    "Black"


    Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
    Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
    All five horizons revolved around her soul
    As the earth to the sun
    Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
    Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
    Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
    And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
    Of what was everything
    All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

    I take a walk outside
    I'm surrounded by some kids at play
    I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
    Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
    I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
    How quick the sun can, drop away
    And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
    Of what was everything
    All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
    All the love gone bad turned my world to black
    Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be...yeah...

    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
    In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
    Can't it be, can't it be mine




    Pearl Jam
    "Other Side"


    It's not the same without you up here
    Can't find my wheels
    Your absence is what breeds this fear
    Warm breath and all it steals
    You can't know how it feels to be in here
    All the dark horse fields, befriendin' me

    Playin' ain't the same without you here
    We've come to hate the golden rule
    Cannot seem to make the dots connect
    The morning light don't show you near
    You can't know what it's like to bleed from here
    The blackened world grows white, it goes nowhere

    Death ain't the same without you, dear
    I make the others run and hide
    New York streets seem to make it worse
    All this noise inside the quiet
    I can't hold on, the weight you bear
    My body's broken fast, please lift me up
    You can't know what it's like to be inside
    The fading melodies can't beat my need

    I'm not the same without you here
    How can i quit to be there
    Sit and stare
    Stare..
    Begging for a prayer




    Pearl Jam
    "Sad"


    All the photographs were peeling
    And colors turned to gray
    He stayed... in his room with memories for days
    He faced... an undertow of futures laid to waste
    Embraced... by the loss of one he could not replace

    There is no reason that she passed
    And there is no god with a plan
    It's sad... and his loneliness is proof
    It's sad... he could only love you
    It's sad

    The door swings to a passing fable
    A fate we may delay
    We say... holding on...delivered in our embrace
    He let ‘em as he laid in bed
    Hoping that dreams would bring her back
    It's sad... and his loneliness is proof
    It's sad... he could only love you
    It's sad

    Holding his last breath
    Believing... he'll make his way
    But she's not forgotten
    He's haunted...he's searching for escape

    If just one wish could bring her back
    It's sad... and his loneliness is proof
    It's sad... he will always love you
    It's sad




    Eddie Vedder
    "No Ceiling"


    Comes the morning
    When I can feel
    That there's nothing left to be concealed
    Moving on a scene surreal
    No, my heart will never
    Will never be far from here

    Sure as I am breathing
    Sure as I'm sad
    I'll keep this wisdom in my flesh
    I leave here believing more than I had
    And there's a reason I'll be
    A reason I'll be back

    As I walk
    The hemisphere
    I got my wish
    To up and disappear

    I been wounded
    I been healed
    Now for landing I been
    For landing I been cleared

    Sure as I'm breathing
    Sure as I'm sad
    I'll keep this wisdom
    In my flesh

    I leave here believing
    More than I had
    This Love has got
    No Ceiling

    "I'll Be Lightning"


    Hey, next week
    Pushing things with feet
    One shoe on
    Someone's vicious love
    Make me writhe around
    All I need is one
    All I need is one

    Blue and green
    Colours of the in between
    Tell, tell me
    Focus on the things we need
    Someone's vicious love
    Make me writhe around
    All I need is one
    All I need is one

    I'll be lightning you'll be lightning
    I'll be lightning you'll be lightning
    I'll be lightning you'll be lightning
    I'll be lightning you'll be lightning
    I'll be lightning you'll be lightning
    I'll be lightning you'll be lightning
    I'll be lightning you'll be lightning
    I'll be lightning you'll be lightning
    Love make me writhe around
    All I need is one
    All I need is one




    Liam Finn
    "Second Chance"


    Sew the seeds
    Sew the seeds to life by packing up to make it right
    And all I need
    All I need to know
    Are you too proud to let it go?

    Remember me
    Well honestly I don't remember who you are

    So it seems
    And so it seems tonight, you've got that wild look in your eye
    What do you need
    What do you need to prove?
    The woman that you turn into

    Remember me
    Well honestly I don't remember who you are
    The memory has never been the best, you want a second chance

    You stand around your haunted home
    Those demons won't leave you alone
    Don't forget me when you grow old

    Remember me
    Well honestly I don't remember who you are

    Remember me
    Well honestly i don't remember who you are
    The memory has never been the best, you want a second chance

    You stand around your haunted home
    Those demons won't leave you alone
    Don't forget me when you grow old

    Rememember remember




    Liam Finn
    "Lead Balloon"


    It's a sad day when it comes to this
    But a free man is a happier man
    Walk home and reminisce
    You were the highlight of the party
    Wooowoowowowowoo
    My head feels like a lead balloon
    I've got little to no memory
    I blame myself and so do you in the wee hours of the morning

    Stuck in traffic
    Lost in Memories
    Of when we were naked and in love
    Take no prisoners
    Leave no traces
    One day we'll be laughing loudly
    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

    Mad man with a nervous twitch you'll find love in a cemetery
    Young girl enormous soul with a heart full of her family
    Stumbled on something gold using IQ as a metaphor
    Dab hand at a million things but you know what you're good for

    Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
    I know what I'm looking for
    I know what I'm looking for

    "In My Bed"
    Amy Winehouse


    Wish I could say it breaks my heart
    Like you did in the beginning
    Its not that we grew apart 
    A nightingale no longer singing

    It's something I know you can't do
    Separate sex with emotion
    I sleep alone, the sun comes up
    You're still clinging to that notion

    Everything is slowing down
    River of no return
    Recognize my every sound
    There's nothing new to learn

    You'll never get my mind right
    Like two ships passing in the night
    In the night, in the night
    Want the same thing when we lay
    Otherwise mine's a different way 
    It's a different way from where I'm going 

    Oh, it's you again
    Listen, this isn't a reunion
    So sorry if I turn my head
    Yours is a familliar face
    But that don't make your place safe
    In my bed, my bed, my bed

    I never thought my memory
    Of what we had could be intruded
    But I couldn't let it be
    I needed it as much as you did

    Now it's not hard to understand
    Why we just speak at night
    The only time I hold your hand
    Is to get the angle right

    Everything is slowing down
    River of no return
    You recognize my every sound
    There's nothing new to learn

    You'll never get my mind right
    Like two ships passing in the night
    In the night, in the night
    Want the same thing when we lay
    Otherwise mine's a different way 
    It's a different way from where I'm going

    Oh, it's you again
    Listen, this isn't a reunion
    So sorry if I turn my head 
    Yours is a familliar face
    But that don't make your place safe
    In my bed, my bed, my ba ba dee dee bed

     
    "Take the Box"
    Amy Winehouse
     

    Your neighbors were screaming
    I don't have a key for downstairs
    So I punched all the buzzers
    Hoping you wouldn't be there

    And now my head's hurting
    You say I always get my own way
    But you were in the shower when I got there
    And I'd have wanted to stay, but I got nothing to say

    You were so beautiful before today
    And then I heard what you say, man that was ugly

    The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
    (Put it in the box, put it in the box)
    Frank's in there and I don't care
    (Put it in the box, put it in the box)
    Just take it, take the box
    Take the box

    I came home this evening
    And nothing felt like how it should be
    I feel like writing you a letter
    But that's not me, you know me

    Feel so fucking angry
    Don't wanna be reminded of you
    But when I left my shit in your kitchen
    I said goodbye to your bedroom
    It smelled of you

    Mr. False Pretense, you don't make sense
    I just don't know you
    But you make me cry, where's my kiss goodbye?
    I think I love you

    The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
    (Put it in the box, put it in the box)
    Frank's in there and I don't care
    (Put it in the box, put it in the box)

    Now take it, take the box
    Just take it, take it
    Take the box
    And now just take the box
    Take the box
    Take the box

    "Chelsea Hotel #2"
    Leonard Cohen covered by Rufus Wainwright

    I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
    you were talking so brave and so sweet,
    giving me head on the unmade bed,
    while the limousines wait in the street.
    Those were the reasons and that was New York,
    we were running for the money and the flesh.
    And that was called love for the workers in song
    probably still is for those of them left.
    Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
    you just turned your back on the crowd.
    You got away, I never once heard you say,
    I need you, I don't need you,
    I need you, I don't need you
    and all of that jiving around.

    I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
    you were famous, your heart was a legend.
    You told me again you preferred handsome men,
    but for me you would make an exception.
    And clenching your fist for the ones like us
    who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
    you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
    we are ugly but we have the music."
    And then you got away, didn't you babe... 
    you just turned your back on the crowd.
    You got away, I never once heard you say,
    I need you, I don't need you,
    I need you, I don't need you
    and all of that jiving around.

    I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
    You can't keep track of each fallen robin.
    I remember you well at the Chelsea Hotel.
    That's all- I don't even think of you that often.

    "All My Little Words"
    Magnetic Fields

    You are a splendid butterfly
    It is your wings that makes you beautiful
    And I could make you fly away
    But I could never make you stay
    You said you were in love with me
    Both of us know that that's impossible
    And I could make you rue the day
    But I could never make you stay

    Not for all the tea in China
    Not if I could sing like a bird
    Not for all North Carolina
    Not for all my little words
    Not if I could write for you
    The sweetest song you ever heard
    It doesn't matter what I do
    Not for all my little words

    Now that you've made me want to die
    You tell me that you're unboyfriendable
    And I could make you pay and pay
    But I could never make you stay




    "I Don't Want to Get Over You"
    Magnetic Fields

    I don't want to get over you
    I guess I could take a sleeping pill
    And sleep at will
    And not have to go through what I go through
    I guess I should take Prozac, right
    And just smile all night at somebody new...
    Somebody not too bright, but sweet and kind
    Who would try to get you off my mind
    I could leave this agony behind
    Which is just what I'd do if I wanted to
    But I don't want to get over you

    Cause I don't want to get over love
    I could listen to my therapist
    Pretend you don't exist
    And not have to dream of what I dream of
    I could listen to all my friends
    And go out again and pretend it's enough...
    Or I could make a career of being blue
    I could dress in black and read Camus
    Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
    Like I was 17, that would be a scream
    But I don't want to get over you




    "I Don't Really Love You Anymore"
    Magnetic Fields

    True, I'd give my right arm
    To keep you safe from harm
    And true, for you, I'd move to Ecuador
    And I'd keep a little farm
    Chop wood to keep you warm
    But I don't really love you anymore

    I don't have to love you now if I don't wish to
    I won't see you anyhow if that's an issue
    Because I am a gentleman
    Think of me as just your fan
    Who remembers every dress you ever wore
    Just the bad comedian
    Your new boyfriend's better than
    Cause I don't really love you anymore

    There'll be someday when your eyes do not enthrall me
    I'll be numb but realize you'll never call me

    Cause I've read your horoscope
    And now I've given up all hope
    So I don't really love you anymore
    Cause I've read your horoscope
    And now I've given up all hope
    So I don't really love you anymore

    "Map of the Problematique"
    Muse


    Fear and panic in the air
    I want to be free
    From desolation and despair
    And I feel like everything I sow
    Is being swept away
    Well I refuse to let you go

    I can't get it right
    Get it right
    Since I met you

    Loneliness be over
    When will this loneliness be over

    Life will flash before my eyes
    So scattered and lost
    I want to touch the other side
    And no one
    Thinks they are to blame
    Why can't we see
    That when we bleed we bleed the same

    I can't get it right
    Get it right
    Since I met you

    Loneliness be over
    When will this loneliness be over
    Loneliness be over
    When will this loneliness be over

    "A Lack of Color"
    Death Cab for Cutie


    And when I see you
    I really see you upside down
    But my brain knows better
    It picks you up and turns you around
    Turns you around, turns you around

    If you feel discouraged
    That there's a lack of color here
    Please don't worry lover
    It's really bursting at the seams
    Absorbing everything
    The spectrum's A to Z

    This is fact not fiction
    For the first time in years
    All the girls in every girlie magazine
    Can't make me feel any less alone
    I'm reaching for the phone

    To call at 7:03... on your machine I slur a plea for you to come home
    But I know it's too late
    I should have given you a reason to stay
    Given you a reason to stay
    Given you a reason to stay
    Given you a reason to stay

    This is fact not fiction
    For the first time in years

    "February Stars"
    Foo Fighters

    hanging on
    here until I'm gone
    right where I belong
    just hanging on

    even though
    watched you come and go
    how was I to know
    you'd steal the show

    one day i'll have enough to gamble
    ill wait to hear your final call
    bet it all

    hanging on
    here until I'm gone
    right where I belong
    just hanging on

    even though
    i pass this time alone
    somewhere so unknown
    it heals the soul

    you ask for walls I build them higher
    we'll lie in shadows of them all
    I'd stand but they're much too tall
    and I fall

    february stars
    floating in the dark
    temporary scars
    february stars

    "High and Low"
    Greg Laswell


    I'm going to see some friends from out of state
    The very trip you were supposed to take
    A while ago
    But it fell through
    Like all of you
    Like all of you

    Thought I'd make the drive
    But a free plane ride is in the air
    And just like that my fear of it disappeared
    Like all of you
    Like all of you

    And I look high and low for yesterday
    High and low for you and I
    High and low

    Once I can see straight I might move
    Somewhere cold
    Seattle or the Bay area; to see your ghost
    What's left of you
    What's left of you

    And I look high and low for yesterday
    High and low for you and I
    High and low

    Found a letter from a man I might have met
    Addressed to you
    And I'll steal the words he ended with:
    I miss you
    And I do
    Miss you
    And I do

    High and low for yesterday
    High and low for you and I
    High and low
