Wishing on a Star

Radiohead || All I Need

I am the next act, waiting in the wings
I am an animal, trapped in your hot car
I am all the days that you choose to ignore

You are all I need
You are all I need
I am in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds

I am a moth who just wants to share your light
I’m just an insect trying to get out of the night
I only stick with you because there are no others

Kaskade- Borrowed Theme

I used to shine the perfect borrowed light
It wasn’t mine and it was taking over night
Shame traces the edges of your face
Fully lit, independent of this place

Old enough to see
How diamond wedding rings
Has counterfeited things

I’ve been borrowed
Shame on me

My muse is gone, forsaken of the theme
No motto now—no cradle, no dream
Bathed with a soft, embezzled light
Six feet below an idealistic love

But I still want these things
Flighted childhood dreams
As foolish as they seem

I’ve been taken
Shame on me

I used to shine
It wasn’t mine
Shame, shame, shame
Fully lit

Now only sweet little wishful things
Are bound and gagged, tied up in different strings
No living castles up in the sky
Following unbothered clouds go by

And I’ve been taken
Shame on me

But I still want these things
Flighted childhood dreams
As foolish as they seem

I’ve been taken
Shame on me

Leigh Nash- Nervous In The Light Of Dawn

Dreamed I was in a desert
Without any love
Storm Grey clouds
Hovering Above
Silence all around me I was wondering alone
And I realized there is nothing anyone can really own

And I wished for guidance
And I wished for peace
I could see the lightening
Somewhere in the east
And I wished for affection
And I wished for calm
As I lay there
Nervous in the light of dawn

It's hard to change 
And it's hard to move
It takes years for us 
To be made smooth
You can use up all of your 
Precious energy
To be tossed like a shell
From the hungry sea

And I wished for guidance

And I wished for peace
I could see the lightening
Somewhere in the east
And I wished for affection
And I wished for calm
As I lay there
Nervous in the light of dawn
As I lay there
Nervous in the light of dawn

Hold me in your arms
Until I fall asleep
I'm so tired of
Me

And I wished for guidance
And I wished for peace
I could see the lightening
Somewhere in the east
And I wished for affection
And I wished for calm
As I lay there
Nervous in the light of dawn
As I lay there
Nervous in the light of dawn

Angus & Julia Stone - Wasted

I don’t know just what I’ll do
Everytime you walk into the room
Oh my head is spinning around
And I can’t see clearly right now

I’m wasted
I’m so wasted on you
I’m wasted
I’m so wasted on you

I don’t know if I’ll survive
In this magical land behind your eyes
And there’s all these funny little men
There all asking me to dance and sing

I’m wasted
I’m so wasted on you
I’m wasted
I’m so wasted on you

Red and yellow, pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
Are all of the colours I see my love
Every time I see you

I’m wasted
I’m so wasted on you
I’m wasted
I’m so wasted on you

Rachael Yamagata - Quiet

Baby says I can’t come with him
And I had read all of this in his eyes
Long before he even said so, why go, I asked
You know and I know why
And it’ll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything

Take care, I’ve been hurt before
Too much time spend on closing doors
You may hate me, but I’ll remember to love you
Goodbye, don’t cry, you know why
And it’ll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything

All the waves of blame arrange as broken scenery
As they steal your best memories away
What if I was someone different in your only history
Would you feel the same as I walk out the door
Never to see your face again
Never to see your face again

And it’ll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
It’ll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don’t expect anything, I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything, I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything to change when I leave

The Weepies - Not Your Year

Scattered shadows on a wall, you watch the long light fall 
Some impressions stay and some will fade
Tattered shoes outside your door, clothes all on the floor
Your life feels like the morning after all year long

Every day it starts again
You cannot say if you’re happy
Keep trying to be, try harder, maybe
Maybe this is not your year
This is not your year

Movies, tv screens reflect just what you expected
There’s a world of shiny people somewhere else
Out there following their bliss, living easy, getting kissed
While you wonder what else you’re doing wrong

And every day it starts again
You cannot say if you’re happy
You keep trying to be, try harder, maybe
Maybe this is not your year
This is not your year

Breathe through it, write a list of desires
Make a toast, make a wish, slash some tires
Paint a heart repeating, beating “don’t give up, don’t give up”

Scattered shadows on a wall, you watch the long light fall 
Some impressions stay and some will fade away
And every day it starts again
Someday you’ll say you’re happy
Keep trying to be, try harder, maybe
Maybe this is not your year 
This is not your year…

Tina Dico - Room With A View
[watch the live performance of this song on Grace Notes]

I need a room with a view
An armchair by the window
A cup of coffee and a cigarette or two
Watch the sky turn from hazy gray to black
Watch my neighbours go to work
And look exhausted and burned out when they get back
Thinking about you
Thank God for this beautiful view

I recall you took me swimming
The sea was dark and cold
You’d been there many times before
With many different girls, I’d been told
But what’s a man without a past
We love him for his lies
And then we try to break him down to make it last
‘Til they come true
Thank God for this beautiful view

Beautiful view… you, you, you…
I still love you

The dark is falling and the city fills with lights
Cars like shining pearls on strings
Moving through the emptiness of night
The wine is running to my head
I’m spellbound by the moment
Can’t get up, can’t find the strength to go to bed
Without you
Thank God for this beautiful view

Beautiful view… you, you, you…
I still love you, I still love you…

I’ve been blind too blind to tell false from true
I’ve been so busy running
Never stopped to think where I was running to
But I’ve learned my lesson from the tears I’ve had to cry
Sometimes it helps to take your time
To sit alone and watch the world go by
‘Cause every day it’s new
Thank God for this beautiful view
Oh, every day it’s new
Thank God for this beautiful view
Thank God for this beautiful view

The Killers - Read My Mind

On the corner of main street, just tryin’ to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and you say I’m falling behind
Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind?

I never really gave up on breakin’ out of this two-star town
I got the green light, I got a little fight
I’m gonna turn this thing around
Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind?

The good old days, the honest man
The restless heart, the promised land
A subtle kiss that no one sees
A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh, well, I don’t mind, you don’t mind
Coz I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

It’s funny how you just break down waitin’ on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway with magic soakin’ my spine
Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen, the loaded gun
The drop dead dream, the chosen one
A southern drawl, a world unseen
A city wall and a trampoline

Oh, well, I don’t mind, you don’t mind
Coz I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Before you go tell me what you find
When you read my mind

Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
He never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don’t let it stay
I wanna breathe that fire again

She said: Oh, well, I don’t mind, you don’t mind
Coz I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Put your back on me, put your back on me, put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind
