Somebody Save Me

Daily songs that remind me of Clark Kent (Superman) / Lex Luthor. Let's see how long I can keep up the "daily".

Mod Note

I’ve run out of songs for them so I’m taking a break. I don’t know when I’ll return but this is a note to say that this blog will be on a break/inactive for now.

Glowing - The Script

You knocked me sideways When you said that you were leaving. It knocked me over When you cried and told the truth. And it left me speechless The secrets you've been keeping You're running now, 'cause someone's chasing you

And you bought a ticket But you don't know where you're going And you won't tell me For fear I'll follow suit And you're tryin' to save me From your past of bad decisions But my decision's always gonna be To follow you (to follow you)

Never gonna stop 'til the clock stops tickin' Never gonna quit 'til my legs stop kickin' I will follow you and we'll both go missin' (yeah yeah) No I'm never givin' up 'til my heart stops beatin' Never lettin' go 'til my lungs stop breathing I will follow you and we'll both go missin' (yeah yeah)

No, I And we don't even know where we're going But I'm sitting with you and I'm glowing (ooh)

Doubt - Wye Oak 

If you should doubt My heart Remember this That I would lie to you If I believed it was Right to do

If you should think Instead I would forget All the lives I said Were not meant for me And meant for you

That would be the test I could not forgive Only that To doubt the only way That what was true before Is true today

What I have learned Of you Does not assure You bow before my will But I believed it then Believe it still Oh, I believed it then Believe it still

We Don’t Eat - James Vincent McMorrow

If this is redemption, why do I bother at all? There's nothing to mention, and nothing has changed Still I'd rather be working for something, than praying for the rain So I wander on, until someone else is saved

I moved to the coast, under a mountain Swam in the ocean, slept on my own At dawn I would watch the sun cut ribbons through the bay I'd remember all the things my mother wrote

That we don't eat until your father's at the table We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust Never once has any man I've met been able to love So if I were you, I'd have a little trust

Two thousand years, I've been in that water Two thousand years, sunk like a stone Desperately reaching for nets That the fishermen have thrown Trying to find, a little bit of hope

Me, I was holding all of my secrets soft and hid Pages were folded, then there was nothing at all So if in the future I might need myself a savior I'll remember what was written on that wall

That we don't eat until your father's at the table We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust Never once has any man I've met been able to love So if I were you, I'd have a little trust

Am I an honest man and true? Have I been good to you at all? Oh I'm so tired of playing these games We'd just be running down The same old lines, the same old stories of Breathless trains and, worn down glories Houses burning, worlds that turn on their own

So we don't eat until your father's at the table We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust Never once has any man I've met been able to love So if I were you my friend, I'd learn to have just a little bit of trust

Bullet Proof Love - Pierce the Veil 

I breathe you in with smoke in the backyard lights (backyard lights) We used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights (wasted nights) It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone (sleep alone) So don't, don't, don't wake me up, 'cause my thrill is gone (say I'm wrong)

In the sunset turning red behind the smoke, Forever and alone, yeah!

You've gone and sewn me to this bed, the taste of you and me (you and me) Will never leave my lips again under the blinding rain (blinding rain) I wanna hold your hand so tight I'm gonna break my wrist (break my wrist) And when the vultures sing tonight I'm gonna join right in.

I'll sing along, oh 'Cause I don't know any other song. I'll sing along, But I'm barely hanging on. No, I'm barely hanging on. By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone.

And now there's nothing to do but scream at the drunken moon.

This isn't fair! (No!) Don't you try to blame this on me. (Oh) My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me. And God damn it, I can barely say your name, So I'll try to write it and fill the pen with blood from the sink.

Bad Religion - Frank Ocean 

Taxi driver Be my shrink for the hour Leave the meter running It's rush hour So take the streets if you wanna Just outrun the demons, could you

He said "Allahu akbar" I told him, "Don't curse me" "Bo Bo, you need prayer" I guess it couldn't hurt me If it brings me to my knees It's a bad religion This unrequited love To me it's nothing but a one-man cult And cyanide in my styrofoam cup I can never make him love me Never make him love me Love me Taxi driver I swear I've got three lives Balanced on my head like steak knives I can't tell you the truth about my disguise I can't trust no one

Lies - Marina & the Diamonds

You're never gonna love me, so what's the use? What's the point in playing a game you're gonna lose? What's the point in saying you love me like a friend? What's the point in saying it's never gonna end?

You're too proud to say that you've made a mistake You're a coward 'til the end I don't wanna admit that we're not gonna fit No, I'm not the type that you like Why don't we just pretend?

Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know, oh I can't let you go, can't let you go, oh I just want it to be perfect To believe it's all been worth the fight Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know, oh

You only ever touch me in the dark Only if we're drinking, can you see my spark? And only in the evening could you give yourself to me Cause the night is your woman, and she'll set you free

You're too proud to say that you've made a mistake You're a coward 'til the end I don't wanna admit that we're not gonna fit No, I'm not the type that you like Why don't we just pretend?

Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know, oh I can't let you go, can't let you go, oh I just want it to be perfect To believe it's all been worth the fight Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know, oh

Your Body Is A Weapon - The Wombats

Sometimes I like to go uptown Where flashy people flash around It's extortionate and I don't care You can taste the pretence in the air And I wonder what you'll wear tonight The shiny black dress with the slit at the thigh? Is this such fantasy that I should think Someone like you could love a creep like me?

Your body is a weapon, love And it makes me wanna cry My body is a temple of doom Doomed not to be by your side I like my job when I do it well It's freelance work and it pays like hell But I can get us a place with one bedroom Who needs a friend when I've got you?

Your body is a weapon, love And it makes me wanna cry My body is a temple of doom Doomed not to be by your side

Someone protect me from the one I love Someone protect me from the one I love Someone protect me from the one I love Someone protect me from the one I, one I love

Change of Seasons - Sweet Thing

You want love but you fear it Your attention's been shifted You summed up the feeling With a simple dismissing

What you gonna do? Deceiving, It ain't you, believe it, Cause our love ain't easy It changes with seasons

Whoa, yeah Where we going I don't know So baby won't you let it go? (Baby won't you let it go?)

You sewed shut the curtains You closed out the light coming in, And all your friends you don't want near You don't want advice, advice to hear

'Cause inside you're working You're mending what's broken, 'Cause our love ain't easy It changes with seasons

Ohhhh yeah, where we going I don't know So baby won't you let it go? Ohhhh yeah, where we going I don't know Ohhhh so baby won't you let it go?

Where the Lonely Ones Roam - Digital Daggers

Won't you come out We could paint the town red Kill a little time You can sleep when you're dead Cause it isn't over yet Get it out of your head

Chase a couple hearts We could leave 'em in shreds Meet me in the gutter Make the devil your friend Just remember what I said Cause it isn't over yet Just remember what I said Cause it isn't over yet

Say you have a little faith in me Just close your eyes and let me lead Follow me home

Need to have a little trust in me Just close your eyes and let me lead Follow me home To where the lonely ones roam

Won't you come out I've been waiting for you Holding my breath Til my body turned blue We've got everything to lose Yeah I'm waiting on you

Sun's come up And there's no one else around Meet me in the shadows Won't you tell me what you found You've got everything to lose Yeah I'm waiting on you

Say you have a little faith in me Just close your eyes and let me lead Follow me home

Stranger Ways - Anberlin 

Locking eyes, the waning glance, mistook chance Of adding meaning to the words forever Broken silence, defiance, misspoke turn Will I see you again, if ever?

Come on and leave me here, I'm a vagabond though Wandering the night alone Right now you're over there in the social club state Pondering the why, why are we alone?

A little bit closer to finding the real you A little bit closer to finding the truth Stranger things have happened Stronger men have answered

A little bit closer to loving you

Yet defying I'm lying if I didn't tell you You keep me up late at night Is it alright if I call you "lover" even though we don't know each other? And probably never will

Would you stay with me, here in my dreams If I promised you this heaven? Would you take a chance on a make believe dance? Close my eyes and we're together

I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song) - Fall Our Boy

Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends" We're the kids who feel like dead ends And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses I took a shot and didn't even come close At trust and love and hope And the poets are just kids who didn't make it And never had it at all

And the record won't stop skipping And the lies just won't stop slipping And besides my reputation's on the line We can fake it for the airwaves Force our smiles, baby, half dead From comparing myself to everyone else around me

Please put the doctor on the phone cause I'm not making any sense Blame everyone but me for this mess And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart We never seemed so far I'm hopelessly hopeful, you're just hopeless enough But we never had it at all

Semi-Automatic - Twenty One Pilots 

Night falls with gravity, The earth turns from sanity, Taking my only friend I know, He leaves a lot, his name is "Hope".

I'm never what I like, I'm double sided, and I just can't hide, I kind of like it when I make you cry, 'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up inside.

The horrors of the night melt away, Under the warm glow of survival of the day, Then we move on, My shadow grows taller, along with my fears, And my frame shrinks smaller as night grows near.

When the sun is climbing window sills, And the silver lining rides the hills, I will be saved for one whole day, Until the sun makes the hills its grave.

I'm never what I like, I'm double sided, and I just can't hide, I kind of like it when I make you cry, 'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up inside.

Nicotine - Panic! At the Disco 

Cross my heart and hope to die Burn my lungs and curse my eyes I've lost control and I don't want it back

I'm going numb, I've been hijacked It's a fucking drag

I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do

Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine 

It's better to burn than to fade away It's better to leave than to be replaced I'm losing to you, baby, I'm no match

Give Me Strength - Snow Patrol 

I choked back tears today because I can’t begin to say how much you've shaped this boy, these last ten years or more.

My friends we've seen it all, triumphs to drunken falls and our bones are broken still, but our hearts are joined until, time slips its tired hand into our tired hands we've years 'til that day and so much more to say.

You give the strength to me, a strength I never had, I was a mess you see, I'd lost the plot so bad, you dragged me up and out, out of the darkest place, there's not a single doubt when I can see your faces.

My friends we've seen it all, when it made no sense at all, you dare to light my path and found the beauty in the aftermath.

Let me hold you up like you held me up, it's too long to never say this, you must know I've always thought,

You give the strength to me, a strength I never had, I was a mess you see, I'd lost the plot so bad, you dragged me up and out, out of the darkest place, there's not a single doubt when I can see your faces.

Fake Your Death - My Chemical Romance

Some people watch Some people pray But even lights can fade away. Some people hope Some people pay But why'd we have to stay? 'Cause even heroes Get the blues Or any misery you choose You like to watch We like to use And we were born to lose

I choose defeat I walk away And leave this place The same today Some like to sleep We like to play Just look at all that pain

You want the heart All to be saved But even good guys Still get paid So watch my back And keep the blade I think it got you laid

So fake your death Or it's your blame And leave the lights on When you stay Take off your clothes And dream that fame Come on and feel that shame

I choose defeat I walk away And leave this place The same today Some like to sleep We like to play Just look at all that pain

Little Bribes - Death Cab for Cutie

The Eiffel tower built to smaller scale The freshest oxygen I'd ever inhale I tapped a bottle against a safety rail, killing time

And you were like a walking compliment Tall in stature and exceptionally read In dummy glasses and a cardigan Oh, come on

And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers And the waitresses around

You said that all these things you've learned to ignore The hidden cameras on the casino floor And what gets paid for behind hotel doors Oh, come on

You pretend every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello The people stare into their eyes and they feed them little bribes and then they go

The never-ending twilight In a basement where the sun has never spilt You said that you were lonely And then we kissed like lonely people do

You said the city has a beating heart That pushes people down the boulevard And they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled In a desert for a dollar bill Those foolish dreams, you know they plague me still
