Runaway Train

by Soul Asylum
album: Runaway Train (2001), Black Gold: The Best of Soul Asylum (2000), Grave Dancer's Union (1992), Runaway Train (EP)


Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blow torch burnin
I was a key that could use a little turnin

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep


It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray


Chorus
Runaway train never goin back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there


Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

And Everything seems cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little outta touch, little insane
Just easier than dealin with the pain


Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
I runaway but it always seems the same

Can't Take My Eyes Off You

by Andy Williams

You're just too good to be true
Can' t take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much


At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak

But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

I love you baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
And let me love you baby
Let me love you

You're just too good to be true
Can' t take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much

I love you baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
And let me love you baby
Let me love you

Why this song?! Ehehehehe...I was having lunch at Wendy's with my Mom and this song suddenly played...now I can't get it out of my head! =))

Bring Me to Life

album: Anywhere But Home (Live in Paris) (2004), Mystary Promo (2002), Fallen (2003)

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb


Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home


(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life


(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead


All of this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life

When I Met You

Sung by: The Apo Hiking Society

There I was an empty piece of a shell,
Just mindin' my own world;
Without even knowin' what love and life were all about.

Then you came,
You brought me out of the shell
;
You gave the world to me
And before I knew,
There I was so in love with you.

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.

I love the touch of your hair
And when I look in your eyes
I just know, I know I'm on to something good

And I'm sure my love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world;
And take all my cares away with the aching part of me.

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.

You taught me how to love,
You showed me how tomorrow and today
My life is diff'rent from the yesterday;
And you, you taught me how to love
And darling I will always cherish you
Today, tomorrow and forever.

And I'm sure when evening comes around
I know we'll be making love like never before
;
My love, who could ask for more?

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.
When I met you.

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.
When I met you.

My Immortal

album: Fallen (2003), Origin (2000), Anywhere But Home (Live in Paris) (2004), Mystary Promo (2002)

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone


These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time can not erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me


These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time can not erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along


When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

Time Will Reveal

El Debarge


I.
What can I do to make you feel secure?
Remove all your doubts
so that you'll know for sure that you're
the apple of my eyes girl fulfllments of my dreams


II.
Time will show the value of just what you mean to me
More precious than silver
More precious than diamond rings
or anything that I can give you
It wouldn't mean a thing
If you don't have my love beside you there to guide to through
or anygood to know you do...


Chorus:
I know how you feel
But this time loves for real
In time it will reveal this special love that deep inside of us
will all reveal in time....


III.
I'll tell you I Love You
But won't believe its true
More precious than silver
More precious than diamong rings
or anything that I can give you
It wouldn't mean a thing
If you don't have my love beside you there to guide you through
or anygood to know you do....

Kiss from a Rose

Sung by: Mig Ayesa

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grave.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.

Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grave,
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the grave.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grave
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave.

Under the Bridge

Sung by: Red Hot Chili Pepers

Sometimes I feel
Like I dont have a partner

Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angel
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I drive on her streets
cause shes my companion
I walk through her hills
cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie

I dont ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Its hard to believe
That theres nobody out there
Its hard to believe
That Im all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I dont ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away

Identify

Sung by: Natalie Imbruglia

Your eyes, they send me to Eternity
Your heart may cast me to Hell
To Hell, I’m bound
But lately, it's your love
That's condemnation enough

Identify
Please identify
If it's me you want
Standing by your side
Identify
These tears of mine
Am I lonely or am I just alive?

I let time decide who and what
Will stand this test of love
Your hands were speaking, no?
I felt the movement go
The ice was breaking, so
I wonder why did I…

Identify
With you, my life?
To leave me empty
And see if I'd survive?

For every questioned hour
For every second devoured
You let me wander you
Into a myth that I live

Identify
Please identify
If it's me you want
Standing by your side
Identify
These tears of mine
Am I lonely or am I just alive?

Am I lonely or am I just alive?

Somewhere Only We Know

by Keane
album: Hopes and Fears (2004)


I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete


Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
(break)

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

I Miss You

Incubus

To see you when I wake up
Is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
Is a three-fold, utopian dream.

You do something to me that I can´t explain.
So would I be out of line if i said
I miss you.

I see your picture,
I smell your skin on the empty pillow, next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days
But already I´m wasting away.

I know I´ll see you again
Whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care
And, I miss You.
(i miss you)
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Call Me When You're Sober

Don’t cry to me.
If you loved me, you would be here with me.
You want me, come find me.
Make up your mind.

Should’ve let you fall,
Lose it all,
So maybe you can remember yourself.
Can’t keep believing,
We’re only deceiving ourselves,
And I’m sick of the lies,
And you’re too late.

Don’t cry to me.
If you loved me, you would be here with me.
You want me, come find me.
Make up your mind.

Couldn’t take the blame,
Sick with shame.
Must be exhausting to lose your own game.
Selfishly hated,
No wonder you’re jaded,
You can’t play the victim this time.
And you're too late.

So, don’t cry to me.
If you loved me, you would be here with me.
You love me, come find me.
Make up your mind.

You never call me when you’re sober,
You only want it ‘cause it’s over - it’s over.

How could I have burned paradise.
How could I, you were never mine?

So, don’t cry to me.
If you loved me, you would be here with me.
Don’t lie to me, just get your things.
I’ve made up your mind

Don't

Sung by M2M

When you walked in my world
I was someone else's girl
Every time you look in my eyes
All that I felt somehow dies

No no no no
Can't you see what you're doing to me
No no no no

[Chorus]

Don't look at me with that smile
Don't act like everything's fine
Stop putting dreams in my head
When I should've thought of him instead

When you say the things you do
It makes me want to be with you
And every time that he kisses me
You are always what I see

No no no no
You make me forget about him
No no no no

[Chorus]

No no no no
Can't you see what you're doing to me
No no no no

[Chorus 2x]

Akap

By: Imago

Nagtatanong
bakit mahirapsumabay
sa agosng iyong mundo

Nagtataka
Simple lang naman sana
Ang buhay
Kung ika'y matino

Sabihin sa akin lahat ng lihim mo
Iingatan ko
Ibaling sa akin ang problema mo
kakayanin ko

Pikit mata
kong iaalay
ang buwan at araw
pati pa sapatos kong suot

Nagtatanong
simple lang naman sana
ang buhay kung ika'y lumayo

Sasamahan ka sa tamis
Sasamahan ka sa dilim
Sasamahan ka hanggang langit
Sasamahan ka sa tamis
Sasamahan ka sa pait
Sasamahan ka sa dilim
Sasamahan ka hanggang langit
Sasamahan ka

I'm With You

Sung by Avril Lavigne

I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone tryin’ to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
(V)
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

(Mmm..)

I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything’s a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone tryin’ to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?

(VERSE)

Oh!

Why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeahe yeahe yeah!..yeahe yeah, yeahe yeah, yeah yeah, YYYEEEAAAHHH!!...(softly)
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I!
(loudly)
I'm with yououououou!
I'm with yououououou!

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I!

I'm with yououououou!
I'm with yououououou!

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I
(softly)
I'm with youoo
I'm with youoo
I'm wi...th.. you

Crazy Wisdom

Originally Sung by Fra Lippo Lippi
Revived by Truefaith

See it in the eagle flying
See it in a snowflake falling
Feel the wind right through your hair
Now take a bow and have your share

See it in the children playing
See it in a steam of laughter
Memories might fade away
Let's celebrate a brand new day
cause life will call out and sing
Life makes it hard not to believe

*And why should everybody need to know
every single why and how
Got no other, need no other
means to carry on

See it in the evening colours
See it in the open wheatfield
Swaying softly in the breeze
With all the grace and all the ease

See it in that crazy moment
When all is one and one is all
It's everywhere you'll ever go
It's everything you'll ever know
cause life will call out and sing
life makes it hard not to believe

*repeat

Hurt

Lyrics by: Linda Perry and Christina Aguilera

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away

Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again

Sometimes I wanna call you
But I know you won't be there
Ohh I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broken inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye
When it comes to this, oooh

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?

There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes
And see you looking back

Ohh I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself, ohh
If I had just one more day

I would tell you how much that I've missed you
Since you've been away
Ooh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Without You

It feels like a lifetime,
A thousand days have passed by
Since I held you close to me
If I could see that smile from my friend
I know that I could live again
I need you here with me


Heaven knows what to say
Even though for right
Now you're so far away
I hope and I pray
Somewhere in your heart I'll always stay


Girl, lately my sun doesn't shine without you
Never noticed what it feels like to be without you
Feels like I took my last step
And my last breath in my life ending
Had to say just what i was feeling girl
'cause my sun doesn't shine,
Sun doesn't shine without you


This is more for me than for you
Girl,
I finally see there's no substitute
For what we have

Do you know how much I love you
And what we share I can't forget
Girl a love like yours I'll never let just slip away
Just promise that you'll stay

Heaven knows what to say
Even though for right now you're so far away
Gonna tell you and show you
Do whatever I can do to get back to you

Girl, lately my sun doesn't shine without you
Never noticed what it feels like to be without you
Feels like I took my last step
And my last breath in my life ending
Had to say just what I was feeling, girl
'cause my sun doesn't shine,
Sun doesn't shine


Have you ever seen a flower that never blooms?
Seen a starless night without the moon
Well that's me without you
So come back and turn my nights into days


Girl, lately my sun doesn't shine without you
Never noticed what it feels like to be without you
Feels like I took my last step
And my last breath in my life ending
Had to say just what I was feeling, girl
'cause my sun doesn't shine,
Sun doesn't shine without you

Someday

Music & Lyrics by Nyoy Volante
Sun by Nina

Someday you're gonna realize
One day you'll see this thru my eyes
By then I won't even be there
I'll be happy somewhere
Even if I cared
I know you don't really see my worth
You think you're the last guy on earth
Well I've got news for you
I know I'm not that strong
But it won't take long
Won't take long

Someday someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday someone's gonna take your place
One day I'll forget about you
You'll see I won't even miss you
Someday someday

Right now I know you can tell
I'm down and I'm not doing well
But one day these tears they will all run dry
I won't have to cry, sweet goodbye

Is It Over

Music & Lyrics by Eric Cabahug
Sung by Nina

Lately, you and I haven't been talking
Lately, you and I were not connecting for real
You seem so far away distant and lost in a haze

Lately I've been doing much thinking
Wondrin' if it's a phase you're going through
My love is here to stay buy you are drifting away

Tell me
Is it over now

Between you and me
Is it time to let go now
And set our hearts free
Is it over now
Between you and me
If love's gone away
Baby please just tell me

Forever, didin't we promise we'd stay
Never, to go on our own sep'rate ways
I need to hear you say is this the end of our days

Tell me
Is it over now
Between you and me
Is it time to let go now
And set our hearts free
Is it over now
Between you and me
If love's gone away
Baby please just tell me
(2x)
