I hate you, I love you
I hate that I love you Don't want to but I can't put Nobody else above you I hate you, I love you I hate that I want you You want her, you need her And I'll never be her - Gnash |

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey ...
Also Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh Totally emotionless except for her heart Mud flowed up into Lump’s pajamas She totally confused all the passing piranhas |

And the old woman behind the pink curtains and the closed door
On the first floor She's listening through the air shaft To see how long our swan song can last And both hands Now use both hands Oh, no don't close your eyes I am writing Graffiti on your body I am drawing the story of How hard we tried -Ani DiFranco, Both Hands |

Get down off the cross, we can use the wood.
Tom Waits, Come on up to the House All that I know to be true Is the touch of your hand on my skin. One look from you can so easily soothe All this turmoil within. As we dance cheek to cheek With our feet so completely Locked in a time all our own. I stop to speak But you gently keep me Moving in time to the song. And in a voice that is sloppy with gin You say, "let the world spin". Cowboy Junkies, River Waltz |

Sometimes I see myself fine, sometimes I need a witness.
And I like the whole truth, but there are nights I only need forgiveness. Sometimes they say "I don't know who you are, but let me walk with you some." And I say "I am alone, that's all. You can't save me from all the wrong I've done." But they're waiting just the same With their flashlights and their semaphores And I'll act like I[b] have faith and like that faith never ends But I really just have friends. -Dar Williams, "My Friends" |

And another from Cowboy Junkies, Ring on the Sill, the best song about getting engaged that manages not to be sappy, makes me cry every time:
He puts her ring on her finger, She brushes back his hair He takes a sip from his glass, She inhales the cold fall air And they're thinking of the long road ahead And the strength that they will need Just to reach the end And there in the silence they search for The balance between this fear that they feel And a love that has graced their lives |

The weather is here I wish you were beautiful
The skies are too clear life's so easy today The beer is too cold, the daiquiri's too fruitiful No place like home when you're this far away I don't care what they say (I don't care) Weather is here, I wish you were beautiful. Jimmy Buffett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4ZaGbZUDdk |
