Cinderella don’t go
Tight-lipped thoughts run through my head all this afternoon
Your calling me and telling me how I make you so blue
Conniption fit If the slipper don’t fit
Yeah she, She cut her wrist In the ball room
I’ll tell you one thing
I’m no prince charming
But if you just give me an hour
I can turn your heart around turn your heart around
Ill tell you one thing
Yeah your prince charming
Better kiss you before it’s midnight
I’m going to turn it all around turn it all around
1 secret 2 consider 3 wishes 4 you
I’d waste my time sit by your side and you had no clue
Behind your back Your Sisters laugh
The pumpkin patch that grew for you
I’ve been trying to find your glass slipper for days and days and days, days and days
Cinderella don’t go

Lyrics:
I can’t belive what you said to me
Last night we were alone
You threw your hands up
Baby you gave up, you gave up
I can’t believe how you looked at me
With your James Dean glossy eyes
In your tight jeans with your long hair
And your cigarette stained lies
Could we fix you if you broke?
And is your punch line just a joke?
I’ll never talk again
Oh boy you’ve left me speechless
You’ve left me speechless, so speechless
And I’ll never love again
Oh boy you’ve left me speechless
You’ve left me speechless, so speechless
I can’t believe how you slurred at me
With your half wired broken jaw
You popped my heart seams
On my bubble dreams, bubble dreams
I can’t believe how you looked at me
With your Johnnie Walker eyes
He’s gonna get you and after he’s through
There’s gonna be no love left to rye
And I know that it’s complicated
But I’m a loser in love
So baby raise a glass to mend
All the broken hearts
Of all my wrecked up friends
I’ll never talk again
Oh boy you’ve left me speechless
You’ve left me speechless, so speechless
And I’ll never love again
Oh friend you’ve left me speechless
You’ve left me speechless, so speechless
How?…
And after all the drinks and bars that we’ve been to
Would you give it all up?
Could I give it all up for you?
And after all the boys and girls that we’ve been through
Would you give it all up?
Could you give it all up?
If I promise, boy, to you
That I’ll never talk again
And I’ll never love again
I’ll never write a song
Won’t even sing along
I’ll never love again
So speechless
You left me speechless, so speechless
Will you ever talk again?
Oh boy, why you so speechless?
You’ve left me speechless, so speechless
Some men may follow me
But you choose “death and company”
Why you so speechless? Oh oh oh

Lyrics:
No where, yeah were going nowhere fast
Maybe this time I’ll be yours, you’ll be mine
C-c-c-crazy
Get your ass in my bed
Baby you’ll be
Just my summer boyfriend
Summerboy
Lets get lost you can take me home
Somewhere nice we can be alone
Bikini tops, coming oh, oh, off
Don’t be sad when the sun goes down
You’ll wake up and I’m not around
I’ve got to go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We’ll still have the summer after all
Sometimes, you might start a fight
But I’m happy pretending were alright
Sun glasses cover up my green eyes
My martini glistens, yeah
While checking out other guys
Summerboy
Let’s get lost you can take me home
Somewhere nice we can be alone
Bikini tops, coming oh, oh, off
Don’t be sad when the sun goes down
You’ll wake up and I’m not around
I’ve got to go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We’ll still have the summer after all
Hey there summerboy
Let’s go for a drive
Take me for a ride
Never gonna close our eyes
Hey there summerboy
I’m a busy girl
Don’t got too much time
Hurry up before I change my mind
Hey there summerboy
I’m taking off my heels
Let’s go for a run
Have a little summer fun
Have a little summer fun
Summerboy
Let’s get lost you can take me home
Somewhere nice we can be alone
Bikini tops, coming oh, oh, off
Don’t be sad when the sun goes down
You’ll wake up and I’m not around
I’ve got to go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We’ll still have the summer after…
Let’s get lost you can take me home
Somewhere nice we can be alone
I’ve got my summer, summerboy
Don’t be sad when the sun goes down
You’ll wake up and I’m not around
I’ve got my summer, summerboy
And we’ll still have the summer after all
I’ve got my, yes I’ve got my

Lyrics:
The things that you gave me, the bracelet I wore
Left a scar on my wrist, and my arms are still sore
From ripping your insides and tearing apart
Every single piece of your heart
And when I get done, there will be nothing left
Just a ghost and your bones, I still try to forget
But then I start drinking and shaking my hips
And, oh, I’m missing your lips
I said you need to come home, my skeleton
I’ll give you some skin to make you whole again
You need to come home, my skeleton
As sure as the wind, your bones come marching in
My skeleton…
If I could get you alone, alone and in love
Then I would take you to places you only dream of
I want to hear your heartbeat say
What you’ve dying and trying to say
And I’m in love with the sounds I’m making you sing
In the night when you come
Like I am conducting your body through notes you didn’t know you could hit
I’ll harmonize with it
I said you need to come home, my skeleton
I’ll give you some skin to make you whole again
You need to come home, my skeleton
As sure as the wind, your bones come marching in
My skeleton…
I’m crushing my heart into concrete
Graffiti up the sidewalks on your street
Yeah, its been how I’ve been
I said you need to come home, my skeleton
I’ll give you some skin to make you whole again
You need to come home, my skeleton
As sure as the wind, your bones come marching in
I said you need to come home, my skeleton
I’ll give you some skin to make you whole again
You need to come home, my skeleton
As sure as the wind, your bones come marching in
Album: The Earth Sings Mi Fa Mi
Artist: The Receiving End of Sirens
Song: Swallow People Whole
Ok, so I kinda suck at keeping up with the posting albums thing. But I’m just gonna post a bunch at a time until I think I’m caught up.
Went with the first track of the album because it seems to set the tone perfectly as far as meaning goes. And it’s powerful with being so simple, yet so complex! They do that well…
Went with the video because I’m too lazy to re-copy my copy of the album in Windows Media to get an MP3 version. Plus the video is pretty cool. (Not an actual video. I guess it was a contest submission?)
Enjoy!
Lyrics:
From the manger to the morgue
Strangers are born and reborn
Giving birth to the wages of sin
And claiming it came from within, within
Within me there’s a gaping hole
It seems I’m last to know
No one, or thing, can fill this empty space
That I’ve been pacing in
I fell in love with an empty place
But I want change
But I won’t change
I can’t feel a thing, I can’t feel a thing
The pins and needles sing, the pins and needles sing
I can say it
But it won’t mean a thing
Cause I know you’ll fall for
Each and every pretty word I sing, sing
I can say it
But it won’t mean a thing
Cause I know you’ll fall for
Each and every pretty word I sing, sing, sing…
Spirits spin me around once more
Sin if you sing the overture
That lulls me back to sleep,
I swear I’m yours to keep.
Consumed with consuming
Soon I’ll swallow people whole
I’ll have back what strangers stole
If I can’t find my happiness
I’ll soon devour yours
I’ll sing your weary head to rest
With my overture
Cause I fell in love with an empty place
But I want yours
But I want yours
I can say it
But it won’t mean a thing
Cause I know you’ll fall for
Each and every pretty word I sing, sing
I can say it
But it won’t mean a thing
Cause I know you’ll fall for
Each and every pretty word I sing, sing, sing…
For it I fell
For it I fell so fast
For it I fell
For it I fell so hard
For it I fell
For it I fell so fast
I fell for it, I fell for it
We lose ourselves once more
You could say it
But it won’t mean a thing
Cause you know I’ll fall for
Each and every pretty word you sing

Lyrics:
She smiled in a big way, the way a girl like that smiles
When the world is hers and she held your eyes
Out in the breezeway down by the shore in the lazy summer
And she pulled you in, and she bit your lip, and she made you hers
She looked deep into you as you lay together quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer
But you’ve already lost
When you only had barely enough to hang on
And she combed your hair, and she kissed your teeth
And she made you better than you’d been before
She told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer
And she told you, laughing down to her core, so she would not cry as she lay in your lap
She said “nobody here can live forever, quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer”
But you’ve already lost
When you only had barely enough to hang on
She said, “no one is alone the way you are alone”
And you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known
Some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to treasure
Days like that should last and last and last
But you’ve already lost
When you only had barely enough of her to hang on
Album: Dreaming Out Loud
Artist: OneRepublic
Song: All Fall Down
Whenever I need a pick-me-up or a way to release and find some positivity, I ALWAYS listen to OneRepublic, and it makes all the bad things go away =) I can’t count how many times this album and this song have helped me chill out and realize it’s not worth the stress.
Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Step out the door
And it feels like rain
That’s the sound
That’s the sound on your window pane
Take to the streets
But you can’t ignore
That’s the sound
That’s the sound you’re waiting for
If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That’s where you’ll find me
Yeah
God love your soul
And your aching bones
Take a breath
Take a step
Meet me down below
Everyone’s the same
Our fingers to our toes
We just can’t get it right
But we’re on the road
If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That’s where you’ll find me
Yeah
Lost till you’re found
Swim till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love till you hate
Strong till you break
Know that we all fall down
If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
If ever your world starts crashing down
That’s where you’ll find…
Find me
Lost till you’re found
Swim till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love till you hate
Strong till you break
Know that we all fall down
All fall down
We all fall down
All fall down
We all fall down
All fall down
All fall down
Lost till you’re found
Swim till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love till you hate
Strong till you break
Know that we all fall down
Album: A Dream Is A Question You Don’t Know How to Answer
Artist: Jonny Craig
Song: What I Would Give to Be Australian
Again Mr. Criag, I love love love your voice, but really hate your ego! In the words of my husband, “I’ve seen him live and he’s a complete asshole, but his voice is immaculate!!” ::sigh:: Maybe one day I’ll forfeit my pride and actually go see him with DGD (since I’m not a huge fan of Emarosa). I would love to hear it straight from the source…
Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Set it up, this is what I’m talking about,
Let me do my thing, here we go.
Waking up, I feel such a sense that my life has succumb to rely,
A cross between where I live my life and where I’m really at.
How do we get so close without us knowing where we would be?
And how do we get so old without us knowing we can’t get out?
Needle leads thread, I see no point in flying alone this time,
We have come for what we’re owed, I’m bleeding it dry.
How long have we both lived for the same style,
I would die for what I can do, I would die for what you can’t,
Why can’t we just believe in taking it so far,
That our feet don’t touch the ground?
How do we get so close without us knowing where we would be?
And how do we get so old without us knowing we can’t get out?
Needle leads thread, I see no point in flying alone this time,
We have come for what we’re owed, I’m bleeding it dry.
Can you feel how close we are? Reach out and grab it,
One of the shapes afraid of us, I’ll bury the past,
This mistake won’t be the end of us,
Stare into nothing, we are alive.
How do we get so close without us knowing where we would be?
And how do we get so old without us knowing we can’t get out?
Needle leads thread, I see no point in flying alone this time,
We have come for what we’re owed, I’m bleeding it dry.
Album: Downtown Battle Mountain
Artist: Dance Gavin Dance
Song: Lemon Meringue Tie
This song is awesome!! Even though I don’t like Jonny Craig as a person, I love his voice and I’m kinda stoked that he’s back with DGD. Although, I’m sure it’s not helping his ego issues by being in 2 bands and doing solo stuff. But whatever!
Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Caught between one thick line
I can never see in the dark
Can you see at all?
Can you see at all?
Can you see at all?
And now you go (Slip me the Vicodin)
This world is upside down
Night at the symphony
The bar is closing down (And now you go)
Slip me an antidote
Empty the cash box out…
And I don’t know why
I don’t know why
I don’t know why I fight for you this way
Fight for you this way
Fight for you this way
(Take the call and quickly lie about)
(Who you’ve been seeing lately)
(Then forget about it all)
Stage lights are burning on
Running faster to this spot
Staring at these faces
Torn from all these places
That I won’t go
Mace yourself, blame someone else
Fall face down, fluid leaking out your eyeballs
Mace yourself, blame someone else
It’s okay, no one will believe you
Mace yourself, blame someone else
Fall face down, fluid leaking out your eyeballs
Mace yourself, blame someone else
It’s okay, no one will believe you now
And I believed you’re not okay
And I won’t go far
And I believed you’re not okay
And I don’t know why
I don’t know why I fight for you this way
Fight for you this way
Fight for you this way
(Take the call and quickly lie about)
(Who you’ve been seeing lately)
(Then forget about it all)
Hey girl, you’re the best
I’m a sucker, maybe I should fuck her now
Album: Do Overs and Second Chances
Artist: Go Radio
Song: Goodnight Moon
Love it… Enough said <3 Where were songs like this when I was planning my wedding??
Enjoy!
Don’t go to bed yet, love
I think it’s too early
And we just need a little time to ourselves
If my wall clock tells me that it’s 4 in the morning, I’ll give it hell
Cause I’ve been trying way to long to try and be the perfect song
When our hearts are heavy burdens
We shouldn’t have to bare alone
So goodnight moon and goodnight you
When you’re all that I think about
All that I dream about
How’d I ever breathe without, a goodnight kiss from goodnight you
The kind of hope they all talk about
The kind of feeling we sing about
Sit in our bedroom and read aloud, like a passage from Goodnight Moon
And sing for me softly, love,
Your song for tomorrow
And tell me my name’s the one that’s hidden in there somewhere
And dream for me anything
But dream and in color about
We know the sun’s still rising and we don’t care
Cause I’ve been trying way too long to try and be the perfect song
When our hearts are heavy burdens
We shouldn’t have to bare alone
So goodnight you and goodnight moon
When you’re all that I think about
All that I dream about
How’d I ever breathe without, a goodnight kiss from goodnight you
The kind of hope they all talk about
The kind of feelings we sing about
Sit in our bedrooms and read aloud, like a passage from Goodnight Moon
From Goodnight Moon
And there you were, as I saw my Juliet
Come graceful down the stairs
It’s hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room
And steal the air
Just feel her lips lock on to every breath I take
And breathe it in
Do you feel us falling?
Cause I feel us falling
So goodnight moon and goodnight you
When you’re all that I think about
All that I dream about
How’d I ever breathe without, a goodnight kiss from goodnight you
The kind of hope they all talk about
The kind of feeling we sing about
Sit in our bedrooms and read out loud, like a passage from Goodnight Moon
Oh Goodnight Moon
And there you were,I saw my Juliet
Come graceful down the stairs
It’s hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room
And steal the air
Do you feel us falling? Cause I can feel us falling…

Lyrics:
No, I don’t wanna be in love anymore.
Cause I don’t wanna lose you
These memories used to mean,
Everything to me
But I can’t,
No, I don’t want to be in love anymore.
I can’t stop what
I can’t stop and I
I don’t want to be in love anymore.
You should know by now
You’re my heart, my soul,
You’re where I’ll start
And where I’ll go
Cause we’ve been through worse than this
Yeah, I’ll be gone for a minute,
But don’t forget…
All the Saturday nights,
Gathering inside the attic tight,
We didn’t know what we were doing,
But you said we’ll be alright.
Butterflies, my hands were shaking,
Better love the we were making,
Take a breathe, let it out,
Another night, another doubt.
These memories used to mean,
Everything to me,
But I can’t,
No, I don’t want to be in love anymore.
I can’t stop what I
Can’t stop and I,
I don’t want to be in love anymore.
We flip through pages of thought,
Second guess if what were doing’s
All worth doing or not.
Cause sometimes you gotta fight
For what you really believe,
But sometimes, you just let go
And don’t forget
To let your heart beat.
These memories used to mean,
Everything to me,
But I can’t,
No, I don’t want to be in love anymore.
I can’t stop what I
Can’t stop and I,
No I don’t want to be in love anymore
All those nights, on the phone
When you said boy I’m lonely, come over.
You taught me how to sweat,
Let the mic do the rest.
(when I wake up)
I wonder where our time went.
Believe me when I say,
Girl, this ain’t so easy for me.
We make sacrifices,
Do what we do, with
Hopes of something better.
And I don’t wanna lose you,
But girl I can’t let this go,and so…
These memories used to mean,
Everything to me,
But I can’t,
No, I don’t want to be in love anymore.
I can’t stop what I
Can’t stop and I,
I don’t want to be in love anymore
Tonight I’m chasing dreams,
And leave you chasing me,
If you’re not here
Then I don’t want to be in love anymore.
Tonight I’m leaving home,
And it hurts, but I know
We’re gonna make it, that’s why I say.
I don’t want to be in love anymore
