the national - baby, we'll be fine

All night I lay on my pillow and pray

For my boss to stop me in the hallway

Lay my head on his shoulder and say

Son, I've been hearing good things

I wake up without warning and go flying around the house

In my sauvignon fierce, freaking out

Take a forty-five minute shower and kiss the mirror

And say, look at me

Baby, we'll be fine

All we gotta do is be brave and be kind

I put on an argyle sweater and put on a smile

I don't know how to do this

I'm so sorry for everything

I'm so sorry for everything

Baby, come over, I need entertaining

I had a stilted, pretending day

Lay me down and say something pretty

Lay me back down where I wanted to stay

Just say something perfect, something I can steal

Say, look at me

Baby, we'll be fine

All we've gotta do is be brave and be kind

I pull off your jeans, and you spill jack and coke in my collar

I melt like a witch and scream

I'm so sorry for everything

I'm so sorry for everything

I'm so sorry for everything...

styrofoam - couches in alleys (ft.ben gibbard)

Hey Jack it's me,

I don't mean to bother you but something's been on my mind.

At the end of this road that climbs

the horizon, will be reached in a matter of miles.

And when the wheels cease to spin,

the walls and the fences will grow higher than redwood trees.

And I know your demise.

And I fear what will happen when the road fails to flow under me.

Oh Jack you see,

I felt like your mirror with the wind whipping through my hair.

When the wheels ceased to spin

and I cased my surroundings,

I realized I hadn't gone anywhere.

When the problems I'd left with couches in alleys, where no one would ever claim.

And the hardest part was sifting through the pieces of the rain soaked and rotten remains

when I got home.

cold war kids - hospital beds

There's nothing to do here

some just whine and complain

in bed at the hospital

coming and going

asleep and awake

in bed at the hospital

Tell me the story

of how you ended up here

I've heard it all in the hospital

Nurses are fussin'

doctors on tour

somewhere in India

I've got one friend

laying across from me

I did not choose him

he did not choose me

we've got no chance of recovery

Sharing hospital

joy and misery

joy and misery

joy and misery

nada surf - see these bones

[...]

The lights in the city

Are more or less blinking

This side of the story

Decides what you are thinking

Warm arms and cold faces

we're squinting, we're hurrying

We are taking inventory

We're digging and we're burying it

Do you remember when the light was low?

Do you remember when it fell?

Do you remember when we went through her house?

Remember ringing the bell?

Look alive

See these bones

What you are now

We were once

Just like we are

You will be dust

Just like we are

Permanent

british sea power - atom

I'll be the first to admit this is a bright but haunted age

I just don't know now now I just can't say hey hey

When you get down down to the heart and the bones of it

That's when it breaks you know, thats when it falls apart

but thats the prize now

Oh caveat emptor, open the atoms core

but that's the prize now

Oh caveat emptor open the atoms core

Oh caveat emptor open the atoms core

Whoa!

Oh Oh i just don't get it

Whoa!

Oh Oh I just don't get it

Get it

Oh I Just don't get it

Get It! Get It! Get It!

I just don't get it

Whoa!
