Love Story
Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello;

Little did I know
That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, 'Please, don't go.'"

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me; I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'"

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Romeo save me - they're tryin' to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a life story - baby just say "Yes.'"

Oh.

I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,

And I said,
"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in thy head? I don't know what to think-"

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet - you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

Oh, oh.

We were both young when I first saw you...

The Maine
"Girls Do What They Want"

She's 18 and a beauty queen (beauty queen)
She makes the boys feel so weak (so weak)
It's all for her, not at all
She'll pick you up just to watch you fall
It's her hands on my hips, I can't escape 'em
It's that mouth and those lips, try not to taste 'em

That's just the way things are, and the way they'll aways be

Girls do what they want
Whoa, whoa
Boys do what they can
Girls do what they want
Whoa, whoa
Boys do what they can

She's 18 and a beauty queen
She's figured out all the boys like me
Head to toe you know she's dressed to kill (dressed to kill)
And she could the way she's looking at me
It's her face and those eyes, I can't escape 'em
It's that mouth and those lies, try not to taste 'em

That's just the way things are, and the way they'll aways be

Girls do what they want
Whoa, whoa
Boys do what they can
Girls do what they want
Whoa, whoa
Boys do what they can

(That's just the way things are)

Because the boys are feeling jealous
And it just doesn't make any sense
Go on and tell 'em why the girls are into fellas
That toss 'em to the side in the end
And you know that all the
The boys are falling in love
With the girls who don't know what's up
I think we've all had enough of this now
These kids are talking 'bout love
We think we've all had enough
We've had enough of this now

Girls do what they want
Whoa, whoa
Boys do what they can
Girls do what they want
Whoa, whoa
Boys do what they can

Girls do what they want
Whoa, whoa
Boys do what they can
Girls do what they want
Whoa, whoa
Boys do what they can

The Remus Lupins - Looking For Trouble

I don’t care how much you write
I’m not going back to Privet Drive
Gonna spend the summer at the Burrow
With my girl

Then we’re going looking for trouble
We’re gonna finish this this time around
We’re going looking for trouble
We’re gonna finish this once and for all

Don’t go expecting answers
I’m taking Hedwig with me
And when they’re ready, Ron and Hermione

Then we’re going looking for trouble
Gonna finish this once and for all
We’re going looking for trouble
(Talking about You-Know-Who)
Gotta finish this this time around

Though before we had our reasons
This time is personal
You can pretend that you don’t care
But you know you cried

We’re going looking for trouble
We’re gonna finish this once and for all
We’re going looking for trouble
We gotta finish this this time around

Do you have any leads on where the Horcruxes are?
‘Cause I don’t have a clue
I don’t know who RAB is
…Do you? Do you?

We’re going looking for trouble
We gotta finish this this time around
We’re going looking for trouble
We’re gonna finish this once and for all
We’re going looking for trouble
We gotta finish this this time around
We’re going looking for trouble
We’re gonna finish this once and for all

Counting down the hours - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
i have got this song in my head, and it won't go away!

nnocence it don't come easy, in a sense it never will
Accidents mean no one's guilty, ignorance means someone's killed
So I asked our Mr. Mellow how to get to where one's going
And he points to his survival, and he points me down the road

As I go on and on
Wondering if I've got a soul
Counting down the hours 'till it goes

On a dark wet night in April on a street in Jersey where
I went looking for some writing that I knew would not be there
And a punter from the Pelhams and the police in the rain,
Were concerned more with a car than with the fact the light had changed
But after listening all morning as I drove down 95
To a story of detainees who were barely kept alive
I could deal with trying to process pigeons acting like they're doves
But not with interference from the power lines above

As I go on and on
Wondering if I've got a soul
Counting down the hours 'till it goes

And oh precautions, yes precaution
But if you're playing with a gun, well you could kill someone
And in the dark it's hard to know a friend
But I'm not angry, I won't be forever angry

As I'm walking toward tomorrow with a rifle in my hand
And I'm thinking 'bout New England and I'm missing old Japan
And a mountain in California where a spring runs hot and cold
And if I told you I felt ageless, would you tell me I'm not old

As I go on and on
Wondering if I've got a soul
Counting down the hours 'till it goes
On and on
Wondering if I've got a soul
Counting down the hours 'till it goes

Motion City Soundtrack
"It Had To Be You"

I'll get lost, messed up and bored when I'm alone too long
I can't sleep, function or eat when I'm not with someone
Late last fall, she ended it all and moved to who-knows-where
Just like that, she vanished and packed and never even called

Do you feel a certain sense of synergy between yourself and me?
A kind of macabre and somber Wondertwin type of harmony
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool,
Kicking and screaming and pretending we were wrong

Let's get wrecked on pop tarts and sex and see the Taj Mahal
Let's save birds from Prince William Sound and skateboard through the mall
Let's fight crime with mangoes and limes and join the PGA
Let's win big with every spin but hurry, I can't wait

Do you spend a fortune on those late night prepaid television scams
In search of the perfect blender, steak knife and non-stick frying pan?
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool
Thinking we were completely wrong
It seemed like a dream
A beautiful scream
That echoed forever
And made us not afraid to feel a thing

And after it ends
We'll try to be friends
They say that what doesn't kill us makes us who we are

All this time and everything's changed but I still feel the same
All good things eventually end and get washed down the drain
What a disaster it would be if you discovered that I cared
A little too much for friends but not enough to share

What if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool
Now that I'm sure that I was wrong
It had to be you.
It had to be you.
It had to be you.
I knew it was you.

Tisbury Lane by Mae

She greets the day with her hair wet
She asks them to vacate the building because
She's got a plan they don't know yet
And if it goes wrong there'll be no one to see

If she could just get the word out
God knows she's trying
They're watching her with eyes closed
She's always stuck with the old route
Does anyone knock when they barge in to beat her down

Will you come back?
It's all she wants to know
She knows she's part of the problem too
Could she let it go?
It'd take a miracle
So that's what I'm praying for

No one can know just how she feels
She won't use the phone
She's too tired to pick it up
She's going back to the old way
She sits in the classroom to learn with the others

Please don't give up when it's easy
Don't you know that me and Jesus will cheer you on
He's the only one who will be constantly everything you need

Will you come back?
It's all she wants to know
She knows she's part of the problem too
Could she let it go?
It'd take a miracle
So that's what I'm praying for

She lives on Tisbury Lane
She lives on Tisbury Lane

Firecracker
Josh Turner

Yeah

When I look in her eyes
It ain't no surprise
Sparks start a flyin' like the 4th of July
She gets me so hot my heart starts a pumpin'
When we get to kissin' there ain't no stoppin'
When it comes to love she ain't no slacker
My little darlin' is a Firecracker

When I light the fuse I gotta get back quick
You gotta be careful with a dynamite stick
Son of a gun she's fun to handle
and she packs a punch like a roman candle
She's a pack of black cats in a red paper wrapper
My little darlin' is a Firecracker

[chorus]
We might not oughta take a roll in the hay
Cause we'll burn the barn down a one of these days
We're a match made in Heaven and it ain't no joke
But I'd sure hate to see it go up in smoke
We gotta good thing goin' and if feels so right
She's a Firecracker
She's the light of my life

She goes off with a great big bang
Boys I tell ya' it's a beautiful thing
When she takes off you better hang on tight
She's a blonde bottle rocket in the middle of the night
When she makes love she's a heartattacker
My little darlin' is a Firecracker

[chorus]

uh huh

Yea, we gotta good thing going and it feels so right
She's a Firecracker
She's the light of my life

We gotta good thing goin' and it feels so right
She's a Firecracker
She's the light of my life

She's a Firecracker she's the light of my life

Firecracker
Firecracker

Ooooooo

Firecracker [sssssss]
Firecracker

Bang

Firecracker

"Boys With Girlfriends"
Meiko


When I first met you I knew you were the one
'Til you took me home and I met her
She had your boxers on
She was listening to your song
And I thought right then that you had everything

But I knew she was jealous from the start
Yeah
I knew she was jealous from the start

'Cause I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
Oh
I know better than that
I know better
You play the victim and I'll be the bad guy
I know better than that
I know better

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

We started hanging around after nine
I could've sworn that I was yours
You looked at me and said, "It's a little too late for bed"
We went to the hotel and talked about everything

But I knew she was jealous from the start
Yeah
I knew she was jealous from the start

(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
'Cause I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
Oh

(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
You play the victim and I'll be the bad guy
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
(Oh oh)
I know better than that

(Ah)
What she did to us was tragic
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

(Ah)
And I have to do what's right
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

(Ah)
What we had was really magic
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

(Ah)
But I have to get what's mine

Oh
What's mine
I'll get what's mine and you'll get yours

'Cause I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
Oh
I know better than that
I know better
You play the victim and I'll be the bad guy
I know better than that
I know better

(Oh oh oh oh)

All I Ever Wanted
Chuck Wicks

Girl you got me going
Yea I think you know it
Oh I’m ready for this ride
So come on take my hand
'Cuz only you, you understand
How to kick this feeling into

Drive all night with me
Sing my favorite song and sleep
Under the stars on the hood of our car
It’s all I’ve ever wanted
All I ever wanted was to
See you in the pale moon light
Just the way ya look tonight
And maybe some day
If love comes our way
We’ll be walking in the meadow in the early spring
You’ll be twirling in a sundress wearing my ring
Can you see it
Girl I believe 'em that
It’s true
All I ever wanted
All I ever really wanted was you

If life is what you make it
Here’s my chance I'll take it
You know I wanna make you mine
I have this picture in my mind
You were in it all the time
So baby hold on tight

And drive all night with me
Sing my favorite song and sleep
Under the stars on the hood of our car
It’s all I’ve ever wanted
All I ever wanted was to
See you in the pale moon light
Just the way ya look tonight
And maybe some day
If love comes our way
We’ll be walking in the meadow in the early spring
You’ll be twirling in a sundress wearing my ring
Can you see it
Girl I believe 'em that
It’s true
All I ever wanted
All I ever really wanted was you

All I ever wanted
Was to see you in the pale moon light
Just the way ya look tonight
And maybe some day
If love comes our way
We’ll be walking in the meadow in the early spring
You’ll be twirling in a sundress wearing my ring
Can you see it
Girl I believe 'em that
It’s true
All I ever wanted
All I ever really wanted was you

Mine All Mine
Chuck Wicks

Girl you’ve been so busy
I ain’t seen you around
You got the world on your shoulders
Let me help you put it down
Baby, come inside
And leave it all behind

You got your boss, your friends, your family
Every second of the day
People push ya
People pull ya
A million different ways
I’m feelin' it too
I’ll tell ya what I’m gonna do

Now that I got you here
All to myself
Baby, I ain’t sharing you with no one else
You’ve been everybody else’s all week long
But tonight you’re mine, all mine

If you go get the blinds
I’ll turn off the phone
Then I’ll pour a little wine
Baby, make yourself at home
All I wanna do is spend some time on you

Now that I got you here
All to myself
Baby, I ain’t sharing you with no one else
You’ve been everybody else’s all week long
But tonight you’re mine, all mine

It might sound a little selfish, I know
But can you blame me
I’ve been missin' you so
Ohhh

You’ve been everybody else's all week long
But tonight you’re mine, all mine
Yea, tonight you’re mine, all mine, all mine
Yea, yea
Mmmmmm

A Cockeyed Optimist from South Pacific

Nellie:
When the skies are bright canary yellow
I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen,
So they called me a cockeyed optimist
Immature and incurably green.

I have heard people rant and rave and bellow
That we're done and we might as well be dead,
But I'm only a cockeyed optimist
And I can't get it into my head.

I hear the human race
Is fallin' on its face
And hasn't very far to go,
But ev'ry whippoorwill
Is sellin' me a bill,
And tellin' me it just ain't so.

I could say life is just a bowl of Jello
And appear more intelligent and smart,
But I'm stuck like a dope
With a thing called hope,
And I can't get it out of my heart!
Not this heart...

[Sophia Crawford]

For the Longest Time by Sherwood

Would you wait if I came running home to you?
Or if I moved right down the street a block or two?
Distance is never on my side
It only seems to make our dreams collide
And you have gone on to someone new

Would you wait if I wrote you a perfect song tonight?
To make your heart stand still and make your chest grow tight?
But I'll never write a perfect line
And I don't even know why I waste my time and try
Whoa

And for the longest time
I couldn't love her to save my life
Never a moment of peace in my mind
Yeah
Cause in the longest line
The front and the back are the same sometimes
And taking a number has taken my time
Whoa

And there are things I know that I don't have the patience for
And when I go to my room I leave an open door
'Cause I can't stand to feel alone
And when you come around I'm feeling more at home
Whoa

And for the longest time
I couldn't love her to save my life
Never a moment of peace in my mind
Yeah
'Cause in the longest line
The front and the back are the same sometimes
And taking a number has taken my time
Whoa

Don't pass me by
Give me another chance tonight
To make your heavy heart so light that you can fly
'Cause every time
I see the light behind your eyes
The whole thing catches me in a moment by surprise

And for the longest time
I couldn't love her to save my life
Never a moment of peace in my mind
Yeah
'Cause in the longest line
The front and the back are the same sometimes
And taking a number has taken my time
Whoa, whoa

And for the longest time
I couldn't love her to save my life
Never a moment of peace in my mind
Whoa
(Don't pass me by)
Yeah, 'cause in the longest line
The front and the back are the same sometimes
And taking a number has taken my time
Whoa
(Don't pass me by)

And for the longest time
I couldn't love her to save my life
Never a moment of peace in my mind
Whoa
(Don't pass me by)
Yeah, 'cause in the longest line
The front and the back are the same sometimes
And taking a number has taken my time, whoa
(Don't pass me by)

And for the longest time
I couldn't love her to save my life
Never a moment of peace in my mind
Whoa

Work In Progress by Set Your Goals


It's a revelation, a moment of clarity,
and I am trapped inside this moment deadlines are left to die
And I guess I am truly free.
My brain was spent I worried as I fell in knee deep
where consequences and circumstances suffocated and I could barely breathe.
And by all means, this rain should be bringing me down.
Seattle is keeping me in tune with just right now
and a song that tends to be so oddly timed.
The city is cold and miserable but I am not.
All we are is all we've started. All could be gone.

SO LET'S BEGIN!
I often wonder if I'll ever finish all I've started, and the answer I have found is NO.
No, I will never finish all that I have started because life is about doing, the process
And not the result. Life is about doing whether you want to or not.

MY LIFE!: A constant work in progress and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Take a look back. Is that what you wanted?
Chances are that it's not what was intended to be, because it's gonna be better than everything.
Everything, you will see, comes together in it's own ironic kind of way, so live in just today.
In my eyes I hold a vision in contradiction of what once existed.

Spinnerette - Bury My Heart

I’ve been known to run
Like a horse who hears the gun
I’ve been known to carry
Bones they’re light on marrow

I’ve been known to waste sanity
I know there’s nothing left
In silence
I’ve been known to waste
It’s a waste
It’s a wave goodbye

If he wants to go
You can bury my heart

I’ve been known to cry
Acid rainbows are for the color blind
I’ve been caught in a cycle before
It’s a race back to the starting line

I’ve been known to waste sanity
I know there’s nothing left
In silence
I’ve been known to waste
It’s a waste
It’s a wave goodbye

If he wants to go
You can bury my heart

[Abigail Greenwater]

Emilie Autumn - Juliet

You're in my stars you know
Don't need no crystal ball to tell me so
Whispering in the air
Hoping that my words find you somewhere
Even when I close my eyes
I'll never recreate the Time that flies
The consequence is hanging there
The sky will fall but I don't care

Meet me beneath my balcony and say
No one but you could ever fill my night
Be the sunlight in my every day
Underneath my balcony I'll say
No one but you could ever fill my night
Be the sunlight in my every day

Your love is haunting me
And all I want is more to set me free
Whispering in the air
Hoping that my words find you somewhere
Do you hear me call your name
I know we will never be the same
The consequence is hanging there
The sky will fall but I don't care

Meet me beneath my balcony and say
No one but you could ever fill my night
Be the sunlight in my every day
Underneath my balcony I'll say
No one but you could ever fill my night
Be the sunlight in my every day
