22-20’s – Shoot Your Gun

ricardocalejo — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 14:29:00 +0000

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

ricardocalejo — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 13:52:00 +0000

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)

ricardocalejo — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 10:10:00 +0000

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

ricardocalejo — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:37:00 +0000

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)

Schiller feat Anggun – Always you

ricardocalejo — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:09:00 +0000

Believe in possibilities, believe in miracles, but build your destiny.

Went from the East to the West
With stories to erase
From my heart my fingers and my face
I’ve tried my very best
No matter wherever I am
There’s nothing I can do
‘cos my love has only one name
And it is you

I believe that somethings are destined
They’re meant to happen
I believe that my heart had chosen
The one in a million
I’ve opened all doors and all access
For you to get into
Now this heart is cold and it’s always
Because of you

Memories force me to remember
To save love from anger
I can’t stop myself but to wonder
Wished I had been better
Counting the time that I’ve wasted
Over someone new
There’s one thing that I ever wanted
It’s only you

It’s only a matter of time
I know soon I will find
That feeling so close to divine
Someone I can call mine
But silence is pounding in my head
Hit me through and through
But everything fails to forget
Is always you

But everything fails to forget
Is always you

(whispers)
Everything fails to forget
It’s always you

Everything fails to forget
Is you

Matthew Perryman Jones – Out of Reach

ricardocalejo — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:23:00 +0000

When it’s over… a new beginning is near.

you’re always bound to fall
there’s nothin you can do
the weight of gravity begins
to pull you down again
so what are you to do now?
stuck between the hope and doubt
you get so close to clarity
makes you question everything
you’re so far away
so far away from me
is it starting to break
underneath my feet
you’re so far away
am i just out of reach?
we keep talking in circles
starin out with empty eyes
wanting to be known again
so afraid of letting in
so do i leave it all to history?
will you ever answer me?
do you still recognize my voice?
or is it lost among the noise?
you’re so far away
far away from me
is it starting to break
underneath my feet?
you’re so far away
am i just out of reach?
and while the world unravels
we’re kickin at shadows
and everyone around us
is making up chaos
oh, i cannot find you
i’m walkin like i’m blinded
am i saying anything at all?
you’re so far away
far away from me
is it starting to break
underneath my feet?
is it set in stone?
could someone tell me please?
am i all alone?
am i just out of reach?

Mikkel Solnado (Gabriel Flies) – We Can Do Anything

ricardocalejo — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:52:00 +0000

Certains of undecisions are the best way to grow up.

We can do anything at All
Just as long as we stand tall
We Can go anywhere from here
Just as long as youre near yeah
Whenever i’m around you
It All seems so clear
If i wasnt such a fool
I’d kiss your lips my dear
We could be the future and the past
…Just as long as we can make it last
We could just let go very slowly
Cause right now you’re filling my head
With so many silly questions
About Human chemistry
They’re making me uneasy
And soft in my knees
When your heart is trying to tell you something
Not that far from the truth…just do it
And if you try to make the right decisions
based on what you’re made of…remember
We can do anything at All
Just as long as we stand tall

David Gray – Fugitive

ricardocalejo — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:32:00 +0000

The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage.

Yeah yeah
Is the answer none of the above
Crouched in a hole like a mud-streaked fugitive
And everyday a different version of
Pourin’ it away like a water through a sieve
Hey better realize my friend
Love in the end now you can’t take it well
Gotta live
If only for a second
I see a twinklin’ in your eye
Gotta try
Well its flesh and blood and camouflage
In through the wall now somethings gotta give
Just another right to sabotage
See through the haze of a mind-rot sedative
When will you realize my friend
Love in the air now you cant take it well
Gotta live
[ David Gray Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
If only for a second
I see a twinklin’ in your eye
Gotta try
The one that you’re forsaken
Surely more than just a lie
Gotta try
Yeah
When will you realize my friend
Love in the end now you can’t take it well
Gotta live
If only for a second
I see a twinklin’ in your eye
Gotta try
The one that you’re forsaken
Surely more than just a lie
Gotta try
It’s for the taken
And you know not to justify
Gotta try
Everyday is a different version of

Medina – You and I

ricardocalejo — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:07:00 +0000

People love others not for who they are but for how they make them feel. You’re making me feel.

nothing left for me to say, there’s no more wicked games to play, it’s time for me to walk away, i am all right..
i feel like i’m on a high, a new beginning that is my life, i’m turning to the rhythm of the night, i am all right..
the music is making me rowing, the only thing that keeps me awake is me knowing there’s no one here to break me or bring me down and no one here to hurt me or fool around.
i have no more time for you to hurt my feelings, i done enough to prove i am all that i believe in, we are at the end, no more stupid lies, i’m better of without you here by my side..

so now there is no longer you and i you and i, you and i you and i, you and i you and i, you and i..
there is no longer you and i you and i, you and i you and i, you and i you and i, you and i..

don’t care what other people say, i know you fool around all day, now it doesn’t hurt me anyway, i am all right..
and when the day turns into night, i’m in a club forgetting you and i, and when i think of how you treating me, you prove me right..
the music is making me rowing, the only thing that keeps me awake is me knowing there’s no one here to break me or bring me down and no one here to hurt me or fool around.
i have no more time for you to hurt my feelings, i done enough to prove i am all that i believe in, we are at the end, no more stupid lies, i’m better of without you here by my side..

so now there is no longer you and i you and i, you and i you and i, you and i you and i, you and i..
there is no longer you and i you and i, you and i you and i, you and i you and i, you and i..

(tks to Lara Melo)
