Futures

Jimmy Eat World

Favourite Track: Futures

1. Futures - "I, I always could count on futures. That things would look up & they look up. Why is it so hard to find balance between living decent & the cold and real?"

2. Just Tonight... - "We'll never be the same, never feel this way again. I'd give you anything but you want pain. A little water please? I taste you all over my teeth. Never again, just tonight, ok?"

3. Work - "If you only once would let me, only just one time, then be happy with the consequence. With whatever's gonna happen tonight, don't think we're not serious. When's it ever not? The love we make is give and it's take, I'm a game to play along." 

4. Kill - "So go on love, leave while there's still hope for escape. Got to take what you can these days. There's so much ahead, so much regret. I know what you want to say, I know it but can't help feeling differently. I loved you, and I should have just said it. But tell me just what has it ever meant? I can't help it baby, this is who I am. Sorry, but I can't just go turn off how I feel. you kill me, you build me up but just to watch me break. I know what I should do but I just can't walk away." 

5. The World You Love - "Got a story & it's almost finished. All I need is someone to tell it to, maybe, that's you. Our time is borrowed and spent too freely, every minute I have needs to be made up. But how? I'm looking for a nice way to say, "I'm out." I want out. I fall asleep with my friends around me, only place I know I feel safe, I'm gonna call this home. "

6. Pain - "I dont' feel the way I've ever felt, I know. I'm gonna smile & not get worried. I try but it shows. Anyone can make what I have built and better now. Anyone can find the same white pills, it takes my pain away."

7. Drugs or Me - "Stay with me, you're the one that I need. You make the hardest things seem easy. Keep my heart somewhere drugs don't go, where the sun shine lay. Always keep me close." 

8. Polaris - "I'm done, there's nothing left to show. Try but I can't let go. Are you happy when you're standing still? Do you really want the sugar pill? I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start to another, it feels so hard. As a train approaches, getting on as I'm sure your kiss remains employed. Am I only dreaming? You say that love goes anywhere. In your darkest time, it's 

9. Nothingwrong - "It's second nature to say, "hey hey hey, we've done nothing but-", nothing but take what's handed down,s aid nothing but words approved to shout." 

10. Night Drive - "Give me everything you got now, I don't feel a single thing. Drag me out into the cold rain, let it hover over me. Kiss me with your cherry lipstick, never wash you off my face. Hit me, I cant take your cheap shots. Leave you with a lovely name." 

11. 23 - "I felt for sure last night at once we said goodbye. No one else will know these lonely dreams. No one else will know that part of me. I'm still driving and and I'm sorry everyday. I won't always love these selfish things, I won't always live. Stop it.. it was my turn to decide, I knew this was our time. No one else will have me like you do, no one else will have me, only you. You'll sit alone forever, if you wait for the right time. What are you hoping for? I'm here and now I'm ready, holding on tight. Don't give away the end, the one thing that stays mine. Amazing still it seems, I'll be 23. I won't always love what I'll never have. I won't always live in my regrets." 

12. Shame - "It might take you all night, but you'll love me with time. Take from the rest, your debt erased. Sleep with my curse and feel no shame." 

13. When I Want - "Please let's not get into this tonight, see its easy and its what you like. Don't call me foolish 'cause I'm not. Just be the lover when I want, if I'm hated, well it's not my fault I swear. Now don't you go think its love? How did you think its where I'm from? Don't call me foolish 'cause I'm not."

Say Anything 

Favourite Track: Total Revenge

1. Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too - "You're too young to be this empty girl, I'll prepare you for a sick dark world. Know that you will be my downfall, but I call & I call & I call." 

2. Little Girls - "Don't you come near me. Don't you come close to me. Why don't you fear me? Don't dance so close to me." 

3. Most Beautiful Plague - "But you're beautiful tonight and the stars are burning bright. And I give this curse to you like there's nothing else to do. So let the purple sky explode, let it shower us with toads. Let the scarlet river flood, let it drown us all in blood. Tonight,  I guess. I'm human. So thank you for fighting and having sex with me."

4. It's a Metaphor, Fool - "All you are to me is dead skin, flaking off my hand onto the pavement. All you are to me is dead skin, breakin' up my band won't bring you payment." 

5. Total Revenge - "When I like you, it's total revenge. I want to, but I can pretend that I don't need to be by your side again."

6. Metal Now - "I want it now, I want the danger. Give me strength and I'll give you wings."

7. I Will Never Write an Obligatory Song About Being on the Road and Missing Someone - "I was hoping you were open, but you were not. I missed my shot. But then you called me, love befalled me, I never knew. I never knew it was you." 

Set Yourself on Fire

Stars

Favourite Track: Your Ex-Lover is Dead, Calender Girl 

1. Your Ex- Lover is Dead - "Live through this, and you won't look back. There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave. You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave. I'm not sorry I met you, I'm not sorry it's over, I'm not sorry there's nothing to save."

2. Set Yourself on Fire - "In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen, in the smile of the child staring at the TV screen, in the diary of a priest in the sheets that lie upon his bed. Out there amongst the waves & inside your lover's head. "

3. Ageless Beauty - "Oceans won't freeze so loosen your heart. Underestimated, undefeated in this love." 

4. Reunion - "All I want is one more chance to be young and wild & free. All I want is one more chance to show you, you were right for me." 

5. The Big Fight - "Did I build you a prison? Please don't let me go. I've unlocked the doors but you can't walk away from me." 

6. What I'm Trying to Say - "We fell apart in the parties of an empty heart, we danced the junkies in the shadows of bad modern art. We clicked out heels and we wished we were home, one more tab & your silk hits the chrome. I am trying to say, what I want to say, without having to say "I love you.""

7. One More Night - "He starts with her back 'cause that's what he sees. When she's breaking his heart she still fucks like a tease. Release to the sky, look him straight in the eye and tell him now that you wish he would die. You'll never touch him again so get what you can, leaving him empty just because he's a man. So good when it ends, they'll never be friends. One more night, that's all they can spend." 

8. Sleep Tonight - "We don't want to sleep tonight, still young like that I count the lines. Beside your mouth that smiles now. My arms reach up as you go down with buried heads, we both forget all of the past and its regret. Wind picks up, the window shakes, we won't hear the morning break." 

9. The First Five Times - "You stopped yourself & kissed me. And I grape your lips and told you 'I know, I know, I know - I feel the same as you." 

10. He Lied About Death - "What gives you the right, to fuck with our lives?"

11. Celebration Guns - "And then the next day, how will you know your enemy? By their colour or your fear, one by one, you can cage them in your freedom. Make them all disappear." 

12. Soft Revolution - "We are here to take the blame to take the taunts and if the shame. We are here to make you feel. It terrifies you, but it's real." 

13. Calender Girl - "I dreamed I was dying as I so often do. And when I awoke I was sure it was true, I ran to the window; threw my head to the sky. And said 'whoever is up there, please don't let me die.' But I can't live forever, I can't always be."

Little Hell

City and Colour

Favourite Track: We Found Eachother in the Dark

1. We Found Eachother in the Dark - "So bright, the flames burned in our hearts that we found each other in the dark. Black beast, out in the wilderness, we are fighting to survive and convalesce. But we're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live."

2. Natural Disaster - "Whether a natural disaster ripped it from it's foundation or an economic tragedy tore apart it's family, they're all empty. They're all empty."

3. The Grand Optimist - "I fear I'll die from complications, complications due to things that I've left undone. That all my debts will be left unpaid, feel like a cripple without a cane. I'm like a jack of all trades who's a master of none." 

4. Little Hell - "What if I can't be all that you need me to be, we've got a good thing going, we have some promises to keep. But my addiction can be such a detriment, please believe my dear, I am more than penitent. What if everything's just the way that it will be? Could it be that I am meant to cause you all this grief? My war ships are lying off the coast of your delicate heart. And my aim is steady and true, as it's been right from the start. There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me, from my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories. If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all." 

5. Fragile Bird - "There cold nightmares, they make her worse for wear. Lost in the dark, she's got a heavy heart and when she wakes in her fragile state. Well, she calls my name hoping that I keep her safe. All that I can do, is hope she makes it through." 

6. Northern Wind - "You're the Northern Wind sending shivers down my spine. You're like fallen leaves in an autumn night. You're the lullaby singing me to sleep. You are the other half, you're like the missing piece." 

7. O' Sister - "My sister, what made you fall from grace? I'm sorry that I was not there to catch you. What have the demons done? What have the demons done with the luminous light that once shined from your eyes? What makes you feel so alone? Is it the whispering ghosts that you fear the most? But the blackness in your heart won't last forever, I know it's tearing you apart. But it's a storm you can weather." 

8. Weightless - "So stay close, remain next to me, I need to feel important. Because it's your eyes I don't believe and my heart, you will, you will mislead. Do you know the consequence that comes with having such confidence? Holding all the weight in my life then you turn and walk away from me." 

9. Sorrowing Man - "There's no sympathy for we don't know the cure, cause what you've got, well it runs too pure. But you've lived and breathed more than any man I know. But you're not done, oh, at least I hope." 

10. Silver and Gold - "I woke from the dream in a cold, cold sweat. I was full of doubt and deep regret, for suddenly it was so clear to me - there was nothing left in which to believe. And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared."  

11.  Hope for Now - "What will it take to live as if I would not another day? To live without despair and to be without disdain. How can I instil such hope and be left with none of my own? What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life? I sought after, after reasons to stay. I was lost. I was lost."

12. At the Bird's Foot - "But what of the eleven men at the bottom, who sank to an underwater grave? And while they were sinking, and their lungs filled with oil, they must have been screaming, screaming to be saved." 

13. Make Believe - "But I tend to believe that it's all for not and when the sun does set, all our souls will rot, along with our flesh and our bones and our blood will seep into the earth reconnecting with the mud. And I think to myself, what a beautiful lie to waste being devote to what could all turn out to be a lie." 

Real Talk

Man Overboard

Favourite Track:  World Favourite

1. Real Talk - "When the days slow down this summer, don't forget. I did two years in your silhouette, your jaws of steel never forgave. It's haunting the way the silence sounded. If I fucked up long ago, I'm sorry, I didn't realize it counted."

2. World Favourite - "I spoke to myself in the mirror for a while tonight. I made a promise that I would never fuck up having you in my life. To be honest, I think you're my favourite girl I ever met." 

3. Fantasy Girl - "And just like I said.. she crept back up inside my bed. Said that she missed everything and all those words that made me fall came out. Just like a trap, everything just fell right back and we were on track. And I could lie with her all night now.."

4. Parting Gift - "Bringing everyone down, you left this house feeling empty. But it's better than feeling like it's burning to the ground." 

5. Darkness, Everybody - "I've been trying to escape but something keeps calling me. A feeling I can't shake, the darkness has swallowed me. I can't move fast enough to ditch what has followed me and lightning strikes everything that I touch. This is how it feels for me to be on my own, the sadness has cut me down to the bone and it's do bad that I don't think I'll make it home tonight." 

6. She's Got Her Own Man Now - "At my best, I'd suggest I've been weird since she left. It's normal autumn stuff, I guess I never thought enough."

7. Al Sharpton - "I know you're sound asleep right now and you can't hear, but I'm gonna explain everything and turn this into every dream your pretty little head could ever come up with." 

8. Montrose - "I figured I'd go - at the least to check in 'cause I just miss her grin, and to show that I didn't really never wanna see you again. And my heart caves in when I look at you. This is so hard."

9. FM Dial Style - "I'm so tired. Since I met you, I'm always inspired. I think I could change the world if you were really my girl and we would have all we desired." 

10. I Like You - "I'm finally laying somewhere, where I'm that that I'm here & all my troubles said goodbye and the heartache disappeared. I miss you most when I try to act like I don't care about the warm hands, I think that we're best friends. I like you face, that's why I stare. You're everything I hoped a girl could be." 

11. Septemberism - "Every little thing made me miss you more. So I kept running, it's like I had never been so sure of doing something stupid, doing something without thinking. I'm just tryna make a getaway to you, and I'd have gone a thousand miles more." 

12. Sidekick - "I've lived a lie, kid. I'd love to run & hide, kid. You could say fuck them all and ditch the world like I did." 

13. Again -  Somedays I wake up, I don't have a plan. The whole words just crumbles inside of my hands and I know you don't care, you don't care at all. If I could learn to let go, it would be the second feet for the fall."
