all the time

these days i havent been sleeping
staying up playing back myself leavin'
when you birthday passed and didnt call
and i think about summer, all the beautiful times
i watched you laughing from the passenger side
realized that i loved you in the fall

then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
you gave me all your love and all i gave you was "Goodbye"

(chorus)

i miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile, so good to me so right
and how you held me in your arms that september night
the first time you ever saw me cry

maybe this is wishful thinking
probably mindless dreaming
if we loved again i swear i'd love you right....

i'd go back in time and change it but i cant
so if the chain is on your door i understand

(chorus)

i'd go back to december all the time
all the time

The Story of Us- wow another one to describe my life!

i used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
how we met and the sparks flew instantly
people would say theyre the lucky ones
i used to know my place was a spot next to you
now im searching the room for an empty seat
'cause lately i dont even know what page youre on

oh a simple complication
miscommunications lead to fall-out
too many things that i wish you knew
so many walls that i cant break through

(chorus)
now im standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking
and i'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah
i dont know what to say, it's a twist of fate when it all broke down
and the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

next chapter

how'd we end up this way?
see me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy
you're doing your best to avoid me
i started to think one day i'd tell the story of us
how i was losing my mind when i saw you here
but you held your pride like you should've held me

oh i'm scared to see the ending
why are we pretending this is nothing?
i'd tell you i miss you but i dont know how
ive never heard silence quite this loud

(chorus)

this is looking like a contest
of who can act like the careless
but i liked it better when you were on my side
the battle's in your hands now
but i would lay my armor down
if you say you'd rather love than fight
so many things that you wished i knew
but the story of us might be ending soon

(chorus)

and we're not speaking
and i'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah
dont know what to say, it's a twist of fate 'cause we're going down
and the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

the end.

Three Cheers For Five Years

by Mayday Parade- nuff said.

i swear that you dont have to go
i thought we could wait for the fireworks
i thought we could wait for the snow
to wash over Georgia and kill the hurt
i thought every moment i had with you
stay up all night with the stars
confess all the faith that i had in you

too late, i'm sure and lonely
another night, another dream wasted on you
just be here now against me
you know the words so sing along for me baby
for heaven's sake i know you're sorry
but you wont stop crying
this anniversary may never be the same
inside i hope you know i'm dying
with my heart beside me
in shattered pieces that may never be replaced
and if i died right now you'd never be the same

i thought with a month or apart
together would find us an opening
and moonlight would provide the spark
and that i would stumble across the key
or break down the door to your heart
forever could see us not you and me
and you'd help me out of the dark
and i'd give my heart as an offering

too late, i'm sure and lonely
another night, another dream wasted on you
just be here now against me
you know the words so sing along for me, baby
for heaven's sake i know you're sorry
but you wont stop crying
this anniversary may never be the same
inside i hope you know i'm dying
with my heart beside me
in shattered pieces that you may never be replaced
and if i died right now you'd never be the same

and i will always remember you as you are right now with me
and i will always remember now

sleep alone tonight with no one here just by your side
sleep alone tonight

how does he feel, how does he kiss
how does he taste while he's on your lips

i can't forget you
i know you want me ot want you
i want to
but i can't forgive you
so when this is over don't blow your composure baby
i can't forgive you
i know you want me to want you i want to

Sunrays and Saturdays

by Vertical Horizon- another song that that one girl in my ward sang in ward prayer. totally fell in love with it :)

open the window
let the sunset in
if only for the last time
let me see you smile again

i'll take my records
you can have your books
i'm sorry i never read them
but it says so much about us

always trying
to make love out of care
the perfect recipe
but something wasnt there

sunrays and saturdays
perfect starry nights
sweet dreams and moonbeams
and a love that's warm and bright
sunrays and saturdays
friendship strong and true
oceans of blue and a room with a view
to live the life you choose

you'll write me letters
i'll call you on the phone
a wire away from touching
and never quite alone

we'll get to know ourselves again
and we'll heal our hearts
it's not that we're bad together
we're just better off apart

always trying
to have one and one make two
and even though it never worked
i still feel love for you

sunrays and saturdays
perfect starry nights
sweet dreams and moonbeams
and a love that's warm and bright
sunrays and saturdays
friendship strong and true
oceans of blue and a room with a view
to live the life you choose

Cat and Mouse

by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus- such a good song. reminds me of someone.

softly we tremble tonight
picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in sight
i said, i'd never leave, you'll never change
i'm not satisified with where i'm at in life

am i supposed to be happy?
with all i ever wanted, it comes with a price
am i supposed to be happy?
with all i ever wanted, it comes with a price

you said, you said that you would die for me

we made plans to grow old
believe me there was truth in all those stories that i told
lost in a simple game, cat and mouse, to me the same
people as before this came to light?

am i supposed to be happy?
with all i ever wanted, it comes with a price
am i stupposed to be happy?
with all i ever wanted, it comes with a price

you said, you said that you would die for me

you must live for me too
for me too, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
you said that you would die for me

am i supposed to be happy?
with all i ever wanted, it comes with a price

you said, you said you would die for me
you said that you would die for me
you said that you would die for me
you said that you would die for me

Find My Way Back

by Michelle Branch- she has been a favorite of mine for a very long time. this song is a good one. it reminds me of what happened a year ago.

i used to get away with so much
now i cant get away
i even thought that it was simple
to say the things i wanted to say
and you told me everything i wanted to hear
and you sold me
now i dont know how i should feel
i should know me
and baby, you would think i knew better

(chorus)
i'm finding my way back to you
and everything i used to be
and waiting is all that i can do
until you find your way back to me

what if i said what i was thinking?
what if that says too much?
when everybody's got a reason
i feel like giving up
and you told me, everything i wanted to hear
and you sold me
now i dont know how i should feel
i should know me
and baby, you would think i knew better

(chorus)

until you find your way back to me
oh, until you find your way back to me

i used to get away with so much

i'm finding my way back to you
and everything i used to be
and waiting is all that i can do
until you find your way back to me

and waitin' is all that i can do
until you find your way back to me

i used to get away with so much...

Thinking of You

by Katy Perry- a girl in my ward sang this song on her guitar for her talent at ward prayer. i like it a lot, it really applies. also, i dont think that this is a typical katy perry song, and i love that!

comparisons are easily done
once you've had a taste of perfection
like an apple hanging from a tree
i picked the ripest one, i still got the seed

you said move on, where do i go?
i guess second best is all i will know

'cause when i'm with him i am thinking of you
thinking of you, what you would do
if you were the one who was spending the night
oh, i wish that i was looking into your eyes

you're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter
like a hard candy with a surprise center
how do i get bette once i've had the best?
you said there's tons of fish in the water, so the waters i will test

he kissed my lips, i taste your mouth, oh!
he pulled me in, i was disgusted with myself

'cause when i'm with him i am thinking of you
thinking of you, what you would do
if you were the one who was spending the night
oh, i wish that i was looking into

you're the best, and yes, i do regret
how i could let myself let you go
now, now the lesson's learned
i touched it, i was burned
oh, i think you should know!

'cause when i'm with him i was thinking of you
thinking of you, what you would do
if you were the one who was spending the night
oh, i wish that i was looking into your, your eyes
looking into your eyes, looking inot your eyes

oh, won't you walk through?
and bust in the door and take me away?
oh, no more mistakes
'cause in your eyes i'd like to stay, stay
