Tested and True-Secondhand Serenade

Superstitions aren't meant for lovers

Under covers, undiscovered is your skin

I am lonely, please let me in

You're probably wondering what I was proving

Are you choosing?

Am I losing you tonight?

Is it over, over?

Are we fading?

I never wanted anything the way that I want you

But my words don't seem to matter

My words don't seem to matter

And you look at me and I can see

The lies you're running to

But my words don't seem to matter

I'd rather have you tested and true

Now you've had your chance

So let's try my way, it's my day

To show you what you're missing, turn around

And feel the winds of change upon your face again

The warm breath of your closest friend

I'm waiting, I'm waiting

Are we fading?

I never wanted anything the way that I want you

But my words don't seem to matter

My words don't seem to matter

And you look at me and I can see

The lies you're running to

But my words don't seem to matter

I'd rather have you tested and true

I'm scared we'll fall apart tonight

Under the moonlight

Under the moonlight

I'm scared we'll never make it right

Under the moonlight

Under the moonlight

Take my hand and hold it tight

I never wanted anything the way that I want you

but my words don't seem to matter

My words don't seem to matter

And you look at me and I can see

The lies you're running to

But my words don't seem to matter

I'd rather have you tested and true

(Are we fading out?)

Bright Eyes-No Lies, Just Love

It's in the march of the winter I turned seventeen

That I bought those pills

I thought I would need

And I wrote a letter to my family

Said it's not your fault

And you've been good to me

Just lately I've been feeling

Like I don't belong

Like the ground's not mine

To walk upon

And I've heard that music

Echo through the house

Where my grandmother drank

By herself

And I sat watching a flower

As it was withering

I was embarrassed by its honesty

So I'd prefer to be remembered as a smiling face

Not this fucking wreck

That's taken its place

So please forgive what I have done

No you can't stay mad at the setting sun

Cause  we al get tired, I mean eventually

There is nothing left to do but sleep

But spring came bearing sunlight

Those persuasive rays

So I gave myself a few more days

My salvation it came, quite suddenly 

When Justin spoke very plainly

He said, "Of course it's your decision,

But just so you know,

If you decide to leave,

Soon I will follow."

I wrote this for a baby,

Who has yet to be born,

My brother's first child, 

I hope that womb's not too warm

Cause it's cold out here

And it will be quite a shock, 

To breathe this air,

To discover loss

So I'd like to make some changes,

Before you arrive,

So when your new eyes meet mine,

They won't see no lies, 

Just love,

Just love

I will be pure, 

No, no, I will be pure

Like snow,

Like gold,

Like snow, 

Like gold,

Like snow,

Like snow,

Like gold,

Like gold,

Like gold...

You're a world class SOB.

A complete mess of a person, if you could call you human.

You gouged out my heart with a melon scooper.

You took it along for the ride.

You wrapped my breath around your pinky finger.

If you had said jump, that's what I would have done.

You are an ass.

A mistake.

Absolutely the dumbest genius I have ever met.

I won't understand, you're right.

No one will.

Shutting people out is how you roll.

It doesn't matter how others feel to you... not at all.

Self-centered.

Egotistical.

Consumed by yourself, but I was consumed by you.

I wish I could hate you, but all I can do is love you without a thing in return.

The Spill Canvas-One Thing Is For Sure

There are things in this world
That I don't understand
Like love, war, gravity
Or the lay of the land
But all of these, remain mysteries
One thing is for sure
You are worth living for.

Sometimes when I'm far away from you
I get a little lost, a little out of my element
I miss the way your body burns
When we melt alone.

There are things in this world
That I don't understand
Like love, war, gravity
Or the lay of the land
But all of these, remain mysteries
One thing is for sure
You are worth living for.

Sometimes when I let my mind run free
It never fails and it goes right to you
And a smile takes a hold of me
I've missed the way your body burns
When we melt alone.

There are things in this world
That I don't understand
Like love, war, gravity
Or the lay of the land
But all of these, remain mysteries
One thing is for sure
You are worth living for.

I feel as if I've turned into more than just someone who believes in love. I fell in and out of it, yet again, and this time, my hurt is something not yet comprehendable. It's as if I got so used to being around; so used to sitting, waiting, wishing, that I can't feel anymore. I can't possibly describe to you the logic of what I have done to myself... my heart. It quite possibly left the day my mind did; packed up and walked away, just as he did. I don't quite know if knowing someone can't love you as much as you love them should hurt this much. It shouldn't feel this way. It was all over long before those words were said. I assume my disbelief is what slowly began to creep away the night he said those four words. It would be nice to have a release; not one comes to mind, because it all has a consequence. You would think the right thing would feel better than this.

Wild Is The Wind-Cat Power

Love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind

You touch me,
I hear the sound of mandolins, baby,
You kiss me,
With your kiss, my life begins

Like a leaf clings to a tree
Baby, please cling to me
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind

You touch me,
I hear the sound of mandolins,
and you kiss me,
With your kiss my life begins

Love me, love me, say you do,
Let me fly away with you

It's with a heavy heart that I take on the world today
You have a way about you that I can't quite feel
Holding my breath at arms length,
you continuously intertwine my fragile being
around your fingers
I've played all my cards, games over now
Throw at me what you may;
the hurricane you say lies ahead
I'm here for the long run;
I will stay to weather this storm
No one fills the air around me like you do
The light you continuously exude,
even through the darkness that blinds you
It binds me to you, strangely,
in an endless symphony of notes and emotions,
sprawled onto paper like a sea of ants,
unsure of which way is up
I can't seem to cry over you,
so I cry for you,
in front of you.
