Sonnet (originally performed by The Verve)

[Lyrics]

The stars are out of clouds tonight
Reminding me of our good times
And we are watchin’ all our friends pass by
now

You loved the music that I write
so I chose the music, you the dime
We’re running down the path of life, too hard

You say, “wanna runaway”
Tryna stick around, youth gets far away

Waves are supposed to come at their time
and I’m ready for nothing, but though

We don’t ever lose I know
We don’t ever age, we know
So don’t waste your time
Wasting your life
Just keep going, nothing else
We’re gonna last
All gonna last
We’ll everlast


Yeah we could drive somewhere tonight
Where we could go back to the time
when all we do was drink and talk and drive

We used to be much young and wild
But I chose the music, you the dime
that’s where it fell apart, don’t cry
Just drive

I say, “wanna runaway”
Tryna stick with mine, dream gets far away

Now TV stars are younger than us 
and I’m hating that feeling, but though

We don’t ever lose I know
We don’t ever age, we know
So don’t waste your time
Wasting your life
Just keep going, nothing else
We’re gonna last
All gonna last 
We’ll everlast


Where’s the time gone?
Where have you gone?
Oh my, my, my

Where’d the life’s gon’,
gonna lead us?
I’m scared, tell me now 


We won’t ever lose I know
We won’t ever age, we know
So don’t waste your time
Wasting your life
Just keep going, nothing else
We’re gonna last
All gonna last 
We’ll everlast

We’ll everlast

Everlast

[Lyrics]

Trouble, that’s what I’ve always been and in
but you think that’s what I wanted to be?
I just wanted to be a good girl
Just like I told you, so

Take me away from this city
Where life betrayed me whilst I loved it

Take me away from these buildings
You know this place is choking me

Hold my head, I’m getting intoxicated
Drive me real far, I don’t wanna come back
Though I hate it that I love you so bad
Take me in your arms so I can stop shakin’…


I’ve tried so hard to get along
But no I can’t change, I just pretended
I don’t want to do this no more
I’m getting back to dark side, so

Take me away from this city
Where life betrayed me whilst I loved it

Take me away from these buildings
You know this place is choking me

Hold my head, I’m getting intoxicated
Drive me real far, I don’t wanna come back
Though I hate it that I love you so bad
Take me in your arms so I can stop shakin’…


I’ll scream, yeah top of my lungs
Ride out of hell, yeah hit the floor
Sun chasin’ us, we’re on the run 
And I’m never lookin’ back, no way I’m never going back…


Hold my head, I’m getting intoxicated
Drive me real far, I don’t wanna come back
Though I hate it that I love you so bad
Take me in your arms so I can stop shakin’…

I can’t take this life for a minute more
Look at how it massacred me, when all I wanted was a little hope
Just take me away from here baby

Take Me Away

[Lyrics]

Close to 4
I’m on my way to home
I don’t feel much but cold
How’s this supposed to be like,
Isn’t it July?

Time is gold
I’m running out of dough,
Tomorrow’s dawn seems too close
It’s hunting me down in this streetlight

But I gotta get off from this town
At least once in my life
I wanna lean on you for now
I know you’re sleeping now but I’m in the phone box

Hi, oh can you hear me?
It’s night so cold, it’s hard to breathe
in life like this it’s hard to dream
Feel like I’m fading out
fading out
I’m fading out
Falling down, now


Life’s been more
More than I thought how it could go
Dream sometimes is a sore, 
turns faith to endless self-doubt and loathe

Sinking slow
though I’m running fast than ever before
Chasing stars was a black hole
devouring every dime I put into

But I gotta get off from this town
At least once in fuckin’ life
So I should lean on you for now
I know you’re sleeping now but I’m still in the phone box

Hi, oh can you hear me?
It’s night so cold, it’s hard to breathe
in life like this it’s hard to dream
Yeah I, I’m fading out
fading out
I’m fading out,
Falling down, now

missed calls

Roses on the vine

[Lyrics]

This town is hard to get out
I’m lying trapped under the daily life
I ask the stars, am I out of luck?
I need somebody to pull me out

cause I’m tied, string under the floor
Time’s been stopped here way long before Like an old, old music box
Nothing changes in a small town
that’s been out of work too long

And I’m dancing through the night
A ballerina in the box, I’m spinning around
Damn baby, I dream of the world outside,
under the dome shaped night sky
I’m losing my mind in small paradise in mind


You know, it’s hard to get off
Especially when your dream seems too far
But being here’s making me sick
I need somebody to pull me out 

cause I’m tied, string under the floor
Time’s been stopped here way long before Like an old, old music box
Nothing changes in a small town
that’s been out of work too long

And I’m dancing through the night
A ballerina in the box, I’m spinning around
Damn baby, I dream of the world outside,
under the dome shaped night sky
I’m losing my mind in small paradise in mind


Could it be you all,
Saviors of my own?
Watch me fall,
If it’s what you want

I, I pray for love,
every single one
in this world,
Let me sing for y’all


Here I’m dancing through the night
Somebody open the box, I’m spinning around
My head is full of sound
I dream of the chance outside,
under the old same night sky
I’m losing my mind in small paradise in mind 

Old Music Box

[Lyrics]

Baby, is it a sin
to fall in love with something that the one has got?

'Cause lately I had a dream
of the savior coming through to take me out

But it’s real, my lightened heart
And if it’s good enough to love
Is it still wrong to take everything all you got as mine?

Get me stars, send me flowers,
Drop my records, buy me gowns
Save my whole dream and life
And you can be my rising star

Finest hour of shooting star,
I’ve done my make up in your car
Take me all down the road
So I can be your rising star


Midnight is gliding in
Stars are fading out beyond your magnet eyes

And me, watching you sleep,
I feel my broken heart is aching for your love

So if it’s real, my lightened heart
And if it’s good enough to love
Is it still wrong to take everything all you bring as mine?

Get me stars, send me flowers,
Drop my records, buy me gowns
Save my whole dream and life
And you can be my rising star

Finest hour of shooting star,
I’ve done my make up in your car
Take me all down the road
So I can be your rising star


What is love, if I love your body and soul
Then am I allowed to love what you serve?
Can I love the power over you,
or the things you lose for me?

Is it wrong wanting to be your girl
to take everything you got?
Is it wrong to make you want to give,
is it love or a desire?

Rising Star

[Lyrics]

I’m heading to the west, got much of time to kill
Such a opening scene for this crappy indie film 
Summer’s been magnifique, ever since I knew it’s here
But I’m pale as shit, beneath the skin like faded ink

I don’t think this time off would take care of my disease, than those -
drugs on the bathroom shelf, or them drinks on sedative
I might be watching flies, sipping on some cherry coke under the sun
All day long, and it’s a fucking remedy


I’m going nowhere, I just rot like peaches in the sink
Sleep off for centuries, then be woken by the heat
Our friends went overseas - is there something to do with these empty streets?
The sky is clear, but how I feel, to be sincere…

I don’t think this time off would take care of my disease, than those -
drugs on the bathroom shelf, or them drinks on sedative
I hear cars passing by, trippin’ on the fumes while drying my pedicure
for all day long, and it’s a fucking remedy
