Idina Menzel- Defying Gravity

Something has changed within me, something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing, too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap

It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down

I'm through accepting limits cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change, but until I try I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of losing love I guess I lost
Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down

Unlimited, my future is unlimited
And I've had a vision almost like a prophecy
I know it sounds truly crazy, and true, the vision's hazy
But I swear someday I'll be

 Flying so high, defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, defying gravity

So if you care to find me, look to the western sky
As someone told me lately, "Everyone deserves a chance to fly"
And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free
To those who ground me, take a message back from me

Tell them how I am defying gravity
I'm flying high defying gravity
And you can never bring me down

Those Quotes Tho


  • I say I don't want to talk about it. Actually, I do, but  I'm afraid of your reaction. I'm afraid that you'll never see me as an equal again. I'm afraid of the pity in your eyes when you realize how screwed up I am
  • And sometimes it hits me out of nowhere, all of a sudden, this overwhelming sadness rushes over me and I get discouraged. And I get upset. And I feel hopeless, sad, and hurt. And once again, I feel numb to the world.
  • A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are

Roxette- It Must Have Been Love

Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence in the bedroom
And all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away

It must have been love but it's over now
It must have been good but I lost it somehow
It must have been love but it's over now
From the moment we touched, until the time had run out

Make-believing we're together, that I'm sheltered by your heart
But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm
And it's a hard winters day, I dream away

It must have been love but it's over now
It must have been good but I lost it somehow
It must have been love but it's over now
From the moment we touched, until the time had run out

BTW, Pretty Woman is such a good movie!!

Keane- Somewhere Only We Know

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

C: Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place where we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

C

 And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?

C

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?

This could be then end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?


The Lion King 2- My Lullaby

Sleep, my little Kovu
Let your dreams take wing
One day when you're big and strong
You will be a king

I've been exiled, persecuted, left alone with no defense
When I think of what that brute did, I get a little tense
But I dream a dream so pretty, that I don't feel so depressed
'Cause it soothes my inner kitty, and it helps me get some rest

The sound of Simba's dying gasp
His daughter squealing in my grasp
His lionesses' mournful cry
That's my lullaby

Now the past I've tried forgetting, and my foes I could forgive
Trouble is, I know it's petty, but I hate to let them live
   So you found yourself somebody who'd chase Simba up a tree
Oh, the battle may be bloody, but that kind of works for me

The melody of angry growls
The counterpoint of painful howls
A symphony of death, oh my
That's my lullaby

 Scar is gone, but Zira's still around to love this little lad
Until he learns to be a killer with a lust for being bad
   Sleep you little termite! uh... I mean, precious little thing
One day when you're big and strong you will be a king

The pounding of drums of war, the thrill of Kovu's mighty roar
The joy of vengeance
   Testify!
I can hear the cheering
   Kovu! What a guy!

Payback time is nearing
And then our flag will fly
Against a blood red sky
That's my lullaby

Maya Matlin from Degrassi sang this

We're alone in the park and it's dark
What did we come here to do?
You say you wanna share your feelings
Yeah, well I've got feelings too
Your words are touching and I wanna be touched
Your eyes they hold me but I wanna be held
Your sentiment is evident
Your thoughts have all been heard
But c'mon boy, get to it
'Cause actions speak louder than words
Actions speak louder than words

I'm so not fine

I don't even know where to begin. Like,

  1. I'm so freaking worried about my cousin it's killing me
  2. I think I'm actually going insane
  3. I can't stop thinking about suicide and how it will effect those around me
  4. How I'm going to maintain my friends if I don't even want to know myself
  5. How the hell I'm going to explain to my boyfriend that being with him means I can check something else off my bucket list
  6. I can no longer connect with my parents like I used to
  7. I'm soooooooo sick of work already
  8. LORD JUST LET ME DIE
So that last one wasn't a reason why I'm not fine that was just me banging my head on my headboard

The Beatles- Yesterday

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go, I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go, I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mmm mmm

The Beatles- Help!

Help, I need somebody
Help, not just anybody
Help, you know I need someone, help

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed any body's help in any way
But now those days are gone and I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, and opened up the doors

C: Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

And now my life has changed in oh, so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I never have before

C

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed any body's help in any way
But now those days are gone and I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors

C

Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh

Avery Williams- Seraphina (The Impossibility of Tomorrow)

She gave me poison wine
She climbed the stair at night
She set my blood on fire
Before she took flight

Seraphina, I know you're still there
I know the light that falls upon your hair

She burns in different colors
She sees with different eyes
Her body is a vessel
For different colored skies

Seraphina, I'll love you until I'm gone
I'll search the world until you're where you belong

She's an old soul by starlight
With my blue book beside her
She's made a mistake
And it fills me with fire

Seraphina, don't you dare kiss another
I'll kill him myself if you take a lover

She's my past, she's my future
She's my renaissance bird
I won't rest until she's back
Take me at my word

Seraphina, be faithful, be true little girl
I won't stop with him, I'll destroy your whole world

She lived me in the garden
She kissed my silver soul
Without her, I am nothing
So I'll never let her go

Demi Lovato- Frozen

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried

Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know

C: Let it go, let it go, can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go, turn my back and slam the door
Here I stand, and here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on, the cold never bothered me anyway

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
Up here in the cold, thin air I finally can breathe
I know I left a life behind, but I'm to relieved to grieve

C

Standing, frozen, in the life I've chosen
You won't find me
The past is so behind me
Buried in the snow

C

Corinne Bailey Rae- Like A Star

Just like a star across my sky, just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life, feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart, just like oil on my hands
Honor to love you

C: Still I wonder why it is, I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

You've got this look I can't describe, you make me feel like I'm alive
When everything else is au fait, without a doubt you're on my side
Heaven as been away too long, can't find the words to write this song
Oh, your love

C

 Now I have come to understand, the way it is
It's not a secret any more, 'cause we've been through that before
From tonight I know that you're the only one
I've been confused and in the dark, now I understand


I wonder why it is, I don't argue with anyone like this
With anyone but you, I wonder why it is
I won't let my guard down, for anyone but you
We do it all the time, blowing out my mind

Just like a star across my sky, just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart, just like oil on my hands



Sweet Thing- Changes with Seasons

You want love, you fear it, you're attention's been shifted
You summed up the feeling, with a simple dissmissing
What you gonna do? Deceiving, it ain't you, believe it
'Cause our love ain't easy, it changes with seasons

C: Woah, yeah
Where we going, I don't know
So baby, won't you let it go?

You sewed shut the curtains, you closed out the light coming in
And all your friends you don't want near, you don't want advice, advice to hear
'Cause inside you're working, you're mending what's broken
'Cause our love ain't easy, it changes with seasons

C

Don't you worry
Won't you let it go
Baby, don't worry
Just let it go, let it go (x4)

Don't you worry
Won't you let it go
Baby, don't worry
Where we're going I don't know


Carrie Underwood- Before He Cheats

Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond tramp
And she's probably getting frisky
Right now he's probably buying her some fruity little drink
'Cause she can't shoot whisky
Right now he's probably up behind her with a pool stick
Showing her how to shoot a combo

And he don't know

C: That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up four wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights, slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

Right now she's probably up singing some white-trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now she's probably saying "I'm drunk" and he's thinking that he's gonna get lucky
Right now he's probably dabbing on some three dollars worth of that bathroom Polo

And he don't know

C

I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl
'Cause the next time that he cheats
You know it won't be on me

C

Jenny Lewis- Barking at the Moon

I have got so much to give, I swear I do
I may not have nine lives, but this one feels brand new
Yes, I've lived a good one, I have tried to be true
There are some things I never realized until I met you
How the wind feels on my cheeks when I'm barking at the moon

C: There is no home like the one you've got
'Cause that home belongs to you
Woo hoo, here I come, woo hoo, back toyou
There is no home like the one you've got
'Cause that home belongs to you

Well, I was in trouble, bad, I was so confused
I may not see in color, babe, but I can sure feel blue
I have been a lot of things, they may all not be true
My experience was so mysterious until I met you
Now the sun may rise in the east but I'm barking at the moon

I just can't fall asleep

I have the worst migraine in, quite possibly, the history of EVER. I couldn't even continue to work today, I had to go home and it's beyond terrible. I don't know why I'm blogging.

Monday, June 16, 2014

I hate how much my parents hate each other

Honestly, I do. I hate when they talk about each other behind their backs and then five seconds later act like it's all fine. I hate how they refer to each other as "your father" and "your mother". I really hate how they expect us to be their messengers and keep secrets from each other at the same time. I just hate it. It's like they never remember why they got married in the first place, it's all about why they got divorced.

Cartel- Honestly

Please don't mind what I'm trying to say, 'cause I'm, I'm being honest
When I tell you that you, you're part of the reason
I'm so set on the rest of my life being a part of you

You tell me what you think about being open, about being honest with yourself
'Cause things will never be the same

C: So I guess I'll see you, I'll see you around
I'm spinning while falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay

Don't waste time getting to the point 'cause I'm
I'm patiently waiting for your next phone call
The next excuse for losing sleep again

You tell me what you think about being open, about being honest with yourself
'Cause thing will never be the same

C

'Cause I can't stop it now, it's so amazing how
I know I can't, I could never walk away
How can we resolve this now, we let it go and wonde rhow
This can ever be the same, can never be the same

So I guess I'll see you, I'll see you around
I'm spinning while falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you, I'm begging!

'Cause I can't stop it now, it's so amazing how
I know I can't, I could never walk away

Please don't mind what I'm trying to say 'cause I'm, I'm being honest

Alana Grace- Back Roses Red

Can I ask you a question please? Promise you won't laugh at me?
Honestly I'm standing here afraid I'll be betrayed
As twisted as it seems, I only fear love when it's in my dreams
So let in the morning light and let the darkness fade away

Can you turn my black roses red?
Can you turn my black roses red?

Drowning in my lonliness, how long must I hold my breath?
So much emptiness inside I could fill the deepest sea
I reach to the sky as the moon looks on, one last year has come and gone
It's time to let your love rain down on me

Can you turn my black roses red?
Can you turn my black roses red?
'Cause
I feel like I'm living on love, I feel like I'm living on love
I feel like I'm living on love, I feel like I'm living on love
I feel like I'm living on love, I feel like I'm living on love

Can you turn my black roses red?
'Cause I'm feeling like I'll blame it on love
I'm feeling like I'll blame it on love

Imagine Dragons- Fade

Rise in the morning sun, we believe in the same ideals
But it's harder to leave when we've come this far and the end is near
Tell me what made you love just the way you do
It's the purest touch, and I wanted it too, but it seems this world won't let it be

And so will you write this down when the siren sounds
You'll remember me
'Cause this isn't meant to be turned into a memory
That stays until it fades away

Three hundred miles away, a different night, but they sky's the same
Nobody knows where you escape that you are a stranger
Show me love, I'm broke, I can't stand here on my own
If I'm going to live then I have to go, I'm danger

And so will you write this down when the siren sounds
You'll remember me
'Cause this isn't meant to be turned into a memory
That stays until it fades away

Finger Eleven- One Thing

Restless tonight 'cause I wasted the light
Between both these times I drew a really thin line
It's nothing planned and not that I can
But you should be mine across that line

C: If I traded it all, it I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out, if I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something

I promise I might not walk on by
Maybe next time, but not this time
Even though I know I don't want to know
Yeah I guess I know, I just hate how it sounds

Regina Spektor- The Call

It started out as a feeling, which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought when then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder, 'til it was a battle cry
I'll come back when you call me, no need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are as you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light
You'll come back when it's over, no need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning, it's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger, 'til they're before your eyes
You'll come back when they call you, no need to say goodbye

Friday, June 13, 2014

So added to one of my songs...

I'm writing this down with my last breath
Release is so close but it hasn't come yet
I feel the light reaching me slowly, slowly
Never really knew what I was capable of
But now it's too late, I've already had enough
I guess we'll never know

C: In my suicide, will you remember me?
Not by what I did, but by what I haven't done
Not by what I used to win, but by what I haven't won
Will you reminisce my suicide?

It was just a matter of time
Nothing means anything anymore
This life was never mine
Never found an open door

C

I don't know how I survived this long
This feeling like I don't belong
Comes flooding back but my eyes are open
They're open

In my suicide will you remember me?
No!
Because I didn't do what I should've done
Because I didn't win what I should've won
That's not worth rememberance
All that's lost in suicide

Rosanna Cash- Like Fugitives

The priest is praying for your soul, and the doctor for your heart
Someone tell me how to live now that we must live apart
Once we had a mother but that's all over now
So wish her well and let her go just as soon as you know how

C: It's a strange new world we live in where the church sends you to hell
And the lawyers get the money for the lives they divide and sell
And the only truth believed in is the the one upon the screen
So we live our lives like fugitives, and we were born to live like queens

Once we all were daughters, now we'll never hear thy name
I never think I could have learned, I just turned into the game
Don't send me no more letters with your ignorance and rage
I don't want you tired religion, not a soul you need to save

C



Taylor Swift- Mine

You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts

I say, "Can you believe it?" as we're lying on the couch
the moment I can see it, yes, yes, I can see it now

Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes

But we got bills to pay, we got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take, yes, yes, this is what I thought about

C

Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

And I remember that flight, 2:30 AM
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran crying out and you followed me into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye, 'cause that's all I've ever known
Then you took my by surprise, you said, "I'll never leave you alone"

You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine
When I look into your eyes, it's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold, and just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far to be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us
Even when the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find


I think of you
I just can't talk to you right now

I miss you
I just can't admit it right now

I need you
I just can't show you right now

I love you
I just can't tell you right now

John Legend- All of Me

What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in and you're kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind?
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be all right

My head's under water but I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

C: 'Cause all of me loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning, even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me and you give me all of you

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you

My head's underwater but I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

C

Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

You feel me?

Okay, so I can't remember if I told the blog yet that I got that guy I've been obsessing over and he is now my boyfriend of two and a half weeks and yes, the last post I wrote ("Shhh, it's a secret") was about him but that was something I wrote a week and a half ago. Wanna know why? Because I am a realist. I don't expect fairy tales, I don't expect us to go to the same college, and I do not expect a diamond ring but what I do expect is a healthy functioning relationship and hells yes that's what I got. Before you write me off as a heartless bitch I want to explain some things.
  1. I like holding hands with him
  2. I like kissing him
  3. And even though it is hella annoying I like when my friends mention him because it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy
I hate that I labeled my feelings for him as a mutual attraction because that's not what they are. They're a lot more than that. I can't actually explain it. But I know that if he read that previously mentioned post he probably hates me. But whatever 'cause I can't say this crap out loud, can you imagine?
Back to the point; yes, I am a realist. And my hopes are not set unrealistically high. But so far he has exceeded those expectations. Being a realist sucks on so many unimaginable levels because I know summer is here and he is working and I'm leaving to visit my dad and we won't be able to talk every day like we used to. But I don't give a care because I know he cares about me and he should know I care about him like, x10 that. I'd tell him but that might set his hopes unrealistically high and then where would we be?

Vanessa Hudgens- When There was Me and You

It's funny when you find yourself looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe that miracles could happen
'Cause now I have to pretend that I really don't care

I thought you were my fairy tale, a dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star that's coming true
But everybody else could tell that I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you

I swore I knew the melody that I heard you singing
And when you smiled you made me feel like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's and once upon a song

Now I know you're not a fairy tale and dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star just don't come true, I can't believe that I could be so blind
It's like you were floating while I was falling and I didn't mind
'Cause I liked the view, I thought you felt it to when there was me and you


Shhh it's a secret

There's a word I used to know that would dance on the tip of my tongue
There's a feeling I used to have that would make my knees go weak
But now as I see the world for what it truly is
I must admit, my views were so obscured

So what am I doing here, can I fake this any longer?
A hollow smile paired with attraction can hardly be called love
So when the other shoe will drop, as I believe it has
What will you do when you realize I can never love you?

There's a song I used to sing almost every Sunday
There's a chance I used to have before it all went wrong
There's a world outside of what I can barely comprehend
Now I know it was made for a reason

Is this really what you want, I can answer for you now
How foolish does this whole endeavor seem?
Now I know that I let go of this imaginary feeling
Found in stories, fairy tales, and dreams

I've already learned that mine end when I'm not sleeping
No wishing star has ever seemed so far
You're no longer an angel that was sent to keep me from reeling
Yet I can force myself to give you up

Amy Grant- Better Than a Hallelujah

God loves a lullaby in a mother's tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes
God loves the drunkard's cry, the soldier's plea not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries, God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

The woman holding on for life, the dying man giving up the fight
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes
The tears of shame for what's been done, the silence when the words won't come
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries, God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

Better than a church bell ringing
Better than a choir singing out, singing out

We pour out our miseries, God just hears a melody
Beautiful the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

Better than a Hallelujah

Les Miserables- Stars

There out in the darkness, a fugitive running
Fallen from grace, fallen from grace
God be my witness, I never shall yield
'Till we come face to face, 'till we come face to face

He knows his way in the dark, but mine is the way of the Lord
And those who follow the path of the righteous shall have their reward
And if they fall as Lucifer fell
The flame, the sword

Stars, in your multitudes, scarce to be counted filling the darkness
With order and light, you are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night, keeping watch in the night

You know your place in the sky, you hold your course and your aim
And each in your season returns and returns
And is always the same
And if you fall as Lucifer fell, you fall in flame

And so it has been, and so it is written on the doorway to paradise
That those who falter and those who fall must pay the price
Lord let me find him, that I may see him safe behind bars
I will never rest 'till then this I swear

This I swear by the stars

Les Miserables- I Dreamed A Dream

There was a time when men were kind, when their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind and the world was a song
There was a time when it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by, when hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die, I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young an unafraid, and dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid, no song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night, with their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart, as they turn your dreams to shame
He slept a summer by my side, he filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride, but he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me and we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be and there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be so different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

Les Miserables- A Little Fall of Rain

Eponine: Don't you fret,  monsieur Marius, I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain can hardly hurt me now
You're here, that's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe, and you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow

Marius: But you will live, Eponine, dear God above
If I could heal your wounds with words of love

Eponine: hold me now and let it be, shelter me, comfort me

Marius: would live a hundred years if I could show you how
I won't desert you now

Eponine: The rain can't hurt me now
This rain will wash away what's past
And you will keep me safe, and you will keep me close
I'll sleep in your embrace at last
The rain that brings you here is heaven blessed
The skies begin to clear and I'm at rest
A breath away from where you are, I've come home from so far

Both: Don't you fret monsieur Marius (Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine)
I don't feel any pain (You won't feel any pain)
A little fall of rain can hardly hurt me now (A little fall of rain can hardly hurt you now)

Marius: I'm here

Eponine: That's all I need to know

Both: And you will keep me safe (I will stay with you)
And you will keep me close ('till you are sleeping)

Eponine: And rain...

Marius: And rain...

Eponine: Will make the flowers...

Marius: Will make the flowers... grow

Semisonic- F.N.T.

Fascinating new thing, you delight me
And I know you're speaking of me
Fascinating new thing, get beside me
I want you to love me

I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely, and you're perfect
And that somebody wants you

Fascinating new thing, the scene making
Want a temporary savior
Fascinating new thing, don't betray them
By becoming familiar

I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely, and you're perfect
And that somebody wants you

I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're priceless, and you're precious
Even when you are not new

Starkid(Twisted)- 1001 Nights

Sheerezade: I know a thousand tales to fill a thousand nights
But now another story comes to mind, a nobel young vizer
Ascends to wondrous heights, he's brilliant as he's handsome
And handsome as he's kind, he is at once familiar and unknowable

To the frightened girl he meets along the way, and to the girl's suprise
Something in his eyes beckons her to know him and inspires her to say

I want to know your story, I want to know your past
So tell me slowly from the start, leave out no detail, savor every part
I want to know your story, so make the story last
I want to know each twist and turn, tell me all I've missed, I've so much to learn

For when it comes to stories, I thought I knew them all
But now I'm face to face with one I can't seem to recall

Ja'Far: The young vizier had come to help inspire change
But fate has planned an unexpected twist within the palace walls
He discovers something strange and found a missing part of him
He didn't know he missed

She's at once a comfort and a mystery, to the callow man she meets that fateful day
She's beautiful and wise, and something in her eyes
Beckons him to know her and inspires him to say

I want to know your story, I want to know your past
I want to know your future too
Fill my days and nights with the tale of you

Both: I want to know your story, so make the story last
And linger over every part, tell it until I know every bit by heart
I never cared for stories until you entered mine
And now my only wish is that our plots may intertwine

Ja'far: But I forget what happens next, I'm not sure I understand
Remind me how she answers when he asks for her hand

Sheerezade: Took you long enough! Yes! She says Yes!

Both: A thousand and one nights with you is not long enough to spend
So let's make ours a story with no end, so let's make ours a story with no end

Sad+Mad+Angry=Me

I love how my uncle died of liver cancer and he spent his whole life creating Taxol, which is a cancer fighting medicine. Like, the irony right? Yeah.
And next weekend I can't go see TFIOS with the persons because we're heading to his funeral. How fun.

Taylor Swift- Our Song

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel the other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down, he says, "Is something wrong?"
I say,  "Nothing, I was just thinking how we don't have a song"
And he says

Our song is the slamming screen door, sneaking out late
Tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow 'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her when I should have"
And when I got home, before I said "Amen" asking God if he could play it again

I was walking up the front porch steps
After everything that day had gone wrong and been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my loving bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses and the note that said

Our song is the slamming screen door, sneaking out late
Tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow 'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her when I should have"
And when I got home, before I said "Amen" asking God if he could play it again

I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song


Our song is the slamming screen door, sneaking out late
Tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow 'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her when I should have"
And when I got home, before I said "Amen" asking God if he could play it again

Oh yeah, I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song

Grace Potter- Something I Want

She's a girl with the best intentions
He's a man of his own inventions
She walked out the window, he walked out the door
But she followed him and he said, "What'cha lookin' for?"

C: She said, I want something that I want, something that I tell myself I need
Something that I want and I need everything I see

Something that I want, something that I tell myself I need
Something that I want, and I need everything I see

He's been living in a pure illusion
She's gotta come to her own conclusion
Right when you think you know what to say
Someone comes along and shows you a brand new way

C

Something that I want, something that I tell myself I need
Something that I want, and I need everything 'cause

It's so easy to make believe
It seems like you're living in a dream
Don't you see that what you need is
Standingin front of you?

C
