Push

by Matchbox 20

(one of my favorite songs of all time - top 10 for sure)

She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
By a hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's
Gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry, well

This ain't over, no not here, not while I still need you
Around
You don't owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good

[chorus]

I wanna push you around, well I will, I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted
Well I will

She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me
Like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is
Gonna hurt ya
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
You couldn't stand to be near me
When my face don't seem to want to shine
Cuz it's a little bit dirty well

Don't just stand there, say nice things to me
I've been cheated I've been wronged, and you
You don't know me, I can't change
I won't do anything at all

[chorus]

Oh but don't bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so
Crazy, crazy
Don't rush this baby, don't rush this baby

[chorus]

Finding love

Staring Down

by Collective Soul

Loosened from my pride
Oh that monster kept me so tight
Threw my aces down
just to face the here and the now

So here I'll go again
I want to please
Here I'll go again
Sweet I'll sleep
Sleep till I dream

I've been looking
I've been staring down
I've been searching
I've been staring down
And your love is what I found

As cautious as a thief
Oh but restless in all of my needs
Now I stand before all I wanted
And all that I've adored

So here I go again
I need to please
Yeah here I go again
Sweet you sleep
Sleep till I dream

I've been looking
I've been staring down
I've been searching
I've been staring down
And your love is what I...

Long days, long nights
Just blinded by what was already in sight
Now I've found, I've found my way home
Yeah I found my way home

I've been looking
I've been staring down
I've been searching
I've been staring down

I've been looking
I've been staring down
I've been searching
I've been staring down
And your love is what I found

Be still my heart.  Hush.  Stop feeling.  It's easier.

Having gratitude for each passing day

I'm Alive

by Kenny Chesney ft. Dave Matthews

So damn easy to say that life’s so hard
Everybody’s got their share of battle scars
As for me I’d like to thank my lucky stars that
I’m alive, and well

It’d be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
But not me, I’m alive

And today you know that’s good enough for me
Breathin' in and out's a blessin' can’t you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I’m alive, and well
I’m alive, and well

Stars are dancin’ on the water here tonight
It’s good for the soul, when there’s not a soul in sight
But this boat has caught its wind and brought me back to life
Now I’m alive, and well

And today you know that’s good enough for me
Breathin' in and out's a blessing can’t you see
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
Now I’m alive, and well
Yeah I’m alive, and well

Satisfy

Satisfy

by Vedera

If there was a way to try and make it back
Back to where we started from
Could I find a way to try and make you stay
I don't wanna deny my heart
It's dense to feel
I don't wanna deny my soul
Something real

Is there anything left in this world that would satisfy me, ohh...
Is there anything thing left in this world that will satisfy you, tonight..

 We were sailing on
I could see the world below
Never thought I've come down
Expectations fail
It seemed as though our will was no match for the trouble found
I don't wanna deny my heart
It's dense to feel
I don't wanna deny my soul
Something real

Is there anything left in this world that would satisy me, ohh...
Is there anything left in this world that will satisfy you, tonight...

So take my hand and I won't look back
Though I've lived times along these ways
I will stay...

Is there anything left in this world that would satisfy me, ohhh...
Is there anything left in this world that would satisfy me, ohh...
Is there anything left in this world that will satisfy you, ohhoo...
Is there anything left in this world that would satisfy me, tonight...

Irony

...down the drain

Funny the Way It Is

by Dave Matthews Band

Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass, and the children play
Siren’s passing, fire engine red
Someone’s house is burning down on a day like this

The evening comes and we’re hanging out
On the front step and a car rolls by with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playing, “why can’t we be friends?”
Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
Somebody’s going hungry and someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody’s heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song

The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish
A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor
You hear the laughter while the children play war

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath his baby’s being born

Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me
It must’ve been much harder when there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small, remember how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars

Watch the sky, the jet planes, so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me?
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time
He’ll never catch her, but he can’t stop trying

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath his baby’s being born
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody’s broken heart becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
A kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out

Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me
It must’ve been much harder when there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small, remember how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars

Better Days

by the Goo Goo Dolls

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
