You're flat on your face
In a field fifty feet from a burning Cadillac
At least you were thrown clear
Cause I'm still stuck in here
I take off my shoes
I let the flames crawl up and burn right through me
I'm silent as a movie
I always thought you knew me better
At least you were thrown clear
Cause I'm still stuck in here
At least you were thrown
At least you were thrown clear
I'm still stuck in here
And I'm still stuck
So now you are hurt
And you were sure I could not be hurt too
And just because you're bleeding
You think that I'm not bleeding
And just because you're full of yourself
Doesn't mean I'm not full of you
But at least you were thrown clear
Cause I'm still stuck in here
At least you were thrown clear
At least you were thrown clear
Cause I'm still stuck in here
And I'm still stuck
And so we burn silently
A silent light, a silent day
And so we burn silently
It just seems wrong
At least you were thrown
At least you were thrown clear
At least you were thrown

Goldfish - Joe Purdy
I'm leaving this morning
I'll call when I can
I'm going fishing on the Rio Grand
Tell them all I love them
I don't care what they say
Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
And I'm gonna catch me some quiet today
I went by the circus, but the doors were all closed
And the kids were all screaming for see the big show
And the clown he'd grown tired and his clothes were worm thin
He said “I don't care if I ever see this big top again”
He says “I don't mind if I never see the big top again”
I went by the church and I saw the white veil
And I remember the letter that you sent in the mail
And I wish you the best with your new fancy life
With your shiny black car and rich man by your side
With your shiny black car and rich man by your side
I'm leaving this morning
I'll call when I can
I'm going fishing on the Rio Grand
Tell them all I love them
I don't care what they say
Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
I packed all my things, and it didn't take long
I remember what you looked like when you were young
And I wanted to see you, but I knew it was wrong
So I stayed up all night drinking and singing another song
I just stayed up all night drinking and singing your songs
I'm leaving this morning
I'll call when I can
Cause I'm going fishing on the Rio Grand
Tell them all I love them
I don't care what they say
Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
Yeah, I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
Yeah, I'm gonna catch me some quiet today
I'll call when I can
I'm going fishing on the Rio Grand
Tell them all I love them
I don't care what they say
Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
And I'm gonna catch me some quiet today
I went by the circus, but the doors were all closed
And the kids were all screaming for see the big show
And the clown he'd grown tired and his clothes were worm thin

He says “I don't mind if I never see the big top again”
I went by the church and I saw the white veil
And I remember the letter that you sent in the mail
And I wish you the best with your new fancy life
With your shiny black car and rich man by your side
With your shiny black car and rich man by your side
I'm leaving this morning
I'll call when I can
I'm going fishing on the Rio Grand
Tell them all I love them
I don't care what they say
Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
I packed all my things, and it didn't take long

I just stayed up all night drinking and singing your songs

Our battles - Maria Mena
Our battles are repetitious
If not broken poetry
And maybe that's the attraction
That you're as self-absorbed as me
You jumped to the conclusion
And landed on my chest
Now how am I supposed to make you see
I'll just write this down
With hopes that you'll understand
I will no longer be disciplined by
The frustrations of an insecure man
And while I kissed your face you'll know that
I will no longer apologize for
Your former lover's mistakes
My past is mine to keep
Now who are you to question me?
Perhaps someday you'll learn
Too bad
It's not our turn
You jumped to the conclusion
And landed on my chest
Now how am I supposed to make you see
I'll just write this down
With hopes that you'll understand
I will no longer be disciplined by
The frustrations of an insecure man
And while I kissed your face you'll know that
I will no longer apologize for
Your former lover's mistakes
You set the standard for my future
You set the standard for my future (lovers)
You set the standard for my future
You set the standard for my future (lovers)
You set the standard
I'll just write this down
With hopes that you'll understand
I can no longer be disciplined by
The frustrations of an insecure man
And as I kiss your face you'll know that
I will no longer apologize
For you former lovers mistakes
I will write this down
Former lovers' mistakes
If not broken poetry
And maybe that's the attraction
That you're as self-absorbed as me
You jumped to the conclusion
And landed on my chest
Now how am I supposed to make you see
I'll just write this down
With hopes that you'll understand
I will no longer be disciplined by
The frustrations of an insecure man
And while I kissed your face you'll know that
I will no longer apologize for
Your former lover's mistakes
My past is mine to keep
Now who are you to question me?
Perhaps someday you'll learn
Too bad
It's not our turn
You jumped to the conclusion
And landed on my chest
Now how am I supposed to make you see
I'll just write this down
With hopes that you'll understand
I will no longer be disciplined by
The frustrations of an insecure man
And while I kissed your face you'll know that
I will no longer apologize for
Your former lover's mistakes
You set the standard for my future
You set the standard for my future (lovers)
You set the standard for my future
You set the standard for my future (lovers)
You set the standard
I'll just write this down
With hopes that you'll understand
I can no longer be disciplined by
The frustrations of an insecure man
And as I kiss your face you'll know that
I will no longer apologize
For you former lovers mistakes
I will write this down
Former lovers' mistakes
Long time coming - Maria Mena
Your patronizing stare can watch me heal
What I would give for you to take the wheel
It's been a long time coming
The strong resemblance to my mother's womb
Is the reason why I will not leave this room
It's been a long time coming
The lack of self-esteem has grown on me
I'm not as strong as I appear to be
It's been a long time coming
My lullaby sounds more like distant screams
I wake up sleep deprived after every dream
It's been a long time coming
My flesh makes little sense compared to yours
I wish my restlessness would open doors
It's been a long time coming
What I would give for you to take the wheel
It's been a long time coming
The strong resemblance to my mother's womb
Is the reason why I will not leave this room
It's been a long time coming
The lack of self-esteem has grown on me
I'm not as strong as I appear to be
It's been a long time coming
My lullaby sounds more like distant screams
I wake up sleep deprived after every dream
It's been a long time coming
My flesh makes little sense compared to yours
I wish my restlessness would open doors
It's been a long time coming

Person I should have been - James Morrison
I'm gonna start again
This world I painted black
Just needs some colour
And I'm gonna live my life like the other
Person I should have been
I ain't tapping out, no no no no
To this dark and twisted dream
That's kept me living
I pray to my soul
To keep this fire burning
And when it does
I'm gonna let it shine
I'll make the best of this life I've got left
Got no time for no regrets
Gonna show you just what I can be
The person I should have been
And it might take time, take time
Cause this life has taken it right out of me
I wanna change my perspective of reality
Be a much better version of me
The person I should have been
I make the best of this life I've got left
I put my sincerity to the test
Wake up my senses finally
The water washes me clean
What shouldn't have been has all been done
If I don't get a grip
Then the world has won
Making me think that I'll never be
The person I should have been
Who am I now?
A lonely man that's fallen down
No, I can't change
The past that time has all burned out
But I know somewhere inside of me
Is the person I could have been
Make the best of this life I've got left
Got no time for no regrets
Gonna show you just what I can be
The person I should have been
What shouldn't have been has all been done
If I don't get a grip
Then the world has won
Making me think that I'll never be
The person I should have been
I said the person, person I could have been
Said the person, person I could have been
The person I could have been
I said the person, person I should have been
Person I should have been
The person I could have been
This world I painted black
Just needs some colour
And I'm gonna live my life like the other
Person I should have been
I ain't tapping out, no no no no
To this dark and twisted dream
That's kept me living
I pray to my soul
To keep this fire burning
And when it does
I'm gonna let it shine
I'll make the best of this life I've got left
Got no time for no regrets
Gonna show you just what I can be
The person I should have been
And it might take time, take time
Cause this life has taken it right out of me
I wanna change my perspective of reality
Be a much better version of me
The person I should have been
I make the best of this life I've got left

Wake up my senses finally
The water washes me clean
What shouldn't have been has all been done
If I don't get a grip
Then the world has won
Making me think that I'll never be
The person I should have been
Who am I now?
A lonely man that's fallen down
No, I can't change
The past that time has all burned out
But I know somewhere inside of me
Is the person I could have been
Make the best of this life I've got left
Got no time for no regrets
Gonna show you just what I can be
The person I should have been
What shouldn't have been has all been done
If I don't get a grip
Then the world has won
Making me think that I'll never be
The person I should have been
I said the person, person I could have been
Said the person, person I could have been
The person I could have been
I said the person, person I should have been
Person I should have been
The person I could have been
Broken - Lifehouse
The broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time
I am here still waiting
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like you've already figured out
I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain
There is healing
In your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you
The broken locks were a warning
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead
And I still see your reflection
Inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose
They're still looking for life
I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain (in the pain)
Is there healing?
In your name (in your name)
I find meaning
So I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm barely holding on to you
I'm hanging on
Another day
Just to see what
You threw my way
And I'm hanging on
To the words you say
You said that I will be OK
The broken lights on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
Haven't forgotten my way home
I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain (in the pain)
There is healing
In your name (in your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm barely holding on to you
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm barely holding on to you (I’m still holding)
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time
I am here still waiting
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best

Enden av november - Kaizers Orchestra
Vent, darling, vent meg i enden av november
Du kjenner meg ikkje igjen
For eg er ikkje meg sjøl lenger
Eg minner kanskje om meg sjøl utenpå
Men eg ser ut som en krig bak det som du kan sjå
Alt eg vil gi for å ver hos deg nå
Og la mi hånd gli gjennom ditt hår
Og min doktor sa, hey, tid er relativt
Kor lenge trur du han ga meg?
Til enden av november
Send, darling, send nogen ord til meg som fenger
Og sett av et kryss heilt i enden av november
Eg ser svart røyk i bånn av mitt stearinlys
Er det et godt tegn
Eg ser tida føyk
Eg holder heller pusten livet ut
Vinden blåser feil vei
Her er min siste sang
Nå setter eg min siste klut
Min hud er i brann
Og temperaturen stiger, til 45 i feber
I enden av november
Nå håper eg brevet kommer fram til deg i tide
Mine ord er fra hjerta, mine tanker er frie
Du må stå inne for det du får ut av livet
For det er ingen som går ut av livet i live
Som min doktor sa, hey, tid er relativt
Kor lenge trur du han ga meg?
Til enden av november
Du kjenner meg ikkje igjen
For eg er ikkje meg sjøl lenger
Eg minner kanskje om meg sjøl utenpå
Men eg ser ut som en krig bak det som du kan sjå

It took me by surprise - Maria Mena
I would react badly
To the slightest hint of hesitance
He’d bend awkwardly to suit my mood
No word from his defense
I’d cry knowing how my tears
Felt like acid burning through his skin
Pushed every little button
But the right one that would let me in
Now he’s afraid of me
He’s afraid of me
It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault
I made changes that went unnoticed
Sang songs for deaf ears
He mistook my silence for punishment
As it had been all these years
I’d cry knowing how my tears
Felt like acid burning through his skin
Now he’s afraid of me
He’s afraid of me
It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I…
It took me by surprise

I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go

You and me - Lifehouse
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
One of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
And me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?

Take you back - Graham Colton
Looks like history's repeating
I don't learn from my mistakes
I can't feel the water rising
A wave will always break
I want to take you back
Back to where we started
Before the lights had changed
Words we didn't get to say
Seem to hit the hardest
Now just your memory
Is all that’s ever coming back to me
Now the heart you are defending
Has guards that I can't kill
Can't you see the happy ending?
I'll race you standing still
I want to take you back
Back to where we started
Before the lights had changed
Words we didn't get to say
Seem to hit the hardest
Now just your memory
Is all that’s ever coming back to me
Did you think that you could be so far gone that I couldn't find you?
Did you think you could leave every little piece of me behind you?
Pictures in your head you won't forget reminding you of me
I want to take you back
Back to where we started
Before the lights had changed
Words we never get to say
Always hit the hardest
Now we'll never be
I want to take you back
Back to where we started
Before everything changed
Words I never got to say
Still hit me the hardest
Now just your memory
Is all that’s ever coming back
I know you're never coming back
I know you're never coming back
I don't learn from my mistakes
I can't feel the water rising
A wave will always break
I want to take you back
Back to where we started
Before the lights had changed
Words we didn't get to say
Seem to hit the hardest
Now just your memory
Is all that’s ever coming back to me
Now the heart you are defending
Has guards that I can't kill
Can't you see the happy ending?
I'll race you standing still
I want to take you back
Back to where we started
Before the lights had changed
Words we didn't get to say
Seem to hit the hardest
Now just your memory
Is all that’s ever coming back to me
Did you think that you could be so far gone that I couldn't find you?
Did you think you could leave every little piece of me behind you?
Pictures in your head you won't forget reminding you of me
I want to take you back
Back to where we started
Before the lights had changed
Words we never get to say
Always hit the hardest
Now we'll never be
I want to take you back
Back to where we started
Before everything changed
Words I never got to say
Still hit me the hardest
Now just your memory
Is all that’s ever coming back
I know you're never coming back
I know you're never coming back
