Waltz - Rachel Sermanni

May I have the pleasure of your hand to lead this dance?

Aware that you may tread upon my toes

In hopelessness I spin you

And suddenly I’m lost

Aware you tear the tethers of my skirt

She - dodie

And I’ll be okay admiring from afar

'Cause even when she’s next to me

We could not be more far apart

Fool - Cavetown

I am just a fool to keep on chasing after nothing great

You are just a fool to keep pretending that you’re loving me

I don’t know where I’m supposed to go

Foreigner’s God - Hozier

Her eyes look sharp and steady

Into the empty parts of me

Still my heart is heavy

With the hate of some other man’s beliefs

Hiding - Florence + The Machine

I know that you’re hiding

I know there’s a part of you that I just cannot reach

You don’t have to let me in

Just know that I’m still here

I’m ready for you whenever, whenever you need

Whenever you want to begin

Love Like You - Rebecca Sugar

When I see the way you look

Shaken by how long it took

I could do about anything

I cold even learn how to love like you

Alps - Novo Amor & Ed Tullett

And I saw the peaks on my own

That you probably meant for us

And I tore the fear from my bones

That you probably never lost

Absolutely Smitten - dodie

And it’s too late

She believes in fate

She’s absolutely smitten

And she’ll never let you go

Warmth - Bastille

Hold me in this wild, wild world

‘Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be

And in your heat I feel how cold it can get

Now draw me close...

[ryseling]

Cupid - Jack Stauber’s Micropop

Oh, euthanize my heartbeat

When I set more in the concrete

The deified love me

Saint Bernard - Lincoln

I said, “make me love myself, so that I might love you”

Don’t make me a liar, ‘cause I swear to God

When I said it, I thought it was true

The Medic - Foxing

She says, “You always smell like cigarettes

And there’s always whiskey on your breath,

But you’re the best that I can do

And I, I think I love you”

Full Circle - Movements

I’m tearing apart at the seams

Still trying to mend these holes in my jeans

Leaving my skin to stain as I bleed

Give up, disintegrate, secede

Gum - Moose Blood

I didn’t get much sleep last night

But that’s alright

It was worth it just to see you move that hair from your eyes

And smile like you do

Yeah, you are the reason I’m smiling

When there is nothing to smile about

One day, you will find someone

Who will love you like you deserve

all the lonely nights in your life - American Pleasure Club, Teen Suicide

Somebody loves you

It’s been that way for a year or two

I’d wait a lifetime

Just for a chance to call you mine

Just for a chance to make you mine

If you’re lucky a car might drive by

And the headlights fill your ceiling with shooting stars

Works of art

Waiting for your arms to part

And welcome in my beating heart

Take on Me - a-ha

Today’s another day to find you

Shying away

I’ll be coming for your love, okay?

[ryseling]

when the party’s over - Billie Eilish

Don’t you know too much already?

I’ll only hurt you if you let me

Call me “friend,” but keep me closer (call me back)

And I’ll call you when the party’s over

listen before i go - Billie Eilish

“Sorry” can’t save me now

Sorry, I don’t know how

Sorry, there’s no way out (sorry)

But down, hmm, down

When you try your best, but you don’t succeed

When you get what you want but not what you need

Stuck in reverse

An Act Of Kindness - Bastille

Kindness is what you showed to me

It holds me ‘til I ache

All of your flaws and all of my flaws

When they have been exhumed

Without them, we’d be doomed

Sunlight - Hozier

All that was shown to me, sunlight

Was something foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight

Oh, your love is sunlight

Through playful lips made of yarn, that fragile Capricorn

Unraveled words like moths upon old scarves

I know the world’s a broken bone

But melt your headaches, call it home

I will soften every edge

I’ll hold the world to its best

And I’ll do better

With every heartbeat I have left

I will defend your every breath

And I’ll do better

I’ll come back when you call me

Would you come here and spin with me?

I’ve been dying to get you dizzy

Find a way up into your head

So I can make you feel like new again

Nobody - Hozier

I’d be appalled if I saw you ever try to be a saint

I wouldn’t fall for someone I thought couldn’t misbehave

But I want you to know that I’ve had no love like your love

We could have less to worry about, honey, I won’t lie to you

But everything I do, I’ve had no love like your love

[ryseling]

What You Know - Two Door Cinema Club

And I can tell just what you want

Yeah, you’ve known it the whole time

Where it wasn’t supposed to be

Right in front of me

Your tears a sea for me to swim

A mighty ocean or a gentle kiss

I will love you with every single thing I have

Novels - Rusty Clanton

And when we sleep at night, I hope that we write novels in our heads

Of what to tell the other when we wake

And when morning comes before we’re done, with volumes left to choose

Let’s say “I love you”

Would That I - Hozier

So in awe, there I stood as you licked off the grain

Though I’ve handled the wood, I still worship the flame

As long as amber of ember glows

All the “would” that I’d loved is long ago

[ryseling]

And send it out tonight

So we can start again

come out and play - Billie Eilish

And I know it makes you nervous

Like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass

Like the bonfire that burns that all words in the fight fell to

I’m in love, I’m in love with you

From Eden - Hozier

Honey, you’re familiar like my mirror years ago

Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword

Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me, I should know

I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
