20 years - The Civil Wars

There's a note underneath your front door
That I wrote twenty years ago
Yellow paper and a faded picture
And a secret in an envelope

There's no reasons, no excuses
There's no second-hand alibis
Just some black ink on some blue lines
And a shadow you won't recognize

In the meantime, I'll be waiting
For twenty years and twenty more
I'll be praying for redemption
And your note underneath my door
And your note underneath my door

Falling - The Civil Wars

Haven't you seen me sleepwalking?
Cause I've been holding your hand
Haven't you noticed me drifting?
Oh, let me tell you I am

Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh, let me tell you I am

Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you

Why am I feeling so guilty
And why am I holding my breath?
I'm worried about everyone but me
And I just keep losing myself

Oh, tell me it's nothing
And try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh, let me tell you I am

Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you

Oh, won't you read my mind?
Don't you make me lie here and die here

Oh, please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you
With you

Oh, haven't you noticed?
And I, I'm sleepwalking

All these things that I've done - The Killers

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on
Hold on

I want to stand up
I want to let go
You know, you know
No, you don't, you don't
I want to shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand

Another head aches
Another heart breaks
I’m so much older than I can take
And my affection
Well, it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection
No, no, no, no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh, don't you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out

And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh, don't you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out

You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh, don't you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out

Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Yeah, oh, don't you put me on the backburner
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Over and again
Last call for sin
While everyone's lost
The battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done

(Time, truth, hearts)

If you can hold on
If you can hold on

I'm not the only one - Sam Smith

You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts

For months on end I've had my doubts
Denying every tear
I wish this would be over now
But I know that I still need you here

You say I'm crazy
Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me ‘baby’
I know I'm not the only one

You've been so unavailable
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable
Even though Lord knows you have mine

You say I'm crazy
Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me ‘baby’
I know I'm not the only one

I have loved you for many years
Maybe I am just not enough
You've made me realise my deepest fear
By lying and tearing us up

You say I'm crazy
Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me ‘baby’
I know I'm not the only one

You say I'm crazy
Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me ‘baby’
I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, know
I know I'm not the only one

Coming home - Tim McMorris

When I started it was good
Built my castle with my hand
But I didn't realize
I built on sand

And the wind came rushing in
And the waves rolled from the shores
And my kingdom tumbled down
Roof to the floors

And that day I walked away
Said I would never turn back again
But I knew, I could feel inside
That I was wrong

Yeah, and as I left, pushed you aside
You held your hand out as you cried
And said, “Though now you turn away, it won't be long

Now you will not let me near
But I will wait for you right here
Ready to fix your broken heart
Wounded and torn

You'll be coming home
Home
You’ll be coming home
Home
You’ll be coming home”


When I was young the world was simple, I was free
But as I aged a monster grew inside of me
Tried to mask the emptiness
Tried to cover up the pain
Angry at life though I was clearly the one to blame

Then I met you
And it was good for a little while
But somehow I missed the bigger picture and let you go

But even with all my mistakes
You loved me still, past the heart aches
You told me to give up my old ways
You'd help me move on

And though you'd always been good to me
I was still blind, yeah, I couldn't see
And though I tried you said I wouldn't last
I couldn't last alone

I'd be coming home
Home
I’d be coming home
Home
Yeah, I'd be coming home
Home
Yeah, I’d be coming home
Home

That I’d be coming home
That I’d be coming home
That I’d be coming home
I’d be coming home
Yeah, I’ll be coming home

Time in a bottle - Jim Corce

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

Prisoner of the road - Sivert Høyem

When I go, I go alone
There ain't no one ever looking out for me
Just the sun, my own lean shadow
And the wind out among the trees

Home, it's far beyond long lost horizons
Home I'll never see
For I'll be a prisoner of the road
And I hold no key that will ever set me free

Most humbly on my bending knee
I'm begging you to help me, please
For I'm a prisoner of the road
And I hold no key, I hold no key that will ever set me free

Fact-fiction - Mads Langer

Imagine a world without me
Say you're falling apart
Let's pretend you've missed me for a while
Wouldn't you say you were lonely
And love was breaking your heart?
Put on your sunday best and fake a smile

I dream of dreaming dreams of her
In twilight she's a constant blur
The picture’s clear and I'm still fact
She's fiction

Remember the night you were with me
Fell asleep by my side
Strangers together
Your hand in mine
How come we never came closer
When all the stars were aligned?
I thought we had a moment

I dream of dreaming dreams of her
In twilight she's a constant blur
The picture’s clear and I'm still fact
She's fiction
I seem to miss the missing part
She's still my favourite work of art
The picture’s clear and I'm still fact
She's fiction

No, nothing has changed cause I'm still fact
She's fiction
Or I may be imperfectly formed in this contradiction

I dream of dreaming dreams of her
In twilight she's a constant blur
The picture’s clear cause I'm still fact
She's fiction

I fell in love with her longing
Let's just say that she never found out
Who it was she never found in me

Invisible man - Theory Of A Deadman

Haven't seen me lately
Staying hard to find
Well, I know it ain't easy
But you know I don't mind

I always know where you are
(You never know where I am)
You've got me sneaking around
(Like the invisible man)
You'll never know where I've gone
(You've gone and done it again)
You've got me sneaking around
(Like the invisible man)
Going once, going twice, fuck this, I'm gone

You've been looking for days now
Oh, but I'm not around
I've been finding new ways how
To see that I'm never found

I always know where you are
(You never know where I am)
You've got me sneaking around
(Like the invisible man)
You'll never know where I've gone
(You've gone and done it again)
You've got me sneaking around
(Like the invisible man)
Going once, going twice, fuck this I'm gone

You can see right through me
Outta sight, outta mind
Can you see why it's easy
To be the hardest to find?

I always know where you are
(You never know where I am)
You've got me sneaking around
(Like the invisible man)
You'll never know where I've gone
(You've gone and done it again)
You've got me sneaking around
(Like the invisible-ble-ble)

Like the invisible man
Like the invisible man
Like the invisible man
Like the invisible man
Like I'm invisible

Going once, going twice, three times, fuck this I'm gone

Mercenary - Panic! At The Disco

Just a dime store poet
Keeping pace, talking his face blue
Two dollar store tramps
To get a glance, a new chance at you

Walk past the dance floor
That's always been a dear friend of mine
Cut calls and concubines
Dancing in 4/4 time

Hey mister
The bellman says
”I can only recall this nice hotel, I said”
So he replies “
“Then how do you manage?”
“I dodge the blast
And apologize for collateral damage”


In love I've always been a mercenary
But I never leave my post when the cash runs out
I want to make you quiver
Make your backbone shiver
Hey kid, take the stage and deliver

Hey mister
The bellman says
”I can only recall this nice hotel, I said”
So he replies “
“Then how do you manage?”
“I dodge the blast
And apologize for collateral damage”


Collateral damage
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
Collateral damage

How does it feel to stand on the very stones that ran with your parent's blood?
Do you feel sad?
Full of rage?
Or does that outfit help you bury your feelings?
I hate to hear your true self
You're truly an extraordinary specimen
I look forward to breaking you”

I dodge the blast
And apologize for collateral damage

Hey mister
The bellman says
”I can only recall this nice hotel, I said”
So he replies “
“Then how do you manage?”
“I dodge the blast
And apologize for collateral damage”
