Song lyrics here

~Song name, Band/ artist

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

~Yellow, Coldplay

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

I came across, a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me.
Is this the place, we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
~Somewhere Only We Know, Keane

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

Me too!!! It's meh fave <33

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

Under it all, you're not so tough.
Everyone, everyone, just wants to fall in love.
~Weapons, The Daylights

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

I
Am thinking it's a
Sign
That the freckles on our
Eyes are mirror images
And when we Kiss
They're perfectly alligned
I
Have to speculate
That god himself did
Make us into corresponding
shapes like puzzle pieces.

~The Postal Service, Such Great Heights

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

Love that song!

[Emma]

Take my photo off the wall if it won't sing for you

-No Idea

Really

?!?!?!?!?! SERIOUSLY EMMA???? Ohmygosh, best song ever. That's from the band "Jet", dumb dumb!

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

To walk within the lines, would make my life so boring.
I want to know that I have been, to the extremes.
~Anything but Ordinary, Avril Lavigne

Seven devils all around you,
Seven devils in my house,
See they were there when I woke up this morning,
I'll be dead before the day is done.
- Florence and the Machine, Seven Devils

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

Am I a part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease?
~Clocks, Colplay

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

There's one thing you should know;
there's always two ways out.
~Two Ways Out, Still Darker My Love

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

What have you got to lose but false intentions,
and a life so pretentious?
~Sorry You're Not a Winner, Enter Shakari

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

So we sing a lullaby to the lonely hearts tonight
Let it set your heart on fire, let it set you free
When you're fighting to believe, in a love that you can't see
Just know there is a purpose, for those who wait
~For Those Who Wait, Fireflight


Am I a part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease?
~Clocks, Colplay


There's one thing you should know;
there's always two ways out.
~Two Ways Out, Still Darker My Love


What have you got to lose but false intentions,
and a life so pretentious?
~Sorry You're Not a Winner, Enter Shakari


My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you
~All Around Me, Flyleaf


Read between the lines
"What's fucked up?" and "Everything's alright"
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone.
~Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Green day


These street lights
They shine bright
As they illuminate the darkness of the pavement
They shine
As we try to write in on her arms
The love she longs to taste
And we'll find that inside
That she's a broken heart that anyone could save.
~To Write Love On Her Arms, Helio

All my life I've been good but now
Ooohhh
I'm thinking "What the hell? "
All I want is to mess around, and I don't really care about
If you love me, if you hate me
You can't save me, baby, baby
All my life I've been good but now whoa "What the hell? "
What The Hell by Avril Lavigne

It feels like nothing really matters anymore
When you're gone, I can't breathe
And I know you never meant to make me feel this way
This can't be happening.
Everybody Hurts by Avril Lavigne

She never slows down.
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down
Stand In The Rain by Superchick

You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
Mean by Taylor Swift

I've got a stack of papers so high
And it's all about you baby
Keep thinking maybe I
Can make sense of something crazy
Something I can't get out of my Head
I write your name I write your name
Then I tear it all to shreds

I can't wait for the day I stop pretending
That I'm really ok when I'm not
I want to know how it feels to be
Over you for real
Until I do
I'll keep writing songs about you
Writing Songs About You by Taylor Swift

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

"Stab my back,
It’s better when I bleed for you.
Walk on me,
There never was enough to do."

I can’t get past her,
Falling faster,
It's true.
It’s better when I bleed for you.
~Stab My Back, The All-American Rejects

[Emma]

Know you're not the only ship out on the ocean
Leave you strength for things that you can change
Forgive the one's you can't
You gotta let it 'em go

~Let It Go, Zac Brown Band

[KissMeTwice]

You don't know what you need
We're all so back and forth
Nothing is as it seems
You don't know what you need
We make the same mistakes
We've ruined everything
~Born to Lose, The Devil Wears Prada

Not a very LALALA song, just one that's stuck in my head.

[KissMeTwice]

I cannot forgive
and I cannot forget
I refuse to relive
but I do not regret

Yes, it took lots of pain
to see all the signs
but at first, it must rain
before the sun shines

~Ballad of a Raingirl (song), by Natalie Violet and Riley Autumn

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

So gather 'round piggies and kiss this goodbye
I'd encourage your smiles I'll expect you won't cry.
~The End, My Chemical Romance

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

there's nothing wrong with me
This how how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make believe, you don't believe in me.
~Jesus of Suburbia, Green day

Good is better than perfect... Scrubbed 'till your fingers are bleeding...
-Regina Spektor

[Sarah]

'And I need you like a heartbeat,
But I know you got a mean streak...
Makes me run for cover when you're around..'
Tell Me Why - Taylor Swift

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be
It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me
You say it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down

Maroon five, payphone

Do you ever sit and wonder its so strange
We could be together for so long
and never know
never care
what goes on in the other one's head?
Things I thought but I never said.

~Ben Folds, You don't know me

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired, and I
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone

Don't try to wake me in the morning,
'cause I will be gone

Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will be so glad to go.

Asleep, The Smiths (and the cover by Emily Browning"

What's that you're saying there?
Oh well.
Rain rushing window pane.
Oh well.

Old Piano, Frou Frou

There's a girl
who sits under the bleachers
Just another day eating alone

Though she smiles
there is something she's hiding
and she can't find away to relate

She'll just go unnoticed
as the crowd passes by
and she'll pretend to be busy
when she just wants to cry

Miss Invisible, Marie Digby

They're gonna clean up your looks
with all the lies in the books
to make a citizen out of you

because they sleep with a gun
and keep an eye on you, son
so they can watch all the things you do

because the drugs never work
they're gonna give you a smirk
but they got methods of keeping you clean

they're gonna rip of your heads
your aspirations to shreds
another cog in the murder machine

Teenagers, My Chemichal Romance


Phew! Just thought I'd throw a few out there I have sooo many, this isn't even denting the surface of memorized lyrics

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt
turn it inside out
find nothin' but faith in nothing

Wanna put my tender
heart in a blender
watch it spin around in a beautiful oblivion

Rendevous, and I'm through with you

Inside Out, Eve 6

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

I'm in a junkyard full of false stars
and I don't need your permission
To bury my love under this bare lightbulb

the moon is a sickle cell
I'll kill you in time
Your cold white brother alive in your blood
Like spun glass in your sore eye

While the moon does its division
your buried below
And it's coming up roses everywhere
You've gone red roses
fall in love

Coming Up Roses, Elliot Smith

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

Rise up this morning
Smiled at the rising sun
Three little birds
PItch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
of melodies pure and true
saying:
This is a message to you

Don't worry
About a thing
'Cause every little thing
Is going to be alright

If you don't know who sings this, you're dead to me.

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun

-We Are Young, Fun.

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

I found varity
On Nolan's Avenue
Down where the air is sweet
As L.A. skies are blue
The water tried to break it down
But it held through
It gave a little for the sake of staying true

We cut ties
We tell lies
We hate change
and we wanna claim where we feel.

Waking Up, OneRepublic

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

I know you think that
I shouldn't still love you
Or tell you that

But If I didn't say it
I'd still have felt it.
Where the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

But I will go down with this ship
and I won't put my hands up
and surrender.
There will be no white flag upon my door

I'm in love
and always will be.

White Flag, dido

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

Some of my all time favourite lyrics right here:

Last week I had the strangest dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where there was never any mystery of who shot John F. Kennedy
It was just a man with something to prove
Slightly bored and severely confused
He steadied his rifle with his target in the center
And became famous on that day in November

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in

Again last night I had that strange dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where concerns about the world getting warmer
The people thought they were just being rewarded
For treating others as they'd like to be treated
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases
For mailing letters with the address of the sender
Now we can swim any day in November

Sleeping In, Postal Service

My parents used to sing this to me when I was little, and it would always get me to stop crying! I love this song, because even to this day, when I hear it, I automatically become calmer.

My hands are searching for you

I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you

~ All Around Me, Flyleaf

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

Think of me when you're out
When you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
And when the world treats you way too fairly
Well it's a shame I'm a dream



I could follow you to the beginning
Just to relive the start
Maybe then we'd remember to slow down
At all of our favorite parts


~ All I wanted, Paramore

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand

Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

~ All These Things That I've Done, The Killers

[[deleted user]]

I scraped my knees while I was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven
Seems like it's getting harder to believe in anything
Than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts

I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in the pride
To see nothing in the light
But turn it off in all my spite, in all my spite
I'll turn it off

And the worst part is, before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
Then in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom

Turn It Off by Paramore

Just when you suspect that life couldn't get no harder, something comes
Along and makes your dark day darker
The weight of it all falls on you
Who will be the one to listen when it's time to listen?
Who will be the one to miss you when you've gone missing?
Well, I do.
Do I qualify, qualify, qualify, qualify, qualify?

Who's Thinking About You Now?

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

And believe me, Natalie
Listen Natalie
This is your last chance

There is an old cliche
Under your Monet, baby
Remember the arch of roses
Right above your couch
Forget what they said in Soho
Leave the oh-no's out

~ Believe Me Natalie, The Killers

There’s not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There’s not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past
Shatter every window till it’s all blown away,
(blown away)
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
(blown away)
Till there’s nothing left standing,
Nothing left to yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away.

Blown Away by Carrie Underwood

I'm a co-lyricist for my school band (we have multiple school bands) and a singer, here are some lyrics I wrote:

Whispers and Words,
Power and Lies,
Erupt in my brain...
Telling me lies.

You're wearing the key to my heart right now,
You take it and break it, you don't care how,
But it hurts..me. Yes it hurts, me.

What do you guys think?

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

In December
Drinking horchata
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
Winter's cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals

Horchata, Vampire Weekend

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

It moves fast like it is whiplash
Everybody run and get a season pass
Think you understand it but you come up last
Should've just passed
Now you're standing in a big disaster

I'm here to let you know
Don't trust what you think you know
Don't follow that yellow-brick road
When your brain says stop but your heart says go

I'll do my best
Don't get upset
Sometimes my brain says no
But my heart says yes

Turn it on like electric volts
Get your heart pumping like it was techno
Should've checked yes but you just checked no
Me shootin' from the get-go
But it's crazy when it gets so automatic super-static
Just go when you know, you know

My Brain Says Stop but My Heart Says Go, FM Static

[rollyflan, Oh dear.]

Another day another waiting game
A little different but it's still the same
I am here but where's the one I'm longing for?

I'm having troubles feeling all alone
Will my heart ever find a home?
I want to hope but sometimes I just don't know
I know I'm not the only one



When you're fighting to believe
In a love that you can't see
Just know there is a purpose
For those who wait

~ For Those Who Wait, Fireflight

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

Nothing feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos
Takin' them off 'cause I feel a fool
Try'na dress up when I'm not with you

I'mma step out of this lingerie
Curl up in bed with something Hanes

In bed I lay
With nothing but your T-shirt on....

With nothing but your T-shirt on..

T-shirt, Shontelle

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when It comes to love
I did... I did

and you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
I did

And now when all is done there is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead and tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now

Tell them i was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be

Impossible

Impossible, Shontelle
