Tennis sings My Better Self




((((( Music Mood : My better self still knows that meaning comes and goes )))))


My Better Self
My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is it made?
I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes

Each and every portent
Of bitter substance spent
Despite the effort I have planned
You seem to lose what I've meant

If I don't use words
Then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purposely function
That cannot be met

Those who created know
Air is in man and blow
Only the value given shows
That meaning comes and goes

My better self still knows

That meaning comes and goes
What is it made?
I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes

If I don't use words
Then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purposely function
That cannot be met

If I don't use words
Then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purposely function
That cannot be met

My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is it made?
I do not know
But meaning comes and goes

Brandi Carlile sings That Year



((((( Music Mood : Forgive and forget... )))))

That Year
I must have been sleeping,
I must have been drinking,
I haven't been dreaming about you for years.
There was a sharp turn and a sunburn
I was too cool for high school that year.

Must have have been new years, no one invited you,
You took things too far but I missed you
And your antics. you were lonesome and
Blue-eyed and so special to us.

You should have taken a long break
Instead of a long drop from a high place.
Ten years I never spoke your name.
Now it feels good to say it you're my friend again.

Said he forgave you, I said I hated you,
He was the bigger man, I was sixteen.
All the innosence it took well
I guess you finally made the year book. that year.
That year.

You should have taken a long break
Instead of a long drop, instead of a leap of faith,
Ten years I never spoke your name,
Now it feels good to say it you're my friend again.

I was angry
I was a daughter
I was a baptist
I was wrong

Priscilla Ahn sings Oo La La



((((( Music Mood : You didn't know it yet, but you were meant for each other ^^ )))))

Oo La La
What if you took the long way down
To your favorite cafe on the east side of town?
And you got stuck at the light
So you turn down a side street
But you couldn't drive down 'cause it's a Saturday swap meet

Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la
Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la oo

So you get out of your car
And you walk through the crowd
You bargain for a teapot in the shape of an owl
So you walk and you walk and you walk to the coffee shop

Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la
Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la oo

You feel lonely and shy
But you take the empty seat next to the cute guy

What if he smiled when you asked for the time?
Your pen wouldn't write, so he said, "Take mine"
When your coffee got cold, he bought you another
You didn't know it yet, but you were meant for each other

Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la
Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la oo

What if you talked 'til it was time to go?
He said, "See you around"
And you said, "Who knows?"
But you knew in your heart
That you'd see him again
After walking down a side street coming from a new direction

Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la
Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la oo
