if you love me, don't let go

hold, hold on

hold on to me;

cos i'm a little unsteady

a little

unsteady

do whatever just to stay alive

There's a rhythm in rush these days

Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade

Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams

In a world gone shallow

In a world gone lean

Sometimes there's things a man cannot know

Gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow

There's no place to run and no gasoline

Engine won't turn

And the train won't leave

Engines won't turn and the train won't leave

I will stay with you tonight

Hold you close 'til the morning light

In the morning watch a new day rise

We'll do whatever just to stay alive

We'll do whatever just to stay alive

Well the way I feel is the way I write

It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies

There is a truth and it's on our side

Dawn is coming

Open your eyes

Look into the sun as the new days rise

And I will wait for you tonight

You're here forever and you're by my side

I've been waiting all my life

To feel your heart as it's keeping time

We'll do whatever just to stay alive

But there is a truth and it's on our side

Dawn is coming open your eyes

Look into the sun as a new days rise

Little Talks- Of Monsters and Men

I don't like walking around this old and empty house.

So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear

The stairs creak as I sleep, 

it's keeping me awake

It's the house telling you to close your eyes

Some days I can't even dress myself.

It's killing me to see you this way.

'Cause though the truth may vary

this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.

There's an old voice in my head 

that's holding me back

Well tell her that I miss our little talks.

Soon it will all be over, buried with our past

We used to play outside when we were young

and full of life and full of love.

Some days I feel like I'm wrong when I am right.

Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear.

You're gone, gone, gone away, 

I watched you disappear.

All that's left is a ghost of you.

Now we're torn, torn, torn apart, 

there's nothing we can do,

Just let me go, we'll meet again soon.

Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around

I'll see you when I fall asleep.

Don't listen to a word I say

The screams all sound the same.

Though the truth may vary

this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

you see the light that I can’t see

Oh baby, my baby,

You’ve held me

through many broken hearts

And maybe, just maybe

You can fix all my broken parts

And you took me by surprise

When you took my hand

And you with your dark brown eyes

You see the light that I can’t see

You see the light in me.

river
joni mitchell

it's coming on Christmas
they're cutting down trees
they're putting up reindeer
and singing songs of joy and peace
oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

i'm so hard to handle
i'm selfish and I'm sad

the madness i make
noughts and exes

you and I we’re the same dear, both alike in our pain here
as to who takes the blame we fight
lightning strikes the same place here, tired of living the same shit
though the cover looks great, it’s not.

find me love

this is falling apart we seem to tear at the heart here
why is something I’d die for killing me
keep your chin up it’s ok, people say just be happy
how can love find a way when I’m way off

find me love, hide me love

and the call of my name in the darkness where I hide away
cries aloud begs me near, lulling me from the madness I make
Where the warmth of my woes keeps me company as they corrode
I’m, in time, torn asunder, left to gather myself and repose
All the lines that I’ve flavoured with my fiction have me now entwined
And the depths that I sank to, didn’t seem very deep at the time
Now my lack becomes clearer in the light of the love that draws near
I am my own deceiver, sick of all of the shit that I’m in

save me love

and the call of my name in the darkness where I hide away
cries aloud begs me near, lulling me from the madness I make

the madness i make
noughts and exes

you and I we’re the same dear, both alike in our pain here
as to who takes the blame we fight
lightning strikes the same place here, tired of living the same shit
though the cover looks great, it’s not.

find me love

this is falling apart we seem to tear at the heart here
why is something I’d die for killing me
keep your chin up it’s ok, people say just be happy
how can love find a way when I’m way off

find me love, hide me love

and the call of my name in the darkness where I hide away
cries aloud begs me near, lulling me from the madness I make
Where the warmth of my woes keeps me company as they corrode
I’m, in time, torn asunder, left to gather myself and repose
All the lines that I’ve flavoured with my fiction have me now entwined
And the depths that I sank to, didn’t seem very deep at the time
Now my lack becomes clearer in the light of the love that draws near
I am my own deceiver, sick of all of the shit that I’m in

save me love

and the call of my name in the darkness where I hide away
cries aloud begs me near, lulling me from the madness I make

save tonight
we'll fight the break of dawn
come tomorrow


before we know it I'll be gone.

iridescent
linkin park

when you were standing in the wake of devastation
when you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
with the cataclysm raining down, insides crying save me now
you were there and possibly alone.

and in the burst of light that blinded every angel
as if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
you felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty space
no one there to catch you in their arms

do you feel cold and lost in desperation
you build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go, let it go.

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love
They keep me breathless
I can’t help feeling

We could have had it all.

once i loved
damien rice

once i loved
and i gave so much love to this love
It was the world to me

once i cried
at the thought i was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye

then one day
from my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again
now, now i know
that no matter whatever befalls
i’ll never let you go
i will hold you close, night and day
because love is the saddest thing when it goes away

We fake the thoughts, and fracture the times
We go blind when we’ve needed to see
And it leans on me
Like a rootless tree

Your Protector- Fleet Foxes

As you lay to die beside me, baby
I’m the one in the shootin’ game
Would you wait for me,
the other one,
would you wait for me?

the last time he saw dorie
copeland

he's in love with tragedy
he's in love with tragedy
she was a wreck but he loved her
she was a wreck but so was he

live live live, live because you
love love love, and love will make you
give give give, and give in until you
break break break, but you just want to
fix yourself just to break again

a case of you
joni mitchell

just before our love got lost you said
“i am as constant as a northern star”
and i said “constantly in the darkness"

fields of gold
eva cassidy

you'll remember me when the west wind moves
upon the fields of barley
you'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
as we walk in the fields of gold

so she took her love
for to gaze awhile
upon the fields of barley
in his arms she fell as her hair came down
among the fields of gold

will you stay with me, will you be my love
among the fields of barley
we'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
as we lie in the fields of gold

see the west wind move like a lover so
upon the fields of barley
feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
among the fields of gold
i never made promises lightly
and there have been some that i've broken
but i swear in the days still left
we'll walk in the fields of gold

many years have passed since those summer days
among the fields of barley
see the children run as the sun goes down
among the fields of gold
you'll remember me when the west wind moves
upon the fields of barley
you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
when we walked in the fields of gold

fast car
tracy chapman

i remember we were driving driving in your car
the speed so fast i felt like i was drunk
city lights lay out before us
and your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
and i had a feeling that i belonged
and i had a feeling i could be someone, be someone, be someone

undisclosed desire
muse

i know you've suffered
but I don't want you to hide.
it's cold and loveless
i won't let you be denied

soothing
i'll make you feel pure
trust me
you can be sure

i want to reconcile the violence in your heart
i want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
i want to exorcise the demons from your past
i want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

you trick your lovers
that you're wicked and divine
you may be a sinner
but your innocence is mine

please me, show me how it's done
tease me, you are the one

so go on and sleep darling why don't you pretend we were just a dream
