I feel like a ticket that you’ve used
I feel like the pavement under your shoes
Like a piece of paper you would lose
What am I to you?And I feel like I’m dying deep inside
I cannot keep from crying late at night
I’m getting so many questions in my mind
What do I wanna do?
Should I get over you?‘Cause I would give my heart to you in seconds
And I would give you anything you wanted
But every time I do, you never seem to really want it
So I’m, I’m pullin’ away from you
It’s hard for me to doToday you say you love me and I love you
But then you say you want free and I’m confused
What if this time you lose me?
I’ll miss you too
What do you want to do?
And why is it hard to choose?
I don’t understand‘Cause I would give my heart to you in seconds
And I would give you anything you wanted
But every time I do, you never seem to really want it
So I’m, I’m pullin’ awayI don’t know what I’m gonna do
I’ll never find another youI would give my heart to you in seconds
And I would give you anything you wantedAnd I would give my heart to you in seconds
And I would give you anything you wanted
But every time I do, you never seem to really want it
So I’m pullin’ away from you
I’m pullin’ away from you

Somebody’s Heine’ is crowdin’ my icebox
Somebody’s cold one is givin’ me chills
Guess I’ll just close my eyes
Oh yeah, all right, feels good insideFlip on the tele’
Wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling behind my back
The bottle is ready to blowSay it ain’t so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain’t so
My love is a life-takerI can’t confront you, I never could do
That which might hurt you so try and be cool
When I say, “This way is a water slide away from me
That takes you further every day, hey, so be cool”Dear Daddy, I write you, in spite of years of silence
You’ve cleaned up, found Jesus, things are good or so I hear
This bottle of Stevens awakens ancient feelings
Like father, step-father, the son is drowning in the flood

The points of light
Shootin’ through the tree-stained vines
It draws me in
To catch a fistful of wind and chimeAll day long I heal for the honey
Waitin’ for the one I love
The noons are hot with heartache aplenty
I’m lovesick and undonePoised, unrefined
Delicate and loosely lined
Oh, I am a dreamer
But I’ll deny it til’ the day I dieYes, I’m lovesick and undone
I’m undone
Say it loud
Oh, out loud…“Heal for the Honey” from the album Heal for the Honey. Performed by Brooke Waggoner. Released by Swoon Moon Music. Written by Bethany Brooke Waggoner. ©2008 Brooke Waggoner Music (BMI)

When you were here before
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cryYou float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You’re so very specialBut I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong hereI don’t care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soulI want you to notice
When I’m not around
You’re so very special
I wish I was specialShe’s running out the door…
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so very special
I wish I was special“Creep” from the amended album Pablo Honey. Performed by Radiohead. Released by Parlophone/EMI.

Here we go, I guess I’m leaving soon
’Cause I’ve been here for too long
I’m not sure, but I don’t think I’ll miss you
You’ll never know, you’ll never knowI would sell you out in a heartbeat
’Cause you can defend yourselfThe lights are on in your apartment
But I just saw you walking out
I’ve got one guess to where you’re going
You’ll never know, I’ll never knowI’ll do what I want…

They just so happen to be playing at Exit/In this Friday (August 6th) in Nashville. If you’re in the area, check them out for sure.
Saw these guys play a show not too long ago. Incredible potential would be an understatement for their impressive sound. It’s rock with just the right splash of piano pop. I like to think the song below is a love child of sorts between Coldplay and Gavin DeGraw. That’s not to say their sound isn’t original though; it can certainly hold its own! And, yes, I do like Gavin DeGraw.

Is it really what they say it is
I’m tryin’ make sense of this
They always say
Never join the circus
Will they really take care of me
Love me like I wanna be
I’ve heard before this life can leave you emptyIt’s hard to see it from the bottom
When your light is still shinin’
It’s time for you to hurry up now
’Cause your time is risin’
It’s hard to see it from the bottom
When you wanna give up now
You gotta keep on goin’
’Cause your time is risin’(This is your come back, come back, come back, don’t look back)
Oh, you feel it comin’ now
You feel it fallin’ down
You gotta keep yourself together
(Keep yourself together)Is it really all they say it is
I can feel it gettin’ breathless
They always say the camera is contagious
Will the room start to cave in
When my steps start shiftin’
I’ve heard before don’t lose what you believe inIt’s hard to see it from the top now
When your light is just blindin’
No time to close your eyes now
No time for hidin’
It’s hard to see it from the top now
When you wanna fall back down
You gotta keep climbin’
Your time is risin’“Keep It Together” from the album The CO. Performed by The CO. Released by RPM Music Group. Written by Troy Akers and Collin Brace. ©2010 Fat Boy Chocolate Cake Music/Late For Dinner Music (BMI)
