Flightless Bird, American Mouth

~ Iron & Wine ~

 

I was a quick-wit boy

Diving too deep for coins

All of your street light eyes

Wide on my plastic toys

Then when the cops closed the fair

I cut my long baby hair

Stole me a dog-eared map

And called for you everywhere

 

Have I found you?

Flightless bird, jealous, weeping

Or lost you?

American mouth, big pill looming

 

Now I'm a fat house cat

Nursing my sore blunt tongue

Watching the warm poison rats

Curl through the wide fence cracks

Pissing on magazine photos

Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean

Blood of Christ mountain stream

 

Have I found you?

Flightless bird, jealous, weeping

Or lost you?

American mouth

Big pill, stuck going down

Drift

~ Forty Foot Echo ~

I remember when we fell
You took my whole life my breath away
I remember when we kiss as you drift into the sun
So take a ride, now you take the fall
And you weigh so shallow
Wait for me before you take it all away

Far away, it's not like I wanted to
Far away, it's not like I could breathe anymore
Far away, it's not like I wanted you
But you're not for me, not for me anymore

I remember when we met
It took your whole life, your breath away
I remember when we kissed as you drift into the sun
So take a ride, now you take the fall
And you weigh so shallow
Wait for me before you take it all away

Far away, it's not like I wanted to
Far away, it's not like I could breathe anymore
Far away, it's not like I wanted you
But you're not for me, not for me anymore

Not for me
You're not for me
Not for me
Not for me

Far away, it's not like I wanted to
Far away, it's not like I could breathe anymore
Far away, it's not like I wanted you
But you're not for me, not for me anymore

Not for me
You're not for me
Not for me
Not for me

Dream of Me

~ Kirsten Dunst ~

Let me sleep, for when I sleep
I dream that you are here, you're mine
And all my fears are left behind

I float on air
The nightingale sings gentle lullaby
So let me close my eyes

And sleep per chance to dream
So I could see the face I long to touch, to kiss
But only dreams can bring me this

So let the moon
Shines softly on the boy I long to see
And maybe when he dreams
He'll dream of me

I'll hide beneath the clouds
And whisper to the evening star
They tell me love is just a dream away
Dream away (dream away)
I'll dream away

So let the moon
Shines softly on the boy I long to see
And maybe when he dreams
He'll dream of me

Ooh, dream of me

Mad

~ Ne- Yo ~

 

She's staring at me, I'm sitting wondering what she's thinking

Nobody's talking, 'cause talking just turning into screaming

And now as I'm yelling over her, she yelling over me

All that that means is neither of us are listening,

And what's even worse, that we don't remember why we're fighting

 

So both of us are mad for nothing (fighting for)

Nothing (crying for)

Nothing (oohh)

When we won't let it go for nothing (come back for)

Nothing, it should be nothing

To a love like what we've got oh baby

 

I know sometimes it's gonna rain

But baby can we make up now 'cause I can't sleep through the pain

Girl I don't want to go to bed, mad at you

And I don't want you to go to bed mad at me

No I don't want to go to bed mad at you

And I don't want to go to bed mad at me (oh no)

 

And it gets me upset girl when you're constantly accusing

(Asking questions like you already know)

We're fighting this war, but baby both of us are losing

(This ain't the way love is supposed to go, what happened to working it out?)

We fall into this place where you ain't backing down, and I ain't backing down

So what the hell do we do now?

 

So both of us are mad for nothing (fighting for)

Nothing (crying for)

Nothing (ooohhh)

When we won't let it go for nothing, nothing

It should be nothing

To a love like what we've got oh baby

 

I know sometimes it's gonna rain

But baby can we make up now 'cause I can't sleep through the pain

Girl I don't want to go to bed, mad at you

And I don't want you to go to bed mad at me

No I don't want to go to bed mad at you

And I don't want to go to bed mad at me (oh no)

 

Oh baby this love ain't gonna be perfect (perfect, perfect oh no)

And just how good it's gonna be

We can fuss and we can fight long as everything is alright between us before we go to sleep

Baby we're gonna be

Happy... baby

 

I know sometimes it's gonna rain

But baby can we make up now 'cause I can't sleep through the pain

Girl I don't want to go to bed, mad at you

And I don't want you to go to bed mad at me

No I don't want to go to bed mad at you

And I don't want to go to bed mad at me (oh no)

 

Stick Around

~ Azure ~

How many times do I daydream of making love to you
I'll take you to a special place where it's only me and you
I'll put away all your troubles on the other side of the world
And wrap my arms around you, hon
And tell you your my girl

(So let's go sail away in the night)
And we'll go far away from here
(Tell you that's where our love is right)
Can I take you to my world?

Whenever you're sad
Whenever you're crying
I'll be the one who wipes away your tears
Whenever you call
Whenever you need me
I'll be the one who runs to you
Give you my love
Well you know how much I love you
So you better not let me down
I'm not asking for too much baby
Just stick around

A quiet day in the country
Or a rainy night in my room
We'll hide away in a time machine
If the morning comes too soon
An afternoon in your eyes
Or a lifetime in your heart
Forever just ain't long enough

(Falling deeper in love with you)
Will you be there to catch me girl?
(I hope you're falling deep with me too)
Can I keep you in my world?

Whenever you're sad
Whenever you're crying
I'll be the one who wipes away your tears
Whenever you call
Whenever you need me
I'll be the one who runs to you
Give you my love
Well you know how much I love you
So you better not let me down
I'm not asking for too much
Baby just stick around


Forever... forever
Ooh would you come on baby

(Let's go sail away in the night)
And we'll go far away from here
(Tell you that's where our love is right)

Ooh 'cause whenever you're sad
Whenever you're crying
I'll be the one who wipes away your tears
Whenever you're call me
Whenever you need me
I'll be the one who runs to you
Give you my love
Well you know how much I love you
So you better not let me down
I'm not asking for too much
Baby just stick around

Forever, forever

Terrified

~ Katharine Mcphee ~

You by the light is the greatest find
In a world full of wrong, you're the thing that's right
Finally made it through the lonely to the other side

You said again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like as shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love, and I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life

This could be good
It's already better than last
And nothing's worst than knowing you're holding back
I could be all that you needed
If you let me try

You said it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only

I only said it 'cause I mean it
I only mean it 'cause it's true
So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming
'Cause it fills me up and holds me close
Whenever I'm without you

You said it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life

Life
Life
In my only life

If You Asked Me To

~ Celine Dion ~

Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believed in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone, I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to

Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling darling since I've found you
That I've found my home, that I'm finally home
I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me darling
I said I needed, needed to be free

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you

Asked me to, I will give my world to you baby
I need you now
Asked me to and I'll do anything for you baby
For you baby

If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
All you gotta do
All you gotta do
All you gotta do is asked me to
I'll give you my world
I'll give you my world
Everything, everything baby

Just ask me to
If you asked me to
I'd change my mind
