Everybody

This is a song I've been meaning to post for about a month or so, but it's still just as true today as it has been all that time. =D

You are so sexy my love
You've got me tripping over my tongue
And I can't say what I mean
But I mean it when I say
That I fell so hard for you
That it broke my heart in two
Now I'm wrapped in black and blue
You know I'm crazy 'bout you

Should I take a chance?
Or should I sit in wonder of you?

I wanna tell everybody everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever even seen before
And I wanna tell everybody everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never want to let you go

Like a junkie to a rush
I'd trade my mama for your touch
Oh wait that might just be too much
Well I'd do anything but that
You are so tempting my dear
You strip away my useless fears
No you don't care that I'm weird
And that's amazing yeah

Oh as you walk on by
Oh I - I sit in wonder of you

I wanna tell everybody everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever even seen before
And I wanna tell everybody everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never want to let you go

Spinning around like nobody's watching
Nobody else but me
So far beyond my imagination
If they could only see
Yeah yeah

Oh you are so sexy my love
You've got me tripping over my tongue
And I can't say what I mean
But I mean it when I say

I wanna tell everybody everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever even seen before
And I wanna tell everybody everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never want to go, no
I wanna tell everybody everybody
that you're so much more
Than they've ever even seen before
And I wanna tell everybody everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never want to let you go

Mobile

The first of two songs I will post today that are backlogged. This one will be dated for late August ... when I should have posted it.

Went back home again
This sucks gotta pack up and leave again
Say goodbye to all my friends
Can't say when I'll be there again
It's time now, I turn around
Turn my back on
Everything
(Turn my back on)
Everything

Everything's changing
When I turn around
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing
When I turn around
All out of my control
I'm a mobile

Start back at this life
Stretch myself back into the light
I'm waking up to say I've tried instead of waking up
To another TV Guide
Its time now, I turn around
Turn and walk on
This crazy ground

Everything's changing
When I turn around
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing
Out of what I know
Everywhere I go
I'm a mobile
I'm a mobile

Hanging from the ceiling
Life's a mobile
Spinning 'round with mixed feelings
Crazy and wild
Sometimes, I wanna scream out loud

Everything's changing
Everywhere I go
All out of my control
Everything's changing
Everywhere I go
Out of what I know

La la la la la la. la-la la
La la la la la la, la-la la
La la la la la la, la-la la
La la la la la la

Everything's changing
When I turn around
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing
Out of what I know
Everywhere I go
I'm a mobile

Everywhere I go
I'm a mobile

Landslide

I feel weird posting this song because it is a Christian song, but I still feel like it fits my life better than ever right now. Maybe old habits die hard, or maybe I never wanted them to die at all. Either way, I am definitely going through a landslide right now ... picking up the pieces slowly but surly.

I feel crazy
Hope is hazy right now
But I won't freak out
I won't freak out
At the sound of the

Landslide inside
Fear wants to take my peace of mind
Won't run, won't hide
I will lift my hands up high

In my trouble
I have doubled my prayers
'Cause I need them
I need them like I need the air

Landslide inside
Fear wants to take my peace of mind
Won't run, won't hide
I will lift my hands up high

Here's to the Name above all names
I will trust you Jesus, I'll be brave

I will live my life
Day by day
'Cause You're the only Truth
The only Way out of this

Landslide inside
Fear wants to take my peace of mind
Won't run, won't hide
I will lift my hands up high

Here's to the Name above all names
Here's to the only one who saves
I will trust you Jesus, I'll be brave

-Seven Places

Life Got in the Way

We knew it all from a little thing
It was everything in our first minute
And it took us to another place
Yeah another place and we fell in it
How dare you not remember
How dare you walk away

We adored every little thing
Every little thing would leave us breathless
Every dawn spelled another day
And in another day we weren't so restless
How dare you not remember
How dare you walk away

And I wanted you so much
Just like I do right now
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
I wanted it to last
I wanted to grow old
But life got in the way

We walked around in a heavy haze
We were stuck in days of so much warring
We got lost in a tricky maze
Yeah a tricky maze that was so scarring
How come you can't remember
How dare you walk away

Then you start to add the little things
Add the little things and trip the mighty
Now we got a little bitter thing
A little bitter thing that grew like ivy
And how dare you not remember
How dare you walk away

And I wanted you so much
Just like I do right now
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
I wanted it to last
I wanted to grow old
But life got in the way

Yeah, and apathy grows quietly where rapture used to fly
Whoa, and promises and certainty have left love here to die
Won't you stay and don't let this one fall away

And I wanted you so much
Just like I do right now
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
I wanted it to last
I wanted to grow old
But life got in the way
(Repeat)

Yeah well life got in the way

-Sister Hazel

My favorite thing about this song is a word in the chorus. It says, "I wanted us to be the ONE the poets write their books about." That means a lot.

Photo

I'm iffy about this song, but I'm going to post it anyways. It's a good song regardless. I just kind of want to change a couple of the words ...

A photo
Can say a thousand things
But it can't say the million things
I wanna say

A photo
Can capture the way we were
But it can't capture the way we are
'Cause you're far away

What it's like to know you
What it's like to touch you

When you told me that you loved me
Were those just words
You can't tell me you don't need me
And I know that hurts
'Cause I'm looking at your picture
'Cause it's all I've got
Maybe one day you and me will have
One more shot

Timing
Lost minutes and moments
Yea I might be lonely girl
But I'm not afraid

In a second
It all comes right back to me
No nothing's forgotten now
Yeah everything's saved

What it's like to touch you
What it's like to know you

When you told me that you loved me
Were those just words
You can't tell me you don't need me
And I know that hurts
'Cause I'm looking at your picture
'Cause it's all I've got
Maybe one day you and me will have
One more shot

You were my life
You were my faith
You gave me hope
Every day

When you told me that you loved me
Were those just words
You can't tell me you don't need me
And I know that hurts
'Cause I'm looking at your picture
'Cause it's all I've got
Maybe one day you and me will have
One more shot

Goodbye My Lover

Sometimes a song just hits you ... and when it does ... it's perfect.

Did I disappoint you
or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty
or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end
before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded
and I knew I had won.

So I took what's mine
by eternal right.
Took your soul out
into the night.
It may be over
but it won't stop there,
I am here for you
if you'd only care.

You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.

I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer
but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit
- it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on,
remember me,
Remember us and all we
used to be

I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.

I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand
in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul
in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby,
I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby,
I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

- James Blunt

The Mix Tape

I had an amazing feeling when I finally held the tape in my hand. I just thought to myself that in the palm of my hand, there was this one tape that had all of these memories and feelings and great joy and sadness. Right there in the pam of my hand. And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope that they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person.

Love always,
Charlie

Does Anybody Hear Her

Okay ... so this song is slightly out of date for me, but it meant a lot to me when I first heard it and it still does represent a critical period in my life, so I want to add it to the list. It's a beautiful song and if you can find it somewhere you should listen to it.

She is running
A hundred miles an hour
In the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She's another two years older and
She's three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?

She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason and
She gives herself away

Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?

If judgment looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her

If judgment looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her

Never even met her

Does anybody hear her?
Does anybody see?
Or does anybody even knows she's going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me

Does anybody hear her?
Does anybody see?
Does anybody even know she's going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her?
Does anybody see?

He is running
A hundred miles an hour
In the wrong direction

Stand In The Rain

She never slows down
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's
All alone
Feels like its all
Coming down

She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries
That first tear
The tears will not stop
Raining down

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain

She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears
Whispering
If she stands
She'll fall down

She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's
Running from
Wants to give up
And lie down

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain

Bad Reputation

I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do
And that's what I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation

Oh no
Not me

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
An' I'm only doin' good when I'm havin' fun
An' I don't have to please no one
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
An' I don't really care if ya think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
An' I'm never gonna care 'bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

Pedal boys!

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
The world's in trouble there's no communication
An' everyone can say what they want to say
It never gets better anyway
So why should I care 'bout a bad reputation
Anyway

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're living in the past it's a new generation
An' I only feel good when I got no pain
An' that's how I'm gonna stay
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
Not me
Not me!

-Joan Jett

Here's to the Night

It's my song of the week. I heard it on the radio and the words rang too true not to post it. I wish they didn't.

So denied
So I lied
Are you the now or never kind
In a day
And a day love
I'm gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing
To be had
Are you cool with just tonight

Here's a toast
To all those who hear me all too well

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

Put your name
On the line
Along with place and time
Wanna stay
Not to go
I wanna ditch the logical

Here's a toast
To all those who hear me all too well

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go
(Don't let me let you go)

Here's a toast
To all those who hear me all too well

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
(Too soon)
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

-Eve 6

Hate

Love love love love love love

You were everything I wanted
You were everything a [guy] could be
Then you left me brokenhearted
Now you don't mean a thing to me
All I wanted was your
Love love love love love love

Hate is a strong word
But I really really really don't like you
Now that it's over
I don't even know what I liked about you
Brought you around
And you just brought me down
Hate is a strong word
But I really really really really don't like you
I really don't like you

Thought that everything was perfect
(Perfect)
Isn't that how it's supposed to be?
Thought you thought that I was worth it
Now I think a little differently
All I wanted was your
Love love love love love love

Hate is a strong word
But I really really really don't like you
(I really don't like you)
Now that it's over
I don't even know what I liked about you
(Liked about you)
Brought you around
And you just brought me down
Hate is a strong word
But I really really really really don't like you

Now that it's over you can't hurt me
Now that it's over you can't bring me down

Oh... oh... oh... oh oh oh
Oh... oh... oh... oh oh oh

All I wanted was your
Love love love love love love

(Hey!)
Hate is a strong word
But I really really really don't like you
(I really don't like you)
Now that it's over
I don't even know what I liked about you
(Liked about you)
Brought you around
And you just brought me down
(Hey!)
Hate is a strong word
But I really really really really don't like you

Oh... oh... oh... oh oh oh
(I really don't like you)
Oh... oh... oh... oh oh oh
(I really don't like you)
Oh... oh... oh... oh oh oh
(I really don't like you)
Oh... oh... oh... oh oh oh
