" Paralyzed"

Fleurie

 

 

"Paralyzed"

 

Come away for the year

Dance with me in the rain

Ooh there are places to see

Chances to take

 

I'm paralyzed, am I hypnotized?

'Cause I can't see straight at all tonight

And you're standing right here

Are you standing right here?

 

Come away for the year

Dance with me in the rain

Ooh there are places to see

Chances to take

 

I'm paralyzed, am I hypnotized?

'Cause I can't see straight at all tonight

And you're standing right here

Are you standing right here, right here?

 

 

❤️❤️❤️

"Look On Down From The Bridge" - Mazzy Star

 

Look on down from the bridge

There's still fountains down there

Look on down from the bridge

It's still raining up here

 

Everybody seems so far away from me

Everybody just wants to be free

Look away from the sky

It's no different when you're leaving home

 

I can't be the same thing to you now

I'm just gone, just gone

How could I say goodbye

How could I say goodbye

Goodbye

 

Maybe I'll just place my hands over you

And close my eyes real tight

There's a light in your eyes

And you know, yeah, you know

 

Look on down from the bridge

I'm still waiting for you

[[...]]

"The Cry" - Arena

Help me, help me, oh, help me

 

Let us share this hope

That we may close our eyes in peace

Follow what may rise from this

Standing in the halls of grace

 

Let my people go

Was the cry I heard from far away

I should have known

Not to trust every word I heard them say

 

Help me, help me, oh, help me

 

There's a face I can see

Staring back in desperation

Nowhere to turn to now

Drowning in this sea of fate

 

Don't run, don't hide

The devil will find you anywhere

We should never have lied

The sin was always there

 

Help me, help me, oh, help me

 

This choice must be free

Answers do not grow on trees

We must face our enemies

With faith in one another

 

Don't fall down, don't lie down

You can lean on me, my friend

The future may not bring us luck

But together we can go down fighting

 

Help me, help me, oh, help me

Help me, help me, oh, help me

"Your Time Will Come" - Amy Macdonald

 

Oh, the wind is gently blowing

As the light begins to fade

I'm sick and tired of playing it off

Sick of this parade

 

And your eyes are gently weeping

As the sun begins to shine

The end is coming far too soon

I wish I had more time

 

So soon your time will come

Get it out while you're still young

May all your dreams come true

For someone like you

So soon your time will come

Get it out while you're still young

May all your dreams come true

So happy for you

 

Oh my eyes are getting tired

As the day begins to break

I left it oh so far behind

My biggest mistake

 

And your smile is not like mine

It disappears from time to time

But I believe in you

And everything you'll ever do

 

So soon your time will come

Get it out while you're still young

May all your dreams come true

For someone like you

So soon your time will come

Get it out while you're still young

May all your dreams come true

So happy for you

"Fly Away From Here" - Aerosmith

 

Gotta find a way

Yeah, I cant wait another day

Ain't nothing gonna change

If we stay around here

 

Gotta do what it takes

Cause it's all in our hands

We all make mistakes

Yeah, but its never too late

To start again

 

Take another breath

And say another prayer

 

And fly away from here

Anywhere, yeah, I don't care

We just fly away from here

Our hopes and dreams

Are out there somewhere

 

We won't let time pass us by

We'll just fly

 

If this life gets any harder now

Don't ever mind

You got me by your side

And any time you want

Yeah, we can catch a train

And find a better place

Cause we won't let nothing

Or no one keep getting us down

 

Maybe you and I

Could pack our bags and hit the sky

 

And fly away from here

Anywhere, yeah, I don't care

We'll just fly away from here

All our hopes and dreams

Are out there somewhere

 

Do you see a bluer sky now

You can have a better life now

Open your eyes

Cause no one here can ever stop us

They can try but we won't let them

No way

 

Maybe you and I

Could pack our bags and say goodbye

 

And fly away from here

Anywhere, yeah, I don't care

We'll just fly away from here

All our hopes and dreams

Are out there somewhere

"Just When I Needed You" - Roberta Flack

 

http://teamwoodsadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/chengdu-babies-kissing.jpg

 

Darling angel

Somebody sent me you

And I feel alright

I won't forget how I feel tonight

Cause you're mine

You're right on time

And you look so nice 

 

Just when I needed you

You had your arms around my life

You understood

Said you could

I never dreamed you would

Be there when I needed you

You were the only land in sight

You seem to be all I need

 

Somebody sent me you and I

Somebody somewhere heard me cry

Somebody gave me you

When I needed you

 

Just when I needed you

Up in my vision in my mind

It came to me in a dream

I wondered what could it mean

And just when I needed you

You made me see that I can run

So naturally

I believed

 

Somebody sent me you and I

Somebody somewhere heard me cry

Somebody gave me you

When I needed you

"This Is The Day" - The The

https://youtu.be/aMWzYip6R30

 

Well you didn't wake up this morning

Cause you didn't go to bed

You were watching

The whites of your eyes turn red

The calendar on your wall

Was ticking the days off

 

You've been reading some old letters

You smile and think

How much you've changed

All the money in the world

Couldn't buy back those days

 

You pull back the curtain

And the sun burns into your eyes

You watch a plane flying

Across a clear blue sky

 

This is the day

Your life will surely change

This is the day

When things fall into place

 

You could have done anything

If you wanted

And all your friends and family

Think that you're lucky

 

But the side of you they've never seen

Is when you're left alone

With your memories

That hold your life together

Like glue

 

You pull back the curtain

And the sun burns into your eyes

You watch a plane flying

Across a clear blue sky

 

This is the day

Your life will surely change

This is the day

When things fall into place

"Feeling A Moment" - Feeder

 

You're feeling the moment slip away

Losing direction, you're losing faith

You're wishing for someone

Feeling it all begin to slide

Am I just like you

All the things you do

Can't help myself

 

How do you feel when there's no sun

How will you be when the rain clouds come

And pull you down again

How will you feel when there's no one

Am I just like you

 

You're turning to face what you've become

You buried the ashes of someone

Broken by the strain

Trying to fill that space inside

Am I just like you

All the things you do

Can't help myself

 

How do you feel when there's no sun

How will you be when the rain clouds come

And pull you down again

How will you feel when there's no one

Am I just like you

All the things you do

 

Don't ever feel that you're alone

I'll never let you down

I'll never leave you dry

Don't fall apart, don't let go

Carry the notion

Carry the notion back to me

 

Feeling the moment slip away

Feeling the moment slip away

 

Yes, I am just like you

 

How do you feel when there's no sun

How will you be when the rain clouds come

And pull you down again

How will you feel when there's no one

Oh cause I'm just like you

Why Wasn't I More Grateful (When Life Was Sweet)

Maria McKee

I had angels

A gang of angels by my side

Living lucky

Golden girl with an easy ride

 

Little worry

Loads of time, yeah

Wasn't it enough

Wasn't it, wasn't it enough

 

Tell me why wasn't I more grateful

Why wasn't I more grateful

Why wasn't I, why wasn't I more grateful

When life was sweet, when life was sweet

 

Some people want and want and want

What they don't have

Till it keeps ‘em awake at night

In their bed just twitching

 

Some people like to complain

About every little thing

Some folks

Just never stop bitching

 

I had a good man, I took him for granted

And now I surely, surely, surely miss him

Wasn't it enough

Wasn't it, wasn't it enough

 

Tell me why wasn't I more grateful

Why wasn't I more grateful

Why wasn't I, why wasn't I

More grateful, grateful, grateful

When life was sweet, when life was sweet

 

Why wasn't I, why wasn't I

And it keeps me wondering

What might have been

"Pure Imagination"

 

Josh Groban

https://youtu.be/vFLRpyzDgq8

Lou Rawls

 

Fiona Apple

 

Come with me and you'll be

In a world of pure imagination

Take a look and you'll see

Into your imagination

 

We'll begin with a spin

Traveling in a world of my creation

What we'll see

Will defy explanation

 

If you want to view paradise

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Want to change the world

There's nothing to it

 

There is no life I know

To compare with pure imagination

Living there you'll be free

If you truly wish to be

 

If you want to see magic lands

Close your eyes and you will see one

Want to be a dreamer, be one

Anytime you please and please save me one

 

Come with me and you'll be

In a world of pure imagination

Take a look and you'll see

Into your imagination

 

There is no place to go

To compare with your imagination

So go there to be free

If you truly wish to be

 

Living there

You'll be free

If you truly wish to be

"Thank You For Loving Me" - Bon Jovi

https://youtu.be/a1ZFkmTHTQ0

 

 

It's hard for me to say the things

I want to say sometimes

There's no one here but you and me

And that broken old street light

 

Lock the doors

Leave the world outside

All I've got to give to you

Are these five words

 

And I

Thank you for loving me

For being my eyes when I couldn't see

For parting my lips when I couldn't breathe

Thank you for loving me

Thank you for loving me

 

I never knew I had a dream

Until that dream was you

When I look into your eyes

The sky's a different blue

 

Cross my heart

I wear no disguise

If I tried you'd make believe

That you believed my lies

 

Thank you for loving me

For being my eyes when I couldn't see

For parting my lips when I couldn't breathe

Thank you for loving me

 

You pick me up when I fall down

You ring the bell before they count me out

If I was drowning you would part the sea

And risk your own life to rescue me

 

Lock the doors

Leave the world outside

And all I've got to give to you

Are these five words

 

And I

Thank you for loving me

For being my eyes when I couldn't see

For parting my lips when I couldn't breathe

 

Thank you for loving me

When I couldn't fly, oh, you gave me wings

You parted my lips when I couldn't breathe

Thank you for loving me

 

Thank you for loving me

Thank you for loving me

Oh, for loving me

" Bad Dream"

Ruelle

 

 

"Bad Dream"

 

Feels like I'm falling, into the world

Into the world

I can't control it

I hear it calling

Down in my soul

Gripping my bones

It won't let go

 

Wake me up

Won't you wake me up?

Caught in a bad dream

Caught in a bad dream

Wake me up

I wanna feel the sun

Caught in a bad dream

Caught in a bad dream

 

Feels like I'm frozen

Nowhere to run, nowhere to run from you

This walls are closing

Closing me in

Wearing me thin with fear

 

Wake me up

Won't you wake me up?

Caught in a bad dream

Caught in a bad dream

Wake me up

I wanna feel the sun

Caught in a bad dream

Caught in a bad dream

 

Caught in a bad dream

Caught in a bad dream

 

Wake me up

Won’t you wake me up?

Caught in a bad dream

Caught in a bad dream

"As Far As I Could Get"

Florence + The Machine

 

https://youtu.be/uBSebpy3Imo

 

 

"As Far As I Could Get"

 

In the celestial vaults

I drew bedraggled breaths

Because I am unloved

I went as far as I could get

In the cedars like sparks

Wasting my goddamn time

 

Past the museum of death

And the mad man yelling answers

I sail on new beginnings

And psychics taking chances

In the cedars like sparks

Wasting my goddamn time

 

As far as I could get

I went as far as I could get

In the cedars like sparks

Wasting my goddamn time

 

Past the spires and the temple

Looking like a Disney castle

As far as I could get

Past the girls late for rehearsal

Oh, a pirate on the left

And Jesus on the right

And the Pacific sweeps through

Like a bird in flight

 

Oh, as far as I could get

I went as far as I could get

In the cedars like sparks

Wasting my goddamn time

 

Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too

Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too

 

As far as I could get

I went as far as I could get

I went as far as I could get

I went as far as I could get

 

Past the city and the cement

The cemetery standing still

Past the mountain and the monument

The houses and the hills

Past the signs and the sirens

The sinners and the saints

I went as far as I could get...

 

Past the hallowed and the horror

The humbled and agreed

I went as far as I could get

Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too

 

As far as I could get

As far as I could get

As far as I could get

And I'm not far enough yet

 

I went as far as I could get

I went as far as I could get

I went as far as I could get

And I'm not far enough yet

And I'm not far enough yet

And I'm not far enough yet

"All Cleaned Out" - Elliott Smith

 

Here come your pride and joy

The comic little drunk you call your boy

Making everybody smile

Who takes your pretty plan

And then becomes a disappearing man

After a little while

 

I saw you with your make-up running down

Now what's that all about

You say you don't want anyone around

Cause you're all cleaned out

 

You toss the empty beer

Not really as composed as you appear

An icicle inside

Wearing clothes that clash

Wondering is this treasure is this trash

Still trying to decide

 

And about 5 o'clock here comes your clown

With the foot he's throwing down

But all you say is you don't want anyone around

Come not right now

There ain't nothing to dream

You don't want to think about it

 

I'm sorry you seem so stumped

And I'm sorry you think you have to hold your tongue

When you're so pretty and smart

I'm seeing you caving in

Becoming afraid of all these men

That you've given your heart

 

I saw you with your make-up running down

Now what's that all about

You say you don't want anyone around

Cause you're cleaned out

All cleaned out

All cleaned out

"In This River" - Black Label Society

I've been around this world

Yet I see no end

All shall fade to black

Again and again

This storm that's broken me

My only friend

 

In this river

All shall fade to black

In this river

Ain't no coming back

In this river

All shall fade to black

Ain't no coming back

 

Withdrawn I step away

Just to find myself

The door is closed again

The only one left

This storm that's broken me

My only friend

 

In this river

All shall fade to black

In this river

Ain't no coming back

In this river

All shall fade to black

Ain't no coming back

"Song Bird" - Frally

You're the only reason

That I come back to this town

You're the only face

I want to see

 

From the bootheel of Missouri

To the hills of Tennessee

There's places you've outgrown

Or swallowed whole

 

And I feel like a traitor

Singing in your stead

You know there's only one thing

You're cut out for

 

Oh, why won't you

Oh, why won't you

 

Well, there's a million teardrops

Beneath that small town smile

The more you love

The closer you are to crying

 

You got tired of traveling

Tired of being gone

And tired of business

Pushing you around

 

Oh, why won't you

Oh, why won't you sing

 

Well, it's not the land of my birth

But it's what I've come to know

Those country tunes lay buried

In your bones

 

And there's a band of angels

That follow you around

 

Oh, why won't you

Oh, why won't you

Oh, why won't you sing

"Dreamweaver" - Gary Wright

I've just closed my eyes again

Climbed aboard the dreamweaver train

Driver, take away my worries of today

And leave tomorrow behind

 

Oh dreamweaver

I believe you can get me through the night

Oh dreamweaver

I believe we can reach the morning light

 

Fly me high through the starry skies

Maybe to an astral plane

Cross the highways of fantasy

Help me to forget today's pain

 

Oh dreamweaver

I believe you can get me through the night

Oh dreamweaver

I believe we can reach the morning light

 

Though the dawn may be coming soon

There still may be some time

Fly me away to the bright side of the moon

And meet me on the other side

 

Oh dreamweaver

I believe you can get me through the night

Oh dreamweaver

I believe we can reach the morning light

Fly me high through the starry skies

Maybe to an astral plane

Cross the highways of fantasy

Help me to forget today's pain

"Save Me from Myself" - Christina Aguilera

https://youtu.be/HYxmS4UNrWY

 

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2006-01/04/xin_07010304071225017756.jpg

It's not so easy loving me

It gets so complicated

All the things you've gotta be

Everything's changing

But you're the truth

I'm amazed by all your patience

Everything I put you through

 

When I'm about to fall

Somehow you're always waiting

With your open arms to catch me

You're gonna save me from myself

From myself, yes

You're gonna save me from myself

 

My love is tainted by your touch

Cause some guys have shown me aces

But you've got that royal flush

I know it's crazy every day

Well, tomorrow may be shaky

But you never turn away

 

Don't ask me why I'm crying

Cause when I start to crumble

You know how to keep me smiling 

You always save me from myself

From myself, myself

You're gonna save me from myself

 

I know it's hard, it's hard

But you've broken all my walls

You've been my strength, so strong

 

And don't ask me why I love you

It's obvious your tenderness

Is what I need to make me

A better woman to myself

To myself, myself

You're gonna save me from myself
