Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Shine



I could live in a different place
With a different house and a different name
I could sing you your favourite song
Yeah, you'd sing along, you'd sing along

I could wrap you in your favourite clothes
And kiss your face just so you know
That I'm the one who has got your back
Now turn around and don't be sad

Chorus:
I hope you find the love that's true
So the morning light can shine on you
I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more


I could fly you away with me
To the furthest place you'll ever be
We could smoke 'til the sun goes down
And without a sound, without a sound

We'd fall asleep by the big blue sea
With open eyes so we could see
The way it shines for you and I
You know it'll shine until we fly

[Chorus]

I could wait with you by the water
I could wait with you for the winter to come
I could stand with you with your snow boots on

[Chorus]

I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more

Corrinne May - Just What I Was Looking For



I’ve been beaten down,
I’ve been left for dead
Had my heart trampled
My soul bled
I have sworn I’d never do it again for Love

I believe romance is innocence
I believe in the power of abstinence
I’m afraid I just don’t have the strength for Love

Chorus:
Give me a sign
This is where I’m meant to be

This is where I belong
Could it be time
To seize the opportunity
Could it be
You were just what I was looking for


Am I mistaken or is that a gleam in your eye
The mystique of wondering what we’ll find
When we risk it all just to collide for Love

You were looking ahead
I was looking back
Didn’t know we were both on that one-way track
Oh the sigh of relief to run to the arms of Love

[Chorus]

I can’t believe I’ve waited so long
To say I love you in the words of a love song
No matter where this road will lead us
Hold my hand, till the end
It’s you that I adore

Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

You were just what I was looking for

FT Island - You Are My Life



The overflowing feeling when I happened to meet you
That I can’t quite convey to you, Listen to my heart

Your shining eyes ever looking toward the future
Will be the light illuminating the road
To be together with you, going on forevermore

In this world (I have found), there is only you
You are the only one I want (I want you) you are my life

“Irreplaceable”, the meaning of that word
(For the first time I understand)
It was you who taught it to me, I love your smile

So that I’ll be able to answer (more than anything else)
My love is strong enough to never lose

Be together with me (right now)
Is this what they call fate?

Whenever (for all time) I’ll continue to protect
Everything you are (with these hands)
So right here (I’ll make this oath) You are my life

I want to see the seasons change
together with you

Everything that you are, is all that I am.
Without you, I wouldn’t be able to live

I won’t let you go (Don’t let me go) in truth
It’s you (forever)
So our hearts (can become one)

You are my life
You are my life

P!nk - Please Don't Leave Me



I don't know if I can yell any louder,
How many times have I kicked you out of here?
Or said something insulting?

I can be so mean when I wanna be,
I am capable of really anything,
I can cut you into pieces,
When my heart is, broken.

Chorus:
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please don't leave me

How did I become so obnoxious,
What is it with you that makes me act like this,
I've never been this nasty

Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest,
But baby I don't mean it,
I mean it, I promise

[Chorus]

I forgot to say out loud,
How beautiful you really are to me,
I can't be without,
You're my perfect little punching bag,
And I need you,
I'm sorry.

Please, please don't leave me
Baby, please don't leave me (no, don't leave me)
Please don't leave me
(I always say) I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this

[Chorus]

Baby, please, please don't leave me.

Daughtry - Rescue Me



Our story's old,
Older than the wind,
It's been this sad for years,
How can we pretend,
When we all know just how it's gonna end.

Rescue me,
In the middle of the ocean,
Crashing down, it's always hard to breathe,
Some say its easier to give up on it,
I say it's time to rescue me.

Lost and lonely people staring back,
Afraid to try,
Some of them here, the same as you and I,
The differences are all but left behind,

So I need you now

Rescue me,
In the middle of the ocean,
Crashing down, it's always hard to breathe,
Some say its hard to make the changes,
Rescue me and I'll never be the same,

Rescue me,
In the middle of my darkest hour,
Time will tell,
I never really had the power,
Some say it's easier to give up on it,
I say its time to rescue me.

We gotta get out,
How foolish have we been
To say it's all been a waste of time?
We may lose, and we may win,
But like the sun we will rise again.

Rescue me,
In the middle of the ocean,
Crashing down, it's always hard to breathe,
Some say its hard to make the changes,
Rescue me and I'll never be the same,

Rescue me,
In the middle of my darkest hour,
Time will tell,
I never really had the power,
Some say it's easier to give up on it,
I say its time to rescue me.

Rescue me,
In the middle of the ocean.

Soul Asylum - Runaway Train



Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really lead myself astray

Runaway train, never goin' back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile

How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mysteries seem so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

And everything seems cut and dry
Day and night
Earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

Runaway train, never goin' back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train, never goin' back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Runaway train, never comin' back
Runaway train, tearin' up the track
Runaway train, burnin' in my veins
I run away but it always seems the same

P!nk ft. Nate Ruess - Just Give Me A Reason



Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim

I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them

Now you’ve been talking in your sleep oh oh
Things you never say to me oh oh
Tell me that you’ve had enough
Of our love, our love

Chorus:
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit’s enough
Just a second we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It’s in the stars
It’s been written in the scars on our hearts
We’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again


I’m sorry I don’t understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh we had everything)

Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin’
And it’s all in your mind
(Yeah but this is happenin’)

You’ve been havin’ real bad dreams oh oh
You used to lie so close to me oh oh
There’s nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh our love, our love

Chorus [2]:
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit’s enough
Just a second we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You’re still written in the scars on my heart
You’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again


Oh tear ducts and rust
I’ll fix it for us
We’re collecting dust
But our love’s enough
You’re holding it in
You’re pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We’ll come clean

[Chorus] 2x

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again

Oh oh, that we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

*I love this song! I love how their voices go very well with each other :) :) :)
