All-Time-Fave Song Lyrics

The Heart of the Matter
Don Henley

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear But I knew that it would come An old, true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone She said you'd found someone And I thought of all the bad luck And the struggles we went through And how I lost me and you lost you What are these voices outside love's open door Make us throw off our contentment And beg for something more?
I'm learning to live without you now But I miss you sometimes And the more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again I've been tryin' to get down To the heart of the matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
These times are so uncertain There's a yearning undefined And people filled with rage We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age? The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness They're the very things we kill, I guess Pride and competition Cannot fill these empty arms And the work I put between us You know, it doesn't keep me warm
I'm learning to live without you now But I miss you, baby And the more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I'd figured out I have to learn again I've been trying to get down To the heart of the matter But everything changes And my friends seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
There are people in your life who've come and gone They let you down, you know they hurt your pride You better put it all behind you, baby. 'cos life goes on You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby
I've been trying to get down To the heart of the matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me
I've been tryin' to get down To the heart of the matter Because the flesh will get weak And the ashes will scatter So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore



The Stone
Dave Matthews Band

I've this creeping Suspicion that things are not as they seem Reassure me Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep I've been praying For some way to show them I'm not what they see Yes I have done wrong But what I did I thought needed be done I swear Unholy day If I leave now I might get away This weighs on me As heavy as stone and as blue as I go I was just wondering if you'd come along To hold up my head when my head won't hold on I'll do the same if the same's what you want If not I'll go I will go alone I'm a long way From that fool's mistake and now forever pay No, run I will run and I'll be ok I was just wondering if you'd come along To hold up my head when my head won't hold on I'll do the same if the same's what you want If not I'll go I will go alone I need so To stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close And it weighs on me As heavy as stone and a bone chilling cold I was just wondering if you'd come along Tell me you will



Wise Up
Aimee Mann

It's not what you thought when you first began it You got what you want now you can hardly stand it Though, by now you know It's not going to stop. It's not going to stop. It's not going to stop 'til you wise up
You're sure there's a cure and you have finally found it You think one drink will shrink you 'Til you're underground and living down It's not going to stop. It's not going to stop. It's not going to stop 'til you wise up
Prepare a list of what you need before you sign away the deed 'Cause it's not going to stop. It's not going to stop No, it's not going to stop, 'til you wise up No, it's not going to stop, 'til you wise up No, it's not going to stop, so just give up


Trynna Finda Way
Nelly Furtado

I left my heart in San Francisco with some club kids on a crowded street somewhere The sky was red and he said, "would you like to come be a part of my North American Dream?" I could try to chase life down, down the street and I'd find the separation of fact and fiction
Chorus: I'm trynna finda way I'm trynna finda right And if I budge I just might I'm trynna finda way I'm trynna finda right And if I budge I just might
I left my conscience somewhere with my rythym I heard about it from the mouth of a man He was hopping some trains and combing the land Looking for a lover (kiss) planted in the east Trying to run from the dreaded fist beast And it lies, it lies in the picket fence call It was my own paradise with my own private corridor
Chorus
So I'm dancing to a new beat and it came to me in bed My veins became a strain of light that I let to flow instead And a wish came to me like Peter Pan at my window and said Evolve your destiny child and you'll never walk alone-no You'll never walk alone, but Travel to the land of surrender till' you can't cry no more Till you can't, till you can't And you'll never walk alone
all this inspiration is passing me by all I can do is chill when I really wanna fly and this pollution do nothing but dirty up my mind faster than forever in the blink of an eye to see past my lethargy is hard I feign the beauty of my youth is gone but the chemicals remain
Chorus
I travel to this land of surrender but I see it's all over me, over and over again...and I try and I try and I try...an angel on my left side and a devil on my right..and they fight and they fight and they fight..they're fighting, they're fighting, they're fighting for my attention...hello? You have my attention...Do I have your attention?...Can I have your attention please?...please, you've made such such an impression on me
