create the soundtrack to my life

Tisbury Lane
by Mae

She greets the day with her hair wet
She asks them to vacate the building
Because she’s got a plan they don’t know yet
And if it goes wrong, there’ll be no one to see

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do

If she could just get the word out
God knows she’s trying
They’re watching her with eyes closed
She’s always stuck with the old route
Does anyone knock when they barge in to beat her down?

Will you come back?
It’s all she wants to know
She knows she’s part of the problem too
Could she let it go?
It’d take a miracle
So that’s what I’m praying for

No one can know just how she feels
She won’t use the phone, she’s too tired to pick it up
She’s going back to the old way
She sits in the classroom to learn with the others

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do
Do do

Please don’t give up when it’s easy
Don’t you know that me and Jesus will cheer you on?
He’s the only one that will be constantly everything you need

Will you come back?
It’s all she wants to know
She knows she’s part of the problem too
Could she let it go?
It’d take a miracle
So that’s what I’m praying for

Yeah
She lives on Tisbury Lane

Sore Thumb
by The Format

Forgive me you cut out again
It seems so easy just to blame the reception.
But there’s something wrong, and I don’t know why
Why you, you never say goodnight.

So please just leave,
you dont mean that much to me.
You keep the ring, I’ll take the saturdays in bed.
Cause I know you need them.
As for me it’s nothing new, just another two years.

I wish we’d always wake up new, refreshed
and born again with nothing left to lose.
But we dream too much. Who needs a crutch?
Pull off the bandage, there’s no wound.

So please just leave
You dont mean that much to me.
Give back the ring,
Keep all those summers with your friends.
Cause you know you need them,
As for me its nothing new
Just another two years,
That I’m here losing sleep.

Your sore thumb,
Your best defense is miles from home
And it reads like a letter with the words
All broken, erased with a razor blade
Cause you’re gone.

I was lost then I found you
but I’m breaking down now that…

Your sore thumb,
Your best defense is miles from home
And it reads like a letter with the words
All broken, erased with a razor blade
Cause you’re gone.

I Loved The Way She Said “L.A.”
by Spitalfield

Say the things you say
And your dreaming like you do
You know sometimes circles run around you
Hey now lets be honest
I really think its true
You know sometimes we all bend the rules
You’ve runned a life
You’ve been around
You love to live to hate this town
And I hope you dream just like you do
Yeah we’ve been here twice before
You want it to mean so much more
And I hope that every thing goes through

She goes to California
Oh, California is not so far
When I close my eyes and wonder where you are
And you wish upon a star
Two thousand miles doesnt seem so far

You play the games you play
You win sometimes you lose
You know sometimes walls run into you
Now you got me thinking
And I really think its true
The sun shines sometimes for you
You’ve runned a life
You’ve been around
You love to live to hate this town
And I hope you dream just like you do
Yeah we’ve been here twice before
You want it to mean so much more
And I hope that every thing goes through

She goes to California
Oh, California is not so far
When I close my eyes and wonder where you are
And you wish upon a star
Two thousand miles doesnt seem so far

So far, so far, so far…

We Looked Like Giants
by Death Cab For Cutie

God bless the daylight
The sugary smell of springtime
Remembering when you were mine
In a still suburban town
When every Thursday
I’d brave those mountain passes
And you’d skip your early classes
And we’d learn how our bodies worked

Goddamn the black night
With all its foul temptations
I’ve become what I always hated
When I was with you there
We looked like giants
In the back of my grey sub-compact
Fumbling to make contact
As the others slept inside

And together there
In the shroud of frost
The mountain air began to pass
Through every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer
than anyone would ever get

Do you remember the JAMC?
And reading aloud from magazines?
I don’t know about you
But I’d swear on my name
They could smell it on me
And I’ve never been too good with secrets

All together there
In a shroud of frost
The mountain air began to pass
Through every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer…
