The End- Jason Reeves

This bottle took us to a time
when passion for each other filled our hearts
I remember the early hours of a morning long ago
when I found myself standing on your doorstep
wiping away tears and anxiously waiting
my heart was beating way too loudly for me to listen to any type of message it was sending.

It would take me 267 miles to reach you right now.
If I showed up tonight, wiping away more tears
would you greet me as you did before?
I hope not.
I hope you look at me like I’m crazy and tell me to turn right around.
According to others, it might be the smartest decision you’ll ever make.
We’ll just be another mystery of life we aren’t supposed to understand.

The Promise- Tracy Chapman

Your finger tips press against my skin
just hard enough for my mind to take this a different direction.
This horrible decision was worth making because of that response.
Timing can be so cruel
if I could have cut that moment out and pasted it years before
I’d be shedding more smiles than tears.

Almost Lover- A Fine Frenzy

I would have told her to stop
if she made the move, she never made

but not right away, I would have let our lips touch just long enough
for it to be called anything but a decent kiss

and when she would ask why
in a seductive –I don’t want to stop- kind of way
I would have told her…
it’s just another memory to think of
on the lonely highways back home
and we’ve made enough of those
so lets leave well enough alone..

I Cant Take It- Tegan and Sara

 This is about the time

I slam on the breaks

And put this heart in reverse.

But the rhythm is off anyway

So I’ll ignore it and set the cruise

what’s a few more empty miles

Open Your Eyes

I’m just the thrill of the chase

and you’re just the thrill of a kiss

so take your lost self and get far, far away

away from my head.. away from my heart

run as fast as you can.. before I catch up

…out of breath and wordless yet again

Cheated hearts- yeah yeah yeahs

I miss falling asleep on your chest
I miss calling you mine- I used to take such pride in it
I miss feeling secure in a relationship
…a relationship that was anything but secure

she changed my life
I changed hers
and I probably didn’t even alter yours.

Save You- Simple Plan

The sound of her voice changed as she spoke that two syllable word
All I could do was shake my head.
You see, my heart isn’t ready to let her go
I’m not ready to face struggles in life without her
She can’t walk with you just yet- I’m still needing that hand.
So give me a turn, let it pour on me for awhile
She’s been through enough already.

And Then You- Greg Laswell

Stop making my heart beat so fast

 …And can you tell me to breathe?

 I seem to forget that simple task when I’m around you

 Maybe you could even back up a little

Just enough to stop my lips from reaching yours

As long as we’re at it, stop looking into my eyes

Because that’s the worst fall of all…

Last Request- Paolo Nutini

So we’ll drink, playing it off as a typical Friday night out

We’ll throw back a few more than usual, hoping it lasts long into the night.

Our nervous bodies will soon dissipate

As I kiss everywhere but your lips

Trying not to smile as they make their way down your body

I’ll wait on your sighs to tell me its okay

To take this further

There won’t be any sleeping tonight

This has been years in the making.

We’ll pick up the pieces in the morning

Or maybe we’ll just leave them on the sheets

That way, we don’t have to make sense of this.

I’m tired of your fake lines

I dont need to know how good my skin feels against yours

I’m tired of your new outlook on life

It’s beyond hypocritical

Your eyes seemed so cold and empty as you spoke of my faults.

But your words didnt hurt as much as the look in your eye

You banned me from leaving my scent on your sheets

So i left my tears on your pillow

and with memories i’d rather forget…
