Lyrics:

Your smile, it was heaven
Enough for me to die
And be okay, as long as I was
In your eyes

You spoke, and I knew
The world was so clear
Inside of your head 
And it killed all my fears

Oh, God, please, don’t let it be gone
This half-hearted faking has gone on for too long,
But everything wonderful came straight from his arms.
So, please, Oh, Lord, let him hear my goodbye song

I refuse to let go
Of this child-like whimsy
The warmth that we felt
When we were alone and free

Maybe this life
It wasn’t meant to last
We were just too in love
To let go of the past

Oh, God, please, don’t let it be gone
This half-hearted faking has gone on for too long,
But everything wonderful came straight from his arms.
So, please, Oh, Lord, let him hear my goodbye song

So I know you’re out there
Finding the strength in your heart,
To go on in this world--
We had to be apart

All I ask of you
Is to remember my smile
When the world tries to make you
Feel sad for a while

Oh, God, please don’t let it be gone
When I said half-hearted, God, you know I was wrong,
Cause everything wonderful came straight from his arms. 
So, please, Oh, Lord, don’t let this be a goodbye song!


GONE

Lyrics:

There's no cause to think that I won't stay
Haven't I been with you all the way?
There's no time like now to make amends
After all, we are more than friends

This could be the time for you and me
We could go wherever we should be
So don't put words between us we shouldn't say
And don't be acting halfway, when you know we're all the way

There are times when I don't see the light
Well I don't know if what I do is right
But when I'm wrong it's never meant for you
So don't confuse my love with what I do

This could be the time for you and me
We could go wherever we should be
So don't put words between us we shouldn't say
And don't be acting halfway, when you know we're all the way.

We Are The Nerds: Narration Sample

Lyrics:

I'm standing on a precipice
Don't know to go forward or back
Your words, they resound inside of me
Remind me of all I lack

But you are lacking too
Innocent, filled with wounds
But I would never look back and say
That either of us were doomed

And, yes, it's always sad
When the romance you create
No longer helps you along
Yields a painful weight

But the real love that I hold
Will always know who you are
And if it helps you grow and thrive
I will love you from afar

I see a hope within you
As bright as the one in me
I know you deeper than you behave
And beneath the words you speak

Well I wanted to protect you
But I couldn't save you from me
But I'm strong, I'll rise above this
And hope you're healthy, hope you're happy

It's so hard to let this go
But for now I'm on my own
And though we once walked, hand-in-hand
Your path is yours alone

So I'll pray everyday
That your path will be clear
And though I may not be there
I will always be here

REAL

Lyrics:

I heard of you today
Made me sad in a way

That you’d been beaten, hurt, and scared
And that I could not be there

I said, “Take me home, Oh God above,
To the one that I do love.”
Til I remembered suddenly
That the one you love’s not me
And though I’m sure that you do care
To interfere is just not fair.

But I wish I could go home
Take me home
To a place
I know
To embrace
To console
To go back
To my soul

Let him live a peaceful life
Free of fear and free of strife
Let me focus on my path
Still without my other half

Let me feel the burning tears within me

But I wish I could go home
Take me home
To a place
I know
To embrace 
To console 
To go back
To my soul

Take me back, Make me whole


A Prayer

Lyrics:

You drew trees with roots
On the corners of your arms
I wore jeans with boots
And painted you with charm

Back when my mind was clouded
With his feelings and with hers
I see how I never allowed it
When you tried to save me from hurt

Don’t know why I was surprised
When I saw you could see through
The fake story I supplied
To the ones I barely knew

But I couldn’t understand
Why the fear of man I held
Disappeared into your hands
Like a glowing magic spell

So in dreams I’ll stroke your hair
And make sure that you’re alive
I’ll take off this mask I wear
We’ll no longer have to hide

And though when we came together 
It brought an apocalypse
I can’t sit and fear forever
The social politics
