"A Song to Sing" - Hanson

Sorry that the video is just photo clips, but it was the only album version of the song that I could find. I'm looking for something these days, and I'm just not finding it...




"A Song To Sing"

Goodbye four leaf clovers
Hello gone awry
Don't cry the fight ain't over
Unless you let it pass you by

[chorus:]
I'm looking for a song to sing
I'm looking for a friend to borrow
I'm looking for my radio
So I might find a heart to follow
I've never been just
Longing for your lovin'
I've never been just
Wearin' down to nothin'
I've never been just
Looking for a reason
So that maybe you'd be thinkin' of me
Oh...
You'd be thinking of me

All that I have found in reason
Is reason just to not believe
When all that you are left is treason
It's treason just to let it be

I'm looking for a song to sing
I'm looking for a friend to borrow
I'm looking for my radio
So I might find a heart to follow
I've never been just
Longing for your lovin'
I've never been just
Wearin' down to nothin'
I've never been just
Looking for a reason
So maybe you'd be thinkin' of...

These blue yonder dreams
And second hand shoes
You're so far gone
That you live to lose
And it's too late to go home all alone
You're the tar in that old cigar
And the worn out cable on a cable car
And you're too tired to admit
You've got to choose

[chorus]

"The Season (Demo Version)" - Quietdrive

Yes, more Quietdrive. Shush, I really like them, and, well, their music captures what I'm feeling a lot of he time.




I'm feeling mixed up
A little bit confused about
The time I hit it up again
I'm feeling left out
A little bit concerned about
The space between last night and Monday

But I'm still afraid
That you haven't changed
(Given me a reason to pull off your t-shirt)
But I'm still ok
And I don't know why
(Tell me your secret)
(I won't tell your boyfriend now)
When you say that

Chorus:
You're mixing me up now
You're pulling my teeth out
You're wishing my argument away
I'll follow directions
I'll stick to your reasons
This isn't the season to go running away
Oh oh, oh oh. Oh oh, oh oh. Oh oh, oh oh.

I'll leave you untouched
I never once said
I would be the one to tie you down forever
I haven't missed you much
I never once said
I would be the one to lose this love forever

But I'm still afraid
That you haven't changed
(Given me a reason to pull off your t-shirt)
But I'm still ok
And I don't know why
(Tell me your secret)
(I won't tell your boyfriend, now)
When you say that
You don't need me to feel

Chorus

You don't understand
You don't
You don't understand
You don't
(I can't tell you how to feel)
You don't understand
(When I'm on the outside)
You don't
(And you're all in)
You don't understand

Chorus

Oh Oh

You don't understand
You don't
You don't understand
You don't
You don't understand
You don't
You don't understand

"Leaving Dramatics" - Quietdrive




It's been holidays since I've said how I feel
Until yesterday found my whole life was new
I can finally see that I love you that I miss you
That I need you certainly
But now my essence is spinning spinning away

Chorus:
And I can't keep chasing your memory
Around and around and around and around in my head
Waiting for you to make up your mind
I've felt this way before and
You seem like you know what you're doing to me
And you never could make the simple words feel right

My whole life around the way you give yourself
I've been safe and sound in my own selfish void
But I've finally found that I hate you I dispise you
Please don't give it away today
But now my essence is spinning spinning away

Chorus

And I'll take my time
Put your lips to mine
You'll never grow cold
From fear again
But you'll grieve the day
That I won't stay
And then you'll realize (Then you'll realize)
That what we had
Was exactly what you were looking for

Chorus

"A Praise Chorus" - Jimmy Eat World




Are you going to live your life wondering
Standing in the back, looking around?
Are you going to waste your time thinking
How you've grown up, how you missed out?
Things are never going be the way you want
Where's it going to get you acting serious?
Things are never going to be quite what you want
Even at twenty five you got to start sometime

I'm on my feet,
I'm on the floor,
I'm good to go
And all I need is just to hear a song I know
I Wanna always feel like part of this was mine
I Wanna fall in love tonight

Are you going to live your life standing in the back, looking around?
Are you going to waste your time?
Gotta make a move or you'll miss out
Someone's going to ask you what it's all about
Stick around nostalgia won't let you down
Someone's going to ask you what it's all about
What you going to have to say for yourself?

Crimson and clover over and over
Crimson and clover over and over

Our house in the middle of the street
Why did we ever meet?
Starting my rock'n'roll fantasy
Don't let's start
Why did we ever part?
Kick start my rock and rolling heart

I'm on my feet,
I'm on the floor,
I'm good to go,
So come on Davey, sing me something that I know
I Wanna always feel like part of this was mine
I Wanna fall in love tonight

"Fuckin' Perfect" - Pink

I don't like the sex scene at the start of the music video, but the song and the rest of the video are so awesome I'm posting it up anyway.




"Fuckin' Perfect"

Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
It didn't slow me down.
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look I'm still around

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me

You're so mean when you talk
About yourself. You were wrong.
Change the voices in your head
Make them like you instead.

So complicated,
Look happy, You'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I could think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same
(ohh ohhhhhhh)

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me

The whole world's scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line and we try try try but we try too hard
And it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that (why do I do that)?

Pretty, pretty, pretty

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing than you're fucking perfect to me
(you're perfect, you're perfect)
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me
