Hootie and the Blowfish - Time

 

 

Time, why you punish me?

Like a wave crashing into the shore

You wash away my dreams

Time, why you walk away?

Like a friend with somewhere to go

You left me crying

 

Can you teach me about tomorrow

And all the pain and sorrow, running free?

Cause tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in time

 

Time, I don't understand

Children killing in the street

Dying for the color of a rag

Time, take their red and blue

Wash them in the ocean, make them clean

Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight

 

Can you teach me about tomorrow

And all the pain and sorrow, running free?

But tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in...

 

Time is wastin', time is walkin'

(Time, time) You ain't no friend of mine

(Time, time) I don't know where I'm goin'

(Time, time) I think I'm out of my mind...

Thinkin' about time

And if I die tomorrow, yeah

Just lay me down to sleep

 

Oh, no no, no no

 

Time is wastin', time is walkin'

(Time, time) You ain't no friend of mine

(Time, time) I don't know where I'm goin'

(Time, time) I think I'm out of my mind...

Thinkin' about time

 

Time, you left me standing there

Like a tree growin' all alone

The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare

Time, the past has come and gone

The future's far away

Well, now only lasts for one second, one second

 

Can you teach me about tomorrow

And all the pain and sorrow, running free?

Cause tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in time

 

(Time, time, time, time) You ain't no friend of mine

(Time, time) I don't know where I'm goin'

(Time, time) I think I'm out of my mind

(Time) Walkin', (Time) wasted

(Time, time) You ain't no friend of mine

(Time, time) I don't know where I'm goin'

(Time, time) No, no no no

 

Time without courage, time without fear

Is just wasted, wasted, wasted time

Oh...

 

Time, why you punish me?

[[Lo...]]

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

[[...]]

Hootie and the Blowfish - Time

 

 

Time, why you punish me?

Like a wave crashing into the shore

You wash away my dreams

Time, why you walk away?

Like a friend with somewhere to go

You left me crying

 

Bingo that! 

Hope you're doing okay, LF.

"Just Feel Better"

Santana feat. Steven Tyler

She said

"I feel stranded and I can't tell anymore

If I'm coming or I'm going

It's not how I planned it

I've got a key to the door but it just won't open"

 

And I know, I know, I know

Part of me says let it go

That life happens for a reason

I don't, I don't, I don't

Because it never worked before

But this time, this time

 

[CHORUS:]

I'm gonna try anything to just feel better

Tell me what to do

You know I can't see through the haze around me

And I'll do anything to just feel better

 

And I can't find my way

Girl I need a change

And I'll do anything to just feel better

Any little thing that just feels better

 

She said

"I need you to hold me

I'm a little far from the shore

And I'm afraid of sinking

You're the only one who knows me

And who doesn't ignore that my soul is weeping"

 

I know, I know, I know

Part of me says let it go

Everything must have a season

Round and round it goes

And every day's the one before

But this time, this time

 

[CHORUS]

 

I can't find my way

God, I need a change

And I'd do anything to just feel better

Any little thing that just feels better

 

I'm tired of holding on

To all the things I ought to leave behind, yeah

It's really getting old

And I think I need a little help this time

 

I'm gonna try anything to just feel better

Tell me what to do

You know I can't see through the haze around me

And I'll do anything to just feel better

 

And I can't find my way

God, I need a change

And I'll do anything to just feel better

Any little thing that just feels better

"Deep Waters" - Burning Hearts

 

When you stood there on the bridge

Did you see the stars

Did you feel the wind

And could you hear the waves

Underneath your feet

 

When you stared down at your toes

Didn't you understand the importance

Of keeping your feet on the ground

Was there not a thing

That could keep your thoughts

From sinking into the water

 

What a heavy burden you've carried

A heart full of stones

It anchored all your sorrow forever

To the sea floor

 

When you stared down at your toes

Didn't you understand the importance

Of keeping your feet on the ground

Was there not a thing

That could keep your thoughts

From sinking into the water

"Take Me Away" - Oasis

 

Just when it falls apart and when it's time to start

Will you sit down here for another day

And when it's time to be all the things that we

Are wishing away for another day

 

Cause me and my soul we know where we're going

We're going where the grass is green

The air is clean and the good times are growing

 

So take me away just for today

Cause I'm sad here on my own

I'd like to be under the sea

Where they'd probably need a phone

 

And just when it falls apart

And just when it's time to start

Will you sit down here for another day

 

Cause me and my soul we know where we're going

We're going where the grass is green

The air is clean and the good times are growing

 

So take me away just for today

Cause I'm sad here on my own

I'd like to be under the sea

Where they'd probably need a phone

 

I could be you

If I wanted to

But I've never got the time

You could be me

And pretty soon you will be

But you're gonna need a line

 

Need a line

Need a line

Need a line

"Flying As She Falls" - Heather Nova

The leaves have turned and she has known

And she tells me she can't let him go

And she looks to the moon for answers

And she looks inside and she knows

 

She dresses by the window

Finds reflection in the pane

She looks towards the winter

And her hair falls around her like rain

 

[CHORUS:]

She's sighing with September

She would like to run and hide

She's wrapped up in confusion

She unfolds like paper dolls

But she's flying as she falls

 

The birds have gone and she has not

For she follows the arc of their flight

And the softness has gone from the daylight

And the shadows have grown into night

 

[CHORUS]

 

Soon will come cool October

It will rise all around her like fire

And she gathers her courage like harvest

And she gathers her thoughts and desires

She's sighing with September

She would like to run and hide

She's wrapped up in confusion

She unfolds like paper dolls

But she's flying as she falls

 

She will not run and hide

She will take it all in stride

And she will

She will

She will be flying as she falls

"Perfect For Me" - Ron Pope

 

http://www.worldatlas.com/r/w1200-h630-c1200x630/upload/13/0b/7f/shutterstock-540280585.jpg

 

You sit in the bathroom and you paint your toes

I sit on the bed right now and I sing you a song

It's not always easy but somehow our love stays strong

If I can make you happy, then this is where I belong

 

[CHORUS:]

And I'd just like to say

I thank God that you're here with me

And I know you too well to say you're perfect

But you'll see, oh my sweet love, you're perfect for me

 

I know all your secrets and you know all of mine

You're always there to hold me up when I'm losing my mind

I wish that I was stronger so that I had more to give

I'll share everything I have and we'll find a way to live

 

[CHORUS]

 

Even after all this time, nothing else I ever find

In this whole wide world can shake me like you do

It's true that something so sublime

That there aren't words yet to describe

The beauty of this life I've made with you

 

And I'd just like to say

I thank God that you're here with me

And I know you too well to say you're perfect

But you'll see, oh my sweet love, you're perfect for me

And I know you too well to say you're perfect

But you'll see, oh my sweet love, you're perfect

Oh my love, I swear you're perfect

Yes I promise

You're perfect for me

Air Formation - Adrift

 

https://youtu.be/6_EnFKFrWY4

 

If only I'd have waited to say those words

Can't escape my thoughts of you

How long have I been on your mind?

 

Try to decide what's right

 

If only I'd have sensed I'd be set adrift

If only I'd found a way round it

Guide me away to safer shores

Take me away from it all

 

Take me away from it all

Take me away from it all

"Undertow"

Leonard Cohen & Anjani Thomas

 

I set out one night

When the tide was low

There were signs in the sky

But I did not know

 

I'd be caught in the grip

Of the undertow

Ditched on a beach

Where the sea hates to go

 

With a child in my arms

And a chill in my soul

And my heart the shape

Of a begging bowl

 

I set out one night

But I did not know

 

I'd be caught in the grip

Of the undertow

Ditched on a beach

Where the sea hates to go

 

With a child in my arms

And a chill in my soul

And my heart the shape

Of a begging bowl

"On My Way Back Home"

Band Of Horses

 

On my way back home

By chance I thought of all my favorite songs

And where I'd gone wrong

 

The only words that I could think of

I'm pissing my life away in the form of a song

On my way back home

 

Every step a victory it was

I was cheating death

Just in time I awoke

 

My memories start to wander off

Come to me, remembrance of

My way back home

 

I came in this way

And here now I'll stay

In the unknown have to wait one more day

 

There's often times that it comes out wrong

But luckily I got a mind to know

I'm on my way back home

"Young Birds Fly" - The Cryan' Shames

 

What's gone wrong with Mary

I hear them say

Mary's not the Mary

Of yesterday

 

She's gone to changing her hair

She laughs and she cries

And her life seems to be

A worried and jumbled affair

 

Well I have talked to Mary

I've searched her eyes

And if you ask of Mary

She'll tell you why

 

It's Mary's time to run

Through the mad, through the sane

Through the joy and the pain

Till she finds her place in the sun

 

Young birds fly in early spring

They learn new songs to sing

And each song they know

Can help them to grow

 

Mary questions everything

She's ever known before

And warn her as we may

She just won't listen anymore

 

So let her find her way

And soon will come

Her glorious day

 

When everything's been sorted through

The streets will be reported

How the people congregate

To feel the love within her heart

And to listen to the music in her mind

 

Young birds fly in early spring

They learn new songs to sing

And each song they know

Can help them to grow

 

Fly in early spring

Learn new songs to sing

Fly in early spring

Learn new songs to sing

Fly in early spring

Learn new songs to sing

"Don't You Worry, Love" - Oh Honey

 

When your head feels heavy

And you’re walking alone

When the road is empty

And everything you own is broken or sold

 

Light will always find its way in

Into the cracks of the night

Open your eyes

 

[CHORUS:]

When the world gets dark

Don’t you worry, love

And the demons

Let them starve

Don’t you worry, love

 

When the air gets colder

Don’t let your heart turn to stone

Let the weight fall off your shoulders

And know in the end you’ll find your way home

 

Light will always find its way in

Into the cracks of the night

Open your eyes

 

[CHORUS]

 

The fear in my chest

Is burning fire red

You know, you know, you know

My love is turning blue

I’d never lie to you

 

There’s hope

There’s hope

There’s hope

 

When the world gets dark

Don’t you worry, love

And the demons

Let them starve

Don’t you worry, love

"Better Place" - Rachel Platten

 

 

I'll tell the world

I'll sing the song

It's a better place since you came along

Since you came along

 

Your touch is sunlight through the trees

Your kisses are the ocean breeze

Everything's alright when you're with me

 

And oh, you're my favorite thing

Oh, all the love that you bring

Well, it feels like I've opened my eyes again

And the colors are golden and bright again

There's a song in my heart

I feel like I belong

 

It's a better place since you came along

It's a better place since you came along

 

I see the whole world in your eyes

It's like I've known you all my life

We just feel so right

 

So I pour my heart into your hands

It's like you really understand

You love the way I am

 

And oh, you're my favorite thing

Oh, all the happiness you bring

But it feels like I've opened my eyes again

And the colors are golden and bright again

And the sun paints the skies

And the wind sings our song

 

It's a better place since you came along

It's a better place since you came along

 

Now I'm alright, now I'm alright

Everything's alright

 

Cause it feels like I've opened my eyes again

And the colors are golden and bright again

There's a song in my heart

I feel like I belong

 

It's a better place since you came along

It's a better place since you came along

"Cry Pretty" - Carrie Underwood

 

I'm sorry but I'm just a girl

Not usually the kind

To show my heart to the world

I'm pretty good

At keeping it together

I hold my composure

For worse or for better

 

So I apologize

If you don't like what you see

But sometimes my emotions

Get the best of me

And falling apart

Is as human as it gets

You can't hide it

You can't fight what the truth is

 

[CHORUS:]

You can pretty lie and say it's okay

You can pretty smile and just walk away

Pretty much fake your way through anything

But you can't cry pretty

 

Oh no, you can’t dress it up

In lace or rhinestones

It don't matter if you're in a crowd

Or home all alone

Yeah, it's all the same

When you're looking in the mirror

A picture of pain

So let it flow like a river

 

[CHORUS]

 

You can't turn off the flood when the dam breaks

When all your mascara is going to waste

When things get ugly, you just gotta face

That you can't cry pretty

Oh no, you can't

(x2)

 

No, you can't cry

No, you can't cry

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

You can't cry

You can't cry pretty

No, you can't cry pretty

"Night Flight" - Led Zeppelin

 

I received a message from my brother across the water

He sat laughing as he wrote the end's in sight

So I said goodbye to all my friends

And packed my hopes inside a matchbox

Cause I know it's time to fly

 

[CHORUS]

Come on, meet me in the morning

Meet me in the middle of the night

The morning light is coming

Don't it make you wanna go and feel alright

 

I just jumped a train that never stops

So now somehow I'll know

I never finished paying for my ride

Just someone pushed a gun into my hand

Tell me I'm the type of man to fight the fight that I'll require

 

[CHORUS]

 

Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leaving

Nothing here to make me stay

Whoa, mama, well it must be time I'm going

They're knocking down them doors

They're trying to take me away

 

Please Mr. Brakeman

Won't you ring your bell

And ring it loud and clear

Please Mr. Fireman

Won't you ring your bell

Tell the people they got to fly away from here

 

I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby

Southern lady had a very, very special smile

We are in the middle of a change in destination

When the train stops, all together we will smile

 

Come on, meet me in the morning

Meet me in the middle of the night

The morning time is coming

Don't it make you wanna feel alright

Make me feel alright

 

Fly now, baby

Get to flying

Fly now, baby

"Sweet Frustration" - Audiovent

 

I feel

I'm walking through this my life

Paralyzed

But this sweet frustration

Keeps me alive

 

It seems like

I have died a thousand days

Just to feel this quicksand

And every movement is embraced

By this sweet frustration

 

Pain

From throwing my insides out

Only to decompose

Right in front of my eyes

 

It seems like

I have died a thousand days

Just to feel this quicksand

And every movement is embraced

By this sweet frustration

 

And someday my sweet frustrations will bloom

And someday my sweet frustrations will bloom

I won't die another day

No more sweet frustration

 

I have died a thousand days

Just to feel this quicksand

And every movement is embraced

By this sweet frustration

"Alive" - Jennifer Lopez

 

Time goes slowly now in my life

Fear no more of what I'm not sure

Searching to fill your soul

The strength to stand alone

The power of not knowing and letting go

 

I guess I've found my way

It's simple when it's right

Feeling lucky just to be here tonight

And happy just to be me

And be alive

 

Love, in and out of my heart

And though life can be strange

I can't be afraid

Searching to fill your soul

The strength to stand alone

The power of not knowing and letting go

 

I guess I've found my way

It's simple when it's right

Feeling lucky just to be here tonight

And happy just to be me

And be alive

"For Always"

Lara Fabian & Josh Groban

 

 

I close my eyes

And there in the shadows

I see your light

You come to me out of my dreams

Across the night

 

You take my hand

Though you may be so many stars away

I know that our spirits and souls are one

 

We've circled the moon

And we've touched the sun

So here we'll stay

 

For always

Forever

Beyond here and on to eternity

For always

Forever

 

For us there's no time and no space

No barrier love won't erase

Wherever you go is to know

In my heart you will be with me

 

From this day on

I'm certain that I'll never be alone

I know what my heart must have always known

That love has a power that's all its own

 

For always

Forever

Now we can fly

And for always and always

We will go on beyond goodbye

 

For always

Forever

Beyond here and on to eternity

For always

And ever

You'll be a part of me

 

For always

Forever

A thousand tomorrows may cross the sky

And for always and always

We will go on beyond goodbye

"You Don't Know" - Katelyn Tarver

 

I know you've got the best intentions

Just trying to find the right words to say

I promise I've already learned my lesson

But right now I wanna be not okay

 

I'm so tired, sitting here waiting

If I hear one more "Just be patient"

It's always gonna stay the same

 

[CHORUS:]

So let me just give up

So let me just let go

If this isn't good for me

Well, I don't wanna know

Let me just stop trying

Let me just stop fighting

I don't want your good advice

Or reasons why I'm alright

You don't know what it's like

You don't know what it's like

 

Can't stop these feet from sinking

And it's starting to show on me

You're staring while I'm blinking

But just don't tell me what you see

 

I'm so over all this bad luck

Hearing one more "Keep your head up"

Is it ever gonna change

 

[CHORUS]

 

Don't look at me like that

Just like you understand

Don't try to pull me back

 

Let me just give up

Let me just let go

If this isn't good for me

Well, I don't wanna know

Let me just stop trying

Let me just stop fighting

I don't want your good advice

Or reasons why I'm alright

You don't know what it's like

You don't know what it's like

 

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know what it's like

You don't know what it's like

 

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know what it's like

You don't know what it's like

"Someone To Stay"

Vancouver Sleep Clinic

 

You were alone left out in the cold

Clinging to the ruin of your broken home

Too lost and hurting to carry your load

We all need someone to hold

 

You've been fighting the memory all on your own

Nothing worsens, nothing grows

I know how it feels being by yourself in the rain

We all need someone to stay

We all need someone to stay

 

[CHORUS:]

Hear the fallen and lonely cry out

Will you fix me up, will you show me hope

The end of the day and we're helpless

Can you keep me close

Can you love me most

 

You've drunk it down and you spat it out

And nothing tastes like the things you had

So turn it off, why don't you let them go

We all need someone to stay

We all need someone to stay

 

[CHORUS]

 

Can you keep me close

Can you love me most

(x2)

 

You were alone left out in the cold

Clinging to the ruin of your broken home

 

[CHORUS]

 

Can you keep me close

Can you love me

 

Hear the fallen and lonely cry out

Will you fix me up, will you show me hope

The end of the day and we're helpless

 

Can you keep me close

Can you love me most

"Flight Of The Wild Geese"

Joan Armatrading

 

Sad are the eyes, yet no tears

The flight of the wild geese

Brings a new hope

Rescued from all this

 

Old friends

And those newly found

What chance to make it last

When there's danger all around

 

And reason

Just ups and disappears

Time is running out

With so much to be done

 

Tell me what more

What more

What more can we do

 

There were promises made

Plans firmly laid

Now madness prevails

Lies fill the air

 

What more

What more

What more can we do

 

What chance to make it last

What more

What more can we do

"We All Need Saving"

Jon McLaughlin

Come on, come on

You have got to move on

This is not the you I know

 

This isn't real, it's just all you can feel

And that's the way that feelings go

And whether or not it's right or wrong

You'll do what you will do

 

[CHORUS:]

But when the cloud in the sky starts to pour

And your life is just a storm you're braving

Well, don't tell yourself

You can't lean on someone else

Cause we all need saving sometimes

 

Say what you will

But the time that we fill

While we're on the earth

Should not be alone

 

We were meant to be known

And you make me what I'm worth

But I can't keep you from yourself

You'll do what you will do

 

[CHORUS]

 

I don't know why it has to be this way

And I don't know the cure

But please believe

Someone else has felt this before

 

But when the cloud in the sky starts to pour

And your life is just a storm you're braving

Well, don't tell yourself

You can't lean on someone else

Cause we all need saving

We all need saving sometimes

Sometimes
