The Academy Is ... - Sleeping With Giants (Lifetime)

I've noticed, people, they all have motives
Different, yet all the same
I fumble through every word that was spoken,
And I barely knew your name
I'm tongue-tied, it runs through my blood and my insides
Some things we can't escape
But if we try, if we try, we can leave this behind

It's been a lifetime, a lifetime we waited for
A simple question, kid, "are you with me or not at all ?"

Your eyes wide, always ahead of the curve tide,
Quiet, and confident
Oh, we stood there, awkward and youthful, we tangled
A piece of my soul escaped
Oh, we are restless and tired of sleeping with giants,
A modern mankind with their egos of fire and it seems like

It's been a lifetime, a lifetime we've waited for
A simple question, kid, "are you with me or not at all ?"

Are we wasting time or is it wasting us ?
It's been a lifetime waiting for now, now
Well, you've got to find a way,
You've got to find a way,
You've got to find a way,
You've got to find a way,
You've got to find a way before you fold

It's been a lifetime, a lifetime I've been waiting for.
A simple question, kid, "are you with me or not at all ?"

It's been a lifetime, a lifetime we waited for
I need an answer, kid, you're either with me or not at all, no, no
Are we wasting time or is it wasting us ?
It's been a lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime, lifetime, yeah
Well, you've got to find a way,
You've got to find a way,
You've got to find a way,
You've got to find a way.
Son you've got to find a way,
You've got to find a way,
You've got to find a way before you fold.

"No Worries"

I just know your life's gonna change
Gonna get a little better
Even on the darkest day
I just know your life's gonna change
Gonna get a little further
Right until the feelings change

So, is this how it goes?
Think you've come this far with nothing to show
That ain't so, no
You don't see where you are
And if you don't look back you know you'll never know

Cause you think that you've been living, just treading water
And waiting in the wings for the show to begin
But I always see you searching
As you try that bit harder
Getting closer, oh yeah, to the life you're imagining

(I just know your life's gonna change)
Maybe not today, maybe not today
Some day soon you'll be all right
(I just know your life's gonna change)
Don't turn the other way, turn the other way
Feels like luck is on your side
(Just wanna live)
No worries, no worries
(Don't wanna die)
No worries, no worries
(Fight through the lows)
Say it for me, say it for me,
(And take all the highs)
We all need somebody
(Yeah we can sink)
No worries, no worries
(Or can you swim)
No worries, no worries
(Or walk on out)
Say it for me, say it for me,
(Or jump right in)
We all need somebody

So, baby keep drifting on
Your endeavours ain't just selfless wasted time
Seek and find, yeah yeah
You're not that far from what you've hoped and wished for all along

Cause you think that you've been living, just treading water
And waiting in the wings for the show to begin
But I always see you searching
As you try that bit harder
Getting closer, oh yeah, to the life you're imagining

I just know your life's gonna change
Say it for me, say it for me
We all need somebody

Anberlin - The Runaways

Come closer now
I know your desire is to be desired
Steal a kiss yet and call us friends
Distance is the thief in which you conspire

Turn and time and time will tell
Time will tell or tear us apart
You're miles and miles and miles away
Silence reveals where we really are

You only stand to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
You only stand to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
Runaway, runaway girl

It's clearer now
You're nowhere into giving
Giving into, giving into me
It's your fault
You're like a rare disease
I know you're in love
With love I believe

Turn and time and time will tell
Time will tell or tear us apart
You're miles and miles and miles away
Silence reveals where we really are

You only stand to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
You only stand to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
Runaway, runaway girl

Do you expect me to wait here ?
(All alone in my thoughts and fears)
My whole life could flash before your eyes
(Hope one day that you realize)
This isn't the way it's supposed to be
(This is your life girl, now without me)
May regrets for us well up inside
(As feelings for you are buried alive)
Buried alive

You only stand to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
You only stand to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
Runaway, runaway girl

I only stand to break your heart
You can tell it by the way I walk away,
Runaway girl
I only stand to break your heart
You can tell it by the way I run away,
Runaway girl

Song Title: Lullaby
Artist/Band: Mantra feat Linda Oliveri
Artist/Band: Hed Kandi - Winter Chill 06.04, available on Import only
Style: Chillout Sessions

Kicking stones
walking home
how did i lift my sight from the ground
just in time
stars align
a moment defined for you

i take one step closer
so i can see that
familiar sweet gaze in your eyes
a flood of memories pull me in
like a lullaby

i've been broken
words unspoken
between a recent page of my life
wounds open
just soaking in
the rays of a starry, starry night

you're smiling
while wiping my tears
a kiss away, they flow to the past
just in time
worlds collide
a moment defined for you

i take one step closer
so i can see that
familiar sweet gaze in your eyes
a flood of memories pull me in
like a lullaby

you take one step closer
so i can see that
familiar sweet look in your eyes
a flood of memories pull me in
like a lullaby

a little bit closer
look into my eyes
a little bit closer

If the rain must fall by James Morrison


Oh life can be strange
Good and bad in so many ways
And in time you will find
That things are not always what they seem

Well I've got something to say
But you might laugh, joke or run away
Coz I'm awkward and nervous
Sometimes I don’t say much at all

But if the rain must fall
If I lose it all
If the world comes down and takes my soul
If the sky turns black
And there’s no, no way back
It won't matter much to me
If I had you
All I need is your love
That's all I need
All I need is your love

Oh well dreams can come true
if you know inside you really want them to or you can sit you can wait
You can leave your fate in someone else’s hands
Oh but I, I want you
And nothing else can make me feel the way you do
So I’m waiting, I’m wishing
That it's me you'll be holding tonight and every night

Relient K - Devastation And Reform

Fear can drive stick
And it's taking me down this road
A road down which
I swore I'd never go
And here I sit
Thinking of God knows what
Afraid to admit
I might self-destruct

So lock the windows
And bolt the door
Cuz I've got enough problems
Without creating more

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started

Usually I'll cause my own first hit
It seems to me to be slightly masochistic
But there'd be no story
Without all this descension
So I inflict the conflict
With the utmost of contemption

So lock the windows
And bolt the door
Cuz I've got enough problems

Without creating more

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started

Thank you God
For giving me the insight
So I might make
These wrongs right
If and when
There ever is a next time
Cuz failure is a blessing in disguise

Pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started
The shell of what I had when I first started

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started
When I first started
The shell of what I had when I first started

Cold - When Heaven's Not Far Away

If you slip away,
in darkness do you fall ?

And if God created love,
did he make it for everyone ?

Is there solitude and hope,
can you still dream ?

If the devil makes you cry do you change ?

In my own shame, when heaven's not far away
In my own shame, when heaven's not far away

Do the little things in life stay with your soul ?

Does an angel hold a sign,
with directions for everyone ?

Is there someone there to have and hold for me ?

If the stars refuse to shine do you change ?

In my own shame, when heaven's not far away
In my own shame, when heaven's not far away

Not far away, from, me
Not far away, from, me
Not far away

My own shame, when heaven's not far away
In my own shame, when heaven's not far away

When heaven's not far away
When heaven's not far away

It’s never been easy for me
To find words to go along, with a melody
But this time there’s actually something, on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines

Since I’ve met you, my whole life has changed
It’s not just my furniture, you’ve rearranged
I was living in the past, but somehow you’ve brought me back
And I haven’t felt like this since before Frankie said relax

And while I know, based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet

For years I’ve been telling myself, the same old story
That I’m happy to live off my so called, former glories
But you’ve given me a reason, to take another chance
Now I need you, despite the fact, that you’ve killed all my plants

And though I know, I’ve already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet
Don’t write me off just yet

I simply love this song from Music and Lyrics movie with Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. Even though it's a chick flick - but did I say I love it?[/i]

Clocks - Coldplay

The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead singing

Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that cant be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed singing

You are
You are

Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know singing

Come out upon my seas,
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease, singing

You are, you are, you are
You are, you are, you are

And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are
You are

Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go

I'll Stand By You

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen a dark side too

When the night falls on you
Don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm alot like you

When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when....
When the night falls on you ,baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

(I'll stand by you my baby)
I'll stand by you
(I'll stand by you my baby)
Won't let nobody hurt you
(Ahh ahh aaahh ahhh)

I'll stand by you
(I'll stand by you)
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you

Furry Happy Monsters - REM

Ha Ha Ha Ha
Furry happy monsters laughing (oh, that’s great!) (ha ha ha ha)
Monsters having fun,
Happy, happy
See them jump and run.
Happy, happy
laughing all the while
Cheerful cheerful
Flashing a big smile

That they’re feeling fine

Furry happy monsters feeling glad

Something has gone wrong, (what are we gonna do?)
Sighing, sighing.
Faces have turned long, ( I am so sad!)
Crying, crying.
Hear them sob and whine, (oh oh oh)
Tearful, tearful.
That’s a real good sign,
That they’re feeling glum.
Sad, sad times have come.

Furry sobbing monsters feeling sad.
Furry sobbing monsters feeling sad. (oh so it’s sad)
Furry sobbing monsters crying.

Come on monsters, you don’t have to cry, (we don’t)
we can be happy! (all right) (yeah!)

Monsters, Happy, Monsters
Monsters, Happy, Monsters
Monsters, Happy, Monsters
Monsters, Happy, Monsters

They met in a hurricane
Standing in the shelter out of the rain
She tucked a note into his hand
Later on they took his car
Drove on down where the beaches are
He wrote her name in the sand
Never even let go of her hand

Somehow they stayed that way
For those 5 days in May
Made all the stars around them shine
Funny how you can look in vain
Living on nerves and such sweet pain
The loneliness that cuts so fine
To find the face you've seen a thousand times

Sometimes the world begins
To set you up on your feet again
And oh It wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
The way that circumstances go
Always going to hit you by surprise
I know my past
You were there
In everything I've done
You are the one

Looking back it's hard to tell
Why they stood while others fell
Spend your life working it out
All I know is one cloudy day
They both just ran away
Rain on the windshield heading South
She loved the lines around his mouth

Sometimes the world begins
To set you up on your feet again
It wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
The way that circumstances go
Always going to hit you by surprise
I know my past
You were there
In everything I've done
You are the one

Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what it's like to be new

Cause in my head there's a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts too far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
Where they're far more suited than here

I cannot guess what we'll discover
We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's
And not one speck will remain

I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
