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

Go

by Boys Like Girls- a recent love of mine, this song made me think a lot about the stuff im dreaming of right now and how there's too much im holding onto and that made i just need to get up and go take a chance and be strong, just like the song says

little change of the heart, little light in the dark
little hope that you just might find your way up out of here
'cause you've been hiding for days, wasted and wasting away
but i got a little hope, today you'll face your fears

yeah, i know it's not easy
i know that it's hard, follow the lights to the city

(chorus)
get up and go, take a chance and be strong
or you could spend your whole life holding on
don't look back, just go, take a breath, move along
or you could spend your whole life holding on
you could spend your whole life holding on

believe the tunnel can end, believe your body can mend
yeah, i know you can make it through 'causei believe in you
so let's go put up a fight, let's go make everything alright
go on and take a shot, go give it all you got

oh, yeah, i know it's not easy
i know that it's hard, it's not always pretty

(chorus)

don't wanna wake up to the telephone ring
are you sitting down? i need to tell you something
enough is enough, you can stop waiting to breathe
and don't wait up for me

get up and go, take a chance and be strong
you could spend your whole life holding on
and don't look back, just go, take a breath, move along
you could spend your whole life holding on

(chorus)

don't spend your whole life holding on, yeah

Dear Angel

by April Sixth- another one of those randomly discoverd bands with a song that i just fall in love with

dear angel of mine,
where do i start to express how i feel?
well, my love's gone blind,
now all that i feel is what i hear.
your words rip and tear
through my heart so weak and pure
now i find myself wanting to die.

i bleed for the second time tonight
holding, well, all that's in my mind.
if only my love could be with you
if only this pain,
this pain die too.
i'll break you away!

as i sit here alone
thinking about everything that you've said.
you know since i'm alone,
well, maybe after all i was better off dead.
cause without you
my life's gone down.
what do i do when i find myself wanting to die?

isn't strange how you became my enemy?
isn't strange how you became my enemy?
from my angel to my enemy... and i don't know.

i'll break you away, away, away from me
i'll break you away, away, away from me.. and i don't know

sincerely, yours

Belle of the Boulevard

by Dashboard Confessional- this song has been stuck in my head for 3 days straight now, and i dont know why

down in a local bar
out no the boulevard
the sound of an old guitar
is saving you from sinking
it's a long way down
it's a long way

back like you never broke
you tell a dirty joke
he touches your leg and thinks he's getting close
for now you let him just this once
just for now
and just like that-- it's over

(chorus)
don't turn away
dry your eyes, dry your eyes
don't be afraid
keep it all inside, all inside
when you fall apart
dry your eyes, dry your eyes
life is always hard for the belle of the boulevard

in all your silver rings
and all your silken things
that song you softly sing--is keeping you from breaking
it's a long way down
it's a long way
back here you never loved
you've shaked the shivers off
you take a drink to get your courage up
can you believe it
just this once
just for now
and just like that
it's over

(chorus)

please hold on--it's alright
please hole on--it's alright
please hold on

down in a local bar
out on the boulevard
the sound of an old guitar
is saving you

So Much Love

by The Rocket Summer- i saw this song live at Warped Tour this summer. i really like it, it speaks for itself, but you really need to hear the song to get the full effect.

hats need a bat, like awake needs asleep
like a pen needs a page, to re-write you need a mistake
oh, yeah

hearts need a mind, like a clock needs the time
like white needs black, if you leave i hope you need to come back

oh, i swear, i know, i believe it
oh, i can't stop hearing all the singing
oh, my soul has never had this feeling
and it feels like gold

you got so much love in you
you got so much love in you
i'm amazed that i'm talkin' to you
you look the songs that ive heard my whole life coming true

strike all the bells, hit 'em hard make 'em all yell
celebrate that you made, lock us up yeah incarcerate oh!

oh, i swear, i know, i believe it
oh, i can't stop hearing all the singing
oh, my soul has never had this feeling
and it feels like so, so

so much love in you
you got so much love in you
i'm amazed that i'm talkin' to you
you look like the songs that i've heard my whole life coming true

you got so much love in you
you got so much love in you
i'm amazed that i'm talkin' to you
you look like the songs oh, oh, oh, oh

you got so much love in you
you got so much love in you
i'm amazed that i'm talkin' to you
you look like the songs that i've heard my whole life coming true

Even Now

by Dashboard Confessional- just another one of those songs that stick out to me. it really reminds me of a boy that i fell in love with and i wont see for 2 years. i wrote a letter that i dont intend to ever send and this song just brought so back so many of my memories with him. also, this song is in a guy's perspective, i like to think of it as my boy saying this about me....

even now i can smell your clothes
freshly from the wash
still hot from the dryer

even now i can smell your skin
as i wrap you in a towel
lay you on the bed
and try to love you

even now i can feel your arms
i can feel your breath
i can hear your songs
and i always can find you again

even now i can feel your hand
gently over mine
with almost no weight at all

even now i can feel your eyes
watch me as i strum
much too late at night

even now i can see you smile
i can hear you hum
i can hear you sing
and i always can find you again

even in the dark of night
even in the lowest light
even as the world outside
is spinning, and spinning

even now i can feel your hair
blow across my cheek
as we sit in one of two chairs

even now i can feel your face
resting on my chest
wrestling for sleep
and failing at it

even now i can see you sleep
i can see you dream
i can see you fly
and i always can find you again
and i always can find you again
and i always can find you again

Everything I'm Not

by The Veronicas- i tend to randomly discover songs that i already have and really love them right off the bat. here is one of those songs:

oh no
don't go changing
that's what you told me from the start
throught you were something different
that's when it all just fell apart
like you're so perfect
and i can't measure up
well i'm not perfect
just all messed up

(chorus)
i was losing myself to somebody else
but now i see
i don't wanna pretend
so this is the end of you and me
cause the girl that you want
she was tearing us apart
cause she's everything
everything i'm not

it's not like i need somebody
telling me where i should go at night
don't worry you'll find somebody
someone to tell how to live their life
cause your so perfect
and no one measures up
yeah all by yourself
you're all messed up

(chorus)

now wait a minute
because of you
i never knew all the things that i had
hey don't you get it
i'm not going anywhere with you tonight
cause this is my life

(chorus)

but now i see
i don't want to pretend
so this is the end of you and me
cause the girl you want
she was tearing us apart
cause she's everything
everything i'm not

Soco Amaretto Lime

by Brand New- this song pretty much described my summer last year. i was listening to it earlier and it brought back a lot of memories of special place i like to call Parquay :)

you and me were kings over the parkway tonight
i'm gonna stay eighteen forever
so we can stay like this forever
and we'll never miss a party
cause we keep them going constantly
and we'll never have to listen
to anyone about anything
cause its all been done and its all been said
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

the heck out of this town
find some conversation
the low fuel lights been on for days
it doesnt mean anything
ive got another 500, 'nother 500 miles
before we shut this engine down
we shut it down

(you're just jealous cause i'm young and in love)
eighteen forever
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
so we can stay like this forever
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
and we'll never miss a party
(and you're tearing up your photos cause you wanna forget... its over)
cause we keep them going constantly
(you're just jealous cause i'm young and in love)
and we'll never have to listen
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
to anyone about anything cause it's all been done
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
and it's all been said
(and you're tearing up your photos cause you wanna forget... its over)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

just jealous cause we're young and in love
you're just jealous cuz we're young and in love
you're just jealous cuz we're young and in love
....

You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Clouds

by Mayday Parade- saw these guys in concert a few days ago: AMAZING! i listened to this song today and decided to do a post on this one

and honestly, i have been begging for answers
that you and only you can give to me
a voice crying loud
i've been crying for days now
and as i start to run, i stop to breathe
and i was nearly scared to death
why you left in paragraphs
the words were nearly over us
you stop and turn and grab your bags

(chorus)
and i'll be here by the ocean
just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams
all my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes
and every waves drags me to sea
i could stand here for hours
just to ask God the question, "is everyone here make-believe?"
with a tear in His voice, He said, "Son, that's the question."
does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me

as hours move to minutes
and minutes take longer to break
i will be desperately awaiting
but my tongue wont fall apart
and we've been sitting here for hours
all alone and in the dark

so let me think of how to word it
is it too soon to say 'perfect'?
if i could find another thirty minutes somewhere
i'm sure everything would find me
all thats left is just to sing

(chorus)

and if you sing to me sweet until then
i may never sail Virginia again
and as this current moves slow for me
this much you must know of me again
and i'll have you know im scared to death

tell me once again
that you'll love me to the death
and should i die, you swear that you will come for me
as i fade away, you reach out your hand
and please don't let me go
and please don't let me go

(chorus)

does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me?

Rooftops

by Lostprophets- just another one of those songs that reminds me of someone, also, i love to sing really loud to this song :)

when your time is up
when our lives are done
will we say, we've had our fun

will we make a mark this time
will we always say we tried

(chorus)
[we're standing on the rooftops
everybody scream your heart out
standing on the rooftops
everybody scream your heart out

standing on the rooftops
everybody scream your heart out
this is all we got now
everybody scream your heart out]

all the love i've met
i have no regrets
it if all ends now, i'm set

will we make a mark this time
will we always say we tried

(chorus)

standing on the rooftops
wait until the bomb drops
this is all we got now
scream until your heart stops

never gonna regret
watching every sunset
we'll listen to your heartbeat
all the love that we found

scream your heart out
scream your heart out
scream your heart out
scream your

(chorus)

everybody scream your

Kids In Love

by Mayday Parade- i absolutely love MP! i discovered their existence on my iPod sometime last winter and i just love them! i hope to see them in concert at Warped Tour in a couple weeks. anyways, this song is a happy song that i decided to put on. well i guess parts of it are happy.. well just enjoy nonetheless! plus its on my playlist on this blog! how perfect! haha

i look back to the one and only sumemr time
and my girl was the envy of every friends of mine
she slept safely in my arms
we were so young and invincible

closed lips, she was never one to kiss and tell
those trips in the summer never went so well
young love is such dumb love
call it what you want it was still enough

(chorus)
and still out of my reach
and still all of the things
that i want in my life
how could i ask you to leave me?
and we were just kids in love
the summer was full of mistakes we wouldnt learn from
the first kiss stole the breath from my lips
why did the last one tear us apart?

we'd walk down the beach counting every star
out hearts beat inside our chest
leaving us gasping for every breath

her smile with the wind blowing through her hair
was so contagious in the air
so satisfying and i'm still smiling

(chorus)

we're falling down, can we pick up the pieces?
we're at an all time low, how do we get it back?
we're falling down, can we pick up the pieces?
we're falling down, can we pick up the pieces now?

we were just kids in love
the summer was full of mistakes we wouldnt learn from
the first kiss stole the breath from my lips
why did the last one tear us apart?

Screaming Infidelities

by Dashboard Confessional- i dont really have a disclaimer for this song, except for that i am only putting a few lyrics on

i'm reading your note over again
there's not a word that i comprehend
except when you signed it
"i will love you always and forever"

well as for now i'm gonna hear the saddest songs
and sit alone and wonder
how you're making out
but as for me, i wish that i was anywhere with anyone
making out

i'm missing your laugh
how did it break?
and when did your eyes begin to look fake?
i hope you're as happy as you're pretending

i am alone
in my defeat i wish i knew you were safely at home

your hair, it's everywhere
screaming infidelities
and taking its wear

Breathe

by Taylor Swift- this is a good breakup song. one that ive used countless times. not that im going through a breakup or anything, i was just listening to it earlier and it brought back some memories....

i see your face in my mind as i drive away
'cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way
people are people and sometimes we change our minds
but it's killing me to see you go after all this time

music starts playin like the end of a sad movie
its the kind of ending you dont really want to see
cause its tragedy and itll only bring you down
now i dont know what to be without you around

and we know its never simple, never easy
never a clean break, no one here to save me
you're the only thing i know like the back of my hand

and i can't breathe
without you, but i have to
breathe without you, but i have to

never wanted this, never wanted to see you hurt
every little bump in the road i tried to swerve
people are people and sometimes it doesnt work out
nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out

it's two a.m., feeling like i just lost a friend
hope you know its not easy, easy for me
i cant breathe without you, but i have to
i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry

Too Late

by Me
7/9/10

im dying to tell you
how much i really love you
i didnt realize it before
it became too late

and now youre gone
wont be back for years
things had ended badly between us
but time had run out to fix it

the memories still haunt me
but theres no one to tell how it feels
no one would understand
maybe not even you

the years will pass
and i'll try to find someone new
but there's no way i can forget
when you're always on my mind

we had started out as friends
then something changed when we kissed
and we would never be the same again
because what we had was real

we knew each other so well
we were best friends for so long
there are so many thing i wish i could change now
so many things that i would have done different

i still remember our first kiss
who would have thought
after a kiss like that
we would end up like this

if i could have had more time
then we would be inseparable again
but you had someone new
so i tried to find my own

the search didnt last long
it was all a mistake to leave you
if i could go back
i wouldnt have given up so easily

then things changed again
the distance tore us apart
and there was nothing i could do or say
to change your mind

i messed us up
and yet you say you still love me
then who is this other girl?
what do you expect from me?

you still had to go
and all i can do is wait
for someone just like you to come along
and realize that it was always you i was waiting for

your letters drive me crazy
i tell myself not to write back
but i end up doing it anyway
because i'm not ready to give up

a lot will change while you're gone
my dreams and wishes now seem so far away
so i run from this fantasy
hoping that reality isn't far off

i thought i got over you
but the memories are unforgettable
so i pulled out a notebook
and these words came

i'm dying to tell you
how much i really love you
i didnt realize it until now
and now it's too late

The First Time

by Family Force 5- this song you wouldnt think that the Phamily would normally have, but while listening to some of their harder stuff i came across this song and just fell in love with it

i got these memories, they're all of you and me
i've been recording them ever since i was seventeen
push playback then rewind
i see us meeting for the very first time

a mental note of you, you sang my melody
first bar in a lifelong symphony
the prelude to a kiss
my heart's pounding as a reminisce
press repeat
'cause i want to see

(chorus)
the first time that i saw your face
the first time that you spoke my name
the first time that i heard you say
there's a first time with me everyday

the first time that i felt your touch
the first time i couldnt get enough

another memory, when you first looked at me
i hit pause and then love hit me back
under attack stopped me in my tracks
there you go again, your eyes give me a flashback

remember that time, we stayed up all night
i swear we danced until we saw daylight
step by step and frame by frame
slow motion, let me see you again
press repeat
'cause i have to see

(chorus)

the first time that i felt your touch
the first time i couldnt get enough
the first time that i heard you say
there's a first time with me everyday

no matter what i do
i wont fast forward anything with you
i know you feel it too
the first time i saw love i was with you
press repeat
'cause i want to see

(chorus)

the first time that i felt your touch
the first time i couldnt get enough
the first time that i heard you say
there's a first time with me everyday

Old School

by Hedley- this song has too many memories from last fall. it reminds me of a very dear friend of mine, a friend who i have gone through so much with. this was "our song". i miss him.

dont believe everything happiness says
nothing feels better than hiding these days
we bury our fears in the drink, in these tears
for the days we believed we could fly

so call up your brothers and sisters and friends
we'll go back to the place where the night never ends
we'll remember the fires, the burning car tires
boy how in the hell did we get here?

(chorus)
so why don't you meet me, down behind our old school
we'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard for how
cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity
the apathy's surrounding me
don't close your eyes or we'll fade away

over and over and over again
we sat down for a minute, grew up into men
now we're putting out fires and changing car tires
man how in the hell did we get here?

(chorus)

and we'll never get back what we gave away
when we still have that fire in our eyes
don't believe everything happiness says
nothings as real as our old reckless ways
when we drink by the fires
the burning car tires
bad girls and good liars
the dreams we'd conspire
the days we went crazy
the nights wild and hazy
man how in the hell did we get here?

(chorus)

don't close your eyes or we'll fade away

Already Gone

by Kelly Clarkson- this song is one of my many break-up songs, it doesn't apply to my most recent one, but just another one, one that the memories keep haunting me with

remember all the things we wanted
now all our memories, they're haunted
we were always meant to say goodbye

even with our fists held high
it never would've worked out right
we were never meant for do or die

i didnt want us to burn out
i didnt come here to hold you, now i cant stop

(chorus)
i want you to know that it doesnt matter
where we take this road someone's gotta go
and i want you to know you couldnt have loved me better
but i want you to move on so i'm already gone

looking at you makes it harder
but i know that you'll find another
that doesnt always make you want to cry

started with a perfect kiss then
we could feel the poison set in
perfect couldnt keep this love alive

you know that i love you so
i love you enough to let go

(chorus)

i'm already gone, already gone
you cant make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
i'm already gone, already gone
there's no moving on so i'm already gone

Life After You

by Daughtry- this song has been on my iPod for awhile and somehow I just discovered that I had it, which is a good thing because recently I had a music purge, so obviously it made the cut! I have been listening to it a lot the past few days and I feel the need to share it for today's post.

ten miles from town and i just broke down
spittin' out smoke on the side of the road
i'm out here alone just tryin' to get home
to tell you i was wrong but you already know

believe me i won't stop at nothin'
to see you so i've started runnin'

all that i'm after is a life full of laughter
as long as i'm laughin' with you
i'm thinking that all that still matters is love ever after
after the life we've been through
'cause i know there's no life after you

you and i, right or wrong, there's not other one
after this time i spent alone
it's hard to believe that a man with sight could be so blind
thinkin' 'bout the better times, must've been outta my mind
so i'm runnin' back to tell you

all that i'm after is a life full of laughter
as long as i'm laughin' with you
i'm thinkin' 'bout all that still matters is love ever after
after the life we've been through, yeah
know there's not life after you

The Other Side of the Door

by Taylor Swift- more than once has this song applied to my life, the last two stanzas are my favorite

in the heat of the fight, i walked away
ignoring words that you were saying, trying to make me stay
i said this time i've had enough
and you've called a hundred times, but i'm not picking up

'cause i'm so mad, i might tell you that it's over
but if you look a little closer

(chorus)
i said leave, but all i really want is you
to stand outside my window throwing pebbles
screaming "i'm in love with you"
wait there in the pouring rain, coming back for more
and don't you leave, 'cause i know
all i need is on the other side of the door

me and my stupid pride, sitting here alone
going through the photgraphs, staring at the phone
i keep going back over things we both said
and i remember the slamming door and all the things that i misread

so baby, if you know everything, tell me why you couldn't see
when i left i wanted you to chase after me

(chorus)

and i scream out the window i can't even look at you, i don't need you
but i do, i do, i do
i'll say there's nothing you can say to make this right again
i mean it, i mean it, what i mean is

(chorus)

with your face and the beautiful eyes
and the conversation with the little white lies
and the faded picture of a beautiful night
you carried me from your car up the stairs

and i broke down crying, was she worth this mess
after everything and that little black dress
after everything, i must confess
i need you

Some Hearts

by, Carrie Underwood- I am just hoping for my lucky moment like this to come along...

i've never been the kind that you'd call lucky
always stumbling around in circles
but i must have stumbled into something
look at me
am i really alone with you

i wake up feeling like my life's worth living
can't recall when i last felt that way
guess it must be all this love you're giving
never knew never knew it could be like this
but i guess

some hearts
they just get all the right breaks
some hearts have the stars on their side
some hearts
they just have it so easy
some hearts just get lucky sometimes

now who'd have thought someone like you could love me
you're the last thing my heart expected who'd have thought i'd ever find somebody
someone who someone who makes me feel like this
well i guess

some hearts
they just get all the right breaks
some hearts have the stars on their side, yes
some hearts
they just have it so easy
some hearts just get lucky sometimes

Dancing With Tears In My Eyes, by Kesha

here we go
welcome to my funeral
without you i dont even have a pulse
all alone it's dark and cold
with every move i die

i have destroyed our life
it gone, payback is sick
it all my fault

i'm dancing
with tears in my eyes
just fighting
to get through the night
i'm losing it

with every move i die
so when did i
become such a hyprocrite
double life
lies that you caught me in
trust me i'm paying for it
with every move i die

this is it and now
you're really gone this time
never once thought
i'd be in pieces left behind

i'm dancing
with tears in my eyes
just fighting
to get through the night
i'm losing it

At The Beginning

This song just seemed so fitting to start out my blog with. It is one of my all-time favorite songs, featured in the movie Anastasia, performed by Donna Lewis and Richard Marx.

We were strangers starting out on a journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

(chorus)
And life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river and I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there whent he storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

(chorus)

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
I know tha my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

(chorus)

In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you
