Jack's Mannequin - "The Resolution."

There's a lot that I don't know
There's a lot that I'm still learning
But I think I'm letting go
To find my body is still burning
And you hold me down
And you got me living in the past
Come on and pick me up
Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast

And I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution

And the bars are finally closed
So I try living in the moment
'Til the moment it just froze
And I felt sick and so alone
I can hear the sound
Of your voice still ringing in my ear
I'm going underground
But you'll find me anywhere I feel

That I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution

You hold me down
You hold me down
I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness

I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light, I need light

The Supernaturals - "Smile."

Every silver lining has a cloud
And each piece of good fortune must be paid for by the pound
I've become so cynical these days,
I don't know how it started but it won't go away
See the lines around my eyes,
See the sarcasm in my smile

You'd better smile
Smile smile smile smile smile smile smile
Smile smile smile smile smile smile smile
Cause that's all that you've got left,
Your life's a mess, you've been cut adrift

You'd better smile
You'd better smile
I feel like a Dalek inside,
Everything's gone grey but used to be so black and white
See the lines around my eyes,
See the sarcasm in my smile

You'd better smile
Smile smile smile smile smile smile smile
Smile smile smile smile smile smile smile
I've become so cynical these days,
I don't know how it started but it won't go away
You'd better smile
You'd better smile
Cause that's all that you've got left,
Your life's a mess, you've been cut adrift.

Savage Garden - "Chained To You."

We were standing all alone
You were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker
Dancing to Madonna; then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time
Sweet temptation, rush all over me
And I think about it all the time
Passion, desire so intense
I can't take any more, because

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like I want to be
I've got to be chained to you

And when you looked into my eyes
Felt a sudden sense of urgency
Fascination cast a spell and
You became more than just a mystery
And I think about you all the time
Is this fate, is it my destiny
That I think about you all the time
I no longer pretend to have my hand on the wheel because

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like I want to be
I've got to be chained to you

And I think about it all the time
And I think about it all the time
Tell me it's madness, I barely know you
We were standing all alone
You were leaning in to speak to me
Ten steps back, you're still a mystery
Acting like a mover shaker
Dancing to Madonna; then you kissed me
I can't take any more, because

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like I want to be
I've got to be chained to you

Tell me it's madness
I barely know you

Death Cab For Cutie - "Soul Meets Body."

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 it's like to be new

Because 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

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

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'll hold you near
Because 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'll hold you near
Because 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

Missy Higgins - "The Sound Of White."

Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be
What you were, what you were to me in memory.
But if I listen to the dark
You'll embrace me like a star,
Envelope me, envelope me...

If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me to before you went away -
If only for a day.
If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me back to the tune
We played before you went away.

And if I listen to the sound of white,
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to the sound of white ...
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.

My silence solidifies
Until that hollow void erases you,
Erases you so I can't feel at all.
But if I never feel again, at least that nothingness
Will end the painful dream, of you and me...

If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me to before you went away, if only for a day.
If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me back to the tune we played before you went away.

And if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light.
If I listen to the sound of white.

I knelt before some stranger's face,
I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,
But I dropped my head, 'cause it felt like lead,
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...

And if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light.
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white.
The sound of white,
The sound of white,
The sound of white.
