Songs Tally

9th tally for Angels & Airwaves, 1st tally for Dry Your Eyes

Dry Your Eyes - Angels & Airwaves

I'm not for this and all you ever do is stall. I am so damn sick of trying and now we are fucked 'cause we've wrecked it all. I will not save you. So, dry your eyes, get on your feet, don't pretend to cry or fix you and I. Yeah, we're here again. So, follow me in. Today is the day it ends. I can't complain, it's been good - not great. But, the time flew by. It came from behind, it was flying. It was hard to hold on every time we'd fight and thought it would end - it's exhausting. It left cracks that would grow in and out of mine and into your heart like a virus. It would crawl and would crawl and we lay there blind. It broke you and I.

Always - Blink-182

I've been here before a few times and I'm quite aware we're dying.

After Midnight - Blink-182

I can't find the best in all of this, but I'm always looking out for you. 'Cause you're the one I miss and it's driving me crazy. Bite your lips, your word's a robbery. Do you grin inside? You're killing me. All along we talked of forever, I kind of think that we won't get better. It's the longest start, but the end's not too far away. Did you know, I'm here to stay?

56th tally for Blink-182, 5th tally for Wishing Well

Wishing Well - Blink-182

I reached for a shooting star. It burned a hole through my hand.

Four letter words are all you said, five minutes later we're in bed. Can't count on you to love me but I can count the days since you've been gone.

5th tally for Plain White T's, 3rd tally for Fireworks

Fireworks - Plain White T's

I know you know it can't get much better. Fireworks flying whenever we're together. I know, you know, I know, you know, I know know know you know know know you know know that I know you love me.

You contradict the fact that you still want me around and it's all downhill from here.

3rd tally for Kid Cudi, 3rd tally for Pursuit of Happiness

Pursuit of Happiness - Kid Cudi

You don't really care about the trials of tomorrow.  Rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow.  I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold.  I'll be fine, once I get it.  I'll be good.

4th tally for The Starting Line, 4th tally for Ready

Ready - The Starting Line

I've been waiting for answers, dancing in circles, making me sick.  I've been chained like a tiger to hundreds of liars all holding hands.  Gonna get ready, gonna get ready.  Now, I'm calling all the time, all I wanted was a little bit of time to try, try to get up.  I'm gonna get up.  All they wanted was a little bit of time for me to clear my head, to clear my head.

1st tally for Rancid, 1st tally for Fall Back Down

Fall Back Down - Rancid

I've had a bad year, a lot to go through.  I've been knocked out, beat down, black and blue.  She's not the one coming back for you, she's not the one coming back for you.  If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again.  If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend.  If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again.  If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend.  It takes disaster to learn a lesson.

6th tally for Weezer, 1st tally for Memories

Memories - Weezer

All the memories make me want to go back there, back there.  All the memories, how can we make it back there, back there?  I want to be there again.

Damn, I love my waifu.  Damn I, damn I love my waifu.

42nd tally for A Day To Remember, 4th tally for You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic

You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic - A Day To Remember

You killed what was left of the good in me.  I'm tired, so let me be broken.  Look down at the mess that's in front of me.  No other words need to be spoken and I've got nobody else to blame, though I tried.  Kept all of our past mistakes held inside.  I'll live with regret for my whole life.

29th tally for Say Anything, 3rd tally for Death For My Birthday

Death For My Birthday - Say Anything

I want death, death for my birthday. I want death, death in the worst way. I want death, death for my birthday. Don't get me wrong, 'cause I love life but life has a boyfriend.

37th tally for All Time Low, 4th tally for Forget About It

Forget About It - All Time Low

You know, there are some days where I really feel like this could work. Like, you and I are finally gonna get it right. Then, there are days like today, when you make me wanna tear my fucking hair out. 'Cause I feel like a bad joke.

Songs of the Week

This week really became centered around music on Tuesday.  There's a lot going on in my life right, more so than I'm used to.  A lot of moving parts and new things.  I'm nervous as fuck, but kind of enjoying every moment of it.  Music was there to put everything into perspective and slow things down.  Side note - it's almost impossible for me to choose just one part of the lyrics in the song Therapy.  I kind of wanted to post the entire thing.  My mind has been going a million miles a minute for over a week now.  Also, this is easily my most diverse group of musicians I've ever had in one week.  Kind of awesome, if you ask me.

36th tally for All Time Low, 3rd tally for Therapy

Therapy - All Time Low

Give me therapy, I'm a walking travesty, but I'm smiling at everything. Therapy, you were never a friend to me. You can take back your misery. Arrogant boy, love yourself so no one has to. They're better off without you.  Arrogant boy, cause a scene like you're supposed to.  They'll fall asleep without you.  You're lucky if your memory remains.

1st tally for The Doors, 1st tally for Break on Through (To the Other Side)

You know the day destroys the night, night divides the day.  Tried to run, tried to hide.  Break on through to the other side.

11th tally for Green Day, 1st tally for Let Yourself Go

Let Yourself Go - Green Day

Cut the crap 'cause you're screaming in my ear and you're taking up all of the space. You're really testing my patience again and I'd rather get punched in the face.  You're getting on my every last nerve, everything you've said I've already heard.  I'm sick to death of your every least breath and I don't give a fuck anyway.

3rd tally for Box Car Racer, 2nd tally for Letters to God

Letters to God - Box Car Racer

I won't lie, I won't sin.  Maybe I don't wanna go.  Can't you wait?  Maybe I don't wanna go.

You Had Me at Hello - A Day to Remember

What have I gotten into this time around?  I know that I had sworn I'd never trust anyone again, but I didn't have to.  You had me at hello.

14th tally for Brand New, 2nd tally for Failure by Design

Failure by Design - Brand New

This is a lesson in procrastination.  I kill myself because I'm so frustrated.  Every single second that I put it off means another lonely night I got to race the clock.

1st tally for Semisonic, 1st tall for Closing Time

Closing Time - Semisonic

Closing time.  You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.  I know who I want to take me home.

4th tally for Hollywood Undead, 1st tally for Everywhere I Go

Everywhere I Go - Hollywood Undead

My signing bonus was quickly spent, so I'll beat my meat like I'm a fuckin' butcher and I'll punk the pussy like I'm Ashton Kutcher.

4th tally for You, Me and Everyone We Know, 2nd tally for Carolina Heat

Carolina Heat - You, Me and Everyone We Know

We're at the tip-top, yeah, we're not getting any better than this.  I'm out of lines, girl, we're not getting any smoother than this, but could you blame if I, if I, if I took you all for prisoner with just one line, one lie because I'll be the preacher to all his converts.  Donate now to my rightful cause.  But what good is a quick healing to go if the lesson is never learned, it's just like stitches for show?

1st tally for Eminem, 1st tally for Superman

Superman - Eminem

You don't want that, neither do I.  I don't want to flip when I see you with guys.  Too much pride, between you and I, not a jealous man, but females lie.  But, I guess that's just what sluts do, how could it ever be just us two?  I'd never love you enough to trust you, we just met and I just fucked you.

1st tally for Alex Clare, 1st tally for Too Close

Too Close - Alex Clare

I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more.  Got to be true to myself.  And it feels like I am just too close to love you.  So, I'll be on my way.

5th tally for Weezer, 4th tally for Perfect Situation

Perfect Situation - Weezer

There's the pitch, slow and straight.  All I have to do is swing and I'm a hero.  But, I'm a zero.

9th tally for Rise Against, 3rd tally for Prayer of the Refugee

Prayer of the Refugee - Rise Against

Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground.  I don't need your help now, you will let me down.

Concrete Angel - Gareth Emery

I promise, I won't let you down.

1st tally for Katy Perry, 1st tally for Firework

Firework - Katy Perry

Katy Perry has nice boobs.

Just discovered the Muppets tribute album and this one of standout songs for me.  I adore Rainbow Connection so I was happy to see a good singer cover it.

Song of the Day Tally

4th tally for Weezer, 1st tally for Rainbow Connection

Rainbow Connection - Weezer

What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing and what do we think we might see?

Song(s) of the Day

If someone were to ask me to provide songs that perfectly describe me, my life, how I feel every single day, these would be the 3 I showed them.  No one will ever understand how much I love music & how grateful I am each time I look at my headphones & iPod.

When there's no one there to hear you, the music will listen.

Song of the Day

What's the deal with my brain?  Why am I so obviously insane?

There's the pitch, slow and straight, all I have to do is swing and I'm a hero, but I'm a zero.

As they search the night for someone to hold onto and just pass through.

Tell me there's a logic out there, leading me to better prepare for the day that something really special might come.  Tell me there's some hope for me, I don't wanna be lonely for the rest of my days on the Earth.

Song of the Day

I can't say enough about this song.  I think the lyrics are brilliant, seriously, this song has some of my favorite lines & lyrics of ANY song.  The music video is fantastic as well.  This truly is an amazing song, immensely underrated.
