This Picture-Perfect Girl

They want me to be this picture-perfect girl, in a little picture-perfect world. But I cuss when I talk, and I lean when I walk...You won't bring me down, down, d-d-down. - Bibi Bourelly

They want me to be this picture-perfect girl
In a little picture-perfect world
But I cuss when I talk, and I lean when I walk
And I've been through some shit and I've gained and I've lost

You won't bring me down, down, d-d-down
Down, d-d-down, down, d-d-down

I Asked Myself For Peace

I asked myself for peace, and found it at my feet. Staring at the sea. - Future Islands

I wrestled by the sea
A loneliness in me
I asked myself for peace
And found it at my feet
Staring at the sea

All that glitters is gold
Don't believe what you've been told
People lie, people love, people go
But beauty lies in every soul

I asked myself for peace
And found a piece of me
Staring at the sea

Let It Go, Let It Go, Let It Go

Are we friends? Do you care? Let it go, let it go, let it go. - Enlightened TV Show

Are we connected?
What do you say about me?
Was I mean to you?
Were you to me?

What do you think of me? Deep down?
Am I ridiculous? Or sweet? Or decent?
Are we friends? Do you care?
Let it go, let it go, let it go.

Are You Looking For Peace Of Mind?

Are you looking for peace of mind? You won't find it in your status line. - Allen Stone

Are you looking for peace of mind?
You won't find it in your status line.

Are you looking for security?
Validation, or identity?
You won't find it in things.
The more you got, oh, the less you see.

If They Ask You To Stand

If they ask you to stand, well they just want you to kneel. - Jet

Now I am a young man
I see cracks in the steel
If they ask you to stand
Well they just want you to kneel
If you don’t know what you want
Then you're just gonna have to take it all

Come on, come on
I don't need anyone
To tell me what to believe
Come on, come on
Shout it out everyone
You can't tell me what to believe

- Jet - Come On Come On

If You Give You Begin To Live

If you give, you begin to live. You begin, you get the world. - Dave Matthews Band

To change the world,
Start with one step.
However small,
The first step is hardest of all.

If you give, you begin to live.
You begin, you get the world.

Well I Can Only Love Someone

Well I can only love someone I am just a person. My father loved my mother and I am her son. - Blues Traveler

Well I can only love someone I am just a person
My father loved my mother and I am her son
The preceding verses are the halves of my soul
I'm just the battlefield and that is my role
There's a tug of war between what I can and can't feel
The inevitable compromise determines the real
The equation the reason for my being here
The struggle resulting in my invention of the tear

For I'm only something
Yes I'm only something
Yes I'm only something
And I can only love someone

- Blues Traveler - Battle Of Someone

You Take It For Granted

You take it for granted, I guess that's what it's for. But before you demand it, take a look out your back door. - Blues Traveler

I love what's mine 'cause what's mine is all mine
Gives me a reason to go get more
Don't really care where I go to get it
I ain't too clear about "What's yours is yours"

You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it
Take a look out your back door

- Blues Traveler - Freedom
