Angus And Julia Stone - All Of Me

Florence + the Machine - Shake It Out (Lyrics)

This has been my song for the past week. I never really paid any attention to them. The only time I did, was when Dog Days Are Over came out. The only reason I even stumbled upon this song was because of Glee. They made their own cover of Shake It Out and I thought "WOW" and had to look up the original version. I immediately fell in love.

This describes so much of what I went through. I don't want to get into that but this song means so much to me and I play it at least once a day. I already learned the lyrics through repeated listening. Give it a try.

Time

Time
Minutes ticking on a clock
An intangible thing
that rules our life
Another form of drug that
we are dependent on

Time
An elusive concept
Memories locked away
in the realm of space
The wasted seconds
The moments lost to ignorance
and death

Time
Numbers that mock us when we can't sleep
Numbers that sneer at us when we're late

Time
A meaningless word that holds no true value if wasted
But we spend so much of it wishing away
instead of chasing our dreams

Time
Something we don't have
A limited thing that if not used
Can not be regained
It moves on
without even glancing our way

Time
A thing so precious
it's abused.

Words

I can't seem to be able to keep my word. Well, more correctly, I just won't. I make promises, even when I'm perfectly aware that the words slipping through the cracks of my lips are empty. Hollow letters that spring out of my mouth at a moments notice. And yet, I do nothing to sop them. I let those letters form into words and then into phrases, what seems like honest promises are actually lies in disguise. And what makes it worse, is that I keep making promises that I know I'm not going to keep and let the other person down, willingly. Words seem to be such fickle things.

Breathe

Give me a break why don't you?
Give me some space to breathe
I'm suffocating
No exaggeration
You're sucking all the oxygen
out of me
and into you
breathing down my neck
and clinging to my back

I don't I can do this
I mean
you in my space
all the damn time
exhaling your lies
fogging my view of the truth

I want you gone
Out of here
Go on, I don't need you here
Or ever for that matter
Don't cling to me
or my dress
or my flesh
You will not be another demon
with a human face
Not in my my life

Give me my room
My space
If you do
then you can stay
But you won't
Because you want me near
So close that you turn into a parasite
and suck the life out of my bones
I don't want to be your host
So let me be
and let me breathe

Please
Just let me
BREATHE
