What She's Doing Now by Brooks Jefferson


Last time I saw her it was turnin' colder
But that was years ago
Last I heard she had moved to Boulder
But where she's now I don't know
But there's somethin' 'bout this time of year
That spins my head around
Takes me back makes me wonder
What she's doin' now

'Cause what she's doin' now is tearin' me apart
Fillin' up my mind and emptyin' my heart
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows
And I wonder if she knows...what she's doin' now

Just for laughs I dialed her old number
But no one knew her name
Hung up the phone sat there and wondered
If she'd ever done the same
I took a walk in the evenin' wind
To clear my head somehow
But tonight I lie here thinkin'
What she doin' now

'Cause what she's doin' now is tearin' me apart
Fillin' up my mind and emptying my heart
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows
And I wonder if she knows

What she's doin' now is tearin' me apart
Fillin' up my mind and emptying my heart
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows
And I wonder if she knows...what she's doin' now

Cemetary Gates by Between the Buried and Me



reverend reverend is this some conspiracy?
crucified for no sins
an image beneath me
whats within our plans for life
it all seems so unreal
i’m a man couldnt have feel this world
left in my misery…

the reverend he turned to me
without a tear in his eyes
it’s nothing new for him to see
i didn’t ask him why
i will remember
the love our souls had
sworn to make
now i watch the falling rain
all my mind can see
now is your (face)


well i guess
you took my youth
i gave it all away
like the birth of a
new-found joy
this love would end in rage
and when she died
i couldn’t cry
the pride within my soul
you left me incomplete
memories now unfold.


believe the word
i will unlock my door
and p-ss the
cemetery gates

sometimes when i’m alone
i wonder aloud
if you’re watching over me
some place far abound
i must reverse my life
i can’t live in the past
then set my soul free
belong to me at last

through all those
complex years
i thought i was alone
i didn’t care to look around
and make this world my own
and when she died
i should’ve cried and spared myself some pain…
left me incomplete
all alone as the memories still remain

the way we were
the chance to save my soul
and my concern is now in vain
believe the word
i will unlock my door
and p-ss the cemetery gates

the Kind of Love we Make by Luke Combs



We've been burnin' both ends
Keepin' the lights on
So I've been thinkin', we need
A little time alone
So, whatcha say we cancel our plans?
Tonight, I'm only gonna be your man

Let's get some candles burnin' and some records turnin'
All the lights down low, take it nice and slow
The way your body's movin', keep doin' what you're doin'
To me all night long, writin' our love song
Girl, I want it, gotta have it
Let the passion take us to a higher place
Makin' the kind of love we make

Well, there ain't no way, baby
To get me out this house
When you look this good, what could
I even think about, aw
Besides turnin' round and lockin' the door
Watchin' your red dress fall to the floor

Let's get some candles burnin' and some records turnin'
All the lights down low, take it nice and slow
The way your body's movin', keep doin' what you're doin'
To me all night long, writin' our love song
Girl, I want it, gotta have it
Let the passion take us to a higher place
Makin' the kind of love we make
Kind of love we make

So, whatcha say we cancel our plans?
Tonight, I'm only gonna be your man

Well, let's get some candles burnin'
Some records turnin'
All the lights down low, take it nice and slow
The way your body's movin', keep doin' what you're doin'
To me all night long, writin' our love song
Girl, I want it, gotta have it
Let the passion take us to a higher place
Girl, I want it, gotta have it
Let the passion take us to a higher place
Makin' the kind of love we make
Kind of love we make
Makin' the kind of love we make

Wide-Eyed Wonder by the Choir


Wide-eyed wonder girl,
Staring into the sky, and wondering why,
It's a good, great world, but it turns around,
Never mind the ground.

Look up high, the stars above,
Please don't cry; fathers love,
Hold on tight to his hand,
Dream tonight, understand.

Wide-eyed wonder girl,
Staring into the sky, and wondering why,
It's a good, great world, but it turns around,
Never mind the ground.

Look up high, dancing bear,
Please don't cry, daddy's prayer,
Hold on tight to my hand,
Dream tonight, wonderland.

Wide-eyed wonder girl,
Staring into the sky, and wondering why,
It's a good, great world, but it turns, you'll see,
So hold on tight to me.

Wide-eyed wonder girl,
Staring into the sky, and wondering why,
It's a good, great world, but it turns around,
Never mind the ground,
Wide-eyed wonder girl,
Staring into the sky, and wondering why,
It's a good, great world, but it turns around, you'll see,
So hold on tight to me.

Runaway Train by Beth Crowley



I saw the writing on the wall
In fact you painted me a picture
And I don't know why I cared
Enough to mold myself to fit you

My heart is a runaway train
Speeds so fast that I can't catch it
Is the pleasure worth the pain?
When did I become so reckless?

I've never been that good at love
I tell myself that I don't need it
But I just can't stay away
I want so badly to believe it

My heart is a runaway train
Speeds so fast that I can't catch it
Is the pleasure worth the pain?
When did I become so reckless?

Another note in the middle of the night
Saying "I can't stay but I promise you I tried
...You're gonna be fine"
So I take your things and I shove them in a closet
Swear I'm done but I always break my promise
In case this one's it

My heart is a runaway train
Speeds so fast that I can't catch it
Is the pleasure worth the pain?
When did I become so reckless?
When did I become so reckless?

the Devil in I by Slipknot

 


Undo these chains, my friend
I'll show you the rage I've hidden
Perish the Sacrament
Swallow, but nothing's forgiven
You and I can't decide which of us was taken for granted
Make amends, some of us are destined to be outlived

Step inside, see the Devil in I
Too many times, we've let it come to this
Step inside, see the Devil in I
You'll realize I'm not your Devil anymore

Under the words of men
Something is tempting the father
Where is your will, my friend?
Insatiates never even bother
You and I, wrong or right
Traded a lie for the leverage
In between the lens in light
You're not what you seem

Step inside, see the Devil in I
Too many times, we've let it come to this
Step inside, see the Devil in I
You'll realize I'm not your Devil
I'm not your Devil anymore

Your station is abandoned
Fooled you 'cause I know what you've done
Sensation, deprivation
You should've burned when you turned on everyone

So, step inside, see the Devil in I
Too many times, we've let it come to this
Step inside, see the Devil in I
I know you'll find your answers in the end
Step inside, see the Devil in I
You'll realize I'm not your Devil anymore

So step inside, step inside
See the Devil in I
See the Devil in I

You All Over Me by Taylor Swift & Maren Morris



Once the last drop of rain has dried off the pavement
Shouldn't I find a stain, but I never do
The way the tires turn stones, on old county roads
They leave 'em muddy underneath
Reminds me of you
You find graffiti on the walls of old bathroom stalls
You know, you can scratch it right off
It's how it used to be
But like the dollar in your pocket it's been spent and traded in
You can't change where it's been
Reminds me of me

I lived, and I learned
Had you, got burned
Held out, and held on
God knows, too long
And wasted time, lost tears
Swore that I'd get out of here
But no amount of freedom gets you clean
I've still got you all over me

The best and worst day of June
Was the one that I met you
With your hands in your pockets
And your "Don't you wish you had me?" grin
Well, I did, so I smiled, and I melted like a child
Now every breath of air I breathe reminds me of then

And I lived, and I learned
Had you, got burned
Held out, and held on
God knows, too long
And wasted time, lost tears
Swore that I'd get out of here
But no amount of freedom gets you clean
I've still got you all over me

I lived, and I learned
And found out what it was to turn around
And see, that we
Were never really meant to be
So I lied, and I cried
And I watched a part of myself die
'Cause no amount of freedom gets you clean
I've still got you all over me
I've still got you all over me
Still got you all over me

We Are the Champions by Queen


I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime

And bad mistakes‒
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through

And I need to go on and on, and on, and on

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune, and everything that goes with it
I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

And I need just go on and on, and on, and on

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

Enough by From Ashes to New



Some days I feel you put me in a place
In a position where I up and walk away
But I couldn't stay cuz I know nothing would've changed
There's nothing left of us hiding under all the hate
Now I'm doubting the quality of a dream
We're at each other's throats it's never clean
I reminisce in all that it used to be
Instead of the anxiety hovering over me

Get out
Get away from me
I need room to breathe
Right now
Give me room to breath
Suffocating me

Something inside me
Feels like it's dying
I'm tired of fighting
Now I've had enough
Torn into pieces
By my own demons
Maybe I need this
Now I've had enough

I feel sick thinking about the night
We both felt we wouldn't make it out alive
Now I'm hopeless and I'm looking how to find
Myself in the bottom of a bottle I'm out of time
I don't mean to be so damn negative
But I'm sick of seeing life through a faded lens
And even if we had time to make amends
We both know it won't change the way it ends

Get out
Get away from me
I need room to breathe
Right now
Give me room to breath
Suffocating me

Something inside me
Feels like it's dying
I'm tired of fighting
Now I've had enough
Torn into pieces
By my own demons
Maybe I need this
Now I've had enough

I'm letting go of all it used to be
Letting go of the hold it has on me
Let it go let it die
It's the only way we'll make it out alive

Something inside me
Feels like it's dying
I'm tired of fighting
Now I've had enough
Torn into pieces
By my own demons
Maybe I need this
Now I've had enough

the Entertainer by Billy Joel



I am the entertainer
And I know just where I stand
Another serenader
And another long-haired band
Today I am your champion
I may have won your hearts
But I know the game, you'll forget my name
And I won't be here in another year
If I don't stay on the charts

I am the entertainer
And I've had to pay my price
The things I did not know at first
I learned by doin' twice
Ah, but still they come to haunt me
Still they want their say
So I've learned to dance with a hand in my pants
I let 'em rub my neck and I write 'em a check
And they go their merry way

I am the entertainer
Been all around the world
I've played all kinds of palaces
And laid all kinds of girls
I can't remember faces
I don't remember names
Ah, but what the hell
You know it's just as well
'Cause after a while and a thousand miles
It all becomes the same

I am the entertainer
I bring to you my songs
I'd like to spend a day or two
I can't stay that long
No, I've got to meet expenses
I got to stay in line
Gotta get those fees to the agencies
And I'd love to stay but there's bills to pay
So I just don't have the time

I am the entertainer
I come to do my show
You've heard my latest record
It's been on the radio
Ah, it took me years to write it
They were the best years of my life
It was a beautiful song
But it ran too long
If you're gonna have a hit
You gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05

I am the entertainer
The idol of my age
I make all kinds of money
When I go on the stage
Ah, you've seen me in the papers
I've been in the magazines
But if I go cold I won't get sold
I'll get put in the back in the discount rack
Like another can of beans

I am the entertainer
And I know just where I stand
Another serenader
And another long-haired band
Today I am your champion
I may have won your hearts
But I know the game, you'll forget my name
I won't be here in another year
If I don't stay on the charts
