I wanted to bump this thread to post the lyrics to a beautiful song I have recently discovered.

You and Me - Lifehouse

What day is it? And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

I can't keep up and I can't back down

I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right

I'm tripping on words

You've got my head spinning

I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now

I can't quite figure out

Everything she does is beautiful

Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?

And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

Sos - Rihana

Lalala lalala la la lala la Ohhh

You know I never felt like this before

Lalala lalala la la lala la Ohhh

Feels like something real

[Verse 1]

I'm obessive when just one thought of you comes up

I'm agressive just one thought of closing up

You got me stressing, incessantly pressing the issue

Da very moment gone you know I miss you

I'm the question an you of course the answer

Just hold me close boy cause I'm your tiny dancer

You make me shaken up, heads are mistaken

But I can't control myself got me calling out for help

[Chorus (2x)]

S.O.S. please someone help me. Its not healthy for me to feel this

Y.O.U. are making this hard, I can't take it see it don't feel right

[bridge]

This time please someone come and rescue me

Cause you or my mind got me losing it

I'm lost you got me lookin for the rest of me (just testing me) but still I'm losing it

This time please someone come and rescue me cause you or my mind got me losing it

I'm lost you got me looking for the rest of me, got the best of me, so now I'm losing it

[Verse 2]

Just your presence and I second guess my insanity

Yes its a lesson and its based on my vanity

My tummy's up in knots sone as I see you I get so hot

Common sense if out the door can't seem to find a lot

Take me (uh huh) you know inside you feel it right

Take me I'ma put desire in your arms tonight

I'm out with you, ya got me head over heels

Boy you got me hanging on by the way you make me feel

[Chorus (1x)]

[bridge]

Boy you know you got me feeling open

And boy your loves enough with words unspoken

I said boy I'm feeling you, you got me open

I don't know what to do its true

I'm going crazy over you I'm begging

[Chorus (1x)]

[bridge (2x)]

[Outro]

Lala lala lala lala Ohhh

Ohh ohh lala lala lala lala oh oh

The All American Rejects

"Move Along"

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking

When you fall everyone stands

Another day and you've had your fill of sinking

With the life held in your

Hands are shaking cold

These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong

Move along, move along like I know you do

And even when your hope is gone

Move along, move along just to make it through

Move along

Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely

Could be a night when your life ends

Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving

All the pain held in your

Hands are shaking cold

Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong

Move along, move along like I know you do

And even when your hope is gone

Move along, move along just to make it through

Move along

(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong, we move along

(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong, we move along

Along, along, along

When all you got to keep is strong

Move along, move along like I know you do

And even when your hope is gone

Move along, move along just to make it through

[x3]

(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

Right back what is wrong

We move along

If I Could Be Like That - 3 Doors Down.

He spends his nights in California

Watching the stars on the big screen.

Then he lies awake and wonders

Why can't that be me?

Cause in his life he's filled with all these good intentions.

He's left a lot of things he'd rather not mention right now.

But just before he says goodnight,

He looks up with a little smile at me and he says

If I could be like that

I'd give anything

Just to live one day

In those shoes.

If I could be like that, what would I do?

What would I do?

Now and dreams we run.

She spends her days up in the north park,

watching the people as they pass.

And all she wants is just a little piece of this dream

Is that too much to ask?

With a safe home, and a warm bed, on a quiet little street.

All she wants is just that something to hold onto, that's all she needs.

Yeah

If I could be like that, I would give anything

Just to live one day, in those shoes.

If I could be like that, what would I do?

What would I do?

I'm falling into this, in dreams we run away.

If I could be like that, I would give anything

Just to live one day, in those shoes.

If I could be like that, what would I do?

What would I do?

If I could be like that, I would give anything

Just to live one day, in those shoes.

If I could be like that, what would I do?

What would I do?

If I could be like that, I would give anything

Just to live one day, in those shoes.

If I could be like that, what would I do?

What would I do?

Falling in.

I feel I am falling in to this again

Perfect - Simple Plan.

"Perfect"

Hey dad look at me

Think back and talk to me

Did I grow up according to plan?

And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?

But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it

I just want to make you proud

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

I can't pretend that

I'm alright

And you can't change me

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and

We can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

I try not to think

About the pain I feel inside

Did you know you used to be my hero?

All the days you spent with me

Now seem so far away

And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it

I just want to make you proud

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

I can't stand another fight

And nothing's alright

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and

We can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said

Nothing's gonna make this right again

Please don't turn your back

I can't believe it's hard

Just to talk to you

But you don't understand

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and

We can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and

We can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Hanson - "Broken Angel"

So small, yet still so proud

At night before he dreams he looks into the clouds

A high flyer's what I want to be

Seems they won't let me, says I'm too small

I don't feel small at all

Break my dreams, that's what they'll do

Well I'm going to run away and learn to fly like you

I'm going to go so high and swoop so low

You can't bring me down, going to be so proud

Little angel you got to learn to fly

Get up and earn your wings tonight

Little angel just look in my eyes

Get up and earn your wings tonight

Push and shove then climb aboard

This is the shuttle train to the top of the world

When you look around what do you see

These are all high flyers

But none of these high flyers look like me

What is that supposed to mean

What am I supposed to be

I pull my way up through this crowd

To find your body crushed on the ground

It's so obvious, why couldn't you see

That you can't go high flying without a pair of high-flyer wings

Little one's broken lying on the ground

Trying to get up 'till his last breath out

Wings are strune everywhere, there's blood all around

'Cause even angel's die, but that light just fades

It's so sad, but he'd be so proud

Broken angel you've got to learn to fly

Get up and earn your wings tonight

Broken angel just look in my eyes

Get up and earn you wings tonight

Get up and earn your wings, earn your wings tonight

Shut up, OK, Hanson are good. I have liked them since the beginning and their songs have helped me through some really hard times.

[Liz]

I adore this song. It makes me want somebody to sing it to me (and mean it).

Punk Rock Princess - Something Corporate

Maybe when the room is empty,

Maybe when the bottle's full.

Maybe when the door gets broke down,

Love can break in.

Maybe when I'm done with thinking,

Maybe you can think me whole.

Maybe when I'm done with endings

This can begin, this can begin

This can begin.

If you could be my punk rock princess,

I would be your garage band king.

You can tell me why you just dont fit in

And how you're gonna be something

Maybe when your hair gets darker,

Maybe when your eyes get wide,

Maybe when the walls are smaller

There will be more space

Maybe when I'm not so tired,

Maybe you could step inside

Maybe when I look for things that

I cant replace, I cant replace

I cant replace.

If you could be my punk rock princess,

I would be your garage band king.

You could tell me why you just dont fit in,

And how you're gonna be something.

If I could be your first real heartache,

I would do it over again.

If you could be my punk rock princess,

I would be your heroine.

I never thought you'd last,

I never dream you would.

You watch your life go past,

You wonder if you should.

If you should be my punk rock princess,

So I could be your garage band king.

You could tell me why you just dont fit in,

And how you're gonna be something.

If I could be your first real heartache,

I would do it over again.

If you could be my punk rock princess,

I would be your heroine.

Whoa, you know

You only burn my bridges

Whoa, you know

You just cant let it sink in

You could be my heroine,

You could be my heroine

Babylon Zoo - Spaceman

Pungent smells

They consumate my home

Beyond the black horizon

Trying to take control

See my girl

She shivers in her bones

The sun and zenith rising

Trying to take us all

Theres a fire between us

So where is your god?

Theres a fire between us

I can't get off the carousel

The sickening taste of homophobic jokes

Images of fascist folks

Beam me up 'cause I can't breathe

Spaceman

I always wanted you to go into space man.

Intergalactic christ

Its time to terminate this great white world

Morbid fascination

Television takes control

Decimation

Different races fall

Electronic information tampers with your soul

Theres a fire between us

So where is your god?

Theres a fire between us

I can't get off the carousel - I can't get of this world

The sickening taste of homophobic jokes

Images of fascist folks

Beam me up 'cause I can't breathe

Spaceman

I always wanted you to go into space man-Intergalactic christ

Babylon Zoo

Spaceman

I always wanted you to go into space man-Intergalactic christ

[Si-Co]

Does this bring back memories? I found it annoying at the time, but it has a certain nostalgic value now:

"Perfect Gentleman"

(This one's goin' out to the strip joints

Yo, meet me at Suzy's Rendez-vous

For every Go-Go Bar

I'ma send this one out to the gentlemen's clubs

Magic City, New York dogs, Rolex

I be seeing y'all up in there late at night

I understand when your girl is stressing you out

(Crazy girls) Know what I'm saying?

Don't let the ladies fool y'all now, fellas

They be doin' the same thing y'all be doin'

Turn up my symphony, man.

Turn up my symphony!

Drop a BEAT!)

[Chorus]

Just 'cuz she dances go-go

It don't make her a ho, no

Maxine, put your red shoes on

We going to the disco

We gonna eeeelope to Meeeexico

Called up my mama, said I'm in love with a stripper, yo

[Verse 1]

Ten grand, let me see you shake it like you got no

bones in your body and you was made to be a celebrity

Twenty grand, know it's a sin, but before me you show

me a little more skin it would fulfill my fantasy

Thirty grand, to the highest bidder but Chris Rock

said, 'There's no sex in the champaigne room'

Forty grand, looked into her eyes, I saw tears falling

down, type of tears that money couldn't buy

[Chorus 2X]

[Verse 2]

[Wyclef]

Excuse me, what is your name?

[Hope]

Uh, my name is Hope, yo

I was blessed with the body of the Goddesses

Have you any idea how hard this is?

I could flex in 25 positions

But I only work here to pay my tuition

Yo, tantalizing teaser

Table-top pleaser

Give me what I need a

Mastercard a Visa

Lap dance fantasy

Picture us on and on white canopy

Wyclef extended his hand to me

Like Billy D. said he's feelin me

Take me away from here, so far

Where they ride horses, no cars

No more stripping in bars

Me and you 'Clef, against the odds

[Chorus 2X]

(Yo a lot of y'all sitting with y'all girls

fronting like the budweiser commercial

Talking bout, 'IIIIIII, I don't be going to the strip joints'

You lying man! You'd be surprised who you see up in there man.

I got one question for you liars, man)

Shot callers, Wasn't you a preacher?

You calling her a hooker? He without sin cast the first stone.

I met her on the subway, she gave me that VIP card

And told me if I ever have problems,

Don't hesitate to come by, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus 2X]

Call up my mama said I'm in love with a stripper yo!

(Yo baby, can I get another lap dance? I tell you I

got nothing but funny money, man. New York Dogs.)
