Play no more with the fool, and let the souls wander.

-The Swell Season

Do you hear when I call in the midst of wrong? Do you hear these here words while I sing you this song? Are you caught up in me, like I heard you say? Or, just some big cashier that I’ll have to pay?

I just want to be not what I am today.

I just want to be better than my friends might say.

I just want a small part in your passion’s play.

-William Fitzsimmons

I’m not sure why it always flows downhill. Why broken cisterns never could stay filled.

I’ve spent ten years singing gravity away, but the water keeps on falling from the sky.

-Jon Foreman

Underneath my bed there’s a raincoat. It’s packed with scarves and books, just go look. But, don’t let the storm slow you down. No honey, don’t let the storm slow us down.

The sound the furnace makes irritates you. I promise by next Spring we’ll replace it. But, don’t let the Winter run you out. No honey, don’t let the Winter run us down.

-Adam Agin

He said, “It’s crazy how love stays we me.”

You know it hurts me, ‘cause I didn’t figure it out before.

And now it’s too late for a soliloquy, it’s way to late for dignity.

It’s time for apologies.

-Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

I don’t know what I’ve done, or if I like what I’ve begun. But, something told me to run, and honey, you know me, it’s all or none.

There were sounds in my head, little voices whispering. That “I should go” and “this should end”.

Oh and I found myself listening

-Missy Higgins

We built a tall, tall tower.

Towards the sun, towards the sun.

Took some words and built a wall

And called it love, called it love.
