On Dreaming av John Newton
The busy fancy wakeful keeps;
The scenes which then before us rise,
Prove something in us never sleeps.
As in another world we seem,
A new creation of our own,
All appears real, though a dream,
And all familiar, though unknown.
Sometimes the mind beholds again
The past day's business in review,
Resumes the pleasure or the pain;
And sometimes all we meet is new.
What schemes we form, what pains we take!
We fight, we run, we fly, we fall;
But all is ended when we wake,
We scarcely then a trace recall.
But though our dreams are often wild,
Like clouds before the driving storm;
Yet some important may be styled,
Sent to admonish or inform.
What mighty agents have access,
What friends from heaven, or foes from hell,
Our minds to comfort or distress,
When we are sleeping, who can tell?
One thing, at least, and it's enough,
We learn from this surprising fact;
Our dreams afford sufficient proof,
The soul, without the flesh, can act.
This life, which mortals so esteem,
That many choose it for their all,
They will confess, was but a dream,
When wakened by death's awful call
I Remember
How could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
No, you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me
Johnny Cash - It Ain't Me Babe
Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I’m not the one you want babe
I’m not the one you need
They say you’re looking for someone,
Who’s never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it aint me babe
No no no, it aint me babe
It aint me you’re looking for… babe
Go lightly from the ledge babe,
Go lightly on the ground
I’m not the one you want babe,
I’ll only let you down
You say you’re looking for someone
Who’ll promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes to you
Someone to close his heart
Someone to die for you and more,
But it aint me babe
No no no, it aint me babe
It aint me you’re looking for… babe
You say you’re looking for someone
To pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
and to know come each time you call
And will love you for all life and nothing more
But it aint me babe
No no no, it aint me babe
It aint me you’re looking for… babe
Kings of Leon - Use Somebody
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
And all you know
And how you speak
Countless lovers undercover of the streetOff in the night
While you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Somebody
Now and Forever
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
Where I want to be
Be transparent for awhile, just a little while
To see if you're human after all
Honesty is a hard attribute to find
When we all want to seem like
We've got it all figured out
Well let me be the first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
Ain't gonna pretend like I do
Just trying
To find my way
Trying
To find my way the best I know how
Well I haven't memorized all of the cute things to say
But I'm working on it
Maybe I'll master this art form someday
If I quote all the lines off the top of my head
Would you believe
That I fully understand all these things I've read
I'm just trying
To find my way
Trying
To find my way
Trying
To find my way the best that I know how
Eddie Vedder - Society
with which we have agreed
You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free
Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space
The Beatles - I've just seen a face
Denna låten har snurrat i mitt huvud hela dagen
I can't forget the time or place were we just met
She's just the girl for me
and I want all the world to know we met
Mm mm mm mm mm mm
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
and I'd have never been aware
but as it is I dream of her tonight
Da da da da da da
Falling, Yes I am falling
And she keep calling
me back again
I have never known the like of this
I've been alone and I have missed things
and kept out of sight
for other girls were never quiet like this
Da da da da da da
Lyrics speak
Party like a Rockstar. Mysko helg. Ska ut på promenad med Oskar.
DEAD BY APRIL
LOSING YOU
All I have is you
It is all that I'm breathing for
All I need is you
Now I can't make it through
I am losing you forever
I am lost in pain without you
I am leaving ground forever
(forever)
IN MY ARMS
In my arms you'll be fine, I'll never let go
All you've lost will come again
Just stay here with me
Never look back, never again, it's over
Everything ends here in my arms
CARRY ME
Carry me, embrace me,
What if I win or lose,
This is not true
Carry me
Do you see me, do you see me?
As I see you, so many tears in me have fallen
so many steps, I have been crawling
PAINTING SHADOWS
What if I told you there is no tomorrow,
If I told you I just can't hold on.
What if you watch me walk away by tomorrow?
If I told you tomorrow will be gone!
WHAT CAN I SAY
What can I say, What can I do
This is who I am and I am hurting you
What can I say, what can I do
No matter how strong my feelings are
I always end up hurting you
KAPTEN RÖD - ENSAMHÄLLET
Från den djupaste dal till dom ljusaste dar
Jag säger till dig; du o jag klarar det ihop
färden är lång och bördan är stor
Men jag vet att, du o jag klarar det ihop
för den ena har styrka och den andra har mod
Du o jag klarar det ihop
vi går tillsammans mot en helt bataljon
Du o jag klarar det ihop
Ah dom säger; vart man än går är det ödsligt o kallt
så länge som man flyr från sitt kall
Men om ditt kall inte riktigt passar deras mall
gör dom allt för att få dig på fall
Oh dom övervakar dig, spioner finns överallt
för det sticker i deras ögon
att se dig bli stark, för dom är svagare
Man är klar som kristall, vad som än kommer vi kommer stå pall
Alison Krauss & Union Station - That Kind of Love
Who would sell their soul for love?
Or waste one tear on compromise
Should be easy enough to know
A heartache in disguise.
But the heart rules the mind
And the going gets rough
Pride takes the fall
When you find that kind of love.
I can't help feeling like a fool
Since I lost that place inside
Where my heart knew it's way
And my soul was ever wise.
Once innocence was lost
There was not faith enough
Still my heart held on
When it found that kind of love.
Though beauty is rare enough
Still we trust somehow we'll find it there
With no guarantee it seems to me
At least it should be fair.
But if it's only tears and pain
Isn't it still worth the cost
Like some sweet saving grace
Or a river we must cross.
If we don't understand
What this life is made of
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love.
'Cause when innocence is lost
There is not faith enough
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love...
The Pussycat Dolls - Jai Ho (You are my destiny)
This beat is heavy, so heavy you gonna feel it
I can (I can) feel you (feel you),
Rushing through my veins
There's a notion in my heart
I will never be the same
(Jai Ho)
Just keep it burnin', yeah baby, just keep it comin' (Jai Ho)
You're gonna find out baby, I'm one in a million
Bryan Greenberg - Waiting for Now
Don't ask me to give
Don't ask me to steal
Don't ask me to love
Don't ask me to feel
This life is a haze
Are these years or are these days
Seeing the world while my eyes stay glazed
Waiting to give
Waiting to go
Waiting to live I'm waiting to know
Waiting to roam
Waiting for time
Waiting for home I'm just waiting for mine
Waiting for her
Waiting for sounds
Waiting for words I'm waiting for now
I'm just waiting for now
Don't crowd me to breathe
Don't ask me I can't speak
Don't show me I can't see
So I'll just wait
One day we'll find a nest
One day all our dreams will manifest
One day they say it will all make sense
Or will we die waiting?
Waiting to give
Waiting to go
Waiting to live we're waiting to know
Waiting to roam
Waiting for time
Waiting for home we're all waiting for signs
Waiting for her
Waiting for sounds
Waiting for words I'm waiting for now
I'm just waiting for now
Dana Glover - It is you (I have loved)
In the way you look at me
There’s a smile, there’s a truth
In your eyes
What an unexpected way
On this unexpected day
Could it be this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along
There's no more mystery, it is finally clear to me
You’re the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along
There were times I ran to hide
Afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night without you
But now I know just who you are
And I know you hold my heart
Finally this is where I belong
And it is you I have loved all along
And no more mystery, it is finally clear to me
You’re the home my heart searched for so long
It is you I have loved all along
Over and over I’m filled with emotion
Your love, it rushes through my veins
And I am filled with the sweetest devotion
As I look into your perfect face
There's no more mystery, it is finally clear to me
You’re the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved
It is you I have loved
It is you I have loved all along
If You Seek Amy
la la la la la la la la
Oh baby baby have you seen Amy tonight?
Is she in the bathroom? Is she smokin up outside? Ouuh
Oh baby baby does she take a piece of lime
For the drink that I'ma buy her
Do you know just what she likes so?
Oh oh tell me have you seen her
Cuz I'm so-oh oh

Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to
If U Seek Amy

But can't you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If U
Seek Amy
Love me, hate me
Ron Pope - Drop In The Ocean
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
I don't wanna waste the weekend
If you don't love me pretend
A few more hours then it's time to go
As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you keep warm
It's too late to cry
Too broken to move on
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
Misplaced trust and old friends
Never counting regrets
By the grace of God I do not rest at all
New England as the leaves change
The last excuse that I'll claim
I was a boy who loved a women like a little girl
And still I cant let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No
No
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No
No
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Oh
Oh
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
You are my heaven
I Gotta Find You - Joe Jonas
Of what it means to know just who I am
I think I've finally found a better place to start
But no one ever seems to understand
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be, you're not that far
You're the voice I hear in side my head
The reason that I'm singing'
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the remedy I'm searching hard to find
To fix the puzzle that I see inside
Painting all my dreams the colour of your smile
When I find you it will be alright
Linkin Park - Carousel
Her secret disguised behind the lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight
Staring at her inside
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family asking if she's alright
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well all shes gotta do is stop kidding herself
She can only fool herself for so long
3 Doors Down - Going Down In Flames
Don’t tell me what you believe
Cause you won’t be there
To catch me when I fall
But you’ll need me when I’m not here at all
Miss me when I’m gone again, yeah
Don’t tell me how life is
Cause I don’t really don’t want to know
Don’t tell me how this game ends
Cause we’ll just see how it goes
Paramore - For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic
Just talk yourself up
And tear yourself down
You built your wooden wall
Now find a way around
Well what's the problem?
You've got a lot of nerve
So what did you think I would say?
You can't run away, you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
You can't run away, you can't run away
You wouldn't
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away
I'm not so naive
My sorry eyes can see
The way you fly shy
Of almost everything
Well, if you give up
You'll get what you deserve
So what did you think I would say?
You can't run away, you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
You can't run away, no you can't run away
You wouldn't
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away
You were finished long before
We had even seen the start
Why don't you stand up, be a man about it?
Fight with your bare hands about it now
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay well did you
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
