The (shipped) gold standard - Fall Out Boy

Sometimes I wanna quit this all and become an accountant now
But I'm no good at math and besides the dollar is down
Plant palm trees on Lake Michigan Before it gets cold
I gotta feel the wind chill again before I get old

I wanna scream 'I love you' from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town
And get new passports and get, get, get, get, get out now

All the Yes men said 'no comment'
My mouth got going the wrong way and all the calls started snowing
The time my dad caught me a horse shoe crab
And I asked him if throwing it back into the sea would bring our luck back

I wanna scream 'I love you' from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town
And get new passports, get out now

Tell that boy I'll leave you alone now
Like a stove, I'll turn my love down
Supra and the prophet are both in the business of souls

I wanna scream 'I love you' from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me
I wanna scream 'I love you' from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town
Know we're gonna leave this town
And get new passports and get, get, get, get, get out
Get, get, get, get, get out now

Best laid plans - James Blunt

You don't like it in the shadows
But you won't let me shine a light
I would wash away your troubles
But it seems
The more that I hold on
The more that you let go
And I know, you better let somebody love you
Or find yourself on your own

Tell me why all the best laid plans
Fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end
The way I meant

If we don't talk about the future
Then should I just follow you into the dark
And does your silence keep you cold
While the cracks form on my heart

Tell me why all the best laid plans
Fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end
The way I meant

It seems to me some fine friends
Have watched you turn your back
It seems you only want the things
That you can't have

Tell me why all the best laid plans
Fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end
The way I meant

Tell me why all the best laid plans
Fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end
The way I meant

Nothing in my way - Keane

A turning tide
Lovers at a great divide
Why did you laugh
When I know that you hurt inside?

And why did you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say?
And why did you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside?
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say

A tell-tale sign
You don't know where to draw the line

And why did you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way?
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say
And why did you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside?
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say

Well, for a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time

Lazer tag with imaginary friends - Kyle Andrews

I'm tired of feeling this way
Something's got to change
Or something's gonna break

I've been living in the space between my ears
Petting all the monsters that appear

Your face is hanging in a frame
In the back of my head, in the back of my skull

And it rattles around, rattles around,
Till all the screws come loose

Oh no, here we go
Your broken heart ache
Steals from the moment
To pay off the shit you started

Can you forget
The voice in your head?
Imaginary friend
The voice in your head
You'll battle till the end

I tried so many times
To get away
But there's no escaping

At night I close my eyes
And dive into your open arms
But you're not even there
But you're not even there

Oh no, here we go
Your broken heart ache
Steals from the moment
To pay off the shit you started

Oh no, here we go
Your broken heart ache
Steals from the moment
To pay off the shit you started

Can you forget
The voice in your head?
Imaginary friend
The voice in your head
You'll battle till the end

I can see your face
When I close my eyes
Superimposed
On the rest of my life

I can see your face
When I close my eyes
Superimposed
On the rest of my life

I can see your face
When I close my eyes
Superimposed
On the rest of my life

I can see your face
When I close my eyes
I'll keep you close
I'll shut them tight
