share the lyrics to 10 songs that describe me

This is a song about love, and not a very good one.
I don’t know enough to tell you about heartbreak.
But I know it’s there, and you can avoid it by listening to your head.
Which is just what I’ve done, and it isn’t perfect, but look what I’ve done instead, instead of falling for you.

I’ve never really been in love and that is fine by me.
I’ll sit at home and refine the person I want to be.
‘Cause I’m still young and not yet prepared to waste my time on chasing girls who are yet to fully form their minds.
And I know that there’s a woman waiting, but she’s not a woman yet.
So I’ll wait, and make sure I don’t do something I’ll regret.

This isn’t just about love, ‘cause that’s just one pixel of the image I’m speaking of.
The one of the relationship that we share.
It’s much more important that I learn to like you too.
Though I guess before that, it’s probably vital that I try to look for you, at least look for me.

I’ve never really been in love and that is fine by me.
I’ll sit at home and refine the person I want to be.
‘Cause I’m still young and not yet prepared to waste my time on chasing girls who are yet to fully form their minds.
And I know that there’s a woman waiting, but she’s not a woman yet.
So I’ll wait, and make sure I don’t do something I’ll regret.

I could tell you that I love you all you want till I’m dry,
But I can’t force myself to love you so why should I even try?
I’ll have to wait, and hold my chin up, and plug away at other things.
Until she comes.

I’ve always had a thing for Star Trek conventions.
I need a man with a comic book collection.
Lord of the Rings is my favorite type of role play.
Don’t want an Aragorn, I want a young Gandalf the Grey.

I fantasize about the Micheal Phelps of ping pong.
Someone who memorized all of the pokemon theme song.
He’s in the elite as one of the Star Trek fan club chiefs, but secretly he has a stash of Star Wars boxer briefs.

He’s a womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer.
A womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer.
Together we’ll discuss HTML and C++.
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer.
He’s got me rocking, like Stephen Hawking.
Check out his hard drive, sets me to warp five.

He’s highly skilled in the art of drawing anime.
And he has an extensive collection of action figures on display.
He’s employee of the month for tech support repair.
He’s a World of Warcraft expert beating Magtheridon’s lair.

I dream of him hooking up my ethernet cable.
And whispering in my ear about the periodic table.
I’m picturing a gaming headset in his hair and sexy safety goggles on as he builds a robotic office chair.

He’s a womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer.
A womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer.
Together we’ll discuss HTML and C++.
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer.
Baby, baby. Don’t need a jock, I want a Spock.
Baby, baby, womanizer.

She’s her Momma’s baby, she’s her Daddy’s pride and joy.
They’ve kept her under wraps, she ain’t been hanging out with any ugly acting boy.
Hardly ever been kissed, twenty years of innocence. Just what I’m looking for.

I want to be the man that’s holding her hand, when she can’t hold it back any more.

Good little girls make some mighty wild women.
Been saving it up since the very beginning.
When they fall in love, they wanna take it to the limit.
Good little girls make some mighty wild women.

Well, she’s never been to Vegas or danced in a honky-tonk.
No trail of broken hearts although she looks the part.
That ain’t the kind of life she wants.
She’s waiting for a gold ring, before she tries her wings.
That’s what I’m waiting for.

I want to be the man that’s holding her hand when she can’t hold it back any more.

Good little girls make some mighty wild women.
Been saving it up since the very beginning.
When they fall in love, they wanna take it to the limit.
Good little girls make some mighty wild women.

Good little girls make some mighty wild women.
Been saving it up since the very beginning.
When they fall in love, they wanna take it to the limit.
Good little girls make some mighty wild women.

Been saving it up since the very beginning.
When they fall in love, they wanna take it to the limit.
Good little girls make some mighty wild women.
Good little girls make some mighty wild women.
Good little girls.

I was gonna spell it out, every detail, but I dropped the call before I spilled my guts.
The floor stayed clean, like my conscience would be.
‘Cause if you heard anything, you didn’t hear it from me.

I’m sweeping up the seconds that tick off the clock.
Saving them for later when I’m too ticked to talk.
And I need some time, to search my mind.
To locate the words that seem so hard to find.

And sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back.
The most crucial thing I lack is the thing called tact.
And if you’re always so intently listening…
Then the smartest thing to say is to tell myself not to say a thing.

Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet. Don’t let it all come undone.
‘Cause if I dare open my mouth, it’ll just be to bite my tongue.
To bite my tongue.

It seems I’m always close-minded with an open mouth.
And the worst of me just seems to come on out.
But I’ve never broken bones with a stone or a stick.
But I’ll conjured up a phrase that can cut to the quick.

And sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back.
And the smartest thing to say is to tell myself to keep quiet, quiet.
Don’t let it all come undone.
‘Cause if I dare open my mouth, it’ll just be to bite my tongue.
Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet. Listen to your voice.
Because the power of your words, can repair all that I destroyed.

And when I finally do, let it come from you, the peace of understanding grips my soul.
You’re the reason I found meaning in this life, so I swallow all my pride.
And give you control, I give it to you.

But I gotta keep quiet, quiet. Don’t let it all come undone.
‘Cause if I dare open my mouth, it’ll just be to bite my tongue.
Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet. Listen to your voice.
Because the power of your words can repair all that I’ve destroyed.
And I gotta keep quiet, quiet. Don’t let it all come undone.
‘Cause if I dare open my mouth, it’ll just be to bite my tongue.
To bite my tongue.

I’ve had this up for a while, looking for the right songs, and nothing seems to fit perfectly. I’ve had a lot of ones that came close but a line or two didn’t fit as well. Anyway, to the point. I’ve decided to stop being such a perfectionist, and the songs I’ve debated internally for the past few weeks are going up.

Stay Home – Self

I believe in self-assertion, destiny is like diversion.
Now it seems I’ve got my head on straight.
I’m a freak, an apparition, seems I’ve made the right decision.
Try to turn back now, it might be too late.

And it’s off to the morning and back again, same old day, same situation.
The happiness is back as if to say…

I wanna stay home today. Don’t wanna go out.
If anyone comes to play. Gonna get thrown out.
I wanna stay home today. Don’t want no company, no way.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

A simple life’s my cup of tea, I don’t need nobody but me.
What I wouldn’t give just to be left alone.
I wanna be a millionaire someday, but know what it feels like to give it away.
Watch me march to the beat of my own drum.

And it’s over and over and over again, same old day, same situation.
The happiness is back as if to say…

I wanna stay home today. Don’t wanna go out.
If anyone comes my way. Gonna get thrown out.
I wanna stay home today. Don’t want no company, no way.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Rain, rain every day. Everyone just stay away now.
Come another day, come another day.

I wanna stay home today. I wanna stay home today.
I wanna stay home, stay home, stay home, stay home.

I wanna stay home today. Don’t wanna go out.
If anyone comes to play. Gonna get thrown out.
I wanna stay home today. Don’t want no company, no way.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I wanna stay home today. Don’t wanna go out.
If anyone comes my way. Gonna get thrown out.
I wanna stay home today. Don’t want no company, no way.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

If You’re Gone – Matchbox Twenty

I think I’ve already lost you. I think you’re already gone.
I think I’m finally scared now.
You think I’m weak, I think you’re wrong.
I think you’re already leaving, feels like your hand’s on the door.
I thought this place was an empire. But now I’m relaxed, I can’t be sure.

I think you’re so mean. I think we should try.
I think I could need this in my life.
I think I’m just scared I think too much.
I know this is wrong, it’s a problem, I’m dealing.

If you’re gone, maybe it’s time to go home.
There’s an awful lot of breathing room, but I can hardly move.
If you’re gone, baby you need to come home, come home.
‘Cause there’s a little bit of something me, in everything in you.

I bet you’re hard to get over. I bet the room just won’t shine.
I bet my hands I can stay here.
I bet you need more than you mind.

I think you’re so mean. I think we should try.
I think I could need this in my life.
I think I’m just scared that I know too much.
I can’t relate and that’s a problem I’m feeling.

If you’re gone, maybe it’s time to go home.
There’s an awful lot of breathing room, but I can hardly move.
If you’re gone, baby you need to come home, come home.
‘Cause there’s a little bit of something me, in everything in you.

I think you’re so mean. I think we should try.
I think I could need this in my life.
And I think I’m scared. Do I talk too much?
I know this is wrong, it’s a problem, I’m dealing.

If you’re gone, maybe it’s time to go home.
There’s an awful lot of breathing room, but I can hardly move.
If you’re gone, baby you need to come home, come home.
‘Cause there’s a little bit of something me, in everything in you.
