[1] The Only Exception | Paramore Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts. And we’ve got to find other ways to make it alone, or keep a straight face. And I’ve always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance. And up until now I’ve sworn to myself that I’m content with loneliness. Because none of it was ever worth the risk. Well, you are the only exception.
[2] Glitter In The Air | P!nk Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone? You’re whole life, waiting on the ring to prove you’re not alone. Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry? Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?
[3] Bridge Burning | Foo Fighters These are my famous last words. My number’s up, bridges well-burned. Why won’t you let me disobey? It’s getting kinda late, but I don’t wanna wait no more. Oh, may I have this dance of days? Locked in your embrace, passed your test of faith. // Down crooked stairs and sideways glances comes the king of second chances. Now, throw him in the flame.
[4] Never Say Never | The Fray You can never say never, while we don’t know when. Time, time, time again. Younger now than we were before. // We’re pulling apart and coming together again and again. We’re growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again. Don’t let me go.
[5] Everlasting Friend | Blue October A heartbeat skip relationship inside a bubble bath. An icing drip below your lip, so we undo the math. A sudden slip between my pathetic sedatives. A real-life script of how mistakes became our medicine. // I just want to know that you’ll be coming home. I might crumble, I might take a fall again. But you’re my everlasting friend.
[6] Nothing Left To Lose | Mat Kearney So I packed my car and I headed east, where I felt your fire and a sweet release. There’s a fire in these hills that’s coming down, and I don’t know much, but I found you here. // Come on and we’ll try, one last time. I’m off the floor one more time to find you. And here we go there’s nothing left to choose. And here we go there’s nothing left to lose.
[7] Voodoo | Adam Lambert I was looking for love all over. You’re the hunter and I’m your prey. Now I’m lost in a love hangover. I try to leave but I have to stay, ‘cause it’s voodoo. // I just gotta say I want your hex. I don’t want to live without your hex. I’m so obsessed with your sexiness.
[8] Push | Matchbox Twenty She said, I don’t know if I’ve ever been good enough. I’m a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in. And I don’t know if I’ve ever been really loved by a hand that’s touched me. Well, I feel like something’s gonna give. And I’m a little bit angry. Well, this ain’t over, no not here, not while I still need you around. You don’t owe me. We might change. Yeah, we just might feel good. I wanna push you around, well I will, I will. I wanna push you down, well I will, I will. I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted.
[9] Blame It On Me | Barenaked Ladies Here we are again and we’re looking at each other as if each other were to blame. You think you’re so smart, but I’ve seen you naked. And I’ll probably see you naked again. // Yes dear I love you, but sometimes I think that love’s not enough for you. So you want to play mind games, well that’s fine, go ahead, la la la I can’t hear you. // If all else fails you can blame it on me.
[10] Only Fooling Myself | Kate Voegele It’s like a splash of water to my face when I suddenly realize that you could never find a place for me in your eyes. And I don’t know why I keep thinking, one day I’ll turn around and see your hand reach out. I’m only fooling myself. But maybe when you smile it means you’d stay a while. Just maybe, you’d save me, now.
[11] Not The Doctor | Alanis Morissette I don’t want to be the sweeper of the egg shells that you walk upon. And I don’t want to be your other half, when I believe that one plus one makes two. // I don’t want to be the glue that holds your pieces together. I don’t want to be your idol. See, this pedestal is high and I’m afraid of heights. // Visiting hours are nine to five and if I show up at ten past six, well I already know that you’d find some way to sneak me in. And oh, mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom. You see, it’s too much to ask for and I am not the doctor.
[12] Angry All The Time | Tim McGraw Here we are, what is left of a husband and a wife who have a way of getting on with their lives. // The reasons that I can’t stay don’t have a thing to do with being in love. And I understand that lovin a man shouldn’t have to be this rough. You ain’t the only one who feels like this world left you far behind. I don’t know why you gotta be angry all the time.
[13] How’s It Going To Be | Third Eye Blind Where we used to laugh, there’s a shouting match sharp as a thumbnail scratch, a silence I can’t ignore. // I wonder how it’s going to be when you don’t know me. How’s it going to be when you’re sure I’m not there. How’s it going to be when there’s no one there to talk to. Between you and me, I don’t care.
[14] First Love | Adele Forgive me first love, but I’m tired. I need to get away to feel again. Try to understand why. Don’t get so close to change my mind. Please wipe that look out of your eyes. It’s bribing me to doubt myself. Simply, it’s tiring.
[15] A Little Too Much | Natasha Bedingfield Sometimes it hits like a car crash, and it’s to late to reverse. Sometimes you make me a better person, sometimes you bring out the worst. Sometimes we get on like fire, sometimes we’re stubborn like rain. Just when I think it’s over, you wave a white flag again. // Everybody hurts just a little too much. Everybody hurts, but it’s never enough. It’s wonderful to fall, let’s love and risk it all. I’d rather love just a little too much.
[16] Eet | Regina Spektor It’s like forgetting the words to your favorite song. You can’t believe it; you were always singing along. It was so easy and the words so sweet. You can’t remember; you try to feel the beat.
[17] Apology | Safetysuit It’s all my fault today, I’m sorry for the way I was to you. It’s all so wrong, you see, and I’m sorry for the words I say to you. But if you ask me I will go. Anything for you. But if you ask me I will go, cause baby I need you. // Whoa oh, I wanna be with you. I wanna see what you see in me. Oh, I want you to notice me cause I’m already lonely and I don’t know what to do.
[18] For The First Time | The Script She’s all laid up in bed with a broken heart, while I’m drinking jack all alone in my local bar. And we don’t know how we got in to this mad situation, only doing things out of frustration, trying to make it work but man these times are hard. // But we’re gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine, sit talking up all night, saying things we haven’t for a while. We’re smiling but we’re close tears. Even after all these years, we just now got the feeling that we’re meeting for the first time.
[19] Starlight | Muse My life, you electrify my life. Let’s conspire to ignite all the souls that would die just to feel alive. But I’ll never let you go, if you promise not to fade away. Never fade away. // Our hopes and expectations. Black holes and revelations. Hold you in my arms. I just wanted to hold you in my arms.
