So Far Away – Dire Straits

 
 
 
So Far Away – Dire Straits **
 
 
 Here I am again in this mean old town
 And you’re so far away from me
 And where are you when the sun goes down
 You’re so far away from me
  
 So far away from me
 So far I just can’t see
 So far away from me
 You’re so far away from me
  
 I’m tired of being in love and being all alone
 When you’re so far away from me
 I’m tired of making out on the telephone
 And you’re so far away from me
  
 So far away from me
 So far I just can’t see
 So far away from me
 You’re so far away from me
 
  
 I get so tired when I have to explain
 When you’re so far away from me
 See you been in the sun and I’ve been in the rain
 And you’re so far away from me
  
 So far away from me
 So far I just can’t see
 So far away from me
 You’re so far away from me

Old And Wise – Alan Parsons Project **
  
 
 As far as my eyes can see
  
 There are shadows approaching me
  
 And to those I left behind
 I wanted you to know
 You’ve always shared my deepest thoughts
 You follow where I go
  
 And oh….
  when I’m old and wise
 Bitter words mean little to me
 Autumn winds will blow right through me
 And someday in the midst of time
 When they asked me if I knew you
 I’d smile and say you were a friend of mine
 And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
 Oh… when I’m old and wise
  
 As far as my eyes can see
  
 There are shadows surrounding me
  
 And to those I leave behind
 I want you all to know
 You’ve always shared my darkest hours
 I’ll miss you when I go
  
 And oh,….
 when I’m old and wise
 Heavy words that tossed and blew me
 Like autumn winds will blow right through me
 And someday in the midst of time
 When they ask you if you knew me
 Remember that you were a friend of mine
 As the final curtain falls before my eyes
  
 Oh.. when I’m old and wise
  
 As far as my eyes can see
 
 
  
 

The Way – Fastball

  
 
  
  
The Way – Fastball **
  
  
 
 They made up their minds
 And they started packing
 They left before the sun came up that day
 An exit to .. eternal summer slacking
 But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
   
 They drank up the wine
 And they got to talking
 They now had more important things to say
 And when the car broke down, they started walking
 Where were they going without ever knowing the way?
   
 Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
 And it’s always summer, they’ll never get cold
 They’ll never get hungry,
 They’ll never get old and gray
   
 You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
 They won’t make it home but they really don’t care
 They wanted the highway, they’re happy there today,
 today …
   
 The children woke up
 And they couldn’t find ’em
 They left before the sun came up that day
 They just drove off and left it all behind ’em
 But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
   
*Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
 And it’s always summer, they’ll never get cold
 They’ll never get hungry,
 They’ll never get old and gray
  &
 You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
 They won’t make it home but they really don’t care
 They wanted the highway, they’re happy there today,
 today …

White Flag – Dido

 

 
 
 
White Flag – Dido *
 
  
 
 I know you think that I shouldn’t still love you or tell you that.
 But if I didn’t say it, well I’d still have felt it ..
 where’s the sense in that?
 I promise I’m not trying to make your life harder or return to where we were
  
 But I will go down with this ship
 And I won’t put my hands up .. and surrender
 There will be no white flag above my door
 I’m in love and alway…s will be
  
 I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again
 And I caused nothing but trouble.. I under..stand if you can’t talk to me again
 And if you live by the rules of “it’s over” then I’m sure that makes sense
  
 And I will go down with this ship
 And I won’t put my hands up.. and surrender
 There will be no white flag above my door
 I’m in love.. and alway..s will be
  
 And when we meet
 Which I’m sure we will
 All that was there..
 Will be there still
 I’ll let it pass
 And hold my tongue
 And you will think
 That I’ve moved on….
  
 I will go down with this ship
 And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
 There will be no white flag above my door
 I’m in love, and alway..s will be
  
 And I will go down with this ship
 And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
 There will be no white flag above my door
 I’m in love and alway..s will be
  
 I will go down with this ship
 And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
 There will be no white flag above my door
 I’m in love and alway..s will be

The Reason – Hoobastank **
 

 I’m not a perfect person
 As many things I wish I didn’t do
 But I continue learning
 I never meant to do those things to you
 And so I have to say before I go

 That I just want you to know
 
 I’ve found a reason for me
 To change who I used to be
 A reason to start over new
 and the reason is you
 
 I’m sorry that I hurt you
 It’s something I must live with everyday
 And all the pain I put you through
 I wish that I could take it all away
 And be the one who catches all your tears
 
 That’s why I need you to hear
 
 I’ve found a reason for me
 To change who I used to be
 A reason to start over new
 and the reason is You
 and the reason is You
 and the reason is You
 and the reason is You
……..
 
 I’m not a perfect person
 I never meant to do those things to you
 And so I have to say before I go

 That I just want you to know
 
 I’ve found a reason for me
 To change who I used to be
 A reason to start over new
 and the reason is you
 
 I’ve found a reason to show
 A side of me you didn’t know
 A reason for all that I do
 And the reason is you
