The Real World - Owl City

I saw the autumn leaves peel up off the street
take wing on the balmy breeze, and sweep you off your feet
and you blushed as they scooped you up on sugar maple wings
to gaze down on the city below, ablaze with wondrous things

downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere
reality is a lovely place but I wouldn't want to live there
I wouldn't wanna live there

weighed down by heavy lids and lunar lullabies
I knew you were wide awake 'cause you smile with your eyes

downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere
reality is a lovely place but I wouldn't want to live there

from the green belt balcony the wildfires look so pretty
ponderosa canopy, I'd never leave if it were up to me
to the ruby redwood tree, and to the velvet climbing ivy
painted all mahogany, I'd never leave if it were up to me
(if it were up to me)

with a starry brush, paint the dusk venetian blue
'cause in the evening hush, you'll never believe the view
and when the leaves return and their whisperings fill the night
they'll freeze and burn where fire and ice collide
where fire and ice collide

can you feel a silk embrace in the satin air?
if we dissolve without a trace, will the real world even care?
downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere
reality is a lovely place but I wouldn't want to live there
I wouldn't want to live there

I saw the autumn leaves peel up off the street
take wing on the balmy breeze, and sweep you off your feet

I Am Terrified of Heights - Breakup Shoes

I am terrified
that I'll be a disappointment in my father's eyes
my father's eyes

I am terrified
that I won't ever find a Bonnie to my Clyde
a Bonnie to my Clyde

I am terrified
that I'm doomed to lead an average, unimpactful life
unimpactful life

I am terrified
of not being liked
oh, and heights
oh, and heights
oh, and heights
oh, and heights

Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons

weep for yourself, my man
you'll never be what is in your heart
weep, little lion man
you're not as brave as you were at the start
rate yourself and rake yourself
take all the courage you have left
and waste it on fixing all the problems
that you made in your own head

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
didn't I, my

tremble for yourself, my man
you know that you have seen this all before
tremble, little lion man
you'll never settle any of your scores
your grace is wasted in your face
your boldness stands alone among the wreck
now learn from your mother or else
spend your days biting your own neck

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
didn't I, my dear

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
didn't I, my dear

Hold Your Fire - Bad Suns

New York lights, red wine nights
spiral stairs, climb three flights
four hard knocks, switched on lights
she says "please, I don't want to cry tonight"

hold your fire, hold your fire
hold your fire
hold your fire, hold your fire
hold your fire

no, I'm not at the end of my rope, on the contrary
I'm not at the end of my rope

oversized hazel eyes
dyed her hair, tattooed thighs
hold that thought, tell no lies
tell me it's gonna be alright
she tries

hold your fire, hold your fire
hold your fire
hold your fire, hold your fire
hold your fire, yeah

no, I'm not at the end of my rope, on the contrary

King & Lionheart - Of Monsters & Men

taking over this town, they should worry
but these problems aside, I think I taught you well
that we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run

and in the winter night sky, ships are sailing
looking down on these bright blue city lights
and they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait
we're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay

howling ghosts, they reappear
in mountains that are stacked with fear
but you're a king and I'm a lionheart
a lionheart

his crown lit up the way as we moved slowly
past the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind
though far away, though far away, though far away
we're still the same, we're still the same, we're still the same

howling ghosts, they reappear
in mountains that are stacked with fear
but you're a king and I'm a lionheart
and in the sea that's painted black
creatures lurk below the deck
but you're a king and I'm a lionheart

and as the world comes to an end
I'll be here to hold your hand
'cause you're my king and I'm your lionheart

a lionheart
a lionheart
a lionheart
a lionheart
a lionheart
a lionheart
a lionheart
a lionheart

howling ghosts, they reappear
in mountains that are stacked with fear
but you're a king and I'm a lionheart
and in the sea that's painted black
creatures lurk below the deck
but you're a king and I'm a lionheart

a lionheart
a lionheart
a lionheart
a lionheart
a lionheart
a lionheart
a lionheart
a lionheart
