They're Playing Our Song

Blooming up from the ground,

3 rounds and a sound,

Like whispering you know me,

And you know me. 

-Blind Pilot: 3 Rounds and a Sound

Come on Skinny Love just last a year,

Pour a little salt we were never here,

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,

Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer.

-Bon Iver: Skinny Love

I want to swim away but don't know how,

Sometimes it just feels like I'm fallin' in the ocean,

Let the waves up take me down,

Let the hurricane set in motion, yeah,

Let the rain of what I feel right now, come down,

Let the ran come down.

-Blue October: Into the Ocean

I thought about the Big One, WW III,

Would we ever really care the world has ended, 

You could hold me here forever like you're holding me tonight,

I look at the big red button, and I'm tempted.

-Josh Ritter: Temptation of Adam

Things get damaged,

Things get broken,

I thought we'd manage,

But words left unspoken,

Left us so brittle,

There was so little left to give.

-Depeche Mode: Precious

I don't believe in anything but myself,

I don't believe in anything but myself,

But then you opened up a door, you opened up a door,

Now I start to believe in something else.
-Ingrid Michaelson: Soldier
