I Must Be Dreaming

She thinks I'm crazy
Judging by the faces that she's making
And I think she's pretty
But pretty's just part of the things she does that amaze me
She calls me sweetheart
I love it when she wakes me when it's still dark
And she watches the sun
But she's the only one I have my eyes on

Tell me that you love me
And it'll be alright
Are you thinking of me?
Just come with me tonight
You know I need you
Just like you need me
Can't stop,
Won't stop
I must be dreaming.
Can't stop,
Won't stop
I must be dreaming.

She moves in closer
Whispering to me "I thought I told ya"
And oh she's playing games now
And I figured it out now that we're
Now that we're closer
Two kids, one love
Who cares it we making it up
Her voice is sweet sound
Our clothes lay on the ground
She moves in closer
(She moves in closer)
Whispers "I though I told ya"

Tell me that you love me
And it'll be alright
Are you thinking of me?
Just come with me tonight
You know I need you
Just like you need me
Can't stop,
Won't stop
I must be dreaming.
Can't stop,
Won't stop
I must be dreaming.

Remember the day when we started this
And she made the shape of my heart with her hands
We try to make some sense of it
But she called me on the phone and said...

Tell me that you love me
And it'll be alright
Are you thinking of me?
Just come with me tonight
You know I need you
Just like you need me
Can't stop,
Won't stop
I must be dreaming.
Go one and tell 'em that you love me
And it'll be alright
(I must be dreaming)
Are you thinking of me?
Just come with me tonight
(I must be dreaming)
She moves in closer.
Can't stop,
Won't stop
I must be dreaming.

Lonely Day

I could tell... from the minute I woke up
It was gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day
Rise and shine... rub the sleep out of my eyes
And try to tell myself I can't go back to bed
It's gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day

Even though.. the sun is shining down on me
And I should feel about as happy as can be
I just got here, and I already want to leave
It's gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day (x3)

Everybody knows that something's wrong
But nobody knows what's going on
We all sing the same old song
When you want it all to go away
It's shaping up to be a lonely day

I could tell... from the minute I woke up
It was gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day
It was gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day

Everybody knows that something's wrong
But nobody knows what's going on
We all sing the same old song
When you want it all to go away
It's shaping up to be a lonely day

I could tell... from the minute I woke up
It was gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day
It was gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely....

Oh, It Is Love

Oh, it is love, from the first
Time I set my eyes upon yours
Thinking oh, is it love?

Oh dear
It's been hardly a moment
And you are already missed
There is still a bit of your skin
That I've yet to have kissed
Oh say please do not go
But you know, oh, you know that I must
Oh say I love you so
But you know, oh, you know you can trust
We'll be holding hands once again
All our broken plans I will mend
And I will hold you tight so you know

It is love, from the first
Time I pressed my hand into yours
Thinking oh, is it love?

Oh, dear,
It's been hardly three days
And I'm longing to feel your embrace
There are several days
Until I can see your sweet face
Oh say, wouldn't you like to be
Older and married with me
Oh say, wouldn't it be nice to
Know right now that we'll be
Someday holding hands in the end
All our broken plans will have been
And I will kiss you soft so you know

It is love, from the first
Time I pressed my lips against yours
Thinking oh, is it love?

Your heart may long
For love that is more near
So, when I'm gone
These words will be here
To ease every fear
And dry up every tear
And make it very clear
I kiss you and I know

It is love, from the first
Time I pressed my lips against yours
Thinking oh, is it love?

Oh, it is love, from the first
Time I pressed my lips against yours
Thinking oh is it love?

Oh I kiss you and I know
It is love, from the first
Time I pressed my lips onto yours
Thinking oh, is it love?

(Nice to Meet You) Anyway

I don't want to get too close
I don't want to get too close
You see this isn't where my head is
If you knew me, I'm not like this
But I just found someone special
and that's really something special
if you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

I believe you're very fine
Still I haven't got the time
Cause I just found someone special
and that's really something special
if you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of... my true love

I don't mean to be so strange
But my life just took a change
Cause I just found someone special
and that's really something special
if you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of... my true love

So before this goes too far
Let me tell you what you are
You're amazing, I'm attracted
But I'm terribly distracted
And I'm trying to be verbal
And I'm back into this circle
Cause I just found someone special
and that's really something special
if you knew me
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you anyway (x4)

Even if you want me to stay here
(Nice to meet you, Nice to meet you)
I'm tellin' you right now I can leave
(Nice to meet you, Nice to meet you)
Before I get to changing my mind here
(Nice to meet you, Nice to meet you anyway...)
I hope you understand what I mean
I hope you understand what I mean
I hope you understand what I mean...

-Gavin DeGraw

The Fear You Won't Fall

Diggin' a hole and the walls are caving in...
behind me.
Air's gettin' thin but I'm trying, I'm breathing in.
Come find me.

It hasn't felt like this before.
It hasn't felt like home... before you.

And I know it's easy to say,
but it's harder to feel... this way,
And I miss you more than I should,
than I thought I could,
can't get my mind off of you.

I know you're scared that I'll soon be over it.
That's part of it all.
Part of the beauty of falling in love with you,
is the fear you won't fall.

It hasn't felt like this before...
It hasn't felt like home... before you.

And I know it's easy to say,
but it's harder to feel... this way.
And I miss you more than I should,
than I thought I could,
can't get my mind off of you.

And I hate the phone,
but I wish you'd call.
Thought being alone....
was better than, was better than...

And I know it's easy to say,
but its harder to feel... this way.
And I miss you more than I should,
than I thought I could,
can't get my mind off of you.

Can't get my mind off of you.

And I know it's easy to say,
but its harder to feel... this way.
And I miss you more than I should,
than I thought I could,
can't get my mind off of you.

And I know it's easy to say,
but it's harder to feel... this way.

The Sound of Settling

This is not what I want... but sometimes it's how I feel.

I've got a hunger...
twisting my stomach into knots
that my tongue was tied off.

My brain's repeating,
if you've got an impulse let it out
but they never make it past my mouth.

Ba ba (ba ba)
This is the sound of settling
Ba ba, ba ba
x2

Are you this fleeting?
Old age is just around the bend,
I can't wait to look grey.

And I'll sit and wonder...
of every love that could have been,
if I only thought of something charming to say.

Ba ba, (ba ba)
This is the sound of settling
Ba ba, ba ba
x4

I've got a hunger...
twisting my stomach into knots.

-Death Cab for Cutie

My Best Friend

This is to my best friend, my hot artichoke maple angel fluff ....

When everything is wrong I'll come talk to you
You make things alright when I'm feeling blue

You are such a blessing and I won't be messing
with the one thing that brings light to all my darkness

You're my best friend
and I love you,
and I love you
Yes I do

There is no other one who can take your place
I feel happy inside when I see your face
I hope you believe me
'Cause I speak sincerely
and I mean it when I tell you that I need you

You're my best friend
and I love you,
and I love you
Yes I do

I'm here right beside you
I will never leave you
and I feel the pain you feel when you start crying

You're my best friend
and I love you,
and I love you
Yes I do

You're my best friend
and I love you,
and I love you
Yes I do
Yes I do...

Yes I do

Coming To Terms

These are lyrics I wish I'd found a long time ago.

Oh no, it’s not me
I just forgot... to tell you
Didn’t mean, it seems obscene
We just lost track.. along the way

I’m coming to terms
I’m starting to learn
This ain’t all it’s cracked up to be
’Cause I’m using you, you’re using me
It’s never as easy as we believe

’Cause this hurts, I can’t leave
I understand... but can you
I’m just scared, you’re lonely
Everyone knows.. you’re better than me

I’m coming to terms
I’m starting to learn
This ain’t all it’s cracked up to be
’Cause I’m using you, you’re using me
It’s never as easy as we believe

Is this what you need?
Am I what you need?

I’m coming to terms
I’m starting to learn
This ain’t all it’s cracked up to be
’Cause I’m using you, you’re using me
It’s never as easy as we believe

Na na na na…

-Carolina Liar

A Strange Cup of Tea

Sometimes I wake with a weary head
and I wonder how I'll ever get through
Then I think of the things you said
how you told me to my self be true

My faith in things unseen,
My belief that it'll all work out
It may seem like a strange cup of tea,
but if its all right with you,
than it all right with me

On my feet I walk, with my legs I run
In my arms I'll hold another day
With my head I think, from my heart I sing
And with my hand to my face I pray

There's times I feel with the stains of life
I could just turn around, turn around 'n walk away
Then a strength like a beam from above
lifts me up by the hand and it leads me to say...

Good things for good people you see
Good things, they seem to all work out
May seem like a strange cup of tea
But if its all right with you
Well then its all right with me

On my feet I walk, with my legs I run
In my arms I'll hold another day
With my head I think, from my heart I sing
And with my hand to my face I pray

Getting by ain't enough for me
I know what I like, I like what I see
I'm not only flesh and blood but
I'm heart and soul I know

Sometimes I feel at the end of the day
Was it all worth while or have I settled for less?
I sit back and your there by my side
Sincerely you say, "We're both so blessed"

Count your blessings, count them one, two, three
Don't give up cause it'll all work out
It may seem like a strange cup of tea
But if it's all right with you, it's just fine with me

On my feet I walk, with my legs I run
In my arms I'll hold another day
With my head I think, from my heart I sing
And with my hand to my face I pray

Killing Me Too

Lend me your ear, and I'll tell you about the things I fear maybe
Open your heart, and I'll tell you why I'm torn apart, maybe
Lend me your car, and we'll go chase down a falling star
Give me your hand cause it takes that fire to understand, yeah

When was the last time you felt high
Oh you were the best I've ever felt
Cause I don't need you fix me
But I just want you to listen

It's killing, me too
It's so wrong not to be with you
It's getting, harder to stay awake
It's killing, me too
It stops my heart just to be with you
So listen, cause you are the only one who cares to hear

Lend me your time, and we'll go somewhere and kill some wine baby
Show me your soul, and I'll shine my light where it seems so cold now
Give me your lips, and I'll tell you about all the things I miss the most
Open your mind and I'll crawl right up and sleep inside of it

When was the last time you felt high
Oh you were the best I've ever felt
I don't need you fix me
But I just want you to listen

It's killing, me too
It's so wrong not to be with you
It's getting, harder to stay awake
It's killing, me too
It stops my heart just to be with you
So listen, cause you are the only one who cares to hear

(repeat)

To hear me

Do You Want To

So this is actually for a few weeks ago, but I haven't posted in forever and a day so I thought it was worth posting something late rather than never.

When I woke up tonight I said I'm

He's a friend and I knew him before ya

Well he's a friend and we're so proud of ya
Your famous friend well I blew him before ya
Oh yeah

Well do ya, do ya, do ya wanna
Wanna go where I never let you before

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

-Avril Lavigne

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

-Ryan Cabrera

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

-Casting Crowns

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
