Lyrics

[Bloom]

Watching The Office and had to look up this song as well:

James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover
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.

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.

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.

Because everyone needs a bit of Ray Charles and Van Morrison in their lives XD

Crazy Love - Ray Charles featuring Van Morrison

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song

[Chorus:]
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief

[Chorus]

Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight

And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul

[Chorus]

[Chris Strongheart]

>.> Video Game Soundtrack:
Alundra: Ending song:
Now tears of pain are gone
Though once they flowed free
Fear imprisoned hearts and trapped destiny
Yet the hopeful prayed on
And hope came to be...

(Chorus)
Where are the dreams once shared between us?
What happened to that innocent place?

Can we get it back?
Or has it passed?
If we get it back, can we start again?

Sentimental thoughts...
Sentimental dreams...
Cascade within me

There is a destiny that's waiting just for me
With a power that I've only come to know

What does the future of our feelings truly hold?
Whether good
Whether bad
It's ahead
Take my hand
And let's go

You can't resist...fate!

Now tears of pain are gone
And the hardship is through
Now there is no "why?" or "how?", only "do"

All thoughts of me and you
And the yearning we share
can be destiny
It's a heartbeat away
For the dreamers we are
There's but only love true

Repeat Chrous

Now tears of pain are gone
And the nightmare has passed
Now the time has come for love at long last

All thoughts of me and you
And the yearning we share
Can be destiny
It's a heartbeat away
For the dreamers we are
There's but only love true

[Riven]

Crazy Love is a great song. Lately, my choice of music has been Christmas in nature. Trying to keep that spirit up.

And now for something completely different:

Best of You - Foo Fighters

I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh...

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

lyric threads are dangerous XD I have a folder of lyrics on my hard drive
Five For Fighting = 100 years:
Five For Fighting, 100 Years
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
~
Enrique Iglesias - Bailamos
Esta noche bailamos...

Tonight we dance, I lay my life in your hands
We take the floor, nothing is forbidden anymore
Don't let the world in outside, don't let a moment go by
Nothing can stop us tonight

Chorus:
Bailamos
Let the rhythm take you over, Bailamos
Te quiero amor mio
Bailamos
Wanna live this night forever, Bailamos
Te quiero amor mio
Te quiero

Tonight I'm yours
We can make it happen, I'm so sure
Now I'm letting go
There is something I think you should know
I won't be leaving your side
We're gonna dance through the night
I wanna reach for the stars

{Chorus}

Tonight we dance
Like no tomorrow
If you will stay with me
Te quiero mi amor

{Chorus} (2x)

Como te quiero, como te quiero...

[Karina]

I've been kicking it old school lately so here's a bit of Ella Fitzgerald:

It's Wonderful
it's wonderful to look into your eyes
and realize you care a little bit
it's wonderful to know that you love me

it's glorious to feel that I'm a part of you, sweetheart
to share your happiness
it's marvelous how lovely love can be

who dreamed that I'd be allowed
through the doorway of heaven?
I'm drifting high on a cloud
you're an angel and this is heaven

it's wonderful to have your lips divine combined with mine
and dream forever more
it's wonderful to know that you love me

who dreamed that I'd be allowed
through the doorway of heaven?
I'm drifting high, high on a cloud
you're an angel and this is heaven

oh, it's wonderful to have your lips divine combined with mine
and dream forever more
it's wonderful to know that you love me

it's glorious
it's marvelous
oh darling, it's wonderful

[Chris Strongheart]

going back to Ray Charles:
Stella by Starlight:
The song a robin sings,
Through years of endless springs,
The murmur of a brook at evening tide.
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide.
That great symphonic theme,
That's Stella by starlight,
And not a dream,
My heart and I agree,
She's everything on Earth to me.
The murmur of a brook at evening tide.
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide.
That great symphonic theme,
That's Stella by starlight,
And not a dream,
My heart and I agree,
She's everything on Earth to me.

Angelique by Kenny Loggins:
From the time that I wake to the time that I rise, she's a lover and so am I
But the lady loves her passion more than me
When I'm under her spell, then I know very well, how her magic can mystify
And the lady leaves her lovers in ecstasy
She's young, but she's wise, and the heaven in her eyes at half a glance
Is as much as a man can see
But she'll never really love any more than any other lover in her life
And you'll come to know the devil in Angelique
For a moment it seems I'm a part of her dreams
And she loves like she's hypnotized
While she hides inside the man she's made of me
And then just when I've found her, her visions surround her
And I'll never fill her eyes, but I wonder who in hell the young girl sees
And she moans, and she sighs, and you search inside her eyes
But all you find is a man who can never be
And you wonder if she'll ever discover that the devil could never set her free
She's young, but she's wise, and the heaven in her eyes at half a glance
Is as much as any man can see
And you'll never really lose any more than any other lover has lost in her life
When you've come to know the devil in Angelique
And you'll come to know the devil in Angelique
And you'll learn to love the devil

And one of my favorite Disney songs
Love from Robin Hood:
It seems like only yesterday
You were just a child at play
Now you're all grown up inside of me
Oh, how fast those moments flee
Once we watched a lazy world go by
Now the days seem to fly
Life is brief, but when it's gone
Love goes on and on
Love will live
Love will last
Love goes on and on and on
Once we watched a lazy world go by
Now the days seem to fly
Life is brief, but when it's gone
Love goes on and on

::laughs:: from "The Lost Christmas Eve" - "What is Christmas?" which just screams "Riven" to me

What is Christmas?
Tinseled fairytales
Day old stockings lined up in a row

What is Christmas?
Could someone tell me that?
What is Christmas?
Surely, I don't know

And everywhere these lights
Who needs to color night?
Could this whole thing be planned?
I do not understand

This Christmas
Trees with colored lights
Underneath they still are only trees
Do you think that one day perhaps they might
Find that Christmas
Is kind of a disease?

Every year it's waiting for me
Waiting for me
Every year it constantly defies
Placing strangers
There before me
There before me
Spreading hope and cheer
Mixed in with happiness
Fraternal bliss and other Christmas lies!

And there's one more thing that I have discovered
And I would now like you to know
The reason for Christmas I now realize
Is an excuse to tolerate snow
Snow!
I don't even like the sound of it
Anyway, where was I?
Oh, yes!

What is Christmas?
Candles everywhere
A fire hazard any other day
Children light them
No one seems to care
All for Christmas

Every year it returns here
And every year it's waiting for me
Why can't Christmas disappear
And just pretend it never saw me
Every year I get my hopes up
That it will somehow just leave
But every year I wake to find
That once again it now is Christmas
Eve

[Sky]

I think this song has claimed the spot as my current favorite; it's just so mournful, but beautiful nonetheless.

Lesson Learned - Ray LaMontagne
Well the truth it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur

That you never saw the signs
That you never lost your grip
Oh, come on now
That's such a childish claim
Now I wear the brand of traitor
Don't it seem a bit absurd
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
When it's clear I was so obviously framed

Now you act so surprised
To hear what you already know
And all you really had to do was ask
I'd have told you straight away
All those lies were truth
And all that was false was fact

Now you hold me close and hard
But I was like a statue at most
Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt
Now you're clawing at my throat
And you're crying all is lost
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

Well the truth it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur

Was it you who told me once
Now looking back it seems so real
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
So why is it now after I had my fill
That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
Shall we call this a lesson learned?

[Chris Strongheart]

definitely fits our couples ::nods::

[Bloom]

I just heard this song on the radio and I really like the lyrics:

The Coldest Heart - Classic Crime

A couple of years and I'm a silhouette
My halo is broken now and I'm all that's left
I hate to disappoint but it's the way things went
I was bound to the things I did
And after what was said
Tie up these loose ends
These voices are calling me out
I've got the solution
You can feed me to something
That is leaving this doubt

[Chorus:]
Whoa, I'm losing hope
There's a hole in my heart
That's been cut out of stone
Whoa, cold comes cold goes
Could you fill this hole?
Cause I can't do it alone

A couple of tears and I'm a broken mess
The sadness has taken me far too deep in regret
So sing me a song about something good
My heart's on the thrashing floor
And I've done every single thing I could
I use to believe in
Some kind of feeling
That could change everything I thought I knew
But that door is closed and
My heart feels like it's frozen
If you hear me I can feel you

[Chorus]

[Bridge 4x]
The coldest heart can be brought to life
When it's thrown into the fire of goodbyes

[Chorus 2x]

I've got the coldest heart [4x]
(Cause I can't do it alone)

[Bloom]

And since I over-angsted myself in my last thread (I knew Bloom didn't stand a chance against Christine, but she insisted on putting up a fight. Stubborn girl. ;D ), here's a few more:

Goodbye To You - Michelle Branch

Of all the things I believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul
words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said...

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes
And you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Oh, woah

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

Oh Woah
And when the stars fall I will lie awake
You're my shooting star


Everytime I See Your Picture I Cry - Luba

Of all the things I believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul
words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said...

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes
And you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Oh, woah

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

Oh Woah
And when the stars fall I will lie awake
You're my shooting star

[Sky]

Yet another great (semi-angsty) song

'Till It Happens to You - Corinne Bailey Rae
I know what I said, was heat of the moment.
There's a little truth in between the words we spoke and, it's a little late now to fix a heart that's broken.
Please don't ask me where I'm going.
Cause I don't know.
No I don't know, anymore.

It used to feel like heaven,
It used to feel like May.
I used to hear those violins playing heart strings like a symphony,
Now they've gone away. Nobody wants to face the truth, but you won't believe what love can do.
Till it happens to you.
Till it happens to you.

Went to, the old flat, guess I was trying to turn the clock back, but how comes that nothing feels the same now when I'm with you?
We used to stay up all night, in the kitchen, when our love was new.
Ooooh love,
Am I a fool to believe in you?
'cause I don't know, no I don't know anymore.

It used to feel like heaven,
it used to feel like May.
I used to hear those violins playing heart strings like a symphony,
now they're gone away.

Nobody wants to know the truth until their hearts broken.
Don't you dare tell them what you think to do,
till they get over. You can only learn these things from experience
When you get older.
I just wish that someone would've told me.
Mmm hmm mmmm.

[Bloom]

I see your semi-angst and raise you The Pretenders.

I'll Stand By You

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

[Bloom]

Blue Rodeo just write wonderful songs. Beautiful words and melodies that just tug at my heart. There's so many good songs, but this is the one I'm currently listening to. It reminds me of the When Things Were Simple thread.

Lost Together - Blue Rodeo

Strange and beautiful
are the stars tonight
that dance around your head
in your eyes I see that perfect world
I hope that doesn't sound too weird
And I want all the world to know
that your love's all I need
all that I need

and if we're lost
then we are lost together
yea if we're lost
then we are lost together

I stand before this faceless crowd
and I wonder why I bother
so much controlled by so few
stumbling from one disaster to another
I've heard it all so many times before
it's all a dream to me now
a dream to me now

And if we're lost
then we are lost together
yea if we're lost
then we are lost together

In this silence of this whispered night
I listen only to your breath
and that second of a shooting star
somehow it all makes sense
And I want all the world to know
that your love's all I need
all that I need

and if we're lost
then we are lost together
yea if we're lost
then we are lost together
