"29" by Gin Blossoms
Time won't stand by forever if I know it's true And I've learned not to say never Or else I'll seem the fool Twenty-nine you'd think I'd know better Living like a kid When my lies may seem less than clever Is when I fall for it Only time will tell if wishing wells Can bring us anything Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams Forgotten memories Some rides don't have much of a finish That's the ride I took Through good and bad and straight through indifference Without a second look There's no intentions worthy of mention If we never try So hang your hopes on rusted-out hinges Take 'em for a ride Only time will tell if wishing wells Can bring us anything Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams Forgotten memories Only time will tell...

I Don't Know You Anymore" By Savage Garden
I would like to visit you for a while Get away and out of this city Maybe I shouldn't have called but Someone had to be the first to break We can go sit on your back porch Relax Talk about anything It don't matter I'll be courageous if you can pretend That you've forgiven me
Because I don't know you anymore I don't recognise this place The picture frames have changed And so has your name We don't talk much anymore We keep running from the pain But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
Springtime in the city Always such a relief from winter freeze The snow was more lonely than cold if you know what I mean Everyone's got an agenda Don't stop keep that chin up you'll be alright Can you believe what a year it's been Are you still the same? Has your opinion changed?
Cause I don't know you anymore I don't recognise this place The picture frames have changed And so has your name We don't talk much anymore We keep running from the pain But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
I know I let you down Again and again I know I never really treated you right I've paid the price I'm still paying for it every day
So maybe I shouldn't have called Was it too soon to tell? Oh what the hell It doesn't really matter How do you redefine something that never really had a name? Has your opinion changed?
Because I don't know you anymore I don't recognise this place The picture frames have changed And so has your name We don't talk much anymore We keep running from the pain But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
I see your face I see your face

"Two Beds and a Coffee Machine" By Savage Garden
And she takes another step Slowly she opens the door Check that he is sleeping Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor Been up half the night screaming now it's time to get away Pack up the kids in the car Another bruise to try and hide Another alibi to write
Another ditch in the road You keep moving Another stop sign You keep moving on And the years go by so fast Wonder how I ever made it through
And there are children to think of Baby's asleep in the backseat Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare But the mind is an amazing thing Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel Two beds and a coffee machine But there are groceries to buy And she knows she'll have to go home
Another ditch in the road You keep moving Another stop sign You keep moving on And the years go by so fast Wonder how I ever made it through
Another bruise to try and hide Another alibi to write Another lonely highway in the black of night But there's hope in the darkness You know you're going to make it
Another ditch in the road Keep moving Another stop sign You keep moving on And the years go by so fast Silent fortress built to last Wonder how I ever made it

"Big Machine" - Goo Goo Dolls Ecstacy is all you need Living in the big machine now Oh, you’re so vain Now your world is way too fast Nothin’s real and nothing lasts And I’m aware
I’m in love but you don’t care Turn your anger into lust I’m still here, but you don’t trust at all And I’ll be waiting
Love and sex and loneliness Take what’s yours and leave the rest So I’ll survive God, it’s good to be alive
[chorus] And I’m torn in pieces I’m lyin there waiting for My heart is reeling I’m blind and waiting for you
Silly love with all your sins Wait and stop and I begin And I’ll - I’ll be waitin’ Livin’ like a house on fire What you fear is your desire It’s hard to deal I still love the way you feel
Now this angry little girl Drownin in this petty world And I’m who you run to Swallow all your bitter pills That’s what makes you beautiful You’re all a lie I won’t leave what you ain’t got
[chorus]
I’m blind and waiting for you I’m blind and waiting for you
And I can’t believe it’s coming true God, it’s good to be alive I’m still here and waitin’ for you And I can’t believe it’s coming true I’m blind and waiting for you

"Swallowed In The Sea" by Coldplay
You cut me down a tree And brought it back to me And that's what made me see Where I was going wrong You put me on a shelf And kept me for yourself I can only blame myself You can only blame me
And I could write a song A hundred miles long Well, that's where I belong And you belong to me
And I could write it down Or spread it all around Get lost and then get found Or swallowed in the sea
You put me on a line And hung me out to dry And darling that's when I Decided to go to see you
You cut me down to size And opened up my eyes Made me realize What I could not see
And I could write a book The one they'll say that shook The world, and then it took It took it back from me
And I could write it down Or spread it all around Get lost and then get found And you'll come back to me Not swallowed in the sea
Ooh...
And I could write a song A hundred miles long Well, that's where I belong And you belong with me
The streets you're walking on A thousand houses long Well, that's where I belong And you belong with me
Oh what good is it to live With nothing left to give Forget but not forgive Not loving all you see
Oh the streets you're walking on A thousand houses long Well that's where I belong And you belong with me Not swallowed in the sea
You belong with me Not swallowed in the sea Yeah, you belong with me Not swallowed in the sea

"Life Is Sweet" by Natalie Merchant
It's a pity, it's a crying shame People hold you down again How painful it must be To bruise so easily inside It's a pity, it's a downright crime It happens all the time You want to stay little daddy's girl You want to hide from the vicious world outside Don't cry, you know the tears will do no good So dry your eyes Oh, your daddy, he's the iron man battleship wrecked on dry land Your mamma she's a bitter bride She'll never be satisfied, you know And that's not right. But don't cry, you know the tears will do no good So dry your eyes Oh, they told you life is hard misery from the start, it's dull, it's slow, it's painful But I tell you life is sweet In spite of the misery There's so much more, be grateful Well, who do you believe Who will you listen to Who will it be 'cause it's high time that you decide in your own mind I've tried to comfort you I've tried to tell you to be patient They are blind, and they can't see Fortune gonna come one day They're all gonna fade away Your daddy the war machine And your momma the long and suffering Prisoner of what she cannot see For they told you life is hard Misery from the start, It's dull, it's slow, it's painful But I tell you life is sweet In spite of the misery There's so much more, be grateful So, who will you believe Who will you listen to Who will it be 'cause it's high time that you decide It's time to make up your own your own state of mind Oh they told you life is long Be thankful when it's done Don't ask for more, be grateful But I tell you life is short Be thankful because Before you know it it will be over 'cause life is sweet, life is also very short life is sweet and life is also very short life is sweet

Linkin Park "Easier To Run"
It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see Wounds so deep they never show they never go away Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (If I could take all the shame to the grave I would) (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (I would take all my shame to the grave)
[Chorus] It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back And never moving forward so there'd never be a past
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (If I could take all the shame to the grave I would) (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (I would take all my shame to the grave)
Just washing it aside All of the helplessness inside Pretending I don't feel misplaced It's so much simpler than change
[Chorus] It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone
It's easier to run (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made) It's easier to go (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (I would take all my shame to the grave)

Trapt "Stand Up"
Why don't you let me be Leave me alone You start a fire inside that I could never control You wanna see a reaction
Come on and cut me down You've gone as far as I'll go Now you're crossing the line And I am letting you know Well here's your reaction
Stand up I have had enough Walk away before I finish what you started Face to face I will put you in your place End this game before I finish what you started Face to face everything will change
You planted the seed How my anger has grown Got an feeling inside that I can't seem to control You wanna see a reaction
Come on and cut me down You've gone as far as I'll go Now you're crossing the line and I am letting you know Well here's your reaction
Stand up I have had enough Walk away before I finish what you started Face to face I will put you in your place End this game before I finish what you started Face to face everything will change
Insult After insult [9x]
Stand up I have had enough Walk away before I finish what you started Face to face I will put you in your place End this game before I finish what you started Face to face everything will change
Walk away Everthing will change End this game You wanna see a reaction You wanna see a reaction Stand up

They painted up your secrets With the lies they told to you And the least they ever gave you Was the most you ever knew
And I wonder where these dreams go When the world gets in your way What's the point in all this screaming No one's listening anyway
Your voice is small and fading And you hide in here unknown And your mother loves your father 'Cause she's got nowhere to go
And she wonders where these dreams go 'Cause the world got in her way What's the point in ever trying Nothing's changing anyway
They press their lips against you And you love the lies they say And I tried so hard to reach you But you're falling anyway
And you know I see right through you When the world gets in your way What's the point in all this screamin' You're not listening anyway
