I awoke the dawn
Saw horses growing out the lawn
Ah ah .....
I glimpsed a bat with butterfly wings
Oh what marvelous things
Ah ah....
Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
I followed a rabbit
Through rows of mermaid entwined Shrubbery
Ah ah....
Oh what marvelous things but, they are, they are, they are
Giving me the creeps
Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
Oh...lying in the sun
Everday feeling all of the magic in life
You might find the wonder.....
Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
Ah ah.....

"I Will Follow You into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie
Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

"Dear Jamie... Sincerely Me" by Hellogoodbye
Dear Jamie I've got a letter I would like to send
It's lacking strings of words with punctuation at the end.
Should I trust this dialect?
To convey the right effect?
Dear Jamie I've got some things I'd like to set in pen
I would have used a pencil but lead's just not permanent.
Should I trust my printer's ink?
To express the things I think?
Every page I tried my best to think of something to contest
With inside jokes and all the folks could have much more to say
Dear Jamie this envelope will represent my heart
I'll seal it, send it off and wish it luck with its depart.
This stamp will be every action that carry my affection
Across the air and land and sea
Should I trust the postage due?
To deliver my heart to you?
Every page I tried my best to think of something to contest
With inside jokes and other folks who have much more to say
Every page I tried my best to think of something to contest
With inside jokes and other folks who have much more to say
Give you all I can
Flower and a hand
I hope this helps you see
Signed Sincerely me.

"You Could Be Happy" by Snow Patrol
You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head
Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

"When They Really Get to Know You, They Will Run" by Pedro the Lion
What makes you think that it won't grow back
In a day or two
Husbands in winter, they know the truth
But what can they do
I don't like girls the way they are
So shave their legs, and make them look like movie stars
Then we can pretend it's natural
Put on whatever makes you attractive
If it's not you, then do it for the sake of fashion
If your friends like a certain you, that's who you've got to be
Junior high legs; blond hair gone brown
From removing it
Waxing since thirteen - wisdom from a beauty queen
Her tiara digging deep in her head
Put on whatever makes you attractive
If it's not you, then do it for the sake of fashion
If your friends like a certain you, that's who you have to be
That's who you've got to be
I'm starting to think that I'm kinda shy or at least I'd like to be
Winter legs give me heart attacks so take it off with laser, so it never comes back
So we can pretend it's natural

"Options" by Pedro the Lion
We were walking, holding hands,
With our bare feet in the sand
And the seagulls overhead
When I broke the spell and said
I could never divorce you without a good reason
And though I may never have to,
It's good to have options
But for now, I need you
But for now, I need you
But for now, I need you
But it was only in my head
Because no one ever says
What they really mean to say
When there's so much at stake
So I told her I loved her
And she told me she loved me
And I mostly believed her
And she mostly believed me

"Gravity" by Sara Bareilles
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone
You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain
Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone
Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need
Here on the ground
But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know
Is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down
You're on to me, on to me and all over
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
