“The Scientist”

Come up to meet you, tell you Im sorry
You dont know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
Im going back to the start

Innocence Mission

“We are coming away, everything’s changed
Everything’s different now.
Everything even the sun

You say suddenly you
cannot see yourself out in the world
With your school suitcase
Tomorrow – well, you don’t know,
you don’t know”

Innocence Mission, “Everything’s Different Now”

“The waiting drove me mad
You’re finally here and I’m a mess
I take your entrance back
Can’t let you roam inside my head”

Sister Hazel

“There’ve been times I’m so confused
But all my roads, they lead to you
I just can’t turn and walk away
It’s hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I’ll always be with you
but words can’t say and I can’t do
enough to prove it’s all for you”

Sister Hazel “All For You”

“Walk the Line”
by Johnny Cash

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you’re mine,
I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I’ll admit I’m a fool for you
Because you’re mine,
I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I’ve known proves that it’s right
Because you’re mine,
I walk the line

You’ve got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can’t hide
For you I know I’d even try to turn the tide
Because you’re mine,
I walk the line

“I Will Not Take These Things for Granted”
by Toad the Wet Sprocket

One part of me just wants to tell you everything
One part just needs the quiet
And if I’m lonely here, I’m lonely here
And on the telephone
You offer reassurance

I will not take these things for granted

How can I hold the part of me that only you can carry
It needs a strength I haven’t found
But if it’s frightening, I’ll bear the cold
And on the telephone
You offer warm asylum

I’m listening
Flowers in the garden
Laughter in the hall
Children in the park
I will not take these things for granted
Anymore

To crawl inside the wire and feel something near me
To feel this accepting
That it is lonely here, but not alone
And on the telephone
You offer visions dancing

I’m listening
Music in the bedroom
Laughter in the hall
Dive into the ocean
Singing by the fire
Running through the forest
And standing in the wind
In rolling canyons

I will not take these things for granted

Land of Confusion

“I won’t be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We’re not just making promises
That we know we’ll never keep.

Too many men
There’s too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can’t you see
This is a land of confusion.

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.”

“Land of Confusion” was originally written and performed by Genesis, and recently covered in kick-ass fashion by Disturbed.

David Gray

“Maybe that it would do me good
If I believed there were a god
Cut in the starry firmament
But as it is that’s just a lie
And I’m here eating up the boredom
On an island of cement
This ain’t no love that’s guiding me”

David Gray, “Ain’t No Love”

You only want it ’cause it’s over.”

“I am a writer, a writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I’ve written pages upon pages
trying to rid you from my bones.”
