2. Time and Time Again
Counting Crows - 1993
So when are you coming home Sweet angel?
You leaving me alone? All alone?
Well if I'm drowning darling, you'll come down
this way on your own
I wanted so badly, somebody other than me I wish I was traveling on a freeway
Staring back at me, but you were gone Beneath this graveyard western sky
I wanted to see you walking backwards I'm gonna set fire to this city
And get the sensation of you coming home And out into the desert we're gonna ride
I wanted to see you walking away from me
Without the sensation of you leaving me alone
Time and time again
Time and time again
Time and time again
I can't please myself
I wanted the ocean to cover over me
I wanna sink slowly without getting wet
Maybe someday, I won't be so lonely
And I'll walk on water every chance I get
Time and time again
Time and time again
Time and time again
I can't please myself

3. Papa’s Got a
Brand New Bag
James Brown - 1965
Come here sister.....Papa's in the swing Come here sister
Papa's in the swing
He ain't too hip...about that new breed thing He ain't too hip now
He ain't no drag but I can dig that new breed babe;
Papa's got a brand new bag He ain't no drag
He's got a brand new bag
Come here mama....and dig this crazy scene
He's not too fancy....but his mind is pretty clean Oh papa! He's doing the Jerk
He ain't no drag. Papa...he's doing the Jerk
Papa's got a brand new bag He's doing the twist ... just like this,
He's doing the Fly
ev'ry day and ev'ry night
He's doing the Jerk.... The thing's....like the Boomerang.
He's doing the Fly Hey....come on
Don't play him cheap 'cause you know he ain't shy Hey! Hey.....come on
He's doing the Monkey, the Mashed Potatoes, Hey! Hey....he's up tight...out of sight...
Jump back Jack, See you later alligator. Come on. Hey! Hey!

4. Blackbird
The Beatles - 1968
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise. Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see Blackbird singing in the dead of night
All your life Take these broken wings and learn to fly
You were only waiting for this moment to be free. All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird fly Blackbird fly You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Into the light of the dark black night. You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

5. Tonight, Tonight
Smashing Pumpkins - 1995
Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a
piece of you
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe, believe in me, believe In the resolute urgency of now
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
We're not the same, we're different tonight Tonight, so bright
Tonight, so bright Tonight
Tonight
We'll crucify the insincere tonight
And you know you're never sure We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
But your sure you could be right We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
If you held yourself up to the light The indescribable moments of your life tonight
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake The impossible is possible tonight
The place where you were born Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

6. Iris
Goo Goo Dolls - 1998
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow And I don't want the world to see me
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
And I don't want to go home right now When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause sooner or later it's over 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
I just don't want to miss you tonight When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand And I don't want the world to see me
When everything's made to be broken 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
I just want you to know who I am When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies I just want you to know who I am
When everything feels like the movies I just want you to know who I am
Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive I just want you to know who I am

7. Love Story
Taylor Swift - 2008
We were both young, when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts- Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air. I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns. It's a love story, baby, just say yes-
I see you make your way through the crowd-
You say hello, little did I know... Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles- Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"- It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
And I was crying on the staircase- Oh, Oh.
begging you please don't go...
And I said... I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone. My faith in you was fading-
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run. When I met you on the outskirts of town.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, And I said...
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you. I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew- Is this in my head, I don't know what to think-
So close your eyes... He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh. Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter, I talked to your dad -- go pick out a white dress
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet" – It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
but you were everything to me- Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
I was begging you, please don't go-
And I said... We were both young when I first saw you.

8. One
Creed - 1997
Affirmative may be justified Society blind by color
Take from one give to another Why hold down one to raise another
The goal is to be unified Discrimination now on both sides
Take my hand be my brother Seeds of hate blossom further
The payment silenced the masses The world is heading for mutiny
Sanctified by oppression When all we want is unity
Unity took a backseat We may rise and fall, but in the end
Sliding further into regression We meet our fate together
One, oh, One the only way is one One, oh, One the only way is one
One, oh, One the only way is one One, oh, One the only way is one
I feel angry I feel helpless I feel angry I feel helpless
Want to change the world Want to change the world
I feel violent I feel alone I feel violent I feel alone
Don't try and change my mind Don't try and change my mind

9. Dreams
The Cranberries - 1993
Oh, my life is changing everyday,
In every possible way.
And oh, my dreams, it's never quite as it seems,
Never quite as it seems.
I know I've felt like this before,
but now I‘m feeling it even more,
Because it came from you.
And then I open up and see the person falling here is me,
A different way to be.
I want more impossible to ignore,
Impossible to ignore. Oh, my life,
And they'll come true, impossible not to do, Is changing every day,
Impossible not to do. In every possible way.
And now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don't hurt me. And oh, my dreams,
You're what I couldn't find. It's never quiet as it seems,
A totally amazing mind, so understanding and so kind; 'Cause you're a dream to me,
You're everything to me. Dream to me.

10. We Die Young
Alice in Chains - 1990
Down, down, down you're rollin‘
Watch the blood float in the muddy sewer
Take another hit
Scary's on the wall And bury your brother
Scary's on his way
And we die young
Watch where you spit Faster we run
I'd advise you wait until it's over
Then you got hit Scary's on the wall
And you shoulda known better Scary's on his way
And we die young Another alley trip
Faster we run Bullet seeks the place to bend you over
Then you got hit
And you shoulda known better

11. Near You Always
Jewel - 1995
Please don't say I love you,
those words touch me much too deeply
they make my core tremble
Don't think you realize
the effect you have over me
And please don't look at me like that
It just makes me And when you look in my eyes
want to make you near me always please know my heart is in your hands
It's nothing that I understand,
Please don't kiss me so sweet but when in your arms
it makes me crave a thousand kisses to follow you have complete power over me
And please don't touch me like that
makes every other embrace So be gentle if you please, 'cause
seem pale and shallow Your hands are in my hair,
but my heart is in your teeth, Babe,
Please don't come so close and it makes me
it just makes me want to make you near me always
want to make you near me always Your hands are in my hair,
but my heart is in your teeth Babe,
Please don't bring me flowers and it makes me
they only whisper the sweet things you'd say want to make you near me always
Don't try to understand me
your hands already know too much anyway I want to be near you always
It makes me I want to be near you always
want to make you near me always I want to be near you always

12. If Not for You
Bob Dylan - 1970
If not for you, babe, I couldn't find the door
Couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue, if not for you.
If not for you, babe, I'd lay awake all night If not for you, my sky would fall,
Wait for the morning light rain would gather too
To shine in through Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
But it will not be new, if not for you. Oh, what would I do, if not for you?
If not for you, my sky would fall, If not for you, winter would have no spring
rain would gather too I couldn't hear the robins sing
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all I just wouldn't have a clue
I'd be lost, if not for you Anyway it wouldn't ring true, if not for you
And you know it's true. If not for you, if not for you.

13. Time in a Bottle
Jim Croce - 1973
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
‘Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I had a box just for wishes
If I could make days last forever And dreams that had never come true
If words could make wishes come true The box would be empty
I'd save every day like a treasure and then Except for the memory
Again, I would spend them with you Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do To do the things you want to do
Once you find them Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go That you're the one I want to go
Through time with Through time with

14. I’d Die Without You
P.M. Dawn - 1993
Oh I apologize for all the things I've done
But now I'm underwater and I'm drowning
Is it my turn to be the one to cry
Isn't it amazing how some things
Just completely turn around
Is it my turn to wish you were lying here So take every little piece of my heart
I tend to dream you when I'm sleeping So take every little piece of my soul
Is it my turn to fictionalize my world So take every little piece of my mind
Or even imagine your emotions ‘Cause if you're gone
To tell myself anything Inside
Is it my turn to hold you by your hands I'd die without you
Tell you I love you and you hear me
Is it my turn to totally understand
To watch you walk out of my life
And not do a damn thing
If I have to give away
Of the feeling that I feel
If I have to sacrifice
Whatever babe, whatever baby
If I have to take apart
All that I am
Is there anything that I would not do
‘Cause inside I'd die without you

15. Forever Young
Bob Dylan - 1974
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May God bless and keep you always May you stay forever young.
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
