paradise | coldplay
when she was just a girl,
she expected the world,
but it flew away from her reach
so she ran away in her sleep.
life goes on, it gets so heavy,
the wheel breaks the butterfly.
every tear a waterfall,
in the night the stormy night
she'll close her eyes.
in the night the stormy night
away she'd fly,
and dreams of paradise.
fireflies | owl city
lucy in the sky with diamonds | the beatles
somebody calls you,
you answer quite slowly,
a girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
cellophane flowers
of yellow and green,
towering over your head.
look for the girl
with the sun in her eyes,
lucy in the sky with diamonds.
pocketful of sunshine | natasha bedingfield
mad girl's love song | fisher
i shut my eyes and
all the world drops dead;
i lift my lids
and all is born again.
(i think i made you up
inside my head.)
the stars go waltzing
out in blue and red,
and arbitrary blackness
gallops in:
i shut my eyes
and all the world drops dead.
i dreamed that you
bewitched me into bed
and sung me moon-struck,
kissed me quite insane.
(i think i made you up
inside my head.)
only if for a night | florence and the machine
And she was there all pink and gold
And glittering I threw my arms around her legs
Came to weeping (came to weeping)
Came to weeping (came to weeping)
In the grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honor
Dancing on tiptoes, my own secret ceremonials
Before the service began
In the graveyard, doing handstands
And I heard your voice as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange and so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
luna | smashing pumpkins
what moonsongs
do you sing your babies?
what sunshine
do you bring?
who belongs?
who decides who's crazy?
who rights wrongs
where others cling?
i'll sing for you
if you want me to
i'll give to you
and it's a chance
i'll have to take
and it's a chance
i'll have to break
god help the girl | god help the girl
I hear the midnight birds,
The message in their words.
You have been warned, I'm warned to be contrary.
Backward at school, I wrote from right to left.
Teacher never cared for me,
Preacher said a prayer for me.
God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get.
once | laura marling
Once, once is enough to make you think twice
About laying your love out on the line
With all I now know to be true
And all I've figured out about you
All the crazy things a mind can do
I laid down to the sound of the truth
O, I was a child once
O, I was happy young
When all I didn't know needed doing
Had been done
home | gabrielle aplin
And my cuts have healed with time
Comfort will rest on my shoulder
And I'll bury my future behind
I'll always keep you with me
You'll be always on my mind
But there's a shining in the shadows
I'll never know unless I try
telescope eyes | eisley
You humor me today,
Calling me out to play,
With your telescope eyes, metal teeth,
I can't be seen with you, you see
Please don't make me cry,
Please don't make me cry,
I'm just like you I know you know,
I'm just like you so leave me alone
such great heights | iron & wine
Come down now, they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we'll stay
20 years of snow | regina spektor
She's a dying breed
She's a dying breed
She says I'd prefer the moss
I'd prefer the mouth
A baby of the swamps
A baby of the south
girls | marina and the diamonds
I'll stick to my apple pie.
Is there any possibility
You'll quit gossiping about me
To hide your insecurities?
All you say is: "Blah, blah!"
Girls they never befriend me,
Cause I fall asleep when they speak,
Of all the calories they eat.
All they say is: "Na na na na na!"
strange girl | the airborne toxic event
And some lines around our eyes
But you just act like it was a fact of life
It didn't come as a surprise
You're such a strange girl
You're such a strange, strange girl
You're such a strange girl
And no you can't ever go home
Everything has changed and people are gone
