If Not Now, When - Incubus










I have waited
Dined on ashes
Swung from chandeliers and climbed Everest
And none of it's got me close to this

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?
We've been good
Even a blast, but
Don't you feel like something's missing here?
Don't you dare

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?
Stand up and face the bright light
Don't hide your eyes
It's time

No umbrellas
No sunglasses
Healing Hallelujah everyday

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?
Stand up and face the bright light
Don't hide your eyes

It's time

You Could Be Happy - Snow Patrol

You could be happy and I won't know

But you weren't happy the day I watched you go


And all the things that I wished I had not said

Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head


Is it too late to remind you how we were

But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur


Most of what I remember makes me sure

I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are

You made me happier than I'd been by far


Somehow everything I own smells of you

And for the tiniest moment it's all not true


Do the things that you always wanted to

Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do


More than anything I want to see you, girl

Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

Saved


I may be lost around you these days

Inside your mystic labyrinth if I may

Shivering cold tired and demented

When thoughts of you fall down on me like God’s sunshine

A deadly dance from present to past

A frightening painful ritual I must last

Like an ancient magic time surely must have had killed

That fate made stronger just to spite the power it wields

But I’m alright, though just a little bit deranged

Bumping into walls of you

Scattered into a million pieces of me

Going into a state I can’t control…I can’t escape

It’s no use; I’m like a blotted sheet of music out in the rain

Left unfinished thrown out without a refrain

But let this madness roll and rage

Because you still have me

Enough to turn on the unceasing rain

So let it pour down and drown me

If this is the only way to keep a little of you
Just a little of you with me

To keep me sane

If I can’t be saved
