"Up&Up" - Coldplay

 

Fixing up a car

To drive in it again

Searching for the water

Hoping for the rain

Up and up

Up and up

 

Down upon the canvas

Working meal to meal

Waiting for a chance

To pick your orange field

Up and up

Up and up

 

See a pearl form

A diamond in the rough

See a bird soaring

High above the flood

It's in your blood

It's in your blood

 

Underneath the storm

An umbrella is saying

"Sitting with the poison

Takes away the pain"

Up and up

Up and up

 

[CHORUS:]

We're gonna get it, get it together right now

Gonna get it, get it together somehow

Gonna get it, get it together and flow

We're gonna get it, get it together, I know

Gonna get it, get it together and flow

Gonna get it, get it together and go

Up and up

And up

 

Lying in the gutter

Aiming for the moon

Trying to empty out

The ocean with a spoon

Up and up

Up and up

 

Try and see the forest

There in every seed

Angels in the marble

Waiting to be freed

Just need love, just need love

When the going is rough

 

[CHORUS]

But you can say what is

Or fight for it

Close your mind

Or take a risk

You can say "It's mine"

And clench your fist

Or see each sunrise as a gift

 

We're gonna get it, get it together right now

Gonna get it, get it together somehow

Gonna get it, get it together and flow

We're gonna get it, get it together, I know

Gonna get it, get it together and flow

Gonna get it, get it together and go

Up and up

And up

 

Fixing up a car

To drive in it again

When you're in pain

When you think you've had enough

Don't ever give up

"Across The Sea" - The Sweeplings

 

 

Follow me down to the shore

We can cast our sail and grab the oars

We could float away and not come back

Darling, if you'd just take my hand

 

Your fingertips can brush the waves

Feel the salt in the air against your face

Freedom is as far as we can see

Darling, if you just come with me

Darling, if you just come with me

 

Oh, just you and me

Oh, across the sea

Oh, Darling, if you just come with me

 

Here is where we decide

By the setting sun and rising tide

If we stay and fade or test our reach

Darling, won't you just come with me

Darling, won't you just come with me

 

Oh, just you and me

Oh, across the sea

Oh, Darling, won't you just come with me

 

Leave our note in the old oak tree

Carve it deep so they all can read

The only thing of us that's left behind

Are the words we left there in those few lines

” Broken Glass”

Jack Savoretti

 

 

“Broken Glass”

 

Broken glass on the floor by my bed

Lying next to books

I've never even read

 

Wide awake, all the mess that I made

Everything I've taken

You're the one who paid

 

Forget what I have done

Sometimes I've lost you

Sometimes I've won

 

Just let me do

Everything I can

Cause everything I do is for you

 

There's a darkness to my shadow on the wall

Everytime I try to stand

That's when I fall

 

There's a fever burning deep in my bones

Even when I'm with you

I'm on my own

 

Forget what I have done

Sometimes I've lost you

Sometimes I've won

 

 

Just let me do

Everything I can

Cause everything I do is for you

 

Mmm, I do it all for you

 

You're the lighthouse when I'm lost at sea

You're my band-aid when I bleed

Am I hypnotizing you, like you're hypnotizing me

 

Forget what I have done

Sometimes I've lost you

Sometimes I've won

 

Just let me do

Everything I can

Cause everything I do is for you

 

I do it all for you

 

Broken glass on the floor by my bed

Lying next to books

I've never even read

 

Wide awake, all the mess that I made

Everything I've taken

You're the one who paid

” How To Fight Loneliness”

Wilco

 

 

"How To Fight Loneliness"

 

How to fight loneliness

Smile all the time

Shine your teeth til meaningless

Sharpen them with lies

 

And whatevers going down

Will follow you around

Thats how you fight loneliness

You laugh at every joke

Drag your blanket blindly

Fill your heart with smoke

And the first thing that you want

Will be the last thing you ever need

Thats how you fight it

 

Just smile all the time

Just smile all the time

Just smile all the time

Just smile all the time

” Hercules”

Sara Bareilles

 

 

"Hercules"

 

I miss the days my mind would just rest quiet

My imagination hadn't turned on me yet

I used to let my words wax poetic

But it melted a puddle at my feet now

It is a calcifying crime, it's tragic

I've turned to petrified past life baggage

I want to disappear and just start over

So here we are

 

And I'll breathe again...

 

Cause I have sent for a warrior

From on my knees, make me a Hercules

I was meant to be a warrior please

Make me a Hercules

 

I've lost a grip on where I started from

I wish I'd thought ahead and left a few crumbs

I'm on the hunt for who I've not yet become

But I'd settle for a little equilibrium

There is a war inside my heart gone silent

Both sides dissatisfied and somewhat violent

The issue I have now begun to see

I am the only lonely casualty

 

This is not the end though...

 

Cause I have sent for a warrior

From on my knees, make me a Hercules

I was meant to be a warrior please

Make me a Hercules

Cause I have sent for a warrior

From on my knees, make me a Hercules

I was meant to be a warrior please

Make me a Hercules

 

This is my darkest hour

A long road has lead me out here

But I only need turn around to face the light

And decide flight or fight

 

Cause I have sent for a warrior

From on my knees, make me a Hercules

I was meant to be...

Cause I have sent for a warrior

From on my knees, make me a Hercules

I was meant to be a warrior please

Make me a Hercules

 

❤️

” Just Because”

Mary Chapin Carpenter

 

 

"Just Because"

 

Have you ever loved someone you knew nothing of

Except you'd seen the light inside their eyes

Have you ever loved someone just because

Nothing felt so easy or so right

 

And I think of you like the others do

Wondering if you think of me

And if you do, if you really do

Who is it that you see

 

Have you ever loved

Whether right or wrong

Have you ever loved someone

Just because

 

Have you ever tried to speak the truth instead of lie

When it seemed you had everything to lose

Have you ever tried to stand your ground instead of hide

When staying only made you look a fool

 

And I stayed by you though I think I knew

It wouldn't change a thing

Changes come to hearts with ease

But they come so hard to me

Have you ever tried to make it last, not knowing why

Except you had to try

Just because

 

And every day that passes now, I s'pose I'm getting older

Wiser with the things I've done

But I hope I don't grow colder

 

And now I see the ones, who've lost so much

They swear they're done

With love and all the chance it brings for pain

But have you ever touched, and by itself it was enough

To make you want to reach out once again

 

And I'll touch you when I need a friend

Or just a small reminder

That I haven't grown too cold to feel

You penetrate my armor

 

Have you ever loved

Whether right or wrong

Have you ever loved someone

Just because

Have you ever loved someone

Just because

 

 

❤️❤️❤️

"I'm Fine" - Hazel English

 

I can't deny

I'm paralyzed from the inside

Every day I wake to feel the same

 

And every time

You ask me how I'm feeling

I just smile and tell you that I'm fine

 

I don't know why

I'm terrified of everything

Just to call the doctor seems daunting

 

For most of my life

I felt a sharp uncertainty

Now its just become a part of me

 

I can't deny

I'm paralyzed from the inside

Every day I wake to feel the same

 

And every time

You ask me how I'm feeling

I just smile and tell you that I'm fine

 

It's hard to stay true to myself and to you

I can't measure up

To this girl you thought you knew

 

This aching in my heart is tearing me apart

But, Darling, all your love

Is somehow not enough

"Birds Fly (Whisper To A Scream)"

 

The Icicle Works

https://youtu.be/NVQCpI4GbKQ

 

Soho

 

Some things take forever, but with building bricks of trust and love, mountains can be moved

 

Love comes down upon us

Till it flows like water

Burning with the hope of insight

Feathered books colored with a bright elation

Stolen in the sight of love

 

[CHORUS:]

We are, we are

We are just children

Finding our way around indecision

We are, we are

We are ever helpless

Take us forever

A whisper to a scream

 

Birds fly

In the eye of the faithless daughter

Broken at the bitter end

Wasted, sacrificed for a new nirvana

Night time sends us on our way

 

[CHORUS]

 

A whisper to a scream

A whisper to a scream

A whisper to a scream

A whisper to a scream

 

We are, we are

We are just children

Finding our way around indecision

We are, we are

We are ever helpless

Take us forever

A whisper to a scream

(Repeat)

"My Silver Lining" - First Aid Kit

 

I don't want to wait anymore

I'm tired of looking for answers

Take me some place where there's music

And there's laughter

 

I don't know if I'm scared of dying

But I'm scared of living too fast, too slow

Regret, remorse, hold on

Oh no I've got to go

 

There's no starting over

No new beginnings

Time races on

And you've just gotta keep on keeping on

 

Gotta keep on going

Looking straight out on the road

Can't worry about what's behind you

Or what's coming for you further up the road

 

I try not to hold on to what is gone

I try to do right what is wrong

I try to keep on keeping on

Yeah I just keep on keeping on

 

I hear a voice calling, calling out for me

These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free

Be it for reason, be it for love

I won't take the easy road

 

I've woken up in a hotel room

Where my worries as big as the moon

Having no idea who or what or where I am

 

Something good comes with the bad

A song's never just sad

There's hope, there's a silver lining

Show me my silver lining

Show me my silver lining

 

I hear a voice calling, calling out for me

These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free

Be it for reason, be it for love

I won't take the easy road

 

I won't take the easy road

The easy road, the easy road

 

I won't take the easy road

The easy road, the easy road

 

Show me my silver lining

I try to keep on keeping on

Show me my silver lining

I try to keep on keeping on

Show me my silver lining

I try to keep on keeping on

"Dying to Live" - Edgar Winter

 

You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion

By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads

Now they say that there is humor in misfortune

You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead

 

Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight

Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight

Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try

Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die

 

Hey, you know some people say that values are subjective

But they're just speaking words that someone else has said

And so they live and fight and kill with no objective

Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead

 

Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight

Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight

Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try

Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die

 

Yeah, you know I used to weave my words into confusion

And so I hope you'll understand me when I'm through

You know I used to live my life as an illusion

But reality will make my dreams come true

 

So I'll keep fighting to live till there's no reason to fight

And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight

You know I'm trying to give so come on give me a try

You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready to die

"It's You" - Bob Seger

 

 

Just about the time I think I've had it

Everything I've planned has fallen through

Just about the time the whole thing's crumbling in

And I can't hold it back no matter what I do

 

And just about the time I feel like screaming

And finding me a wall to punch right through

I look up and I just can't help smiling

It's you

 

You're the only reason I'm still here, Girl

You're the only one who keeps me sane

Something about the way you've learned to calm me down

And see me through the anger and the pain

 

And just about the time I'm standing on the edge

And searching for a light to see me through

I look up and I can see it's shining

It's you

 

I don't really claim to understand it

I just know the way you make me feel

No one has to tell me how lucky I am

No one has to tell me that it's real

 

And just about the time I think I've lost it

I'm looking for a hole to crawl into

I look up and I just can't believe it

It's you

It's you

 

I look up

And, Honey, it's you

Oh, it's you

Getting me through

Thanks, abcd  I miss boring, peaceful and non-eventful. The things have been a little too interesting for me lately. Growing self-awareness is a good thing. Just wish it came about naturally and not as a result of psych drugs. But, it is what it is. Just barely averted a financial catastrophe, so thankfully with some better news on that front, the valium had gone down again. Can't wait to get to 10mg Valium equivalent. I'll be a happy camper at that point

 

Galaxie 500 - Decomposing Trees

 

 

My toes can talk

And they're smiling at me

"Come down," they say

Not afraid anymore

 

And they talk to me

And they smile at me

 

I walked upstream

And I sat in the mud

Life starts again

Watching trees decompose

 

And they talk to me

And they smile at me

"Lost Stars" - Adam Levine

 

Please don't see

Just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies

Please see me

Reaching out for someone I can't see

 

Take my hand

Let's see where we wake up tomorrow

Best laid plans

Sometimes are just a one night stand

 

I'll be damned

Cupid's demanding back his arrow

So let's get drunk on our tears

 

[CHORUS]

And, God, tell us the reason

Youth is wasted on the young

It's hunting season

And the lambs are on the run

Searching for meaning

But are we all lost stars

Trying to light up the dark

 

Who are we

Just a speck of dust within the galaxy

Woe is me

If we're not careful turns into reality

 

But don't you dare

Let our best memories bring you sorrow

Yesterday

I saw a lion kiss a deer

 

Turn the page

Maybe we'll find a brand new ending

Where we're dancing in our tears

 

[CHORUS]

 

And I thought I saw you out there crying

And I thought I heard you call my name

And I thought I heard you out there crying

Just the same

 

And, God, tell us the reason

Youth is wasted on the young

It's hunting season

And the lambs are on the run

Searching for meaning

But are we all lost stars

Trying to light up the dark

 

And I thought I saw you out there crying

And I thought I heard you call my name

And I thought I heard you out there crying

But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark

 

Are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark

"Fly Up To The Moon"

Black & Sam Brown

 

Gonna fly up to the moon

Raising all of my money

Can't make it too soon

I am sick of it down here

Gonna rise up to the moon

 

[CHORUS:]

So this is how the world ends

Not with a bang but with a whimping

Don't laugh too soon

I am sick of it down here

Gonna rise up to the moon

 

Who needs all the troubles of today

What's the difference anyway

I feel out of focus

What can I do

There's only you

 

[CHORUS]

 

When they open the borders

Where will you be

I'll climb the highest tree

To avoid the stampede

 

And if I should fly

Only you, you

There's only you

That would say goodbye

"Paint the Sky With Stars"

Enya

https://youtu.be/gFiXftlH7ek

 

Suddenly before my eyes

Hues of indigo arise

With them how my spirit sighs

Paint the sky with stars

 

Only night will ever know

Why the heavens never show

All the dreams there are to know

Paint the sky with stars

 

Who has placed the midnight sky

So a spirit has to fly

As the heavens seem so far

Now who will paint the midnight star

 

Night has brought to those who sleep

Only dreams they cannot keep

I have legends in the deep

Paint the sky with stars

 

Who has placed the midnight sky

So a spirit has to fly

As the heavens seem so far

Now who will paint the midnight star

 

Place a name upon the night

One to set your heart alight

And to make the darkness bright

Paint the sky with stars

[[...]]

"Gentle Moon" - Sun Kil Moon

 

Smile down on us, sun

Show your rays when things come undone

All animals lead us to light

When we cannot see

 

Stars, Saturn and moon

Glow for those who cannot get through

Rain, fall and voice, sound

For those of whom still are not found

 

Gentle moon

Find us soon

Gentle moon

Find us soon

 

Black sky and black sea

Lighten up when we can't breathe

Our dreams escape fire

Over worlds, fly but won't tire

 

Slow down on us, wind

Hold us still when everything spins

All secrets and lies

Let them out

 

Our dreams escape fire

They won't tire

Our dreams escape fire

They won't tire

 

Gentle moon

Find us soon

Gentle moon

Find us soon

 

All calendars pass

Days die off and hope cannot last

But if love is like stone

Yours was mine through to my bones

 

Oh, but how can we give

Back to those with whom we cannot live

When will the flame break

And spare the good people it takes

 

Our souls escape fire

They rise higher

Our souls escape fire

They rise higher

 

Gentle moon

Find us soon

Gentle moon

Find us soon

"All Of The Stars"

 

Ed Sheeran

 

Jackie Evancho

 

 

It's just another night

And I'm staring at the moon

I saw a shooting star and thought of you

I sang a lullaby by the waterside and knew

If you were here I'd sing to you

 

You're on the other side

As the skyline splits in two

I'm miles away from seeing you

I can see the stars from America

I wonder do you see them too

 

So open your eyes and see

The way our horizons meet

And all of the lights will lead

Into the night with me

And I know these scars will bleed

But both of our hearts believe

All of these stars will guide us home

 

I can hear your heart on the radio beat

They're playing 'Chasing Cars'

And I thought of us

Back to the time you were lying next to me

I looked across and fell in love

 

So I took your hand

Back through lamplit streets I knew

Everything led back to you

So can you see the stars over Amsterdam

You're the song my heart is beating to

 

So open your eyes and see

The way our horizons meet

And all of the lights will lead

Into the night with me

And I know these scars will bleed

But both of our hearts believe

All of these stars will guide us home

 

And, oh, I know

And oh, I know, oh

I can see the stars from America

The Sundays - Wild Horses

 

https://youtu.be/BiyCkSOF1pc

 

Childhood living is easy to do

The things that you wanted, I bought them for you

Graceless lady, you know who I am

You know I can't let you slide through my hands

 

Wild horses couldn't drag me away

Wild horses couldn't drag me away...

 

I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain

And now you've decided to show me the same

No sweeping exits or offstage lines

Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

 

Wild horses couldn't drag me away

Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away...

 

Faith has been broken and tears must be cried

Let's do some living after we die

 

Wild horses couldn't drag me away

Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away...

 

Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday

Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday

Goo Goo Dolls - Name

 

 

And even though the moment passed me by

I still can't turn away

Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose

Got tossed along the way

And letters that you never meant to send

Got lost or thrown away

 

And now we're grown up orphans

And never knew their names

We don't belong to no one

That's a shame

But you could hide beside me

Maybe for a while

And I won't tell no one your name

And I won't tell 'em your name

 

And scars are souvenirs you never lose

The past is never far

Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?

Did you get to be a star?

And don't it make you sad to know that life

Is more than who we are

 

We grew up way too fast

And now there's nothing to believe

And reruns all become our history

A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio

And I won't tell no one your name

And I won't tell 'em your name

I won't tell em' your name

Oooh, oooh, oooh

I won't tell em' your name

Ow!

 

I think about you all the time

But I don't need the same

It's lonely where you are

Come back down

And I won't tell 'em your name

"Breathe" - He Is We

 

Harness your heart and be still now

Quiet that mind that will wander

All sorts of dark alleys

 

Tragedy strikes your self esteem

Constantly waiting for an ending

To all of this

 

She opens her eyes

Suddenly she cries

Can we help her

Can we help her

And she replies

 

[CHORUS:]

You know, I fake it oh so well

That Gd himself can't tell

What I mean and why my words

Are less than parallel with my feet

You ask me what I need

And all I really need

Is to breathe

 

People they seem so interested

Only a few get invested

With all the aches and pains

 

Doctor, oh, doctor

Please help her

I fear she may not be breathing

Blue lips and dull eyes

That's her disguise

 

[CHORUS]

 

Give me some space to breathe

I need a little room to breathe

Give me some space to breathe

All I need is a little room to breathe

I fake it oh so well

That Gd can't tell

 

You know, I fake it oh so well

That Gd himself can't tell

What I mean and why my words

Are less than parallel with my feet

You ask me what I need

And all I really need

Is to breathe

 

Let me breathe

"Bend & Break" - Keane

 

When you, when you forget your name

When old faces all look the same

Meet me in the morning when you wake up

Meet me in the morning then you wake up

 

If only I don't bend and break

I'll meet you on the other side

I'll meet you in the light

If only I don't suffocate

I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

 

Bitter and hardened heart

Aching, waiting for life to start

Meet me in the morning when you wake up

Meet me in the morning then you wake up

 

If only I don't bend and break

I'll meet you on the other side

I'll meet you in the light

If only I don't suffocate

I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

I'll meet you on the other side

I'll meet you in the light

If only I don't suffocate

I'll meet you in the morning when you wake
