Rules: Post the Lyrics to Songs with Song Title and Artist, when the thread hits TEN PAGES, start a NEW THREAD...have fun with it ;D
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 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

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...

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

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
