Line the room
Find a drink and drain the glass as fast as you can think to
The cheap perfume
In a room of people watching, it intoxicates you
They start to play
Then they start to play
It shakes the floor
It stings your ears, but this is what we trade our hearing for
The crowd stands still
No one's moving, they'd just rather stand and wait until
Someone starts to move
Someone starts to move
Shake, shake, shake
It's what you make of it, take what you will
You know, know, know your only mistake
If if you stand still
So shake, shake, shake
It's all what you make of it, break it until
You know, know, know your only mistake
Is if you stand still
It's only up to you
It's only up to you
Forget yourself
This room is hot, but we can make it hotter with your help
I'll dance with you
We'll dance together until everybody's moving too
Everybody moves
When everybody moves
Shake, shake, shake
It's what you make of it, take what you will
You know, know, know your only mistake
If if you stand still
So shake, shake, shake
It's all what you make of it, break it until
You know, know, know your only mistake
Is if you stand still
It's only up to you
It's only up to you
It's only up to you
It's only up to you

The Storm - Marshall Potts
Didn’t I Warn You
Didn’t I Warn You Enough
Didn’t I Give You
Didn’t I Give You What You Want
Didn’t I Love You
Didn’t I Love You Enough
Didn’t I Save You
Didn’t I Save You From Yourself
When the Wind comes it brings change (We are worlds apart)
And Only Truth alone remains (We are worlds Away)
Cause it reveals your Pain (We are worlds apart)
That’s Why The Storm Came
Didn’t I Hold You
Didn’t I Hold You Enough
You Couldn’t Feel Me You Were Just Drowning In Your Loss
I Couldn’t Heal You I Couldn’t Heal You Enough I Couldn’t See You
I Couldn’t Feel the Weight of Your Cross
In my broken Heart I see (We are worlds apart)
What the Storm revealed in Me (We are worlds away)
That we reflect the Love we Seek (We are worlds apart)
That’s why I came to Say (We have to change our ways)
Wake Up
Just Get UP
Let’s Go, Let’s Go!!!
Didn’t I Warn You
Didn’t I Warn You Enough
Didn’t I Give You
Didn’t I Give You My Love
(We reflect the Love We Seek)
Didn’t I Warn You Enough
Didn’t I Give You
Didn’t I Give You What You Want
Didn’t I Love You
Didn’t I Love You Enough
Didn’t I Save You
Didn’t I Save You From Yourself
When the Wind comes it brings change (We are worlds apart)
And Only Truth alone remains (We are worlds Away)
Cause it reveals your Pain (We are worlds apart)
That’s Why The Storm Came
Didn’t I Hold You
Didn’t I Hold You Enough
You Couldn’t Feel Me You Were Just Drowning In Your Loss
I Couldn’t Heal You I Couldn’t Heal You Enough I Couldn’t See You
I Couldn’t Feel the Weight of Your Cross
In my broken Heart I see (We are worlds apart)
What the Storm revealed in Me (We are worlds away)
That we reflect the Love we Seek (We are worlds apart)
That’s why I came to Say (We have to change our ways)
Wake Up
Just Get UP
Let’s Go, Let’s Go!!!
Didn’t I Warn You
Didn’t I Warn You Enough
Didn’t I Give You
Didn’t I Give You My Love
(We reflect the Love We Seek)

Bad - U2
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go
Surrender, dislocate
If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame
If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light and to the day
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
To let it go and so to fade away
To let it go and so fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no
If you should ask, then maybe
They'd tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go
This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation
Let it go and so fade away
To let it go, oh yeah, and so fade away
To let it go, oh no, and so to fade away
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
Wide awake, I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go
Surrender, dislocate
If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame
If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light and to the day
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
To let it go and so to fade away
To let it go and so fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no
If you should ask, then maybe
They'd tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go
This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation
Let it go and so fade away
To let it go, oh yeah, and so fade away
To let it go, oh no, and so to fade away
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
Wide awake, I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no

Please Speak Well of Me - The Weepies
I've been away a year and a day
You recognize love after the fact
You did what you did and that was that
Don't say words that you don't mean
When I'm gone, please speak well of me
Looking back now
I only wish I had been kinder
Did I ever know love, did I ever know love?
And could I have been blinder?
Don't hold back all your love for someday, for someday
I would say that I'm sorry if it would do any good
But to never regret means you have to forget
and I don't think that I could
You recognize love after the fact
You did what you did and that was that
Don't say words that you don't mean
When I'm gone, please speak well of me
Looking back now
I only wish I had been kinder
Did I ever know love, did I ever know love?
And could I have been blinder?
Don't hold back all your love for someday, for someday
I would say that I'm sorry if it would do any good
But to never regret means you have to forget
and I don't think that I could

Beautiful Dawn - The Wailin' Jennys
Take me to the breaking of a beautiful dawn
Take me to the place where we come from
Take me to the end so I can see the start
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me to the place where I don't feel so small
Take me where I don't need to stand so tall
Take me to the edge so I can fall apart
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me where love isn't up for sale
Take me where our hearts are not so frail
Take me where the fire still owns its spark
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Teach me how to see when I close my eyes
Teach me to forgive and to apologize
Show me how to love in the darkest dark
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me where the angels are close at hand
Take me where the ocean meets the sky and the land
Show me to the wisdom of the evening star
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me to the place where I feel no shame
Take me where the courage doesn't need a name
Learning how to cry is the hardest part
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me to the place where we come from
Take me to the end so I can see the start
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me to the place where I don't feel so small
Take me where I don't need to stand so tall
Take me to the edge so I can fall apart
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me where love isn't up for sale
Take me where our hearts are not so frail
Take me where the fire still owns its spark
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Teach me how to see when I close my eyes
Teach me to forgive and to apologize
Show me how to love in the darkest dark
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me where the angels are close at hand
Take me where the ocean meets the sky and the land
Show me to the wisdom of the evening star
There's only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me to the place where I feel no shame
Take me where the courage doesn't need a name
Learning how to cry is the hardest part
There's only one way to mend a broken heart

It's Called: Freefall - Paloma Paris
Called to the devil and the devil did come
I said to the devil, "Devil, do you like drums?
Do you like cigarettes, dominoes, rum?"
He said, "Only sundown, Sundays, Christmas
Some day's end, when I need a few friends
Now and again, I could never hope to keep them"
Thought to give friends what I thought that they wanted
Never had they needed a good friend as I've been
Don't get me venting on friends who resent you
'Cause all you've ever done is been a noose to hang on to
They thought was a necklace and, reckless
They fell into hell where you both hang with nothing to do but
Scratch, kick, let gravity win, like
Fuck this, let gravity win, like
You could leave it all behind
Even the devil needs time alone sometimes
You could let it all go
You could let it all go
It's called freefall
It's called freefall
Called to the devil and the devil said, "Quit
Can't be bothered, better handle your shit
Keep about your wits, man, keep about your wits
Know yourself and who you came in with"
Can I sit down? I've been hustling all day
I can't even count how many souls I've made
Off the same deal you on
Remember, the devil ain't a friend to no one
But fun, true
You could let it all go
You could let it all go
It's called freefall
It's called freefall
Called to the Devil and the Devil said "Hey
Why you've been calling this late?
It's like 2 AM and the bars all close at ten in hell
That's a rule I made"
Anyway, you say you're too busy saving everybody else
To save yourself
And you don't want no help, oh, well
That's the story to tell
You could let it all go
You could let it all go
It's called freefall
It's called freefall
You could let it all go
You could let it all go
'Cause ain't shit free but falling out
And that shit's easy, let me show you how, it's like
You could let it all go
You could let it all go
It's called freefall
It's called freefall

Delilah - Florence + The Machine
Now the sun is up and I'm going blind
Another drink just to pass the time
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
Maybe not tonight
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning around
Never knew I was a dancer
'Till Delilah showed me how
I can never let go
Never knew I was a dancer
I can never let go
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning around
Never knew I was a dancer
'Till Delilah showed me how
I can never let go
I can never let go
Never knew I was a dancer
I can never let go
Another drink just to pass the time
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
Maybe not tonight
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning around
Never knew I was a dancer
'Till Delilah showed me how
I can never let go
Never knew I was a dancer
I can never let go
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning around
Never knew I was a dancer
'Till Delilah showed me how
I can never let go
I can never let go
Never knew I was a dancer
I can never let go

Right Now - Rosi Golan
You used to quote Galileo to me in the room
Where you kept all your books and the pictures of the moon
Even though I knew it was never gonna last
Some things are better like that, mmm
Where you kept all your books and the pictures of the moon
Even though I knew it was never gonna last
Some things are better like that, mmm
I think about that moment with your dad in the fall
He never missed a beat and he loved to show you off
I didn’t know then that his time was so short
Some things we shouldn’t ignore, mmm
Like the cracks in the earth and your eyes when you hurt
How the boards in the floor left a crease in your shirt
That’s how I remember you right now
Like the fog on the street, how it made me feel
When you worked till you crashed with your hands on the wheel
That’s how I remember you right now, mmm
Somewhere in the walls of your second story flat
I hid a love letter that I can’t get back
With a picture of your dad and a word on a key
I hope you remember me
Like the cracks in the earth and your eyes when you hurt
How the boards in the floor left a crease in your shirt
That’s how I remember you right now
Like the fog on the street, how it made me feel
When you worked till you crashed with your hands on the wheel
That’s how I remember you right now, mmm
I know I shouldn’t pull the thread on the sweater that I’m wearing
But I can’t help but unravel
My heart it gets the best of me
You said you’d never fall in love in the dead of the winter
That’s how I remember you right now
Right now

Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield
I am unwritten, can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
I break tradition, sometimes my tries
Are outside the line
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten

Little Girl - Rosendale
Once upon a time, in a far away land
A little girl lived under her father's hand
She wept in silence and never talked
Her father made sure that he called the shots
He nailed the door shut, so she couldn't leave
Blew out the lights, so she couldn't see
But one night she broke through the window pane
Nothing could stop her great escape
'Cause this girl had plans
That he'd never understand
All the miracles she saw in her dreams
All the amazing things that she could be
So the little girl ran away from home, you see
Little girl, go on and write your story
Little girl, rejoice 'cause you're finally free
Little girl, be who you wanna be
You already know the strength inside your heart
You don't need someone to tell you who you are
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be
20 years later, through the hourglass
The little girl grew up in the time that's passed
All those late nights 'cause she worked three jobs
Started from pennies now she's her own boss
One day she opens up the door to meet
A stranger at window, guess who she sees?
Her father shows up with a face of red
Head down low he looks up and says
"I know you can't forgive
All the things that I did
But I'm hoping that you'll understand
For you, I always had a plan"
So the little girl showed him all the things she achieved
The world she saw from all the highest peaks
How she moved the mountains with her fingertips
Head to toe, her father finally admits
"You already know the strength inside your heart
You don't need someone to tell you who you are
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be"
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be
Be who you wanna be
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be
Ah
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be

Yes I'm a Mess - AJR
I leave my house at 3 o' clock
With 200 texts and 2 missed calls
Guess all of the friends that I pissed off
All talked
And I took a job for just July
But feels like I might be here for life
Yeah I'm in it now
I'm in it now
Could I start again, somehow?
Yes I'm a mess with an S on my chest
Got stress filling up my head
So I spent last night
Blowing up my life
Now you won't see me again
Cheers to the front and cheers to the back
And cheers to the 2010s
I could hate my guts
When the sun comes up
But I like myself like this
I like myself like this
Why should I fix the shit I've done
When I could just pack my shit and run
Delete every number from my phone
So long
Yeah I'll get new shirts cause mine all stink
And I'll tell my boss what I really think
Yeah I'm in it now
I'm in it now
Could I start again, somehow?
Yes I'm a mess with an S on my chest
Got stress filling up my head
So I spent last night
Blowing up my life
Now you won't see me again
Cheers to the front and cheers to the back
And cheers to the 2010s
I could hate my guts
When the sun comes up
But I like myself like this
I like myself like this
Yes I'm a mess with an S on my chest
So I spent last night
Blowing up my life
Now you won't see me again
Yes I'm a mess with an S on my chest
I could hate my guts
When the sun comes up
But I guess that's what this is
I like myself like this
I could hate my guts
When the sun comes up
But I like myself like this

Sea Meets Earth - Fever Fever
You stepped into the room
And I knew I was doomed to fall for you
The moment I saw you smile
Now everywhere you go
My eyes follow close
And I am just waiting for the time to be right
To tell you how I've loved you for awhile
Oh my heart is going wild
You wear me down
Like where the sea meets earth
I fade away
Just like the rocks have worn
Don't you see what you do to me
You keep crashing
Keep crashing into me
I keep turning
Turning out to be
Something more
Than what I was before
Your skin touched my skin
And could feel that the breaking of my stonecold heart was about to begin
The moment that we locked eyes
And now everywhere you go my eyes follow close
And I am just waiting for the time to be right
To tell you how I've loved you for awhile
Oh my heart is going wild
You wear me down
Like where the sea meets earth
I fade away
Just like the rocks have worn
Don't you see what you do to me
You keep crashing
Keep crashing into me
I keep turning
Turning out to be
Something more
Than what I was before
You wear me down
Like where the sea meets earth
I fade away
Just like the rocks have worn
Don't you see what you do to me
You keep crashing
Keep crashing into me
I keep turning
Turning out to be
Something more
Than what I was before
