You Owe Me Nothing In Return - Alanis Morissette

I'll give you countless amounts of outright acceptance if you want it
I will give you encouragment to choose the path you want if you need it
You can speak of anger and doubts, your fears and freak-outs and I'll hold it
You can share your so-called shamefilled accounts of times in your life and I won't judge it
And there are no strings attached to it

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege,and you owe me nothing in return

You can ask for space for yourself and only yourself and I'll grant it
You can ask for freedom as well or time to travel and you'll have it
You can ask to live by yourself or love someone else and I'll support it
You can ask for anything you want, anything at all and I'll understand it
And there are no strings attached to it

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege,and you owe me nothing in return

I bet you're wondering when the next payback shoe will eventually drop
I bet you're wondering when my conditional police will force you to cough up
I bet you're wondering how far you have now danced your way back into debt
This is the only kind of love, as I understand it, that there really is

You can express your deepest of truths, even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it
You can fall into the abyss on your way to your bliss, I'll empathize with
You can say that you'll have to skip town to chase your passion and I'll hear it
You can even hit rock bottom, have a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it
And there are no strings attached

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege,and you owe me nothing in return

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege,and you owe me nothing in return

Your House - Alanis Morissette

I went to your house
Walked up the stairs
Opened your door without ringing the bell
Walked down the hall
Into your room where I could smell you
And I shouldn't be here
Without permission
Shouldn't be here...

Would you forgive me love if I dance in your shower?
Would you forgive me love if I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me love if I stay all afternoon?

I took off my clothes
Put on your robe
Went through your drawers
And I found your cologne
Went down do the den
Found your CD’s
And I played your Joni

And I Shouldn't stay long
You might be home soon
Shouldn't stay long...

Would you forgive me love if I danced in your shower
Would you forgive me love if I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me love if I stay all afternoon?

I burned your incense
I ran a bath
I noticed a letter that sat on your desk
It said:
"Hello love.
I love you so, love.
Meet me at midnight."
And no, it wasn't my writing
I'd better go soon
It wasn't my writing

So forgive me love if I cry in your shower
So forgive me love for the salt in your bed
So forgive me love if I cry all afternoon

Love Song - Joey McIntyre

Yes, he was a New Kid, and yes, I freaking love him









If I could only teach my heart
To talk
If I could only get my words
To walk

I put pen to paper
I tried to write a letter
But sunshine I just got the words wrong

I love you more than ever
I can't say it any better
So I had to put it in a love song

And if I never took the time
To say
What I am feeling deep inside
Today

We fall from the graces
I try to sing your praises
But I'm sure I'd just get the words wrong

I love you more than ever
I can't say it any better
So I had to put it in a love song

If love is so damn hard then tell me why we stay
And give ourselves as fools not knowing what's at stake
We offer up some empty words like we got what it takes

So baby let me take the time...

I lean on the razor
And I bleed on the paper
But I'm still getting all the words wrong

I love you more than ever
I can't say it any better
So I had to put it in a love song

Change - Blind Melon

Sometimes a song is all I need....

I don’t feel the sun's comin’ out today
Its staying in, it’s gonna find another way
As I sit here in this misery
I don’t think I’ll ever ... see the sun from here

And oh as I fade away
They’ll all look at me and say (and then they’ll say)
Hey look at him
I’ll never live that way
But that’s okay
They’re just afraid of change

When you feel life ain’t worth living
You’ve got to stand up
And take a look around you then a look way up to the sky
And when your deepest thoughts are broken
Keep on dreaming boy cause when you stop dreamin’ it’s time to die

And as we all play parts of tomorrow
Some ways will work and other ways we’ll play
But I know we all can’t stay here forever
So I want to write my words on the face of today
And then they’ll paint it

And oh as I fade away
They’ll all look at me and say (they’ll say)
Hey look at him and where he is these days
Life is hard, you have to change
When life is hard you have to change

Acquiesce - Oasis

I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes

I hope that I can say
The things I wish I'd said
To sing my soul to sleep
And take me back to bed
You want to be alone
When we could be alive instead

Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul

Because we need each other
We believe in one another
I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul

There are many things
That I would like to know
And there are many places
That I wish to go
But everything's depending
On the way the wind may blow

I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes

Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul

Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul

'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
Yeah, we believe
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
Because we need
Because we need

Fix You - Coldplay

Why can't someone say things like these to me?







When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream
Down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream
Down your face
And I.......

Tears stream
Down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream
Down your face
And I........

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Swallowed in the Sea - Coldplay

Again, a song that can't be properly expressed with only the lyrics. To fully appreciate it, you have to listen to it.





You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see
Where I was going wrong

You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well that's where I belong
And you belong with me

And I could write it down
And spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line
And hung me out to dry
And darling, that's when I
Decided to go see

You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see

And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world and then it took
It took it back from me

And I could write it down
And spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you'll come back to me

Not swallowed in the sea
And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well that's where I belong
And you belong with me

The streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

Oh, what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
Forget, but not forgive
Not loving all you see

All the streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

I Wonder - Blind Melon

I remember when I was 16 and the last line in this song meant so much to me. The day I turned 17, I thought to myself how this wasn't "my" song anymore.



God I miss you Shannon

All alone the broadening skies
Under the every night I will lie
Scratching claw and grip the rails
Every day my living hell

Oh God you know I've tried
I know how hard I've tried
and oh I tried......

Hey I'd like to daze away
To a place like no one has known
In a state of mind I could call mine
That only I could own

Where I could hum a tune anytime I choose
And then there is no such thing as time
Where I can feel no pain
Just calm and sane

What a place for one to find

Now you see
I'm watching everything I do
And they're watching everything I say
Why won't they leave me be?
Oh, leave me be

I ask myself, I say
Why am I even here?

I wonder
You leave me wondering
You leave me wondering

Won't you stop watching me
I said they're watching me, watching me, watching me

Now in my corner
I got this feeling in my eyes
Arms holding up my knees
And rocking back and forth my life

I didn't mean to feel this way
When I walked into the door
Then they ripped away my memories
And I cant remember who I was before

Now, they're watching everything I do
And they're watching everything I say
So they leave me be
Oh, leave me be

I only wanted to be 16 ... and free

and I wonder

Satellite - Collective Soul

Soon a man will kneel to pray
Soon the light will burn our ... shade

And with the sweet the bitter fades
So take my heart and take your ... place

Cause I will be your force
And I will be your right
And I will watch over you like a ... satellite

Soon reason will have rhyme
Soon wisdom will ... imply

And with courage doubt subsides
So take my heart and take my ... pride

Cause I will be your fault
And I will be your right
And I will watch over you like a ... satellite

And I will be your sword
And will be your might
And will watch over like a ... satellite

Rivers will flow
From scenes unknown
I'll guide you through
By the love I'll show
And the stars will wish
Upon the night
That they could have
A guiding ... satellite

Cause I will be your sword
And I will be your might
And I will watch over you like a ... satellite

And will be your days
And will be your night
And I will watch over you like
Just like a satellite
Just like a satellite

Masters of War - Bob Dylan

I first heard this song many years ago during a Bob Dylan tribute, as sung by Eddie Vedder. Although it's a Dylan song, when Eddie sings it, I can so FEEL it.

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther when the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water that runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That could ever be hurled
The fear to bring children
Into this world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave 'til I'm sure that you're dead

Talk Tonight - Oasis

Oh Noel, you have such a beautiful voice. Why did you even let Liam into your band?







Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million
Miles from home
When
Something
Hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes

Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance
Once again
I landed
Stranded
Hardly even knew your name

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life

Didn't we see how we are
Didn't we see how we are

All your dreams are made
Of strawberry lemonade
And you make sure
I eat today
You take me
Walking
To where you played when you were young

I'll never say that I
Won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say
I don't know why
I know I'm
Leavin'
But I'll be back another day

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
I wanna talk tonight
'Bout how you saved my life
'Bout how you saved my life
'Bout how you saved my life
'Bout how you saved my life
I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight

Throw Your Arms Around Me

Although I heard this song as covered by Pearl Jam, it's originally by Hunters and Collecters. I was tempted to put Eddie's version of the lyrics, but the second verse as it was really written is so beautiful that I decided to go with the original...







I will come for you at nighttime
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go running along your street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry

And we will never forget it
You will make me call your name
And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me

I dreamed of you at nighttime
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you disappear out of view
You know I will never say goodbye

And though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name
And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky...
And we may never meet again...
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me

Walk Away - Christina Aguilera

What do you do when you know something's bad for you but you still can't let go?

One of the former soundtracks to my life...








I was naive
Your love was like candy
Artificially sweet
I was deceived by the wrapping

Got caught in your web
And I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed
And devoured completely

And it hurts my soul
Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my sufferin'

I hate to show
That I
Lost control
Cause I
Keep going right back
To the one thing that I need
To walk away from

I need to get away from you
Need to walk away from you
Get away
Walk away
Walk away

I should have known
That I was used for amusement
Couldn't see through the smoke
It was all an illusion

Now I've been licking my wounds
But the venom seeps deeper
We both can seduce
But darlin' you hold me prisoner

Oh, I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiendin' for a cure

Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need
Oh, I can't mend
This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back to the one thing
That I need
To walk away from

I need to get away from you
Need to walk away from you

Every time I try to grasp for air
I am smothered in despair
It's never over, over

Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare
I let out a silent prayer
Let it be over, over

Inside I'm screaming
Begging, pleading no more

Now what to do
My heart has been bruised
So sad but it's true
Each beat reminds me of you

It hurts my soul
Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my sufferin'
I hate to show that I've
Lost control Cause I
I keep going right back to the one thing
That I need

Oh, I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back to the one thing
That I need

I can't mend this sorry state I'm in
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back to the one thing
That I need
To walk away from

Need to get away from you
Need to walk away from you
Get away
Walk away
Walk away

Need to get away from you
Need to walk away from you
Get away
Walk away
Walk away

Bed of Lies - Matchbox Twenty

It appears that Rob and I maybe able to relate very well...







No I would not sleep
In this bed of lies
So toss me out
And turn in

And there'll be no rest
For these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am

Don't think that I could take another empty moment
Don't think I could that I could fake another hollow smile
When it's not enough just to be lonely
I don't think that I could take another talk about it

Just like me
You've got needs
And they're only a whisper ... away
And we sofly surrendered
To these lives that we've tendered ... away

But I would not sleep
In this bed of lies
So toss me out
And turn in

And there'll be no rest
For these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
Cause I can

I don't want to be the one who turns the whole thing over
I don't want to be somehwere where I just don't belong
It's not enough just to be sorry
Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in

I tried to be
More than me
And I gave until
It all went away
And we've only surrendered
To the worst part of these winters
That we've made

But I would not sleep
In this bed of lies
So toss me out
And turn in

And there'll be no rest
For these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning

I am
All that I'll ever be
When you
Lay your hands
Over me
Don't go weak on me please
I know that it's weak
But god help me I need this

I would not sleep
In this bed of lies
So toss me out
And turn in

And there'll be no rest
For these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
Cause I can

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing - Jack Johnson

Now I was sitting waiting wishing
That you believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel

And I ain't the Lord, no
I'm just a fool
And in loving somebody don't make them love you

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?

I sing ya songs
I dance a dance
I gave ya friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
And maybe you been through this before
But it's my first time
So please ignore
The next few lines cause they're directed at you

I cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool

I keep playing your cards
But it's not my scene
Won't this plot not twist?
I have no place to read?
Keep building me up, then shooting me down
Well I'm already down

Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting

Well if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And If I was I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?

No I can't always be waiting waiting on you
I can't always be playing playing your fool

Forgiveness - Collective Soul

In my silence I would love
To forget
Restitution hasn’t come
Quite yet

And with one accord
I keep pushing forth
I stretch my heart
To heal some more

It used to be all I wanted
To learn
Was wisdom, trust, and truth
By now all I really want
To learn
Is forgiveness for you

As my seasons change I’ve now
Grown to know
When one’s heart creates, one’s soul
Doesn’t owe

So I wash away
Stains of yesterday
Then tempt my heart
With love's display

It used to be all I wanted
To learn
Was wisdom, trust, and truth
By now all I really want
To learn
Is forgiveness for you

Listen - Collective Soul

I'm a bit angry with myself for almost forgetting how much I fucking love Collective Soul







You're now thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
You're now searching
Lost in isolation from your soul

When the bullets you bite
From the pain you request
You're finding them harder to digest
When the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's well deployed

Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

You now hunger
Feeding your mind with selfishness
You now wander
Aimlessly around your consciousness

When your prophecies fail
When your thoughts become weak
Silence creates necessity
And you're clothing yourself
With the shields of despair
Your courage now impaired

Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

You crucify
All honesty
No signs you see
Do you believe
And all your words
Just twist and turn
Reviving just to crash and burn
You're fighting till
The bitter end
If only your heart could
Open ...
... Up and ...
... Listen

Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

Disease - Matchbox Twenty

Ah, this song has been my anthem at times...







Feels like you made a mistake
You made somebody’s heart break
But now I have to let you go
I have to let you go

You left a stain
On every one of my good days
But I am stronger than you know
I have to let you go

No one’s ever turned you over
No one’s tried
To ever let you down
Beautiful girl
Bless your heart

I got a disease
Deep inside me
Makes me
Feel uneasy baby
I can’t live without you
Tell me what I am supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Don’t pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Feels like you’re making a mess
You’re hell on wheels in a black dress
You drove me to the fire
And left me there to burn

Every little thing you do is tragic
All my life, oh was magic
Beautiful girl
I can’t breathe

I got a disease
Deep inside me
Makes me
Feel uneasy baby
I can’t live without you
Tell me what I am supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Don’t pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Well I think that I’m sick
But leave me be
While my world is coming down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me can I be your honey
Be, be strong
Keep telling myself it that won’t take long till
I’m free of my disease
Yeah, well free of my disease
Free of my disease

Well, I got a disease
Deep inside me
Makes me
Feel uneasy baby
I can’t live without you
Tell me what I am supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Don’t pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Well, I think that I’m sick
But leave me be
While my world is coming down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me can I be your honey
Be, be strong
Keep telling myself it that won’t take long till
I’m free of my disease
Yeah, free of my disease
Set me free of my disease

In a Moment - Collective Soul

Ed Roland is a truly evolved individual. God I love these guys.

I miss Ross :-(

The walls came up as the thoughts went down
To the hush of disparity
Sure we know the problem lies
With some insecurities

But we'll never see eye to eye
As long as our tongues are tied
And we'll never be seen as one
Until we find love

In a moment
It could happen
We could wake up
And be laughing
In a moment
It could happen
We could forgive
And be happy

It's a shame our world responds to life
As a puzzle in disguise
I wish our course would lead us towards
The peace and loving kind

But we'll never walk hand in hand
Until we let old wounds mend
And we'll never sing songs as one
Until we find love

In a moment
Some wisdom could be learned
In a moment
New voices could be heard
In a moment
We could make heads turn
In a moment
We could change

Slippin' Out - Ingram Hill

One of my favs by the Ingram Hill boys...






Walkin' in my sleep again
Where were you
Off in some distant land
Was I with you

Slippin' out again
Slippin' out again
Slippin' out again

Take my hand
Let it all go down
Till I am sound asleep
Walk away
Out in the cold
Open your soul
To me

Walkin' in my sleep again
I am here
Run with me if you can
I feel you near

Slippin' out again
Slippin' out again
Slippin' out again

Take my hand
Let it all go down
Till I am sound asleep
Walk away
Out in the cold
Open your soul
To me

Well I don't know where I am again
Find my way back to the bends
Now I will find you

Slippin' out again
Slippin' out again
Slippin' out again

Take my hand
Let it all go down
Till I am sound asleep
Walk away
Out in the cold
Open your soul
To me

Take my hand
Let it all go down
Till I am sound asleep
Walk away
Out in the cold
Open your soul
To me (x4)

Come What May - Moulin Rouge Soundtrack

God Ewan McGregor has a beautiful voice. Nicole Kidman's not too shabby either... I love this song....










Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more

Listen to my heart can you hear it sing
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dieing day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and
I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you (I love you)
Until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dieing day

Oh, come what may
Come what may
I will love you

I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dieing day

Hangin' Around Again - Ingram Hill

Geez I love his voice, and he's a great songwriter as well. His name is Justin Moore...






Hangin' around again,
In the shadow of your broken love
You let me down again,
And I'm drownin' in the damage done
Hangin' around again,
My broken love left in your hand

Until you say you're not afraid
To let me steal your heart
Or that you'll say a prayer for me
In your bed at night
Or that you'll save a page for me
In the book of your life

But now I'm Hangin' around again
Waiting for you to see my light
You let me down again
Cause you made me dream of you all night

And so I'll play my song for you
And make it yours
So I can stay in your life always
Til the end of time
Or that you'll save a page for me
In the book of your life

Sometimes I
Don't know why I hang around anymore
Hoping you'll love like you haven't before
Waitin' for you to come out of your shelter
Wanting to hold you

Hangin' around again
waiting for you to see my light
You let me down again
Cause you make me dream of you all night
Hangin' around again
My broken love left in your hand
Hangin' around again
Hanging' around again....

Right Kind of Wrong - LeAnn Rimes

Well, he was more like, just plain old wrong, rather than the right kind of wrong....






Know all about
About your reputation
And how it's bound to be a heartbreak situation
But I can't help it if I'm helpless
Every time that I'm where you are

You walk in and my strength walks out the door
Say my name and I can't fight it anymore
Oh I know, I should go
But I need your touch just too damn much

Loving you
isn't really something I should do
Shouldn't wanna spend my time with you
I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong
baby you're the right kind of wrong

Might be a mistake
A mistake I'm making
But what you're giving I am happy to be taking
Cause no one's ever made me feelThe way I feel when
I'm in your arms

They say you're something I should do without
They don't know what goes on when the lights go out
There's no way to explain
All the pleasure is worth all the pain

Loving you
isn't really something I should do
Shouldn't wanna spend my time with you
Well, I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong
Yeah baby you're the right kind of wrong

I should try to run
But I just can't seem to
'Cause every time
I run you're the one I run to
Can't do without
what you do to me
I don't care if I'm in too deep

Know all about
About your reputation
And how its' bound to be a heartbreak situation
But I can't help it if I'm helpless
Every time that I'm where you are

You walk in and my strength walks out the door
Say my name and I can't fight it anymore
Oh I know, I should go
But I need your touch
just too damn much

Loving you
Isn't really something I should do
Shouldn't wanna spend myh time with you
Well I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong
Yeah baby you're the right kind of wrong

Man of Golden Words - Mother Love Bone

This song gives me chills every time I listen to it. Without Mother Love Bone, there would be no Pearl Jam.

Wanna show you something
Like the joy inside my heart
Seems I've been living in
The Temple of the Dog

Where would I live
If I were a man of golden words
Or would I live
At all

Words and music
My only tools
Communication

And on her arrival I will set free the birds
It's a pretty time of year
When the mountains sing out loud

Tell me Mr. Golden Words
How's about the world
Tell me can you tell me
At all

Words and music
My only tools
Communication

Let's fall
In love with music
The driving force
Of our living

The only
International language
Devine glory
The expression

The knees bow
The tongue confesses

The lord of lords
The king of kings
The king of kings, oh yeah

Words and music
My only tools
Communication
Words and music
Oh yeah, yeah
Communication

Drifting - Pearl Jam

Oh Eddie, why is it you always know how I feel?





Drifting, drifting, drifting away
I got myself a mansion
Then I gave it away
It's not the world that's heavy
Just the things that you save
And I'm drifting, drifting away

Drifting, drifting, drifting along
I rid myself of worries
And my worries were gone
I only run when I want to
And I sleep like a dog
And I'm drifting, drifting along

The suitcoats say, "There is money to be made."
They get so excited, nothing gets in their way
My road it may be lonely
Just because it's not paved
It's good for drifting, drifting away

Drifting, drifting, drifting, uh huh
I feel like going back there
But never for long
Sometimes wonder if they know that I'm gone
And I'm drifting, drifting along

Drifting, drifting along
Drifting, drifting along

After All These Years - silverchair

One more for good measure. I can so relate to this song, especially the last part





Breathe in the night
That crushed a tired sunrise
Born again the day
Brings young naivete

A laptop souvenir
Is worth it's weight in
Silver and golden sun
You'll be home again
And I'll be home again

Mend in my sleep
I'm boxing under water
Waddle on the wake
Waking on the summer day
A summer day

After all these years
Forget about the troubled times
After all these years
Forget about the troubled times

Every father's pain
Casts a shadow over a broken son
You'll be whole again
And I'll be whole again

Inefficient
Artless anesthetic
Playing like a scared
enthusiastic pawn

After all these years
Forget about the troubled times
After all these years
Forget about the troubled times
the troubled times

All these years
I was hurting to feel
Something more than life

After all these years
Forget about the troubled times
After all these years
Forget about the troubled times
After all these years
Forget about the troubled times
the troubled times

All these years
I was hurting to feel
Something more than life

Without You - silverchair

This is an incredible song from an incredible album, Diorama. Everyone should hear this album at least once in their life; it's indescribably beautiful. Daniel Johns is a musical genius, in every sense of the word.








Miles away
There's hopeless smiles brighter than mine
And I need for you to come and go
Without the truth falling out

Old incisions
Refusing to stay
Like sun through the trees
On a cloudy day

You brighten my life
Like a polystyrene hat
But it melts in the sun
Like a life without love
But I've waited for you so
I'll keep holding on
Without you

Telephone
Socially scared and impaired
If the trees will bloom
The wind can blow
Without the fruit falling out

Old incisions
Refusing to stay
Like sun through the trees
On a cloudy day

You brighten my life
Like a polystyrene hat
But it melts in the sun
Like a life without love
But I've waited for you so
I'll keep holding on
Without you
Without you

Feels like the wind blows
Holding you with us
She takes no other
False light and ashes
Blooming like winter

You brighten my life
Like a polystyrene hat
But it melts in the sun
Like a life without love
But I've waited for you so
I'll keep holding on
Without you
Without you
Without you

Downfall - Matchbox Twenty

God I love this song. It's best to listen with your eyes closed.....









Wonder how you sleep
I wonder what you think of me
If I could go back
Would you have ever been with me

I want you to be unused
I want you to remember
I want you to believe in me
I want you on my side

Come on and lay it down
I’ve always been with you
Here and now
Give all that’s within you
Be my savior
And I’ll be your downfall

Here we go again
Ashamed of being broken in
We’re getting off track
I wanna get you back again

I want you to trouble me
I wanted you to linger
I want you to agree with me
I want so much so bad

Come on and lay it down
I’ve always been with you
Here and now
Give all that’s within you
Be my savior
And I’ll be your downfall
Yeah, be my savior

only love can save us now
don’t lay me down
only love can save us now
I’ll be your downfall
ah, love can save us now
don’t save me now

Lay it down
I’ve always been with you
Hear me now
With all that’s within you
Be my savior
And I’ll be your downfall

Now I’m back on my own
Hear my feet, they’re made of stone
Man, I make you go where I go
Well hell, you, can I take you home
Well, I’m coming home on my back
Kissing me, your lips painted black

Saying
Let me be your downfall
Let me be your downfall, baby

Hold On - Pearl Jam

Eddie Vedder is a lyrical genius, and this is one example of his genius...














I was drawn
Riding atop a black horse
Whatever prize there was
Could only observe

Where the trouble starts
Where does it end?
How can I be cured
How, before it ends
I know... life would be different if I... held on
Held on
I know... I could be something if I... held on

Gave her life away
Put it in my pocket
When it should have been framed
Oh, I lost it's shine
Gotta get this outta my head
Out of my heed

How could it end
End like this
How could it end

I know, life would be different had I... held on
Held on
I know, I could be something had I... held on
Held on.
I know, I could be something if I... held on
Held on
I know... life would be different if I... held on
Held on
Held on
Held on
If I...Held on
Held on

Everything - Lifehouse

Find me here
And speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you

You are the light
That's leading me
To the place
Where I find peace
Again

You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting

You are the light
Into my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything

How can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

You calm the storms
And you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall

You steal my heart
And you take my breath away
Would you take me in
Take me deeper now

How can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

Cause you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything
Everything

You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything
Everything

You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything
Everything

You're all I want
You're all I need
Everything
Everything

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

How can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be any better
Any better than this

Would you tell me
How could it be any better
Any better than this

Too Much of Not Enough - silverchair

Another brilliant Daniel Johns creation








She tripped on a hole
That I'd dug in the soil to be part
Of a human garden

And I couldn't stand
In the straight postured sun
But you stood in the mud
Which came unsoiled
When I came along
When I came along
When I came along

So you never stop needing
You never stop needing

A close look at someone so close
Too much of not enough
A close look at someone so close
Too much of not enough
When all we need is just a taste

I strap myself in for a safe saccaride
Before it started I tried
To be anything I saw fit
And it all seemed to fit

But you came undone
When I came along
When I came along
When I came along

So you never stop needing
You never stop needing
A close look at someone so close
Too much of not enough
A close look at someone so close
Too much of not enough
When all we need is just a taste

Blind white lies and shallow truth
Broken strings and stolen youth
I've seen too much of not enough

You came much closer than they had before
You came much closer than they had before
You came much closer than they had before
You came much closer than they had before

You never stop needing
You never stop needing
You never stop needing
And it's good for nothing
