22-20’s – Shoot Your Gun

Do you ever wonder if we make moments in our lives, or if the moments in our lives make us?

pin me some sad story
sell me some excuse
to help me understand the things you do
’cause the way you treat your lovers
well I just can’t relate
well where’d you learn to shoot your gun so straight?
oh baby won’t you cry?
show me there are some tears behind your eyes
oh baby won’t you cry?
show me there’s a hurt behind your eyes
once you had a reason
and once you had a place
you had it all and laid it all to waste
and I know you hate to need us
but why’d you need to hate?
and where’d you learn to shoot without restraint?
oh baby won’t you cry?
you cut yourself so let me see you bleed
oh baby won’t you cry?
cry for all the things you’ll never be
don’t you see your father?
don’t you feel the love?
don’t you see your brother?
don’t you feel the love?
well could you be a mother
could you ever find the love?
that you would not place yourself above
oh baby won’t you cry?
show me there are some tears behind your eyes
oh baby won’t you cry?
why’d you have to kill to feel alive?
why’d you have to kill to feel alive?
why’d you have to kill to feel alive?

ray Lamontagne – Empty

sometimes the people you love most leave.. they leave because their scared that they might love you back…

She lifts her skirt up to her knees,
walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing.
I never learned to count my blessings,
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters.
I walk on down the hill,
through grass, grown tall and brown
and still its hard somehow to let go of my pain.
On past the busted back of that old and rusted Cadillac
that sinks into this field, collecting rain.
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged.

And of these cut-throat busted sunsets,
these cold and damp white mornings
I have grown weary.
If through my cracked and dusted dime-store lips
I spoke these words out loud would no one hear me?
Lay your blouse across the chair,
let fall the flowers from from your hair
and kiss me with that country mouth, so plain.
Outside, the rain is tapping on the leaves,
to me it sounds like they're applauding us the the quiet love we've made.
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged.

Well I looked my demons in the eyes,
laid bare my chest, said "Do your best, destroy me.
You see, I've been to hell and back so many times,
I must admit you kind of bore me."
There's a lot of things that can kill a man,
there's a lot of ways to die,
listen, some already did that walked beside me.
There's a lot of things I don't understand,
why so many people lie.
Its the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me.
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged.

Snow Patrol – Run (Live)

 

I see us through a glass of window. So clearly…

I’ll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You’ve been the only thing that’s right
In all I’ve done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we’ll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we’ll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can’t raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up…
Slower slower
We don’t have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We’re bound to be afraid
Even if it’s just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Uh Huh Her – Dreamer

People are not speachless, words are.

You’ve seen the worst of me now
I’m all alone see
You lost me somehow
And what we’re
fighting for is peace
Are you still in love with me,
Or someone else?
Well are you such a dreamer?
Put yourself in my shoes
Careful what you wish for love
(oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh)
I’ve seen the worst of you too
I let it go see
Because I have to
And when I’m falling on my knees
You’ll take my hand in yours
What will be, we’ll be
Cause are you such a dreamer?
Put yourself in my shoes
Careful what you wish for love
What’s the matter with our ways
I’m missing something,
not to blame
But don’t you worry,
this will pass
It’s only cause my mind’s
been spinning
No control,
I’ve lost my head
All of this is just beginning
Not enough,
it’s never enough
I’ll only want to keep on dreaming
Cause are you such a dreamer?
Put yourself in my shoes
Careful what you wish for love (oooh)
Cause are you such a dreamer?
Put yourself in my shoes
Careful what you wish for love
(oooh, oooh, oooh,
oooh, oooh, oooh)
