Mostly Memories - Less Than Jake

I can't seem to recognize
Either side of this modern version or fading person I was
I tried to memorize dates and times of
Old accidents and the failed attempts
Now I'm, I'm still afraid of those mistakes I've made

I'm mostly memories, most missed opportunities
Mostly minor tragedies, I'm mostly you and me
Mostly memories, most missed opportunities
Mostly abnormalities, I'm mostly you and me, you and me

I can't seem to recognize either side of my conversations
Or contemplations i've done
I've tried to memorize the truth and lies
Of the facts and fictions and the half truth admissions I've done
I'm still afraid of those mistakes I've made

I'm mostly memories, most missed opportunities
Mostly minor tragedies, I'm mostly you and me
Mostly memories, most missed opportunities
Mostly abnormalities, I'm mostly you and me, you and me

Out of luck and had enough
Out of trust and out of touch
Out of time I'm hanging up

I'm mostly memories, most missed opportunities
Mostly minor tragedies, I'm mostly you and me
Mostly memories, most missed opportunities
Mostly abnormalities, I'm mostly you and me, you and me

I'm mostly memories, most missed opportunities
Mostly minor tragedies, I'm mostly you and me
Mostly memories, most missed opportunities
Mostly abnormalities, I'm mostly you and me and you and me

I'm mostly memories

Be Still My Heart - The Postal Service

I was running late for work
So I didn't change my shirt
The evening's drinks left a lingering taste in my mouth
And when I left
You were fast asleep
Tangled in the sheets
And on the bus I could have sworn it was all a dream
And it didn't happen to me

And then I felt the scrapes
From the slippery subway grate.
Oh how you laughed
At my complete lack of grace.
But I could not recall
A more perfect fall
Cause when I looked up into your eyes
It didn't hurt at all.

And I thought, be still my heart
This could be a brand new start, with you.
And it will be clear
If I wake up and you're still here with me in the morning.

And I thought, be still my heart
This could be a brand new start, with you.
And it will be clear
If I wake up and you're still here with me in the morning.

I was going to link the video, but the the audio on all the videos just doesn't do the song justice. This song is amazing with headphones on, or through a high definition 6.2 surround sound system, :D

The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

The District Sleeps Alone Tonight - The Postal Service

Smeared black ink.
Your palms are sweaty,
And I'm barely listening
To last demands.
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
"What's buried underneath where I am?"
(Where I am)

I'll wear my badge:
A vinyl sticker with big block letters
Adhered to my chest.
It tells your new friends
"I am a visitor here... I am not permanent."
And the only thing keeping me dry is...

You seem so out of context,
In this gaudy apartment complex.
A stranger with your door key,
Explaining that I'm just visiting.
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving.
(I was the one worth leaving)

D.C. sleeps alone tonight.

(Where I am)
You seem so out of context
In this gaudy apartment complex.
(Where I am)
A stranger with your door key
Explaining that I'm just visiting.
(Where I am)
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving.
(I was the one worth leaving)

(Where I am)
The District sleeps alone tonight
After the bars turn out their lights.
(Where I am)
And send the autos swerving
Into the loneliest evening.
(Where I am)
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving.
Why I was the one worth leaving.
Why I was the one worth leaving.
Why I was the one worth leaving.

"When you're down, you should look around
There's someone out there for you
When you're happy, and feeling chatty
You won't believe, your fucking luck"

"Scream, at the top of your lungs" - Timbaland

"If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it,
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands, stomp your feet and shout "Hurray!" - Alfred B. Smith

I Will Follow You Into The Dark - Death Cab For Cutie

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Nice legs, Daisy Dukes, Makes a man go (whistles),
That's the way they all come through like (whistles),
Low-cut, see-through shirts that make ya (whistles),
That's the way she come through like (whistles),

'Cause I just set them up,
Just set them up,
Just set them up to knock them down,
'Cause I just set them up,
Just set them up,
Just set them up to knock them down

I think I should know how to make love to something innocent without leaving my fingerprints out,
Now,
L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce,
How do I say I'm sorry 'cause the word is just never gonna come out,
Now,
L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce

Tight jeans, double d's makin' me go (whistles),
All the people on the street know (whistles),
Iced out, lit-up make the kids go (whistles),
All the people on the street know (whistles),

'Cause I just set them up,
Just set them up,
Just set them up to knock them down,
'Cause I just set them up,
Just set them up,
Just set them up to knock them down

I think I should know how to make love to something innocent without leaving my fingerprints out,
Now,
L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce,
How do I say I'm sorry 'cause the word is just never gonna come out,
Now,
L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce

Push it baby, push it baby,
Out of control,
I got my gun cocked tight and I'm ready to blow,
Push it baby, push it baby,
Out of control,
This is the same old dance that you already know,
Push it baby, push it baby,
Out of control,
I got my gun cocked tight and I'm ready to blow,
Push it baby, push it baby,
Out of control,
This is the same old dance that you already know

I think I should know how to make love to something innocent without leaving my fingerprints out,
Now,
L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce

I Try - Macy Gray

Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I belive that fate has brought us here
And we should be together babe
But were not
I play it off, but Im dreaming of you
And Ill try to keep my cool, but Im feenin

I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, its clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, its clear
My world crumbles when you are not here

I may appear to be free
But Im just a prisoner of your love
And I may seem all right and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey
I play it off, but Im dreaming of you
And Ill try to keep my cool, but Im feenin

I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, its clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, its clear
My world crumbles when you are not here

Here is my confession
May I be your possession
Boy, I need your touch
Your love, kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I cant deny
Deny

I play it off, but Im dreaming of you
(but Im dreaming of you babe)
And Ill keep my cool, but Im feenin

I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide, its clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
(when you are not near aahh)
Goodbye and I choke (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I try to walk away and I stumble (hey, hey, hey)
Though I try to hide it, its clear (say it lord)
My world crumbles when you are not here

Goodbye and I choke (Im choking)
I try to walk away and I stumbe
Though I try to hide it, its clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
(when you are not near, yeah, yeah yeah)
Yeah, yeah..

Instant fan of this band, after hearing it on my iTunes.

Also if my drummer mate would give me his songs lyrics, I'd post the rest of them, but until then, you'll have to suffer without...

04 The Rest Of My Life

Rest Of My Life - Less Than Jake

I fell asleep last Saturday
Underneath polluted skies
I walked alone on those Jersey nights, and I
Saw the boardwalk start to fall
The emptiness starts to drown
The quiet corners off this town, and I...
Late last night, I made my plans
It was the only thing I felt I could do
Said goodbye, to my best friend
Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth

It's gonna kill me... The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life

This is my all time low
Somehow it feels so familiar
Somehow it seems so familiar
I feel like letting go
And every second that goes by
I'm screaming out for a second try
Said goodbye, to my best friend
Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth

It's gonna kill me... The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
I've got to live with them rest of my life

This is the mess I've made
These are the words I can't erase
This is my life support, shutting down, for the final time
And it twists like a blade
And kills me for the rest of my life

If you won't forgive me
The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life...

Leave Out All The Rest - Linkin Park

I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared
But no one would listen, 'cause no one else cared
After my dreaming, I woke with this fear
What am I leaving when I'm done here?

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest, don't be afraid
I've taken my beating, I've shared what I made
I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through
I've never been perfect, but neither have you

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are.

Break My Fall - DJ Tiesto

Break my fall
I found what was missing inside you
Break my fall

We enter the room
You brighten the darkness my love
In moments with you
There is no end in me or beginning to you

We move to the floor
A purpose combined my love
Like the motions of stars
Our dynamic symmetry combines

Break my fall
I found what was missing inside you
Break my fall
Na na na na na na na
Break my fall
I found what is missing inside you
Break my fall
Na na na na na na na

Always with you
Connected by blood my love
A purpose fulfilled
You're my light in this dark, dark world

This unspoken within
I feel complete my love
The moments apart
I'm craving your light in the dark

Break my fall
I found what is missing inside you
Break my fall
Na na na na na na na
Break my fall
I found what is missing inside you
Break my fall
Na na na na na na na
