The Siren Songs

Slip Away - Josh Garrels

Hold on, before I slip away
The flames gone, dark I am afraid
How strong, is flesh and blood
I cannot, can take back what I’ve done

To you, my sweetest friend
I betrayed you, I walked away again
Now all that’s left, is what might have been
Please forgive me, before we reach the end

Hold on, before I slip away
My loves gone cold, I’ve gone astray
How strong, is flesh and blood
I cannot take back what I’ve done

Kill - Jimmy Eat World

Well, you’re just across the street
Looks a mile to my feet
I want to go to you
Funny how I’m nervous still
I’ve always been the easy kill
I guess I always will

Could it be that everything goes ‘round by chance?
Or only one way that it was always meant to be 
You kill me, you always know the perfect thing to say
I know what I should do, but I just can’t walk away

I can picture your face well
From the bar in my hotel
I wish I’d go to you
I pick up put down the phone
Like your favorite Heatmeiser song goes
It’s just like being alone

Oh God, please don’t tell me this has been in vain
I need answers for what all the waiting I’ve done means
You kill me, you’ve got some nerve, but can’t face your mistakes
I know what I should do, but I just can’t turn away

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 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

The Devil Wears Prada - Hey John, What’s Your Name Again?

The concept of fashion is the one to blame; 
painting the portrait of convictionless existence. 
Well, it must be difficult being so gorgeous. 
Well, it must be difficult claiming to be the kings and queens. 
but it’s all for nothing.
This shall pass, megalomania.
Congratulations on mutilation 
for a life…

I’m gonna hope for you, 
I’m gonna pray for you 
amongst the reckless and the black.
Salvation lies within. 
I’m gonna hope for you, 
I’m gonna pray for you
amongst the reckless and the black.
My time is yours my friend. 
We all find ourselves so horribly weak 
here’s an offering

Someone Like You (Adele Cover) - Charlie Puth & Emily Luther

I do not usually post “radio songs” on this blog, but this duet is beautiful. Their voices and their harmonies were something I wished to share. There is a link to the original video on the bottom of the post. Enjoy!

“I heard that you’re settled down
That you found a girl and you’re married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn’t give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain’t like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it
I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded
That for me, it isn’t over

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don’t forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they’re memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don’t forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead”
