01 | Blacking Out the Friction // Death Cab for Cutie

And the hardest part is yet to come
I don't mind restrictions
Or if you're blacking out the friction
It's just an escape
(It's overrated anyways)


02 | Yesterday // The Beatles

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.


03 | One of the Brightest Stars // James Blunt

One day your story will be told.
One of the lucky ones who's made his name.
One day they'll make you glorious,
Beneath the lights of your deserved fame.
And it all comes round.
Once in a lifetime like it always does.
Everybody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,


04 | Unsaid // The Fray

But suffice it to say
We're leaving things unsaid
We sing ourselves to sleep
Watching the day lie down instead
And we are leaving some things unsaid
And we are breathing deeper instead
We're both pretty sure
Neither one can tell
We seem difficult
What we got is hard as hell
A hundred thousand words could not quite explain
So I walk you to your car And we can talk it out in the rain


05 | Good Man // Josh Ritter

We can use all the help we can
So many minor chords outside
I fell in love with your sound
Oh I love to sing along with you
We got tunes we kicked around
We got a bucket that the tunes go through
Babe we both had dry spells
Hard times in bad lands
I'm a good man for ya
I'm a good man


06 | Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn // Hellogoodbye

Gotta get it back to
A backup plan to find you
Start acceleration
Take it back to square one
I swear that I'm not kidding
We're just looking to fit in
With all the other answers
Questions never confirmed
States that keep us far apart
Track the beating of my heart
Mark the places in my book
With photographs we never took
I swear that I'm not kidding


07 | Bottle It Up // Sara Bareilles

I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts
With her delicate soul
I don't claim to know much except soon as you start
To make room for the parts
That aren't you it gets harder to bloom in a garden of
Love love love love
Love Love love love
Only thing I ever could need, only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it's
Love


08 | Ugly // The Exies

I don’t care, you don’t care
I’m bitter, you’re angry.
You don’t care, I don’t care
You love you, just like me
I blame you, you blame me
I’m bitter, you’re angry.
You don’t care, I don’t care
You love you, like me


09 | My Life for Hire // A Day to Remember

It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done to me.



10 | Lonely Soldier // Damien Rice

Ask your father how'd you fall
Ask your father how'd you fall
Like a leaf, sitting on the ground
Good for nothing, except kicking around


11 | Easy Silence // Dixie Chicks

But I just want to hold on to the
Easy silence that you make for me
It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me
And the peaceful quiet you create for me
And the way you keep the world at bay for me


12 | The Trapeze Swinger // Iron & Wine

Please, remember me
Happily
By the rosebush laughing
With bruises on my chin
The time when
We counted every black car passing
Your house beneath the hill
And up until
Someone caught us in the kitchen
With maps, a mountain range,
A piggy bank
A vision too removed to mention


13 | Your Rocky Spine // Great Lake Swimmers

I was moving across your frozen veneer
The sky was dark
But you were clear
Could you feel my footsteps?


14 | Only the Good Die Young // Billy Joel

Well, They showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done...


15 | No One Sleeps While I'm Awake // The Sounds

You know it hurts so bad
Just like i knew that it would
But I'd do it again
Do it again if I could


16 | Never Grow Up // Taylor Swift

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
No, no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up


17 | It's Love That Holds Your Hand // Jonatha Brooke

The mystery of the way to make things right
When I'm looking for the beauty of the love that's on my side
So I fly and wipe the tears out of my eyes
And I try to explain the times I don't know why
And I do the best I can


18 | All I Need is You // The Click Five

You're scared
It shows
Been there
You're not prepared to be
In love
With me
So soon cause you've been through enough to have
Something hold you back
We don't need to go that far
Let's hold on to where we are
If it's real we'll make it through
Cause all I need is you


19 | No One Can Touch Us // Sing It Loud

We're getting higher
Every time that we love
A little closer to the things we fall back on
If you come over, then together, willing
We'll take over the world


20 | The Permanent Rain // The Dangerous Summer

So where’s my hope,
And why can’t I just try?
You know I’ve lost a lot,
But I won’t let this die.
You know I’ve got this friend up in the atmosphere,
And another reason not to fear the sky;
No, not tonight.


21 | Church on Sunday // Green Day

Today is the first day of the rest
Of our lives
Tomorrow is too late to pretend
Everything's alright now
I'm not getting any younger as long
As you don't get any older
I'm not going to state that yesterday never was


22 | Psalm // Hey Rosetta!

But often it happens you know
That the things you don’t trust are the ones you need most
So it's cautiously into the dark
But you see before long that your eyes will adjust


23 | Walk on the Moon // Great Big Sea


I'm Alive
Got one shot and I'm taking it to you
I'm Alive
I've come to realize not a moment too soon
This is my one small step
This is my Walk on the Moon


24 | Drink Up Me Hearties // Hans Zimmer
