Favorite Things: February 2011

Something In the Air

Remember tonight for it is the beginning of always. - Dante`

He walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet
Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
Stood at the table where she sat
And removed his hat
In respect of her presence
Presents her with the pictures and says
‘These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you.
These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you’

Opened up his little heart
Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
And read a written warning
Saying ‘I’m still mourning
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you’

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It’s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love

He went crazy at nineteen
Said he’d lost all his self esteem
And couldn’t understand why he was crying

He would stare at empty chairs
Think of the ghosts that once sat there
The ghosts who broke his heart.
All the ghosts that broke my heart
The ghosts that broke his heart
All the ghosts that broke my heart
the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts
The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It’s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love

He says ‘I’m so lost,
Not at all well’
Do as though there is nothing left to be
Turned out I’d been following him and he’d been following me
Do as though after it was over
We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulders
And i said

"Lover please do not
Fall to your knees
It’s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love

Lover please do not
Fall to your knees
It’s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love

If I Can't Have You

Beyond Explanation

Possibility - Lykke Li

There’s a possibility
There’s a possibility
All that I had was all I gon’ get

..MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..

There’s a possibility
There’s a possibility
All I gon' get is gone with your step
All I gon' get is gone with your step

So tell me when you hear my heart stop,
You’re the only who knows
Tell me when you hear my silence
There’s a possibility
I wouldn’t know

..MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..
..MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..

Know that when you leave
Know that when you leave
By blood and by mean
You walk like a thief
By blood and by mean
I fall when you leave

So tell me when you hear my heart stop,
You’re the only who knows
Tell me when you hear my silence
There’s a possibility
I wouldn’t know

Tell me when my sigh is over
You’re the reason why I’m close
Tell me when you hear me falling
There's a possibility
It wouldn’t show

..MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..
..MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..

By blood and by mean
I fall when you leave
By blood and by mean
I follow your lead

..MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..
..MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..
..MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..
..MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..

Gone In The Morning - Newton Faulkner

Off to the land of sleepy time I go.
i'm gonna take my shoes off at the door.
I'm gonna go where dreams like rivers flow.
When the alarm goes off I just won't know.
Wont you, come with me?

Wont you, before they're gone in the morning.
I wanna know why they're gone in the morning.
I feel alone when they're gone in the morning.
I wanna know why they're gone in the morning.

I'm gonna master all kinds of kung-foo.
I'm gonna live inside a tiny zoo.
I'm gonna grow my self a giant afro. (incredible)
When the alarm goes off i just won't know
Wont you, come with me?

Wont you, before they're gone in the morning.
I wanna know why they're gone in the morning.
I feel alone when they're gone in the morning.
I wanna know why they're gone in the morning.

I don't mind what's in store.
I'll make it in your own sweet time.
When i'm go, oh i don't wanna go.
Wont you, come with me?

Wont you, before they're gone in the morning.
I wanna know why they're gone in the morning.
I feel alone when they're gone in the morning.
I wanna know why they're gone in the morning.
I wanna know why they're gone in the morning.
I feel alone when they're gone in the morning.
I wanna know why they're gone in the morning.

Breakable - Ingrid Michaelson

Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

You fasten my seatbelt because it is the law.
In your two ton death trap I finally saw.
A piece of love in your face that bathed me in regret.
Then you drove me to places I'll never forget.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls-
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls-
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

5 Good Things That Happened Today

1. The sun was shining and it was warm today!
2. I got to sing in the car with the wind in my hair.
3. I finished two lectures.
4. I got a call back from the hospital about a job.
5. I might get a puppy for only $50!

Bon Iver - Blindsided

Bike down... down to the downtown

Down to the lockdown... boards, nails lye arond

I crouch like a crow

Contrasting the snow

For the agony, I'd rather know

'Cause blinded I am blindsided

Peek in... into the peer in

I'm not really like this... I'm probably plightless

I cup the window

I'm crippled and slow

For the agony

I'd rather know

'Cause blinded I am blindsided

Would you really rush out for me now?

Taught line... down to trhe shoreline

The end of a blood line... the moon is a cold light

There's a pull to the flow

My feet melt the snow

For the irony, i'd rather know

'Cause blinded I was blindsided

'Cause blinded I was blindsided

'Cause blinded I was blindsided
