Power of Two
Indigo Girls

Now the parking lot is empty
Everyone's gone someplace
I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed
A cooler and a two day suitcase
'Cause there's a place we like to drive
Way out in the country
Five miles out of the city limit we're singin'
And your hand's upon my leg

So we're ok, we're fine
Baby I'm here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
Look at them together then we'll take them apart
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two

I know the things that I am afraid of
I'm not afraid to tell
And if we ever leave a legacy
It's that we loved each other well

'Cause I've seen the shadows of so many people
Trying on the treasures of youth
But a road that fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash
And I'm glad we got off to tell you the truth

So we're ok, we're fine
Baby I'm here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
Look at them together then we'll take them apart
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two

All the shiny little trinkets of temptation
Something new instead of something old
But all you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface
And it's fool's gold
Fool's gold

Now we're talking about a difficult thing
Your eyes are getting wet
I took us for better and I took us for worse
And don't you ever forget it

Now there's steel bars between me and a promise
Suddenly bend with ease
And the closer I'm bound in love to you
The closer I am to free

So we're ok, we're fine
Baby I'm here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
Look at them together then we'll take them apart
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two

Better Days
Dianne Reeves

Silver gray hair neatly combed in place
There were four generations of love on her face
She was so wise no surprise passed her eyes
She's seen it all

I was a child about three or four
All day I'd ask questions
At night I'd ask more
But whenever she never would ever turn me away

I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong
And why does what I want always take so long
Please tell me where does God live
And why won't He talk to me

I'd say Grandma what is love
Will I ever find out
Why are we so poor what is life about
I wanna know the answers before I fall off to sleep

She saw the smile as she tucked me in
Then she pulled up that old rockin' chair once again
But tonight she was slightly remarkably
Different somehow

Slowly she rocked lookin' half asleep
Grandma yawned as she stretched
Then she started to speak
What she told me would mold me and hold me
Together inside

She said all the things you ask
You will know someday
But you have got to live in a patient way
God put us here by fate
And by fate that means better days

She said child we are all moons in the dark of night
Ain't no mornings gonna come 'til the time is right
Can't get no better days lest you make it through the night
You gotta make it through the night, yes you do

You can't get to no better days
Unless you make it through the night
You will see those better days
But you gotta be patient
Be patient oh baby be patient

Later that year at the turn of spring
Heaven sent angels down and gave Grandma her wings
Now she's flyin' and slidin' and glidin'
In better days

And although I'm all grown up
I still get confused
I stumble through the dark
Getting bumped and bruised
When night gets in my way
I could still hear my Grandma say
I can hear her say
I can hear her sayin

You can't get to no better days
Unless you make it through the night baby
You will see those better days
But you gotta be patient
Child do you hear me yeah
Well.....
You can't get to no no better days
Unless you make it you got to make it
You got to make it through the night

Oh Grandma oh Grandma
Do you see me now lady
Oh...

Year 3000

one day when I came home at lunchtime,
I heard a funny noise
went out to the back yard to find out if it was,
one of those rowdy boys.
stood there with my neighbour called peter,
and a Flux Capacitor.

he told me he built a time machine
like the one in a film I've seen,
yeah yeah... he said...

I've been to the year three thousand
not much has changed but they lived under water,
and your great great great grand daughter,
is pretty fine (is pretty fine)

he took me to the future in the flux thing and I saw everything,
boy bands and another one and another one ... and another one!
triple breasted women swim around town... totally naked!

we drove round in a time machine,
like the one in the film I've seen..
yeah yeah... he said...

I've been to the year three thousand
not much has changed but they lived under water,
and your great great great grand daughter,
is pretty fine (is pretty fine)

I took a trip to the yeah 3 thousand
this song had gone multi platinum,
everybody brought our 7th album.
it had outsold Michael Jackson,
I took a trip to the yeah 3 thousand
this song had gone multi platinum,
everybody brought our 7th album, 7th album.

he told me he built a time machine
like the one in a film I've seen,
yeah yeah... he said...

This Side
Nickel Creek


One day you'll see her and you'll know what I mean.
Take her or leave her she will still be the same.
She'll not try to buy you with her time.
But nothing's the same, as you will see when she's gone.

It's foreign on this side,
And I'll not leave my home again.
There's no place to hide
And I'm nothing but scared.

You dream of colors that have never been made,
You imagine songs that have never been played.
They will try to buy you and your mind.
Only the curious have something to find.

It's foreign on this side,
And the truth is a bitter friend.
But reasons few have I to go back again.

Your first dawn blinded you, left you cursing the day.
Entrance is crucial and it's not without pain.
There's no path to follow, once you're here.
You'll climb up the slide and then you'll slide down the stairs.

It's foreign on this side,
But it feels like I'm home again.
There's no place to hide
But I don't think I'm scared.
(there's no place to hide)
(there's no place to hide)
But I don't think I'm scared.
(there's no place to hide)
But I don't think I'm scared...

If You're Not The One
Daniel Bedingfield

If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don’t know why you’re so far away
But I know that this much is true
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you’re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right
And though I can’t be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I

Come Around
Rhett Miller

i'm dressed all in blue and i'm remembering you
and the dress you wore when you broke my heart
i'm depressed upstairs and i'm remembering where
and when and how and why
you have to go so far

am i gonna be lonely for the rest of my life?
am i gonna be lonely for the rest of my life?
i'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
unless you come around
so come around

i'm dressed all in white and i remember the night
you came on to me and opened up my heart
i was hollow then until you filled me in
now i'm empty again
i should have never let it start

am i gonna be lonely for the rest of my life?
am i gonna be lonely for the rest of my life?
i'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
unless you come around
so come around

no one else can fix me
although sometimes my heart tricks me
into thinking someone else will do
you are the only one
you are the only one

am i gonna be lonely for the rest of my life?
am i gonna be lonely for the rest of my life?
i'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
unless you come around
so come around

am i gonna be lonely for the rest of my life?
am i gonna be lonely for the rest of my life?
i'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
unless you come around
so come around
so come around
so come around

i'm dressed all in blue and i'm remembering you
and the dress you wore when you broke my heart

Hanggang Ngayon
Regine Velasquez

Bakit di magawang limutin ka
Bawat sandali'y ika'y naaalala
Tangi kong dasal sa Maykapal
Makapiling kang muli.

Bakit diko maalis sa isip ko
Ikaw ang laging laman nitong puso ko
Kahit pilitin kong damdamin ay magbago
Ikaw pa rin ang hinahanap ko

Refrain:

Hanggang ngayon,
Ikaw pa rin ang iniibig ko
Ikaw pa rin ang natatanging pangarap ko
Ikaw lamang
Hanggang ngayon

Ikaw lang ang tunay na minamahal
Ikaw lang hinihintay
ko ng kaytagal.

Ikaw ang ligaya,
Ang buhay at pag-asa
Ikaw lang, wala ng iba
kaya't

(Repeat Refrain)

Dapat ba nating pagbigyan
Ang ating mga puso ay muli pang buksan
At ibibigay ang lahat ang pag-ibig na tapat.
Sa iyo.
Sa iyo.

Hanggang ngayon,
Ikaw pa rin ang iniibig ko
Ikaw pa rin ang natatanging pangarap ko
Hindi ko na kayang mag-isa
Ikaw lamang,
Ikaw lamang,
Ikaw lamang,
Hanggang ngayon.

Jealous
Nina

Jealous of the girl who caught your eye
One of my darker days
When you looked at her where was I?
Shoulda been in her place
Here I am
All alone imagining what could have been
If I had been there

Chorus:
Jealous of the one who'se arms are around you
If she's keeping you satisfied
Jealous of the one who finally found you
Made your sun and your stars collide
La la la la la la la
She's a very very lucky girl
La la la la la la la

Jealous of the one who won your heart
They say it's a perfect match
She's gonna get to be where you are
And I don't get better than that
She'll say you're fine
Whisper words I wish were mine
And they might have been
If I had been there

Repeat Chorus

You know I'd fight the good fight
If I thought I'd change your mind
But if she makes you happy
I would leave that dream behind
Man, she better treat you right
And give you everything
Cause at the moment she doesn't
I'll be waiting in the wings

Repeat Chorus

La la la la la la la
She's a very very lucky girl

Million Miles Away
Joey Albert


I'd love to make you mine
'Cause it's the only way to hold you
In my wild imagination
Still I don't know how
To grab a chance and spend some time in just
A simple conversation


Chorus:


Just give it a try
Though I'm not chasing rainbows in the sky
I wanna hold you in my dreams
And make believe that it's true
Although I know, I know
That it's impossible to do
'Cause you're a star
People love you as you are
You're a million miles away from me


Wish that you were here
'Cause it's illusions everytime you're close to me
And sing me love songs
And it's the only way
I could tell the world I love you
Although you're a million miles away


Chorus 2:


Just give it a try
Though I'm not chasing rainbows in the sky
I wanna hold you in my dreams
And make believe that it's true
Although I know, I know
That it's impossible to do
'Cause you're a star
You're a star
You're a star
You're a million miles away from me

Sleep All Day
words & music by jason mraz

His after moan though cries oh no
He's building up a shine but he take it slow
And he knows it time to make a change here
And time to get away
And he knows it's time for all the wrong reasons
And time to end the pain
But he sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
Why don't we?

She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord
Would he take it all back what they've done
No way he said take it, take it and don't break it with your own two hands
That was my old man and he said
if all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it

oh what a lovely day to have a slice of humble pie
recalling of the while we used to drive and drive here and there
going nowhere but for us, nowhere but for the two of us
and we knew it was time to take a chance here
and time to compromise our lives for awhile
and it was time for all the wrong reasons
but time is often on my side and I give it to you tonight
and we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again

as time goes by we get a little bit tired waking and baked another Marlboro mile wide
it's sending the boys on the run in the time in hot summer sun
to swim beneath or over outside as they're reading between the lines
then they remember the part in the hallmark card where they read about the dreams
and reaching for the stars to hold on a little bit closer to
and they knew it was time, time to take a chance here
time to compromise our little lives for just a little while
and they knew it was time for all the wrong reasons
as time is often on my side and I give it to you, oh boy
and we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again

She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord
Would he take it all back what they've done
No way he said take it, take it and don't break it with your own two hands
That was my old man and he said
if all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it

Lose Yourself
Eminem

Look, if you had, one shot; one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip, yo;

His palms are sweaty, knees weak arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down
The whole crowd grows so loud he opens his mouth
But the words won't come out
He's chokin' how, everybody's chokin' now
The clocks run out, times up, over, bloah!

Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity, oh,
There goes rabbit he choked, he's so mad but he won't,
Give up that easy, no, he won't have it he knows,
His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter he's dope,
He knows that but he's broke, he so stacked that he knows,
When he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rap city better go capture this moment
And hope it don't pass him

You better lose yourself in the music,
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a life-time, yo

You better lose yourself in the music,
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a life-time, yo

His souls escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking, make me king
As we move toward'a, new world ord'a, a normal life is boring
But superstardoms, close to post mortum
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over, these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows he's known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads god only knows, he's grown farther from home
He's no father, he goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
These hoes don't want him no mo' he's cold product
They moved on to the next shmo' who flows he nose dove, and sold nada
So the soap opera's told it unfolds I suppose it's old partner
But the beat goes on da da dum da da dum datta

You better lose yourself in the music,
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a life-time, yo

You better lose yourself in the music,
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a life-time, yo

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mother fuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up, and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin' and step writin' the next cypher
You best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the, fact that
I can't get by with my nine to five
And I can't provide the right type'a
Life for my family 'cause man,
These goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer,
This is my life and these times are so hard
And it's getting even harder tryin' to feed and water my seed, plus
Teetertotter caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin' on and
Too much for me to wanna stay in one spot, another jam or not
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got
To formulate a plot 'fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot,
So here I go it's my shot, feet fail me not
This maybe the only opportunity that I got

You better lose yourself in the music,
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a life-time, yo

You better lose yourself in the music,
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a life-time, yo

You can do anything you set your mind to man.

Big Yellow Taxi
Counting Crows

Lyrics:
They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples,
LEAVE me the birds and the bees please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?

Listen, late last night, heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Well, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Well now, they paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
Now you wanna givin it all away

Hey, paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
