At Least We Made It This Far - Relient K

I'm so tired of the phone, baby.
I don't like the tone of the way we
Say "I love you" a thousand times
We say those words
But we can't look into each other's eyes

Oh, and guess we made it
Or at least we made it this far
And it all looks smooth from here
Oh, and in a future day
There may be waves
But I must say the skies
Have never looked so clear
Oh, and I guess we made it
'Cause it ain't far to go from here

I'm so tired of the road, baby
Driving through the snow and just maybe
You'll sit back, think about the times
When we said those words
And we looked into eachother's eyes

Oh, and I guess we made it
Or at least we made it this far
And it all looks smooth from here
Oh, and in a future day
There may be waves
But I must say the skies
Have never looked so clear
Oh, and I guess we made it
'Cause it ain't far to go from here

You have given me a heart attack
You'll never know
What it's like to have to face the fact
You might let go
I won't stand for any thought of that
Heavens no
I will cling to you and always have
A stronger hold

Oh, and I guess we made it
Or at least we made it this far
And it all looks smooth from here
Oh, and in a future day
There may be waves
But I must say the skies
Have never looked so clear
Oh, and I guess we made it
'Cause it ain't far to go
From here

Tommorow

Time going by.
Time feeling slow.
Dreams of fun
Thoughts of nonsense
My future before me,
Like an unopened gift.

Tomorrow,
Come faster
When I am 5 years old,
Come faster
Tomorrow, hurry!
Tomorrow's never coming
I know it

Time going by.
Time feeling fast.
I will always be loved
Will I always be like?
Can I live it out?
So many queastions...

Tomorrow,
Come faster
When I am 12 years old,
No, wait. Stop!
Tomorrow, I didn't mean it
Tomorrow, you're coming
Savor it

Time going by.
Time faltering.
Everything so close
Thoughts of fame
Dreams of romance
The wrapping paper gone

Tomorrow,
Stay where you are
When I am 16 years old,
Stay where you are
Tomorrow, please stay
Tomorrow, you'll come
Anyway.

Time going by.
Time standing still.
I won't die soon
But eventually
I hope eventually
In spite of soon

Tomorrow,
Don't be close
Oh, please! Stay far away!
Don't be close
Tomorrow, you're coming
You always will be.

Time going by.


The City Lights

Happy is laughing.
Sad isn't sparkling.

Relaxed is tanning.
Apathy isn't moving.

Excitement is planning.
Boredom isn't thinking.

Joy is bouncing.
Depression isn't moving.

Chipper is singing.
Stress isn't dreaming.

The city of Emotion -
Doing and not doing.

Fireball

I am a spaz.
Like a New Year's Eve popper
Exploding in your face
Confetti up your nose

In body, a fireball.
In spirit, a fire.

A world without the close ones
Like floating in space
No one to laugh
At my dumb jokes

In body, a fireball.
In spirit, a fire.

I am worried
Fun is only fun when
It's still fun in the morning
They don't believe me

In body, a fireball.
In spirit, a fire.

They're useless
Or so they say
They don't know
How much they're worth
To me.
To Him.

In body, a fireball.
In spirit, a fire.

I know what they don't
I'm sorry I never said
How much you mean
To me.
To Him.
I'm so sorry.


Dual Confrontation

He gets the letter.
I can't believe
He has to leave

He gets his jacket.
I can't believe
He has to leave

He heads for the door.
No! This can't happen!
He said forever
He can't leave

What if...?
What if he disappears?
What if the captain
Shows up at my door?
He's gone, ma'am
I'm so sorry
The world heard my cry

But what if I stop him?
Will I then take two lives?

All the Time

We met like a flash
Lightning fast
That's what you call me
Just friends, right?
That's right.

We watched videos
A birthday song
Dragons and breakfast
Just friends, right?
That's right.

We said our goodbyes
With twinkling eyes
Why is it so hard?
Goodbye... darling...

You called me last night
You flatter me
Sing the alphabet
Just friends, right?


It's that first question
That goes unanswered that
Catches your attention
You'll never look away

We've just kind of stumbled
Upon this friendship
You've got my attention
But is it more than that?
Please don't answer that

You'll sing me a song
I'll sing it back
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves
In underwater caves

So tell me darling
Do you wish we'd
Fall in love?
All the time

All the time


What I Would Do For You - P@jAmS <3

If you want out of this hole that you dug yourself
Into, I have to be the first to help
And if you wanna leave this sad city all behind
We'll change our names to Fredrick and Clementine.

And I know it's really hard for you to see
But, baby, you're the only one that I could ever need
And when I'm with you, I can feel this small breeze
Telling me that should let go of everything

If you wanna cross this ocean to get back home
Know that I'll always be with you and you'll never be alone
I can't make you famous or buy you lots of stuff
But I can make it all better when it gets tough
And when I see you're smile or look into your eyes
Or see that you're sad and ready to cry
I wanna hold you until you get better
Heck, let's get real: I'll hold you forever

Desert Song - Hillsong

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the god who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame

I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and he is here.

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and coheir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

I will bring praise, I will bring priase
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

All of my life, in every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and he is here

This is my prayer in the harvest
Where favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
This seed I've recieved I will sow.

Hello Seattle Cover [Owl City]

Hello to Renton. My name is Juliet
And you are my Romeo
I want to fall asleep on my front porch swing
And wake up in your arms

Hello to Renton. I am a dotted fish
Making you laugh out loud
I'll walk a thousand miles just to hear you say
"I love you, my darling girl"

Hello to Renton. He is our Northern Star
Giving us direction
Although I'm known to ask you a lot of things
I just want to know you

Hello to Renton. I am your phone's rintone
Going off at midnight
I sing about my love and his far-off town
Leaving me just wondering

Hello to Renton. I am your to-do list
You'll complete when I'm home
We are the ones who can't play a fake guitar
But can rock the real thing

Hello to Renton. I hope we meet up soon
West or East - I don't care
Waiting for morning, hoping the night won't end
Paying close attention

Hello to Renton. My name is Juliet
And you are my Romeo
I want to fall asleep on my front porch swing...

Take me above your light, Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight, Sing me to sleep tonight

Invincible

We're so close but still so far
There goes my last wish on a star
As I gaze off to the west
I feel you hold me close to your chest
Singing, "I love you, baby girl."

Let's take an axe to this wall between us
I don't care if it's illegal
Let's chuck our phones into the ocean
Maybe feed them to a seagull
We don't need them anymore
And nothing's gonna stop us now

[Untitled] - P@jAmS <3

It's easy to say how I miss you
How your eyes make my heart stop
Your finger makes my gum pop
How you always make me smile
How you carry yourself and your style
How we can talk about nothing and still be happy
And I can type all these words without feeling sappy
I think that you've taken me over the top
When I met you and danced with you to that hip-hop
You look into my eyes and I in yours
Just to say goodbye hurts even more... z
I hold even longer to rules that you've set
So for that I will never forget
The fact that you're far won't stop us from talking
Heck, if anything, I might just start walking
So with that I say
That no matter what I do
I still miss you

Blond Brunette

They said she was smart
Maybe she was
I guess she was just one of those kids
Who was smart in school
But dumb in real life

She's said to have blond roots
Growing through her brain
With her short brown hair
Down to her neck
Singing right along
To her favorite Anberlin song

Then he saw her
Walking down that hall
He'd seen his share of girls
But she beat them all

That was the day he fell in love
With the blond brunette
The girl who stole his heart
With her brains and her smile
The girl guys wanted to meet

That day he fell so hard
For the blond brunette
The girl who broke my heart
With her class and her style
The girl I wanted to be

His Favorite Christmas Story - Capital Lights

He met her up in Delaware in 1937
She was wearing red lipstick to match her pretty dress
December 24th at a quarter till eleven's
When he finally gained the courage to ask her to dance

It was the night before Christmas, it was love at first sight
The carolers sang as they danced through the night
She was a small town girl, he was a traveling guy
He never caught her name before they said their goodbyes

A couple years later he was out on the road
Having Christmas dinner in a diner alone
When he saw a young waitress with a gleam in her eye
Her favorite day of the year she showed her spirits were high

She said, "Sir, can you shed a little holiday cheer?"
A simple Christmas story was all she wanted to hear
He looked prepared with a smile as he started to say
Here's my favorite Christmas story about a girl with no name

He said I met her up in Delaware in 1937
She was wearing red lipstick to match her pretty dress
December 24th at a quarter till eleven's
When I finally gained the courage to ask her to dance

Every holiday season as he traveled he'd tell
'Bout his Christmas dance partner that he never knew well
He'd share his favorite story with the locals he met
He was called the Christmas story telling traveling man

By age 53 he had done settled down
All the neighborhood kids liked to gather around
Just to listen to his stories about his life on the road
All he had now were these children he told

And every Christmas Eve they showed up before dark
He'd tell them all the story but they knew it by heart
They could quote it word for word, he always told it the same
It was his favorite Christmas story called the girl with no name

He said I met her up in Delaware in 1937
She was wearing red lipstick to match her pretty dress
December 24th at a quarter till eleven's
When I finally gained the courage to ask her to dance

Twenty years later as he took his last breath
It was on a cold Christmas morning on a hospital bed
The children were grown, he had nobody left
Except the little old nurse who was holding his hand

He said, "Ma'am can you share a little holiday cheer?"
A simple Christmas story was all he wanted to hear
But his eyes filled with tears at the words that she spoke
Because his favorite Christmas story was the one that she told

She said I met him up in Delaware in 1937
Though I never caught his name he was a traveling man
December 24th at a quarter till eleven
I'm so glad he got the courage to ask me to dance

How to Live

Let everything that leave my mouth
Light a fire for you no one can put out
As it takes the world in spark and flame
Let it echo out and bless your name

As I sing holy
Holy, holy, holy

Train my mouth up like it should be
As I bow before you, Father, will you change me?
There's nothing else I'd rather do
Than live my life full after you
But I lose your way and take my own
When all it gets me is all alone
God, I know that you forgive
Train me, teach me
Show me how to live

Up to Something

Your smile is slowly slipping my mind
Your eyes are slowly losing their shine
And I wonder what He's up to
When I let my mind wander towards you

He tells me I'm fine
In fact, I'm thriving
My God, you must be
up to something

I don't know
what to expect
All I know
is that You know best
Even if I leave
everything behind me
I will believe

Toyland

I originally wrote the first verse thinking of the last guy I gave my heart away to. Even now, more than a year later, it's still helping me through this. In a school full of premature relationships, an enormous need for real love, and compromises made for it, this song continually keeps me in check.
Thank you, Father, for giving me these lyrics.

I see you and it all comes back to me
I watched you fade
It all seemed black but see
I didn't really know what I wanted at the time
Can you help me find my way?
I've got something on my mind

You were everything I've always wanted
But you never seemed to meet my needs
It all comes down to me
I'm giving up on you and your for now
Until a time that's not so far from now
Please just understand
I'm moving out of Toyland

Looking back on our relationship
There's something wrong
Something so wrong with it
Emotions can't drive every move I make
Should I stay with the plan
Or leave my heart at stake?

You were everything I've always wanted
But you always seemed to let me down
Stop, just hear me out.
I'm giving up on you and yours for now
Until a time that's not so far from now
Please just understand
I'm moving out of Toyland

Now it's time for things to fall in place
Moving on
Won't need to see your face
My feeling won't take ahold of me today
My heart will let me down
But that will be okay becuase

There's someone out there who's everything I want
And He'll never cease to meet my needs
It all comes down to me
Can't you see? It's just not worth it
He needs my heart whole, pure, and perfect
Try to comphrehend
I've been around more than I want to
Just know I don't hold anything against you
Please just understand
I'm moving out of Toyland.

I see you and it all comes back to me...
