Dismantle Repair- Anberlin

One last glance from a taxi cab
Images scar my mind
Four weeks've felt like years
Since your full attention was all mine
The night was young and so were we
Talked about life, God, death, and your family
Didn't want any promises,
Just my undivided honesty, and you said

Oh oh, things are gonna change now for the better
Oh oh, things are gonna change, oh, they're gonna change

I am the patron saint of lost causes
A fraction of who I once believed (change)
only a matter of time
Opinions I would try and rewrite
If life had background music playing your song
I've got to be honest, I tried to escape you
But the orchestra plays on, and they sang

Oh oh, things are gonna change now for the better
Oh oh, things are gonna change

Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
Dismantle me down (repair)
You dismantle me
You dismantle me

Give me time to prove
Prove I want the rest of yours (prelude)
Call this a prelude to a lifetime of you
It's not that I hang on every word
I hang myself on what you repeat
It's not that I keep hanging on
I'm never letting go

Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
Dismantle me down (repair)
You dismantle me
You dismantle me

Save me from myself
Save me from myself
Help me save me from myself
Save me from myself

Oh oh, things are gonna change now for the better
Oh oh, things are gonna change

Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
Dismantle me down (repair)
You dismantle me
You dismantle me

This Too Shall Pass- OK GO

You know you can't keep letting it get you down
And you can't keep dragging that dead weight around
If there ain't all that much to love around
Better run like hell when you hit the ground

When the morning comes

You can't stop these kids from dancing, and why would you want to
Especially when when you are already getting yours?
'Cause if your mind don't move, and your knees don't bend
Well don't start blaming the kids again

When the morning comes

Let it go
This too shall pass

You know you can't keep letting it get you down
No you can't keep letting it get you down
If there ain't all that much to love around,
Oh you can't keep letting it get you down.

When the morning comes

The Set Up (You Need This)- Reel Big Fish

i guess it's not fair
for me to not care
but i don't, and that's why
you think i'm a great guy
but i want you and you want me too
and you need this, wanna give it to you
and i thought this time i'd say something new
i'll call you, i swear
so, next time be there
can't keep up, no more
should quit but, what for?
cause i want you and you want me too
and you need this, wanna give it to you
and i thought this time i'd feel something new
it's not cruel, i do like you
and i want you to feel that i do
well i want you and you want me too
and you need this wanna give it to you
and i thought this time i'd be someone true
yeah i want you and you want me too
and you need this, wanna give it to you
and i thought this time i'd say something new

Soul Meets Body- Death Cab for Cutie

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new

Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here

And I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain

And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
