Maria McKee - Breathe

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdJOpb6dJlY

At first I was scared when I opened up my head
And the motor that was runnin' was the mind of you
I was scared when I looked at my reflection
And the shine I saw were the eyes of you

I was scared when you touched my lips
And the breath I took was a breath that shook me with a shock
Like a flame as eternal as a song and the song is you and I

I will let you breathe through me
I will let you be with me

Whenever I'm alone and you're lost out there
I can feel you breathe ‘cause our lungs we share
Whenever I'm alone anytime anywhere
I can feel your heart beat ‘cause our blood we share

I was scared when you came into my room
The walls became the sea, your voice was the moon
Oh when you rocked me in your arms
Like a song, a wave on the tide of you and I

I will let you breathe through me
I will let you be with me

My heart beats your blood
Your breath fills my lungs
Your heart beats my blood
My breath fills your lungs

I was scared when you came into my room
The walls became the sea, your voice was the moon
Oh when you rocked me in your arms
Be with me...

I will let you breathe through me
I will let you...
I will let you...
I will let you...

Now you know me  

You know how proud I am  

And what I'm gonna tell you now  

Won't be easy to say  

Before I left your side 

Ooh, I was so happy then  

But I've been so lonely  

Since I've been away 

Oh, baby 

 I've tried and I know I can't make it alone  

It's such a hard way to go  

I just can't make it alone  

There's something in my soul  

That will always (always)  

Lead me back to you  

What can I say now?  

Sorry is just not good enough  

I couldn't blame you if you hurt me now  

The way I hurt you then  

But who else can I turn to? 

Oh, baby, I'm begging you  

Won't you reach out for my dying soul? 

And make me live again  

Oh, baby, it's so hard  

I've tried and I know I can't make it alone  

It's such a hard way to go  

I just can't make it alone 

There's something in my soul (in my soul)  

That will always 

Lead me back to you  

I just can't make it by myself 

Just can't make it byself  

Baby, help me I've tried and I know I can't make it alone  

It's such a hard way to go  

And I can't make it alone  

There's something in my soul (in my soul)  

That will always (always)  

Lead me back to you  

Oh, help me (Please help me)  

You know I need you (I need you) 

 I'm saying that I need you  

I just can't make it by myself (I just can't make it by myself)  

I just can't make it all alone (I just can't make it all alone) 

 I just can't make it by myself (I just can't make it by myself)

Lone Justice - Shelter

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvo9MbTkUbE

 

Well all right you gave it all up for a dream
Fate proved unkind
To lock the door and leave no key
You're unsure
Well baby I'm scared too
When the world crushes you

[Chorus]
Let me be you're shelter shelter
From the storm outside
Let me be your shelter shelter
From the endless tide

Disillusion has an edge so sharp
It tears at your soul
And leaves a stain upon your heart
I need you to wash mine clean
You've felt it too
And you need me

[Chorus]

Your struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes

[Chorus]

Your struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes

[Chorus]

Let me be your shelter shelter shelter shelter shelter

Allman Brown & Liz Lawrence - Sons and Daughters

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eru8DlHoOFM

And I will hold you tight
Like the moon in the arms of the sky
And I will keep you warm
I will build a fire in this house

And I'll build a fire
You fetch the water and I'll lay the table
And in our hearts
We still pray for sons and daughters
And all those evenings
Out in the garden, with red red wine
These quiet hours turning to years

And I, I'll wrap myself
Around your heart
I'll be the walls of his heart
And I, I'll keep a light on
To call you back home

And I'll build a fire
You fetch the water and I'll lay the table
And in our hearts
We still pray for sons and daughters
And all those evenings
Out in the garden, with red red wine
These quiet hours turning to years

And it's all to come
For now we're still young
Just building our kingdom
But it's all to come

And I'll build a fire
You fetch the water and I'll lay the table
And in our hearts
We still pray for sons and daughters
And all those evenings
Out in the garden, with red red wine
These quiet hours turning to years

It's all to come
For now we're still young

Counting Crows - American Girls

 

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_MUfryl-w

She comes out on Fridays every time  

Stands out in a line  

I could have been anyone she'd seen  

She waits another week to fall apart  

She couldn't make another day 

I wish it was anyone but me  

I could have been anyone you see  

She had something breakable just under her skin  

American girls are weather and noise  

Playing the changes for all of the boys  

Holding a candle right up to my hands  

Making me feel so incredible  

 

 

She comes out of closets every night  

But then she locks herself away  

Where she could keep everything from me  

I could have been anyone you see  

She's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin  

American girls are weather and noise  

Playing the changes for all of the boys  

Holding a candle right up to my hand  

Making me feel so incredible  

 

 

Little shiver shaking me everyday  

But I could get this same thing anywhere  

So if she goes away  

Well, it's alright and I'm ok  

Hey, she said come back again tonight  

And I said, I might, I might, I might  

She said, well that's alright 

 If it's alright, it's alright with you 

 If it's alright, if it's alright with me 

 

 

I waited for an hour last Friday night  

She never came around  

She took almost everything from me  

I'm going through my closets  

Trying on her clothes, almost everyday  

I could have been anyone you see  

I wish it was anyone but me  

Nothing but pills and ashes under my skin 

American girls oh are weather and noise  

Playing the changes for all of the boys  

Holding a candle right up to my hand  

Making me feel so incredible  

If I make you cry, you tell me why  

I'll try again, if you'll let me try  

American girls are feathers and cream  

Coming to bed so edible  

American girls, oh  

American girls  

American girls  

Oh, oh, oh, oh  

American girls, oh  

American girls American girls 

 Oh, oh, oh, oh  

You made me cry  

You made me cry  

You made me cry  

Yeah, you made me cry  

You made me cry  

Hey, Miss American Girl  

Oh, oh, oh, yeah

Maria McKee , I Wish I Was Your Mother

I scream at you for sharing
I curse you just for caring
I hate the clothes you're wearing, they're so pretty
I tell you not to see me
I tell you not to feel me
I make your life a drag, it's such a pity

I watch your warm glow palin'
I watch your sparkle fadin'
As you realize you're failin' 'cause' you're so good
Oh, I don't mean to upset you
But there's so much crime to get through
If I could make it easier then I would

I wish I was your mother, I wish I'd been your father
And then I would have seen you, would have been you as a child
Played houses with your sisters and wrestled with all your brothers
And then who knows, I might have felt a family for a while

It's no use me pretending
You give and I do the spending
Is there a happy ending, I don't think so
'Cause even if we make it
I'll be too far out to take it
You'll have to try and shake it from my head

I wish I was your mother, I wish I'd been your father
And then I would have seen you, would have been you as a child
Played house with your sisters and wrestled with all your brothers
And then who knows, I might have felt a family for a while

Konstantine · Something Corporate

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkUJkKtF_LE

I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand
All the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big dreams
It's always you in my big dreams

And you tell me
That it's over
But I can't stand here in a patch of four-leaf clover
And you're restless
And I'm naked
You gotta get out
You can't stand to see me shaking
No, could you let me go
I didn't think so

And you don't want to be here in the future
So you say
The present's just a pleasant
Interruption to the past
And you don't wanna look much closer
'Cause you're afraid to find out all this hope
You had sent into the sky by now had crashed
And it did because of me

And then you bring me home
Afraid to find out that you're alone, no
And I'm sleeping in your living room
We don't have much room
To live

And I had dreams that I would learn to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rockstar
And there was hope in me
That I could take you there
But dammit you're so young
But I don't think I care
And if I hurt you then I'm sorry
To just this guilt has got the best of me

And then you bring me home
'Cause we both know what it's like to be alone, no
And I'm dreaming in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

And Konstantine is coming down the stairs
Doesn't she look good
Standing in her underwear?
And I've been thinking, what I've been thinking, you know
But she's been drinking
And it doesn't get me anywhere

And Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do
Was touch her long blond hair
And I was thinking, what I was thinking ya know
But we've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere

This is because I can spell confusion with a K
It's hard to like it
It's to dying in another's arms
And why I had to try it

It's to Jimmy Eat World
And those nights in my car
But this time I'm alone
And I don't see those stars

I'm not your star
Isn't that what you said
What you thought this song meant
You thought this song meant

If this is what it takes
To lie in my mistakes
And live with what I did to you
And all the things I put you through

I always catch the clock it's 11:11
And now you wanna talk
It's not hard to dream
You'll always be my Konstantine

They'll never hurt you like I do
No, they'll never hurt you like I do
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

This is to a girl who got into my head
With all these pretty things she did
Hey baby, you know that you keep me up in bed

It's to a girl who got into my head
With all the fucked-up things I did
Hey maybe baby, you could keep me up in bed

My Konstantine
Spin around me like a dream
We played out on this movie screen
And I said
Did you know I've miss you
Did you know I've miss you
Did you know I've miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you

God, I miss you

And then you bring me home
And we'll go to sleep but this time not alone
No no
And you'll kiss me in your living room
And you see, no, that I've been missing in my living room
'Cause it's all you, yeah this is what I miss, what I miss

We don't have much room
I said, does anybody really need that room?
Because we all need a little bit of room
To live

My Konstantine
