This Is Why We Don't Have Nice Things
by A Day At The Fair
I guess it's where we have to let it end
It seems our best intentions came up short on us again
Can you see the sunset from your highway?
And can you leave those plans for us behind?
'Cause broken hearts they mend
To fall in love again
You won't see me breaking
When I leave your keys, there, on the nightstand
And lock the door so I can't walk in
And make sense of this
When there's no sense to this
When I break a window
Cut my hand, shattered glass
I'll climb back in
Lose my head again
Wonder where it ever went
This is where we found ourselves again
The same old resolution loses meaning once again
And can you see the sunset in New Jersey?
And can you leave that place we knew behind?
'Cause love, it tries to bend
The breaking point within
You won't catch me waiting
When I leave your keys, there, on the nightstand
And lock the door so I can't walk in
And make sense of this
There's no sense to this
When I break a window
Cut my hand, shattered glass
I'll climb back in
Lose my head again
Wonder where it ever went
Wonder where you went
There times I can't pretend
That I felt home again
So I'll keep waiting
When I leave your keys, there, on the nightstand
And lock the door so I can't walk in
And make sense of this
There's no sense to this
When I break a window
Cut my hand, shattered glass
I'll climb back in
Lose my head again
Wonder where it ever went
Wonder where we went

Second Place Victory
by This Day and Age
It's breath taking to think of you
And to learn that sometimes
The only way out is through
It's mindnumbing
To think of yesterday
I'd run to you now if I could
But things have changed
I heard you say
It's enlightening to think of the breeze
To believe in things that we can't see
So here we go
Let's show them how to live
Accept the pain, always forgive
Watch the sun go down
Learn the sound of following
All that's complete
It's breath taking to think of you
And to learn without faith
The sky isn't as blue
It's mindnumbing to think of yesterday
We'll look towards the stars
And dream that we're airplanes
I heard you say
It's enlightening to think of the breeze
When you watch the sunset
Think of me

Best Mistake
by JamisonParker
I chronicled the days you made me want to live
Memorized the way that it felt
And then I turned it into this kiss
Tonight I'm wearing my best smile
And hope to make me worth your while
I'll be the best mistake you'll ever make
From the lack of sleep and the bloodshot eyes
To the nervous kiss and the butterflies
Does this make any sense at all?
She said
We're not sleeping and I'm not breathing
If this means anything at all
I won't let you leave me anymore
If this holds insignificance,
I'll have the hearse follow the ambulance
No medicine exists to make my lungs work again
Let's shake and burn, like an addict
My hearing's dead, only static
If I said your smiles all that mattered
Would you save my life?
We're not sleeping and I'm not breathing
If this means anything at all
Don't let me leave you anymore
Don't let me leave you anymore

Of All The Jin Joints In All The World
by Fall Out Boy
You only hold me up like this
'Cause you don't know who I really am
Sometimes I just want to know what it's like to be you
We're making out inside crashed cars
We're sleeping through all our memories
I used to waste my time dreaming of being alive
Now I only waste it dreaming of you
Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness
'Cause all of our moves make up for the silence
And oh, the way your makeup stains my pillowcase
Like I'll never be the same
You only hold me up like this
'Cause you don't know who I really am
I used to waste my time on
Waste my time dreaming of being alive
Now I only waste it dreaming of you
Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness
'Cause all of our moves make up for the silence
And oh, the way your makeup stains my pillowcase
Like I'll never be the same
I've got headaches and bad luck but they couldn't touch you, no
I've got headaches and bad luck but they couldn't touch you, no
Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness
'Cause all of our moves make up for the silence
And oh, the way your makeup stains my pillowcase
Like I'll never be the same

A Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever, And A Necklace
by Bright Eyes
You turn on a spindle
You are so much looser now
But you're not explaining how
You gained such new repose
I touch the clasp of your locket
With its picture held
Some secret you wouldn't tell
But let it choke your neck
So we imagine a darkness
Where all shapes divide
Solids changing into light
With a burst of heat so bright
Well fine, don't you do what I want you to
Don't degrade yourself the way I do
Because you don't depend
Upon all the shit that I use
To make my moods improve
Near a sea of pianos
There were waves of chords
That crashed against the shore
In one huge and useless roar
And there were girls bringing water
Like a dream they came
To cure the fever of my brain
And soothe my burning throat
And they made me a necklace
Hanging beads of sweat
On a string of my regrets
And placed it 'round my neck
And they were singing
Don't you do what you've wanted to
Yeah, don't destroy yourself
Like those cowards do
And maybe the sun keeps coming up
Because it has gotten used to you
And your constant need for proof

My Life Is At Home
by The Promise Ring
I was just thinking most of last Wednesday
I hope we're together from here until doomsday
We coud be each other's arms
We'd keep each other free from harm
'Cause wehn it's all stripped to the bone
My life is at home
The sping cleaning's coming as we lose the cold weather
So, put away your long johns, all your thick sweaters
And we'll cut off all our winter hair
Sit out on the lawn chairs
The sun forgets that we're here
We forget our careers
But all the lukewarm weeks
Sixty degrees
Now we're hoping it's humid
Show our sun-burned knees
Once in a lifetime
Once in awhile
The sun will shine on me
It's Thursday, I'm leaving
Skip town, I'm runnin'
It's cars and new faces
And jokes that aren't funny
But we laugh at them anyway
Do anything just to kill the day
No matter how far that I go
Not so far away
All the humid nights
Out under streetlights
And my baby's riding shotgun
In the knee-high tights
She looks like heaven
I feel like the devil
In my Sunday Whites
Because once in awhile
The sun shines on me

Title and Registration
by Death Cab for Cutie
The glove compartment is inaccurately named
And everybody knows it
So I'm proposing a swift and orderly change
Because behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm
And all I find are souvenirs from better times
Before the gleam of your tailights fading east
To find yourself a better life
I was searching for some legal documents
As the rain beat down on the hood
When I stumbled upon pictures I'd tried to forget
And that's how this idea was drilled into my head
'Cause it's too important to stay the way it's been
But there is no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it's gone, it's like it wasn't there at all
And here I rest: where disappointment and regret collide,
Lying awake at night

Expo '86
by Death Cab for Cutie
Sometimes I think this cycle never ends
We slide from top to bottom and we turn and climb again
And it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth
The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse
But if I move my place in line, I'll lose
And I have waited, the anticipation's got me glued
I am waiting for something to go wrong
I am waiting for familiar resolve
Sometimes it seems that I don't have the skills to recollect
The twists and turns of plots that took us from loves to friends
I'm thinking I should take that volume back up off the shelf
And crack it's weary spine and read to help remind myself
But if I move my place in line, I'll lose
And I have waited, the anticipation's got me glued
I am waiting for something to go wrong
I am waiting for familiar resolve
I am waiting for another repeat
Another diet fed by crippling defeat
And I am waiting for that sense of relief
I am waiting for you to flee the scene
As if you held in your hand the smoking gun
And on the floor lay the one you said you loved
And it's strange
They are basically the same
So I don't ask names anymore
Sometimes I think this cycle never ends
We slide from top to bottom and we turn and climb again
And it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth
The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse
The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse

Lovers Turn Into Monsters
by Bright Eyes
Lovers turn into monsters at the loss of all affection
Almost like it was the affection that kept them from being monsters
And I could have used some warning
I was on that porch all morning
Smoking cigarettes and sinking deeper into doubt
Could it be I am mistaken, have I stolen somebody's baby?
Is it possible for two people to need the same thing?
It's just the lines, they get so blurry
Between what is once and now required
And I don't know on which side his heart falls
But I know where mine is buried
And it's so far from any wanting
Yeah, it needs this to keep beating
It won't go on without it
If I'm still weighed down with subtleties
Then I'll just come right out and say
That I think that I deserve her
More than anyone deserves anything
Maybe I am selfish, but there is no way to share this
There's not enough to go around
I don't care who else gets hurt
But I'm still sick with empathy because I once stood in his place
I spent a year quietly dying while he let go and ignored her
And I'm sure that there are reason for everything that happens
And absence leads to adoration, yeah it's nobody's fault
But now there is no way to change this
So i just photographed and framed it
And it's hanging in a hallway
That we have no right to walk back down
But I hope that he feels better
But I'm sick of all the drama
I can't stand to see her crying
I just want this shit to end
And I want a place to hang out
Where record players play out
And there's a thousand movies rented
For a thousand nights with her

Cover Up
by Name Taken
Do you remember when you and I
Were less than us and we?
Covered up what little is left of me
And became one in the same
The colors fading into nothing
The lines are blurring and escaping
I can't breathe alone
You know, you know
The better part of me is stolen...
Whenever you go
We fell fast
We proved our fates wrong at last
With nothing left to show
We get up slow
The less we learn the more we know
It proves how long it lasts
The colors fading into nothing
The lines are blurring and escaping
I can't breathe alone
You know, you know
The better part of me is stolen...
Whenever you go
Closer than before
Further than I've ever been from anyone
Cover up, wrap your wrists in gauze
Fill your heart with cause, if it's real or not
The colors fading into nothing
The lines are blurring and escaping
I can't breathe alone
You know, you know
The better part of me is stolen...
Whenever you go

The Melting Point of Wax
by Thrice
I've waited for this moment all my life and more
and now I see so clearly what I could not see before
The time is now or never and this chance won't come again
I throw caution and myself into the wind
There's no promise of safety on these second hand wings
But I'm willing to find out what impossible means
a leap of faith
A parody of an angel
miles above the sea
I hear the voice of reason screaming after me
"You've flown too high boy now you're too close to the sun,
soon your makeshift wings will come undone"
But how will I know limits from lies if I never try?
There's no promise of safety on these second hand wings
But I'm willing to find out what impossible means
I'll climb through the heavens on feathers and dreams
'Cause the melting point of wax means nothing to me
Nothing to me
I will touch the sun or I will die trying
There's no promise of safety on these second hand wings
But I'm willing to find out what impossible means
I'll climb through the heavens on feathers and dreams
'Cause the melting point of wax means nothing to me
Nothing to me

The Quiet Things No One Ever Knows
by Brand New
We saw the western coast
I saw the hospital
And nursed the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lovers trysts
Were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow,
The quiet things that no one ever knows
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Then today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting my words
On lower cases and capitals
I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then it's you I can do without
There's nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed,
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Then today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting my words
On lower cases and capitals
I lie for only you
And I lie well...
Hallelujah

Hey
by The Movielife (RIP)
Hey, I guess I'll figure it out
The reasons why things went the way they did
And why we can't accept it
We'd fall asleep, but not before we exorcised the evil thing that everyone hides
We would lie there in my bed
Do you remember all those nights we never slept
No clothes, sweaty doing all the things I never thought I'd do
And I did them with you
And hey, don't feel bad
No one can ever take away the boardwalk trips or the subways
I think we grew up past the hang-ups and the evil stares
The fuck you too's and I don't cares
We would lie there in my bed
Do you remember all those nights we never slept
No clothes, sweaty doing all the things I never thought I'd do
And I did them with you
Hey, I guess I'll figure it out
The reasons why things went the way they did
And why we can't accept it
We'd fall asleep, but not before we exorcised the evil thing that everyone hides
We would lie there in my bed
Do you remember the nights we never slept?
And even though we brought it crashing to an end, I loved it all
And now I love my friend
I loved it all. I love the girl. I love my friend.

Take Our Cars Now!
by Saves the Day
Don't you remember the last time
We were speeding down this highway?
Anna slept in the back seat,
Dreaming in the autumn heat
We turned up the country radio
I said, "If you want me just say so."
I slicked back my hair in the wind
I told you I didn't want my picture taken
But you snapped it anyway
Now I guess you won't have trouble
Remembering me someday
So I floored it
And swerved around the lanes
I kept wishing it were you
Instead of me behind the wheel
So maybe with my camera
I could steal a shot of you
And go home and put it in my room
And I told you I didn't want my picture taken
You snapped it anyway
Now I guess you won't have trouble
Remembering me someday
Maybe you'll never remember me
Maybe my face will lose these scars,
'Cause sometimes they keep me home at night
Where I duck under the covers
And wince when I see the light
And I told you I didn't want my picture taken
You snapped it anyway
Now I guess you won't have trouble
Remembering me someday

A Perfect Sonnet
by Bright Eyes
Lately I've been wishing I had one desire
Something that would make me never want another
Something that would make it so that nothing matters
All would be clear then
But I guess I'll have to settle for a few brief moments
And watch it all dissolve into a single second
And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet
Or one foolish line
'Cause that's all that you'll get,
So you'll have to accept
You are here, then you're gone
But I believe that lovers should be tied together
And thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather
Left there to drown, left there to drown
In their innocence
But as for me I'm coming to the final chapter
I read all of the pages and there is still no answer
Only all that was before I know must soon come after
That is the only way it can be
So I stand in the sun and I breathe with my lungs
I'm trying to spare me the weight of the truth
Saying everything you have ever seen was just a mirror
And you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever
And laying in a bathtub full of freezing water
Wishing you were a ghost
But once you knew a girl and you named her lover
Danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer
Autumn came, she disappeared
You can't remember where she said she was going to
But you know that's she's gone, 'cause she left you a song
That you don't want to sing
Singing I believe that lovers should be chained together
And thrown into a fire with their songs and letters
Left there to burn, left there to burn
In their arrogance
But as for me I'm coming to my final failure
I've killed myself with changes trying to make things better
But I still ended up becoming something other than what I had planned to be
Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
Layed entwined together on a bed of clovers
And left there to sleep
Left there to dream of their happiness
