Karmin - Along The Road

...It was nice seeing him today

he's thinking of proposing to her,

and mentioned i may be best man.

This made me think of you

Especially later in the day

When i looked out the window 

And noticed the solar lamps

glowing.

They're the only thing left 

of the garden you fixed for me.

My brother and sister have made a mess

Of what used to be my home

Mirrors gone

The mannequin tucked away.

But seeing that solar lamp

shining in the night

Warmed my heart.

A combination of sadness

And happiness

Thinking of how beautiful

Some things were.

Marina & The Diamonds - Forget

...nothing was against my will

and still

I want to be over and done

for it all to be washed away

the pressure

of my performance

Ever since I can remember

life is like a tipping scale

like an abacus I played with

counting every win and fail

All along I've been dancing

with the devil

and he pretends to care

caressing my every thought

he'd leave me bare

All the time that I have wasted

chasing rabbits down a hole

when I was born to be the tortoise

I was born to walk alone...

-Note to Self-

...my enchanting journey...

...have courage, be kind

and continue to find magic

in everything you see and do

we can live as many lives as we choose

but I only want one great life

with you...

Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do

...fading in 

fading out

wanting you

on the edge of paradise

you set my heart on fire

my head spinning around

what are you waiting for?

so love me like you do

love me, love me

like you do

touch me like you do

what are you waiting for?...

Seven Lions feat. Kerli - Worlds Apart

...Sometimes I go back to you

and I don't know why.

Sometimes I try to fight it

and sometimes I let it be

but most times,

I don't know what to do.

I don't know if there's anything to do.

In a perfect world,

I would be perfect with you

and you perfect with me

But nothing is perfect

I know.

Sometimes

I think of your hair

its scent and texture

I think of your lips

the softest mouth

I think if we could

ever get it right

I think could we

ever last 

forever

Sometimes

I long to lay 

with you

and I wish I could heal forever

but I know I can't

and it's time

for the clock to be my friend...

Ask Embla - Father's Eyes

...it's impossible to lead a full life

when you're running on empty

We all say "one day someday"...

but why not today?

There could be a day you simply

miss out on all.

I want my lamp to be full

I want to be prepared for every situation

Even in seasons of infertility

...disconnected...
no more sad songs
no more strings, no crutch

and so today, I turn myself over to you...

to breathe and fill me up.

you'll get all my trust

all of my patience
to sing
a new song...

Watch

Be Prepared

And Stay Awake
