You - Keaton Henson

If you must wait
Wait for them here in my arms as I shake
If you must weep
Do it right here in my bed as I sleep
If you must mourn, my love
Mourn with the moon and the stars up above
If you must mourn
Don't do it alone

If you must leave
Leave as though fire burns under your feet
If you must speak
Speak every word as though it were unique
If you must die, sweetheart
Die knowing your life was my life's best part
If you must die
Remember your life

You are
You are
Oh, you are
You are, oh

If you must fight
Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night
If you must work
Work to leave some part of you on this earth
If you must live, darling one

Just live
Just live
Just live

Under wraps - Ghost Town

I unravel one by one
These bandages cover up who you really are
I take off some more
Don't know what's in store
White rags on the floor

Let's see if we can keep this lust under wraps
Three thousand years you dreamt of us, now I'm back
I'll save you from this tomb

It doesn't matter how fast I go
These linens can't control
Mystery, can't you see?
I want the person I knew
When this kingdom came crashing down
You stood and you fought and you kept our vow

How many times do I have to mention?
The scars, the imperfections are what make me want you more

Let's see if we can keep this lust under wraps
Three thousand years you dreamt of us, now I'm back
I'll save you from this tomb
To live the life we wanted to
They told me you were gone for good
Don't judge a mummy by its rags

I want the person I knew
They told me you were gone for good
Now I'm back
Three thousand years you dreamt of us

I unravel one by one
Not scared of what you've become
I unravel one by one
Our forbidden lust
Now untangled love

Let's see if we can keep this lust under wraps
Three thousand years you dreamt of us, now I'm back

Let's see if we can keep this lust under wraps
Three thousand years you dreamt of us, now I'm back
I'll save you from this tomb
To live the life we wanted to
They told me you were gone for good
Don't judge a mummy by its rags

13 minutes - A Perfect Circle

It’s funny when things go wrong
I get tired of waking
For all the things I've loved before
I'm tired of breaking

Good things are far ahead, yeah
But my patience is shaking
Only 13 minutes left
But is it worth waiting?

Would you care for me?
Cause I'm tired
Tired of all this life

Would you care for me?
Cause I feel like
I've been cut inside

Would you care for me?
Cause I'm tired
Tired of all this life

Would you care for me?
Cause I feel like
I've been cut inside

It's blatant to feel so wrong
To get hurt by the taking
Everything that I have said before
I hesitate saying

I'm crawling fast ahead, yeah
The pace that I'm making
Only 13 minutes left
But it's not worth waiting

Would you care for me?
Cause I'm tired
Tired of all this life

Would you care for me?
Cause I feel like
I've been cut inside

Would you care for me?
Cause I'm tired
Tired of all this life

Would you care for me?
Cause I feel like
I've been cut inside

Would you care for me?
Cause I'm tired
Tired of all this life

Would you care for me?
Cause I feel like
I've been cut inside

Would you care for me?
Cause I'm tired
Tired of all this life

Would you care for me?
Cause I feel like
I've been cut inside

I’ve been cut inside
I’ve been cut inside

24 - Jem

Been given 24 hours to tie up loose ends
To make amends
His eyes said it all, I started to fall
And the silence deafened
Head spinning round, no time to sit down
Just wanted to run and run and run
“Be careful”, they say, “Don't wish life away”
Now I've one day

And I can't believe, how I've been wasting my time

In 24 hours they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

Is there a heaven, a hell, and will I come back, who can tell?
Now I can see what matters to me
It's as clear as crystal
The places I've been, the people I've seen
Plans that I made start to fade
The sun's setting gold, thought I would grow old
It wasn't to be

And I can't believe, how I've been wasting my time

In 18 hours they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

In 13 hours they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it

And I can't believe, how much I've wasted my time

In just 8 hours they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

In just 1 hour they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

Beautiful blue - Holly McNarland

From the picture on the wall
To the bed post that touched them all
This is where I live
This is where I do my screaming

How do you say, “I love you”
In so many other ways?
This is where I live
This is what I do best

Dreaming with so much ugliness
Waking up to all this beautiful blue
Beautiful you

From the time I walked in
To the point that we're both arguing
This is how I live
This is where I start screaming

How do you say, “I've always felt this way”?
This is where I live
This is what I do best

Dreaming with so much ugliness
Waking up to all this beautiful blue
Is beautiful you

Dreaming under this ugliness
Waking up to all this beautiful blue

Dreaming under this ugliness
Waking up to all this beautiful blue
Beautiful you
Beautiful you

No surprise - Daughtry

(And I hope, and I hope)
I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder, I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed 'til today
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

It came out like a river, once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever, just pushing it down
It felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed 'til today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to save

Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God knows we tried to find an easier way
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise

If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this
It's easier to see the reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed 'til today (Stayed 'til today)
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
Both wrong and right, our memories (Our memories)
The whispering before we sleep
Just one more thing that you can't keep (You can't keep)

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
(And I hope, and I hope, and I hope, and I hope, and I hope)

I've gotta be me - Glee Cast

Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am?

I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up this dream of life
That keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am

That far-away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me

That far-away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me

Mockingbird - Rob Thomas

Here we stand
Somewhere in between this moment and the end
Will we bend?
Or will we open up and take this whole thing in?

Everybody else is smiling
And their smiles don't fade
And you don't even wonder why
You just don't think that way

Maybe you and me got lost somewhere
We can't move and we can't stay here
Well, maybe we've just had enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love

You and me tried everything
But still that mockingbird won't sing
Well, man, this life seems hard enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love

Take my hand
And I will lead you through the broken promise land
Yes I can, oh, yes I can
I can be there when you need it
I'll give it all 'til you can't feel it anymore

I don't wanna love you now
If you'll just leave someday
I don't wanna turn around
If you'll just walk away

Maybe you and me got lost somewhere
We can't move and we can't stay here
Well, maybe we've just had enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love

You and me tried everything
But still that mockingbird won't sing
Well, man, this life seems hard enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love

Maybe you and me got lost somewhere
We can't move and we can't stay here
Well, maybe we've just had enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love

You and me tried everything
But still that mockingbird won't sing
Well, man, this life seems hard enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love
Maybe we ain't meant for this love
Maybe we ain't meant for this love

Made to be free - Tim McMorris

Moving along, new beginnings and new ends
Spending out time, with our family and our friends
Celebrate with the cool autumn air
And we’re living out our lives as we dance without a care

Oh, we were made, yeah, we were made to be free

The year is turning over and the leaves go golden brown
The sky gets crystal clear as the temperature cools down
Life is full of colour as the seasons change around
And the birds make their beautiful sound

Amazing things are here without a catch, without a hook
But sometimes you have to search it out, or just know where to look
And in case you cannot find it, here’s a song to you from me
Sometimes it takes someone’s help so we can see

That life right here, it can be good
And a good life, yeah, it should be

Cause we were made, yeah, we were made to be free
Oh, we were made, yeah, we were made to be free

Oh, my family and friends, I keep them near
The things you love, you keep them close, that’s what I hear
We spend our time out by the fire and watch the sun slowly retire
Life is simple, I like it that way

If you cannot find the truth in what I say
Your path is hard and you are burned out every day
With each season comes a turn for things to change, to start a new
They did for me, and things can change for you too
Just remember with each day there is an opportunity

And we were made, yeah, we were made to be free
Oh, we were made, yeah, we were made to be free
We were made, yeah, we were made to be free
We were made, yeah, we were made to be free
Oh, to be free

Feels good at first - Train

Teach me to fall
And I'll teach you to sing
When life keeps stealing your melody
Around your finger I'll be a string
I will forget everything I know
About love, I don't know, about love
Sure feels good at first

I'll learn to dance
If you promise not to laugh
And I end up in a cast
From falling over
And you can't get mad
When some girl you think I have
Puts a story in your head
When I hardly know her, so
About love, I don't know, about love
Sure feels good at first

Oh, every spring there's a honey bee that stings
So things can change
Oh, every fire get too close and it reminds you
Things can change in love
But it sure feels good at first

For every heartbreak
There's a sermon to be said
And this pastor in my hands
Preaching to the choir
Don't get me wrong
Cause it's too soon to decide
But this ain't my first rodeo
When my heart's been roped and tied
In love, I don't know, about love
But it sure feels good at first

Oh, every autumn colours come that you've forgotten
So things can change
Oh, every frost some live on and some are lost
So things can change in love
But it sure feels good at first

But it sure felt good at first
