Go Outside by Cults

Comment: It’s summer! Let’s go outside!

Lyrics:

I really want to go out
I really want to go outside and stop to see your day
You really want to hole up
You really want to stay inside and sleep the light away

I really want to go out
I really want to go outside and make it light all day
You really want to hole up
You really want to stay inside and not care where you lay

Well I know what’s good (gold?)
Exactly cause I have been there before
Yeah I know what’s good (gold?)
Exactly those things night cannot behold

I really want to go out
I really want to go outside and stop to see your day
You really want to hole up
You really want to stay inside and sleep the light away

I think it’s good to go out
cause if you don’t you’ll never make a memory that will stay
I think that you should wake up
I think I want to live my life and you’re just in my way

Comment: Oh, mince my heart, why don’t you? Oh, it already is.

Lyrics:

When you said you loved me, did you really love me? 
Or did the words just spill out like drool on my pillow? 
Because I was naked when you said those words
But I felt covered in your whispered worship
And as you passed out fast on my shoulder
I imagined a child 
Waiting so sad and still for his mom to arrive

Did she leave you an orphan 
In that big brown leather chair? 
Said, “Don’t you move a muscle, kid 
I’ll be back in twenty years” 
You were scared, you were lonely 
But you must’ve been aware
Life is a series of callouses, this is just another layer
So build them up, tough it out, yeah, that’s your skin
Don’t let anyone under there

When you said you needed me, did you really need me?
Or was it just someone? Oh, you’d take anything
Am I first on that list of yours, or am I second, or third? 
So who’s that ahead of me, some harlot from Pittsburgh? 
Or Detroit, Santa Fe, or San Diego? 
I know you’re so alone 
But how much affection does one guy really need?

Did you date a lot in high school? 
Were you always chasing girls? 
Couldn’t you find some young valentine 
To steal your heart for good? 
Were you content, or contemptible? 
Are your memories pleasant? 
Or is it a string of endless flings of bitter resentment? 
Seems that what you want and what you need doesn’t mean a thing
We’re just here for the taking

When you said you’d hurt me, did you think you hurt me? 
Are you really that cocky? Oh, what a heartbreaker! 
Well, I’ve got my armor, yeah, I’ve been through some battles before
And I met your old girlfriend, she said, “Baby, don’t bother” 
She told me you told her you’d hurt her
Funny, how familiar 
So how much of this relationship was rehearsed?

Did you act out as a child? 
Were you always crying wolf? 
Attention starved, you tried too hard 
Just to get someone to look
Now you’re the wolf in second-hand clothing
I’m the sheep in a pleated skirt
It’s an awkward form of payback 
But if it works for you it works
It’s that I recognize your off-white lies
Still, I lie beside you, and that’s what really hurts 

When you said you’d leave me, well, why haven’t you left me? 
What are we still doing here, so desperate for company? 
There’s a greyhound on Jackson Street
There’s an airport in Council Bluffs
Hell, there’s a car in the driveway; fifty ways to get lost
But as I hold you and listen to you sleeping 
I’m starting to wonder if you really believe 
That you’d ever really leave

Would you leave me an orphan
In that big brown leather chair? 
The one you’ve lugged around from town to town
For all these years
It’s the trophy of your childhood
Like a shark’s tooth or gator skin boots
But this one holds you prisoner; it holds me prisoner too
What we need to set us free is to let go of each other
Let go of everything

When I said I loved you, it was because I loved you
When I said I needed you, well, I really need you
Yeah, I guess you hurt me
For once you’re a man of your words
Well, guess what? I’m leaving 
I can’t be your prisoner

I won’t

How You Like Me Now? by The Heavy

Comment: I like you so so much.

Lyrics:

Now there was a time,
When you loved me so.
I couldn’t do wrong,
And now you need to know.

See, I been a bad bad bad bad man.
And I made a deal.
Yeah.
I found a brand new love for this man,
And I can’t wait till you see.
I can’t wait.

So how you like me now?

Remember the time
When I eat you up
Yeah I was a line 
That you can’t give up.

If i was to cheat on you
Would you see right through me?
If I sing a sad sad sad sad song
Would you give it to me?

So how you like me now?

Does that make you love me baby?
Does that make you want me baby?
Does that make you love me baby?
Does that make you want me baby?

Oh, mercy.
Hello.
Oh yeah.

Change by Churchill

Comment: That mandolin. I can marry that mandolin. I can marry Mike Morter.

Lyrics:

To make you want me I can fabricate the truth
I’ll give you easy it’ll keep me destitute
You hang me up on the line, hang me out to dry
And you got nothing to lose

You’ve got the story all made up inside your head
You write me out of it and use your words instead
You hold me just out of reach, but you keep me pounding the beat
To take all the soul you can get

You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change

You take no chances and you give no other choice
You fill your pockets and you empty out my voice
You use the shallow and old, trade the heart for the gold
You sell the song for the noise

You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change

You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change

I Could’ve Been Your Girl by She and Him

Download: [SOON]

Lyrics:

It doesn’t matter, 
If I were willing
It doesn’t matter that the lights are tender love
Oh, oh, 
I know you have to go
It doesn’t matter, 
I fought my heart
It’s broken, shattered to a million and one

Cause I could’ve been your girl
And you could’ve been my four leaf clover
If I could do it over 
I’d send you the pillow that I cry on

It doesn’t matter, 
I just begun.
And if you see me, 
Just move on.
Cause we are free and never meant to be

Cause I could’ve been your girl
And you could’ve been my four leaf clover
If I could do it over 
I’d send you the pillow that I cry on

Lyrics:

There’s a note underneath your front door
That I wrote twenty years ago
Yellow paper and a faded picture
And a secret in an envelope

There’s no reasons, no excuses
There’s no second-hand alibis
Just some black ink on some blue lines
And a shadow you won’t recognize

In the meantime, I’ll be waiting
For twenty years and twenty more
I’ll be praying for redemption
And your note underneath my door
And your note underneath my door

Your Ex-Lover is Dead by Stars

Lyrics:

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said ‘yes I think we’ve met before’
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name…

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn’t get in
Now you’re outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It’s nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn’t choose
I’ll write you a postcard
I’ll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love…

Live through this, and you won’t look back…
Live through this, and you won’t look back…
Live through this, and you won’t look back…

There’s one thing I want to say, so I’ll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I’m not sorry I met you
I’m not sorry it’s over
I’m not sorry there’s nothing to save
