Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart
Live free, and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star
Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide
Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
Cause you're born free
Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide
Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
Cause you're born free

Black flies - Ben Howard
Black flies on the windowsill
That we are
That we are
That we are to know
Winter stole summer's thrill
And the river's cracked and cold
See, the sky is no man's land
A darkened plume to stay
Hope here needs a humble hand
Not a fox found in your place
And no man is an island, oh, this I know
But can't you see, oh?
Maybe you were the ocean
When I was just a stone
Black flies on the windowsill
That we are
That we are
That we are to hold
Comfort came against my will
And every story must grow old
Still I'll be a traveler
A gypsy's reins to face
But the road is wearier
With that fool found in your place
And no man is an island, oh, this I know
But can't you see, oh?
Maybe you were the ocean
When I was just a stone
And no man is an island, oh, this I know
But can't you see, oh?
Maybe you were the ocean
When I was just a stone
So here we are
And I don't wanna beg your pardon
And I don't wanna ask you why
But if I was to go my own way
Would I have to pass you by?
And I don't wanna beg your pardon
And I don't wanna ask you why
But if I was to go my own way
Would I have to pass you by?
That we are
That we are
That we are to know
Winter stole summer's thrill
And the river's cracked and cold
See, the sky is no man's land
A darkened plume to stay
Hope here needs a humble hand
Not a fox found in your place
And no man is an island, oh, this I know
But can't you see, oh?
Maybe you were the ocean
When I was just a stone
Black flies on the windowsill
That we are
That we are
That we are to hold
Comfort came against my will
And every story must grow old
Still I'll be a traveler
A gypsy's reins to face
But the road is wearier

A thousand years - Christina Perri
Heart beats fast
Colours and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Colours and promises

I'll love you for a thousand more
Bang bang bang - Christina Perri
All my life, you know, I haven't been very love strong
There's been so many fights that I fought and I never won
So I decided that I should just give up in trying to right your wrongs
And word on the street is that she did to you what you did to me
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Bang! Bang! Bang! Boy!
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang! She shot you
Karma tastes so
Bang! Bang! Bang! Boy!
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang! She shot you
Karma tastes so sweet
So unfortunately for girls like me there are more like you
Bending and breaking the rules and we're making exceptions to
But how does it feel to swim in your own tears?
You lied and you lied, and I died and I died, and now you know why
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Bang! Bang! Bang! Boy!
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang! She shot you
Karma tastes so
Bang! Bang! Bang! Boy!
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang! She shot you
Karma tastes so sweet
Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang! She shot you
Karma tastes so
Bang! Bang! Bang! Boy!
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed

Jar of hearts - Christina Perri
I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore?
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are?
Running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
And I've learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are?
Running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
And who do you think you are?
Running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
And who do you think you are?
Running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore?
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

Comes and goes (In waves) - Greg Laswell
This one's for the lonely
The one's that seek and find
Only to be let down time after time
This one's for the torn down
The experts at the fall
Come on friends get up now
You're not alone at all
And this part was for her
And this part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves
This one's for the faithless
The ones that are surprised
They're only where they are now
Regardless of their fight
This one's for believing, if only for its sake
Come on friends get up now
Love is to be made
And this part was for her
And this part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
It comes in goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I, why I try
This is for the ones who stand
For the ones who try again
For the ones who need a hand
For the ones who think they can
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I, why, why I fly
The one's that seek and find
Only to be let down time after time
This one's for the torn down
The experts at the fall
Come on friends get up now
You're not alone at all
And this part was for her
And this part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves
This one's for the faithless
The ones that are surprised
They're only where they are now
Regardless of their fight
This one's for believing, if only for its sake
Come on friends get up now
Love is to be made
And this part was for her
And this part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
It comes in goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I, why I try
This is for the ones who stand
For the ones who try again
For the ones who need a hand
For the ones who think they can
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I, why, why I fly
It is what it is - Lifehouse
I was only looking for a shortcut home
But it's complicated
So complicated
Somewhere in this city is a road I know
Where we could make it
But maybe there's no making it now
Too long we've been denying
Now we're both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can't get over it
Nothing to relive
It's water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is
I was only trying to bury the pain
But I made you cry and I can't stop the crying
Was only trying to save me
But I lost you again
Now there's only lying
Wish I could say it's only me
Too long we've been denying
Now we're both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can't get over it
Nothing to relive
It's water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is
Here it comes, ready or not
We both found out it's not how we thought
That it would be, how it would be
If the time could turn us around
What once was lost may be found
For you and me, for you and me
Too long we've been denying
Now we're both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can't get over it
Nothing to relive
It's water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is
I was only looking for a shortcut home
But it's complicated
So complicated

In your skin - Lifehouse
Throw stones, breaking bones
Then wonder why you run for cover
You fight the world from inside
Lay down, playing dead to the pages
Just another wasted day in your mind
You live to run away
But fear is the hardest act to follow
Let me let you in
Hold on another day
Face the truth, it's hard to swallow
It's time to begin
There's only one life in your skin
Wake up, take a breath
Remember why you're even breathing
You're still alive
Give it, give it up
You're the only one believing in all of your lies
You live to run away
But fear is the hardest act to follow
Let me let you in
Hold on another day
Face the truth, it's hard to swallow
It's time to begin
There's only one life in your skin
In your skin
You live to run away
But fear is the hardest act to follow
Let me let you in
Hold on another day
Face the truth, it's hard to swallow
It's time to begin
There's only one life in your skin
In your skin
Then wonder why you run for cover
You fight the world from inside
Lay down, playing dead to the pages

You live to run away

Face the truth, it's hard to swallow

Nerve damage - Lifehouse

Your nerve damage shows
Trying not to feel
Anything that's real
You're losing control
Meltdown's looking for a new clown
Living in a world that's make believe
Used up, burned out, always got a hand out
Ain't nothing here for free
Now you're hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Let go, let it be
New circus freak
With black eyes that speak
Life takes its toll
You push and it pulls
You're losing control

Scream (Funk my life up) - Paolo Nutini
How was I to know you’d just come along?
And funk my life up
Lips like they’ve been singing sexed up strawberry songs
Just funk my life up
Never heard it coming, thought it’s just another woman
With a shotgun in her hand
Funk my life up
She’s the bass, she’s the beat, she’s the rhythm, she’s the band
Just funk my life up
And the girl, so fine
Makes you wanna scream hallelujah
Sly hands, spinning webs like silk
Beats are dripping on me, like spider milk
And I never heard the warning when I woke up this morning
With my sunshine on a drip
She’s my rock, she’s my bud, she’s tequila, she’s a trip
And that girl, so fine
Makes you wanna scream hallelujah
How can I refuse?
I’m not fit to chose
Just funk my life up
I said the only way I win is the way I lose
Just funk my life up
And I never got the script, I unzipped
Got a little bit of wet up in my brain
She’s your church, she’s your sin, she’s atomic, she’s the, oh, she’s the rain
And the girl, so fine you wanna scream
She gets me silly, she’s like a trick on me
Hell, I don’t even know her name but yet she sticks to me
And in the climax she would scream with me
Yeah, she sticks to me
She gets me funny, she doesn’t want none of my money
So I pour it over her like gasoline
Light a match and then I’m back in my teens
Me and super girl smoking my green
Me and super girl smoking my green
Unload, reload, eyes back swinging
Sweet thing, knows things, Jeff Beck sings
Roundhouse, going down, let’s go
And the girl so fine makes you wanna scream hallelujah, hallelujah
Yeah, the girl, so fine, you wanna scream
And funk my life up
Lips like they’ve been singing sexed up strawberry songs
Just funk my life up
Never heard it coming, thought it’s just another woman
With a shotgun in her hand
Funk my life up
She’s the bass, she’s the beat, she’s the rhythm, she’s the band
Just funk my life up
And the girl, so fine
Makes you wanna scream hallelujah
Sly hands, spinning webs like silk
Beats are dripping on me, like spider milk
And I never heard the warning when I woke up this morning
With my sunshine on a drip
She’s my rock, she’s my bud, she’s tequila, she’s a trip
And that girl, so fine
Makes you wanna scream hallelujah
How can I refuse?
I’m not fit to chose
Just funk my life up
I said the only way I win is the way I lose
Just funk my life up
