I can feel the colour running As it's fading from my face Try to speak but nothin's coming Nothing I could say to make you stay Grab your suitcase call a taxi It's 3am now where you gonna go? Gonna stay with friends in London And that's all I get to know.
Just a cigarette gone No you couldn't be that far I'm driving my car to where I hope you are Maybe I can talk you down Maybe I can talk you down We're standing on a tiny ledge Before this goes over the edge Gonna use my heart and not my head And try to open up your eyes This is reletionship suicide 'Coz if you go, I go... 'Coz if you go, I go...
Taking shortcuts through the alleys While you're racing through my mind Cops can chase but they won't catch me Not before I get to speak my mind If there's still time, oh
Just a cigarette gone No you couldn't be that far I'm driving my car to where I hope you are Maybe I can talk you down Maybe I can talk you down We're standing on a tiny ledge Before this goes over the edge Gonna use my heart and not my head And try to open up your eyes This is reletionship suicide 'Coz if you go, I go... 'Coz if you go, I go... 'Coz if you go, I go... 'Coz if you go, I go...
We're standing on a tiny ledge Before this goes over the edge Gonna use my heart and not my head
We're standing on a tiny ledge Before this goes over the edge Gonna use my heart and not my head
Just a cigarette gone No you couldn't be that far I'm driving my car to where I hope you are Maybe I can talk you down Maybe I can talk you down We're standing on a tiny ledge Before this goes over the edge Gonna use my heart and not my head And try to open up your eyes This is reletionship suicide 'Coz if you go, I go... 'Coz if you go, I go... 'Coz if you go, I go... 'Coz if you go, I go...
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor. Reaching for the phone 'cuz I can't fight it anymore. And I wonder if I ever cross your mind? For me it happens all the time. It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now. Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now. And I don't know how I can do without. I just need you now.
Another shot of whiskey, can't stopping looking at the door. Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before. And I wonder if I ever cross your mind? For me it happens all the time. It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now. Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now. And I don't know how I can do without. I just need you now.
Oh whoa Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all. It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now. And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now. Well I don't know how I can do without. I just need you now I just need you now. Oh baby I need you now.
(I haven't found this to embed yet but the lyrics themselves are wonderful...)
I'd give anything but I won't give up on you I'd say anything, but not goodbye I will run with your changes and I'm always on your side And there's not a word I've ever heard that would make me change my mind
Words they'll try to shake you Don't let them break you Or stop your world from turning When words keep you from feeling good Use them as I would and let them burn
Like stones in your pocket people try to wear you down Someone always wants to take the love you've found So let's runs with these changes and I want you by my side And there's not a word I've ever heard that would make me change my mind
Words they'll try to shake you Don't let them break you Or stop your world from turning When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as I would and let them burn Let them burn Let them burn Underneath every word somebody's heart been broken With or without words we try to forget
Words they'll try to shake us Don't let them break us Or stop our world from turning When words keep you from feeling good Use them as I would and let them burn
Words they'll try to shake you Don't let them break you Or stop your world, stop your world from turning When words keep you from feeling good Use them as I would and let them burn
Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains I knew I wouldn't forget you and so I went and let You blow my mind Your sweet moon beam The smell of you in every single dream I dream I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided Who's one of my kind
Hey soul sister ain't that mister mister on the radio stereo The way you move ain't fair you know Hey soul sister I don't want to miss a single thing you do Tonight Heeey Heeeeey heeeey...
Just in time I´m so glad you have a one track mind like me You gave my life direction A game show love connection we can't deny I´m so obsessed my heart is bound to beat right Out my untrimmed chest I believe in you like a virgin your Madonna And I'm always gonna want to blow your mind
Hey soul sister ain't that mister mister on the radio stereo The way you move aint fair you know Hey soul sister I don't want to miss a single thing you do Tonight
Way you can cut a rug Watching you's the only drug I need So gangster I'm so thug You're the only one I'm dreaming of you see I can be myself now finally In fact there's nothing I can't be I want the world to see you be with me
Hey soul sister ain't that mister mister on the radio stereo The way you move aint fair you know Hey soul sister I don't want to miss a single thing you do Tonight (Repeat) Hey, Hey, Hey, Tonight
I hope I see you soon, Because you’re fond of me and I am fond of you. Most days I guess that’s all it takes, That and just a few mistakes. And I have made mistakes. I have made mistakes today, Yes I have made mistakes today.
So tonight I’ll be your Brooklyn So cool and yet so far away! Just tell me what you want for me to say And if it brings you home…
I guess its safe to say, We both could use this fire escape. Cause I’ve been breathing ashes in, And I’ve been waiting for something to carry you away.
Cause I have made mistakes today… And I have made mistakes today… Yes I have made mistakes.
So tonight I’ll be your Brooklyn So cool and yet so far away! Just tell me what you want for me to say And if it brings you home…
So I hope you travel safe. I hope you’re cool, I hope you find your way. Because it’s sounds like it is safe to say, We disagree on one too many things.
Cause I have made mistakes today, Yes I have made mistakes today. And I have made mistakes…
I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time you'd let me know What's real and going on below But now you never show it to me do you? Remember when I moved in you? The holy dark was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you It's not a cry you can hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Everything she sees she says she wants. Everything she wants I see she gets.
That's my daughter in the water everything she owns I bought her Everything she owns. That's my daughter in the water, everything she knows I taught her. Everything she knows.
Everything I say she takes to heart. Everything she takes she takes apart.
That's my daughter in the water every time she fell I caught her. Every time she fell. That's my daughter in the water, I lost every time I fought her. I lost every time.
Every time she blinks she strikes somebody blind. Everything she thinks blows her tiny mind. That's my daughter in the water, who'd have ever thought her? Who'd have ever thought? That's my daughter in the water, I lost everytime I fought her Yea, I lost every time
I'm not looking for trouble. I'm taking one on the chin I don't know where I'm going, or where to begin Alone in this room, thinking of you, and what could've been The trouble that I've seen, the trouble got to me
And there's no signs of life in here, at all The sound of quiet is deafening, I'll wait for you to call And there's no signs of life in here, at all All the trouble that I've seen, the trouble Won't get the best of me
A la la la la la, A la la la la la, A la la la la la la
Sending you out a signal, over land, over sea From the top of the Great Lakes, down the Mississippi Alone in a room, thinking of you and those possibilities The trouble that I've seen, this trouble got to me
And there's no signs of life in here, at all The sound of quiet is deafening, I'll wait for you to call And there's no signs of life in here, at all All the trouble that I've seen, the trouble All the trouble that I've seen, the trouble Won't get the best of me
And there's no signs of life in here, at all The sound of quiet is deafening, I'll wait for you to call And there's no signs of life in here, at all All the trouble that I've seen, the trouble All the trouble that I've seen, the trouble Won't get the best of me
Standing on a bus stop Feeling your head pop Out in the night On the kind of night Where you want to be out On the street, on the street Crawling up the walls Like a cat in heat
And the air is thin And it blows through your skin And you feel like something Is about to begin But you don't know what And you don't know when So you tear at your hair And you scratch at your skin [best lines in a song]
You wanna run away, run away Just get on the fucking train and leave today And it doesn't matter where you spend the night You just might end up somewhere in a fight, in a fight Or caught in your room on a concrete shelf Fighting all alone, with yourself, with yourself And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed In a wishing well, a wishing well A wishing well, a wishing well Well, you're tossed in the air And you fell and you fell Through the dark blue waters Where you cast your spell Like you were just a wish that could turn out well
So you stand on the corner Where the angels sit And you think to yourself, "This is it, this is it, This is all that I have All I can stand Is this air in my lungs And this coin in my hand That you tossed in the air And I fell, and I fell All the way to the bottom Of the well, of the well Like those soft little secrets That you tell, that you tell To yourself, when you think No one's listening to, well"
And the walls spin And you're paper-thin From the haze of the smoke And the mescaline The threat of your brow Under unmade sheets In your ear with the noise From the darkest streets We ran far and wide You screamed, you cried You thought suicide was an alibi But you were always a mess You were always aloof Yeah, it's awful, I guess But it's the awful truth It was truth from the first To the last words that she read
And she emerged from the dark Like a ghost in my head She said, "I haven't forgot Any words that you said I just stare at the clocks And I cry in my sleep And I tear up your letters And I burn them in heaps And I gather the ashes In that hole in the ground Where we fell"
Oh no I just keep on falling (Back to the same old…) Where’s hope when misery comes crawling? (Oh my way, Ay…) With your faith you’ll trigger a landslide (victory) Kill off this common sense of mind
It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine You can’t down it with your eyes So we don’t need the headlines We don’t need the headlines We just want…
Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now? Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Right now you’re the only reason (I’m not letting go, oh…) Time out if everyone’s worth pleasing (Well ha-ha!) You’ll trigger a landslide (Victory) to kill off their finite state of mind
It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine You can’t down it with your eyes So we don’t need the headlines No, we don’t want your headlines We just want…
Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now? Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure? [repeat x2]
Alright, so you think you’re ready? Ok, then you say this with me Go! We were born for this We were born for this Alright, so you think you’re ready? OK, then you say this with me Go! We were born for this We were born for this We were born for this We were born for this
We were born for We were born for
Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure? Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure now?
Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure? Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
We were born for this We were born for this We were born for this
Amanda is like the biggest Owl City fan EVER. She really liked them before I started listening to them. *dabs eyes* My baby is getting me into new music, I'm so proud.
Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky And we'll stir the stars around and watch them fall away Into the Hudson Bay and plummet out of sight and sound The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills Where I live in the Alpine heights Below the northern lights I spend my coldest nights alone awake And thinking of the weekend we were in love (The weekend we were in love)
Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull A thousand miles from the tide Put photos on the walls of New York shopping malls Distract me so I stay inside I wish the rocket stayed over the promenade 'cuz I would make a hook And I fish them from the sky My darling she and I were hanging on so take us high To sing the world goodbye
I am floating away lost in a silent ballet I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view Late nights and early parades Still photos and noisy arcades My darling we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere
Are you there (Are you there) (Are you there) (Are you there)
Are you there (Are you there) (Are you there) (Are you there)
Or are you just a decoy dream in my head Am I home or am I simply tumbling out alone
I am floating away (Floating away) Lost in a silent ballet (Silent ballet) I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades (Early parades) Still photos and noisy arcades (Noisy arcades) My darling we're both on the wing look down and keep on singing And we can go anywhere
Are you there (Are you there) (Are you there) (Are you there)
Are you there (Are you there) (Are you there) (Are you there)
You know you missed the song of the day posts. Admit it.
You came with the season, As the first swallow song A brown headed stranger, With a five-letter name dooodoodoo
We planted our kisses Where the wild berries grow My feet sprouted wings And I flew all the way home dooodoodoo
My cheeks red like fire engines racing Straight to the heat of your skin And I know our days are numbered, Early bird of the summer you'll fly south Just as the fall begins
The leaves changed their colors And the schoolyards were filled My coat with the patches Barely keeps out the chill, dooodoodoo
You sent me a postcard From a town out of state I wish it were warmer And I hope you're the same dooodoodoo
The fields where we wandered were golden Now only muddy my boots And I know I should recover, You're a bird of the summer, I was wrong to try and capture you
(instrumental)
Flight.. Flight.. Flight.. Flight..
I met someone walking Out on the park by the lake They don't fly any greater But they don't fly away dooodoodoo
Gone is the pale hand of water Here is the first flush of May And soon I will discover whether Birds of the summer Fly in circles or Just fly away
Augustana - Boston In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun... Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed, This world you must've crossed... you said...
You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah, She said You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,
Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across An open field, When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry When they see you You said...
You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah, She said You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,
She said I think I'll go to Boston... I think I'll start a new life, I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name, I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather, I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain... I think I'll go to Boston, I think that I'm just tired I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind... I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset, I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice... oh yeah,
Boston... where no one knows my name... yeah Where no one knows my name... Where no one knows my name... Yeah Boston... Where no one knows my name.
I hung your picture on the wall and that's all it is I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is I know you're living way out west and I don't think that I confessed Everything I feel
You say you got no faith in things that you can't see Well I'm sorry I ain't there with you, but you ain't here with me And I'm down in all my fears But I ain't cryin' no tears over you
'Cause everything's wrong Well it's all right Everything's wrong Well it's all right
You said that this is crazy, you're a half a world away Well I'm sitting and I'm thinking but I didn't know what to say So I said something I can't touch, I always want way too much Anyway
'Cause everything's wrong Well it's all right Everything's wrong Well it's all right
I hung your picture on the wall, but that's all it is I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is I know you're living way out west Don't get me wrong I'm not impressed With you no more
Our mother sets the dinner table Sun crashes to the pavement, yeah Our father workin' just to make ends We spend our lives just tryin' to make sense, of it
But, I feel love I feel a power It comes to me in the darkest hour And I, oh well I feel it again...
In this Dreamland, the kids are alright And the sky is blue We all got wings that know how to fly I'm headed to the moon The sun on my face My head in the clouds Time on my side My feet off the ground I'm not coming down not coming down
Summer ends, the ocean dries up A stranger dies, and no one gives a....fuck I take a look over my shoulder All my friends have gotten older Oh yeah, Oh yeah
But, I feel love I feel a power It comes to me in the darkest hour And I, oh well I feel it again
In this Dreamland, the kids are alright And the sky is blue We all got wings that know how to fly I'm headed to the moon The sun on my face My head in the clouds Time on my side My feet off the ground I'm not coming...
Change just to change Break just to break Blame just to blame My head in the clouds Feet off the ground I'm not coming down
In this Dreamland, the kids are alright And the sky is blue We all got wings that know how to fly I'm headed to the moon The sun on my face My head in the clouds Time on my side My feet off the ground I'm not coming down, yeah I'm not coming down I'm not coming down, yeah I'm not coming down
You looked at me as you walked in the room Like the red sea, you split me open Somehow knew these wings were stolen All you did was save my life
I tried to run but I couldn’t move I’ve paid for these concrete shoes But like the singer that sings the blues You saw hope in the hopeless
I’m not dying All you did was save my life Pulled me out of that flat line Put the heartbeat back inside
I’m not dying All you did was get me through I owe every breath to you Heart and soul, un-paralyzed
All you did was save my life Save my life
I’m not for sale but I’ve been sold The more I hear, the less I know And the lies I swallow whole And their insignificance
The stories been told a million times But it’s different when it’s your life I won the lottery tonight The lottery tonight
I’m not dying All you did was save my life Pulled me out of that flat line Put the heartbeat back inside
I’m not dying All you did was get me through I owe every breath to you Heart and soul, un-paralyzed
All you did was save my life I started to come around The dogs are backing down I'm not afraid to see The devil's gone underground This tightropes been cut down And I can finally breathe
You looked at me as you walked in the room Like a red sea, you split me open Somehow knew these wings were stolen I’m not dying
All you did was save my life Pulled me out of that flat line Put the heartbeat back inside I’m not dying
All you did was get me through I owe every breath to you Heart and soul, un-paralyzed All you did was save my life All you did was save my life (Put the heartbeat back inside) All you did was save my life (Put the heartbeat back inside) All you did was save my life
She said it's quiet, in the shadow of the sun. She looks tired, the life that's come undone. She turns, turns, turns, turns.
She likes hockey, and summers by the lake. We're not talkin' because of my mistakes. I burn, burn, burn, burn.
If you walk out that door, I just don't know what i'd do. I'll never get over you. If my heart hits this floor, I just don't know what I'll do. I'll never get over you.
In this silence, It's never been so loud. I try and fight it, but the words just don't come out. I burn, burn, burn, burn.
If you walk out that door, I just don't know what I'd do. I'll never get over you. Ir my heart hits this floor, I just don't know what I'll do. I'll never get over you.
There's no hiding, from your silence. There's no hiding.
If you walk out that door, I Just don't know what I'd do. I'll never get over you. If my heart hits this floor, I just don't know what I'll do. I'll never get over you.
Don't you go. Don't you go. Don't you go. Don't you go.

Yeah, so I am all that you see here.
I am friendly and kind, crazy and bitchy, playful and flirty...
sometimes I am funny but mostly I just write the first thing that comes to mind and then stop when it ends.
I love life and I am lucky to be living the one that I am.

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog).
All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold.
I don't think I could have done it.
To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise,
but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration.
You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL.
Thank you so much." -Stef
