luciazephyr: Book of the Still, the time traveler's lifeline (Default)
"On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first fifteen songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down a random line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs."

1: I could leave, but I won't go/Though it'd be easier, I know/Can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes/But then why does it always seem to be/Me looking at you, you looking at me

2: Down with the old me/I'm over-analysing tonight/Stop trying to figure it out/You're trying to figure me out/You know, I used to be the back-porch poet with my book of lines always open/Knowing all the time I'm writing, I'm never gonna find the perfect rhyme/For heavier things

3: I want you to be unleashed/I want you to remember/I want you to believe in me/I want you on my side

4: You know, it might not be that bad/You were the best I ever had/If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago/I might not be alone

5: Here's to the good life, or so they say/All these parties and games that all these people play/They tell me this is the place to be/All these beautiful people, but nothing to see

6: I see you, the only one who knew me/But now your eyes see through me/I guess I was wrong/So what now?/It's plain to see we're over/And I hate when things are over/With so much left undone

7: I know what you're doing/I see it all too clear/I'll only taste the saline/If I kiss away your tears

8: Is there a line that I could write/That's sad enough to make you cry/When all the lines you wrote to me were lies

9: I bought a novel, some perfume, fortune all for you/But it's not my conscience begging to be untrue/I asked of my reflection/What is there to do?

10: And you won't give up the search/For the ghosts in the halls/You wear sandals in the snow/And a smile that won't wash away/Can you look out the window/Without your shadow getting in the way

11: This place smells of cheap wine and cigarettes/This place is always such a mess/Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn/Feel so alone/I feel just like somebody else/Man I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same

12: And there's no time left for losing/Cause when you stand, they fall/Counting down the world turned over/Angels fall without you there

13: If this is a curse, it christens you/You're like King Midas in reverse/Without retinue/You're mercenary faith begging for proof/When your sweetest revenge never comes true/Why sing it again, why sing is again

14: Come on and close the curtains/Cause all we need is candlelight/You and me, and a bottle of wine/And I'll hold you tonight

15: It's hard to say what it is I see in you/Wonder if I'll always be with you/Words can't say what I can do/Enough to prove (song title here)
