Fill my cup again
To the fucking rim As good as it gets: I want the sunshine, champagne all the time I'll live on Wine and Roses, so hold me closer If I don't break a sweat, It ain't as good as it gets. |

Every story, tale or memoir
Every saga or romance Whether true or fabricated Whether planned or happenstance Whether sweeping through the ages Casting centuries aside Or a hurried brief recital Just a thirty-minute ride Whether bright or melancholy Rough and ready, finely spun Whether with a thousand players Or a lonely cast of one Every story, new or ancient Bagatelle or work of art All are tales of human failing All are tales of love.

--Sara Bareilles' "Love Song"
Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while The breathing gets harder, even I know that You made room for me, but it's too soon to see If I'm happy in your hands I'm unusually hard to hold on to Blank stares at blank pages No easy way to say this You mean well, but you make this hard on me I'm not gonna write you a love song 'Cause you asked for it 'Cause you need one, you see I'm not gonna write you a love song 'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this If you're on your way I'm not gonna write you to stay If all you have is leaving I'mma need a better reason to write you a love song today

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing But I I love it when you read to me And you You can read me anything The book of love has music in it In fact that's where music comes from Some of it is just transcendental Some of it is just really dumb But I I love it when you sing to me And you You can sing me anything The book of love is long and boring And written very long ago It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes And things we're all too young to know But I I love it when you give me things And you You ought to give me wedding rings

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin’ for the phone ‘cause 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’ve 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 stop 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’ve lost all control And I need you now And I don’t know how I can do without I just need you now 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 And 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 |

Would you like the chance to shatter heaven?
Would you like to be the one who pulls the sky down just for me? Round and round and round we run, And pretend the sun is all you need I’ve never known a moment to be frozen You’re making deals with minutes that will slip away, just slip away So starve the garden, stop the rain- Winter settles on my petals anyway, anyways. Is your armor thin again Do I want to wear it down? Am I worthy to come in? Do you want to be found? Nothing into something into nothing Every rule you break means there’s no turning back, no looking back. The words that I could never say - The clutter that is in your way is nothing new. . .

Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue, Followed him up to the gates of Graceland Then I watched him walk right through. Now security, they did not see him; They just hovered 'round his tomb, But there's a pretty little thing Waiting for The King Down in the Jungle Room. . . Now Muriel plays piano Every Friday at The Hollywood And they brought me down to see her And they asked me if I would Do a little number. And I sang with all my might, And she said, "Tell me, are you a Christian, child?" And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight."

Come to me
Run to me Do and be done with me Cold Cold Cold Don't I exist for you Don't I still live for you Cold cold cold Everything I possess Given with tenderness Wrapped in a ribbon of glass Time it may take us but God only knows How I've paid for those things in the past Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath Cold is the color of crystal the snowlight That falls from the heavenly skies Catch me and let me dive under under For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes |

Late last night I missed my train, I walked back to the car and drove home again. Just outside of Pittsburgh, it's really not that far, Saw a light come shining across the reservoir. The sun in California, it drops right into the sea; I took a couple pictures, they don't mean that much to me. Just outside of Pittsburgh, I saw it from my car, The light shines to the bottom of the reservoir.

I'm still mad at you this morning Coffee's ready if you want some I've been up since 5 Thinking about me and you And I've got to tell you The conclusion I've come to. . . For now you might as well forget it Don't run your fingers through my hair Yeah that's right I'm being stubborn No I don't want to go back upstairs I'm going to leave for work Without a goodbye kiss But as I'm driving off Just remember this: I'll never leave, I'll never stray My love for you will never change But I ain't ready to make up or get around to that I think I'm right I think your wrong I'll probably give in before long Please don't make me smile I just want to be mad for a while

In our days we will live like our ghosts will live
pitching glass at the cornfield crows and folding clothes like stubborn boys across the road, we’ll keep everything Grandma’s gun and the black bear claw that took her dog And when sister Lowery says “Amen,” we won’t hear anything The ten-car train will take that word, that fledgling bird and the fallen house across the way, it’ll keep everything the baby’s breath, our bravery wasted and our shame And we’ll undress beside the ashes of the fire Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire All the more a pair of underwater pearls Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern In our days, we will say what our ghosts will say “We gave the world what it saw fit, and what’d we get?” Like stubborn boys with big green eyes, we’ll see everything in the timid shade of the autumn leaves and the buzzard’s wing Then we’ll undress beside the ashes of the fire Our tender bellies all wound around in baling wire All the more a pair of underwater pearls Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern -Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) "Resurrection Fern"

Every moment marked
with apparitions of your soul. I'm ever swiftly moving, trying to escape this desire, the yearning to be near you. I do what I have to do.

Oh there’s something ’bout a man in black
Makes me want to buy a cadillac Throw the top back And roll down to Jackson town I wanna be there on the stage with you You and I could be the next rage too Hear the crowd roar Make ‘em want more Kick the footlights out I wanna love like Johnny and June Rings of fire burnin’ with you I wanna walk the line Walk the line ‘Till the end of time I wanna love Love ya that much Cash it all in Give it all up When you’re gone I wanna go too Like Johnny and June I wanna hold you baby right or wrong Build a world around a country song Pray a sweet prayer Follow you there Down in history I wanna love like Johnny and June Rings of fire burnin’ with you I wanna walk the line Walk the line ‘Till the end of time I wanna love Love ya that much Cash it all in Give it all up When you’re gone I wanna go too Like Johnny and June Like Johnny and June More than life itself No-one else This endless promise They don’t make love like that anymore Is that too much to be askin’ for I wanna love like Johnny and June Rings of fire burnin’ with you I wanna walk the line Walk the line ‘Till the end of time I wanna love Love ya that much Cash it all in Give it all up When you’re gone I wanna go too Like Johnny and June And when we’re gone There’ll be no tears to cry Only memories of our lives They’ll remember, remember A love like that.

Its a grueling road to nowhere
Sneaking out the bedroom Sleeping in the basement God just get me somewhere Anywhere, any hole in the ground will work And who cares if it hurts Cause Ive been through worse I make the right mistakes AND I SAY WHAT I MEAN! Been years of desperation For a life long sentence Of repentance Anxiety Separation Pay attention to the wild combination Of education and desecration Youll know when it HITS. |

Hey woman, you got the blues, cos' you ain't got no one else to use.
There's an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles between here and there. There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in, You took my body and played to win, Ha Ha woman it's a crying shame, But you ain't got no one else to blame. ELO |
