2007 in review...

Tegan and Sara, Where Does the Good Go?

Where do you go with your broken heart in tow?
What do you do with the left over you?
And how do you know, when to let go?
Where does the good go, where does the good go?
Look me in the eye and tell me you don't find me attractive.
Look me in the heart and tell me you won't go.
Look me in the eye and promise no love's like our love.
Look me in the heart and unbreak broken, it won't happen.

My Chemical Romance, I’m Not OK

I'm okay!
I'm okay, now.
But you really need to listen to me,
Because I'm telling you the truth.
I mean this, I'm okay!
Trust me.
I'm not okay.
I'm not okay.
Well, I'm not okay.
I'm not o-fucking-kay.

The Fray, How to Save a Life

As he begins to raise his voice,
You lower yours and grant him one last choice.
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed.
He will do one of two things:
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Rilo Kiley, Portions for Foxes

There's blood in my mouth cuz I’ve been biting my tongue all week.
I keep on talking trash, but I never say anything.
And the talking leads to touching,
And the touching leads to sex,
And then there is no mystery left.
And it's bad news, baby I’m bad news.
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news.
I know I’m alone if I’m with or without you,
But just being around you offers me another form of relief.
When the loneliness leads to bad dreams,
And the bad dreams lead me to calling you,
And I call you and say "C'mere!"

The Zutons, Pressure Point

I can't get this pressure point out of my head.
I can't get this pressure point out of my head.
I feel it in work, you know, I feel it in bed.
I can't get this pressure point out of my head.
Pressure pressure pressure pressure...
Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure...

Amy Winehouse, Rehab

The man said, 'Why do you think you here?'
I said, 'I got no idea.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near.'
He said, 'I just think you’re depressed.
Kiss me, yeah baby, and go rest'.
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'No, no, no.'
Yes, I've been black, but when I come back you'll know, know, know.
I don't ever wanna drink again.
I just, ooh I just need a friend,
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend,
It's not just my pride,
It's just 'til these tears have dried.

Feist, Limit to Your Love

There's a limit to your love
Like a waterfall in slow motion
Like a map with no ocean
There's a limit to your love.
There's a limit to you care
So carelessly there
Is it truth or dare
There's a limit to your care.
I love, I love, I love
This dream of going upstream.
I love, I love, I love
The trouble that you give me.
I know, I know, I know
That only I can save me.
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
Right down the road.

Beyonce, Me Myself & I

Me, myself, and I
That's all I got in the end.
That's what I found out.
And it ain't no need to cry.
I took a vow that from now on
I'm gonna be my own best friend.

India Arie, The Heart of the Matter

I've been learning to live without you now,
But I miss you sometimes.
The more I know, the less I understand.
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again.
I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter.
But I think it's about forgiveness,
Forgiveness,
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore.

Amy Winehouse, You Should Be Stronger Than Me

You should be stronger than me.
You been here 7 years longer than me.
Don't you know you're supposed to be the man,
Not pale in comparison to who you think I am.
You always wanna talk it through - I don't care!
I always have to comfort you when I'm there.
But that's what I need you to do - stroke my hair!

CSS, Fuck Off is Not the Only Thing You Have to Show

You wake up
You don't wanna live today.
You make up
You wanna look good again.
You break up
You feel like crashing down.
You go to work
You wanna skip this round right now.
Right no-o-o-o-ow
Right now
Right no-o-o-o-ow
You feel like you wanna change your life today.
You feel bad cuz you didn't make it yesterday.
You fall back
You think you ain't enough.
You fall down
It's hard to get
Up alone
Alo-o-o-o-one
Up alone
Alo-o-o-o-one
Fuck off is not the only thing you have to show
Fuck off is not the only thing you have to show
Fuck off is not the only thing you have to show
Fuck off is not the only thing you have to show...

Matchbox 20, How Far We’ve Come

I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know.
Then I can't remember caring for an hour or so.
Started crying and I couldn't stop myself.
I started running but there's no where to run to.
I sat down on the street, took a look at myself,
Said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell.
Say all goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to.
I believe the world is burning to the ground.
Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out.
Let's see how far we've come (right now),
Let's see how far we've come.
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end.
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend.
Let's see how far we've come,
Let's see how far we've come.
