“Sweetness” by Jimmy Eat World

If you’re listening
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Sing it back
Whoa oh oh oh oh
String from your tether unwinds
(string from your tether unwinds)
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Up and outward to bind
(Up and outward to bind)
Whoa oh
Whoa oh

I was spinning free
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
With a little sweet
And simple numbing me

Are you listening?
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Sing it back
Whoa oh oh oh oh
So tell me what do I need
(tell me what do I need)
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
When words lose their meaning
(When words lose their meaning)
Whoa oh
Whoa oh

I was spinning free
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
With a little sweet
And simple numbing me

Yeah, stumble ’til you crawl
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Sinking into sweet uncertainty

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (Aah ahh ahh ahh ahh)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (Aah ahh ahh ahh ahh)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (Aah ahh ahh ahh ahh)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (Aah ahh ahh ahh ahh)

(Are you listening?)
(Are you listening?)

If you’re listening
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
If you’re listening.
(Are you listening?)
Sing it back
Whoa oh oh oh oh
If you’re listening.
(Are you listening?)

And I’m still running away
(I’m still running away)
Whoa oh (whoa oh)
Whoa oh (whoa oh)
I won’t play your hide and seek game
(Your hide and seek game)
Whoa oh (whoa oh)
Whoa oh

I was spinning free
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
With a little sweet
And simple numbing me

What a dizzy dance
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
This sweetness will not be concerned with me (whoa oh oh oh oh oh)
No the sweetness will not be concerned with me (whoa oh oh oh oh oh)
No the sweetness will not be concerned with me (whoa oh oh oh oh oh)

“Are You Listening?” by Area 11

All aboard this sinking ship
No business here it’s just relationships
Derived
Contrived
Another Mind Homogenised!
Should this mean more to me?
Just join the tribe and feel accepted
But cool don’t come for free
That much was expected, forever discontented
The rope that pulled me from the pit
Now hangs around my neck
Is this the clue you wanted?
Too cryptic for the rest
Play the part of the victim if it puts your mind at ease
Put all the blame on me
Close your eyes
And listen please!

So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?
Tell me now, are you really listening?
When everybody tells you to stop,
And that you’re never good enough
Tell me now, are you really listening?

Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
Are you listening? Are you listening?
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh

Reach out for help, and she lets you down
So gild your pockets, we’ll watch you drown
A burnt taste
A real waste
A sticky stain we’ll soon erase
Cause this means more to me
And we’ll still look to the lights in the sky
It’s hard when all I see
Another ceiling I don’t recognize
With no concern, and deathless turn
Now we take control

So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?
Tell me now, are you really listening?
When everybody tells you to stop,
And that you’re never good enough
Tell me now, are you really listening?

Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
Are you listening? Are you listening?
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh

As we pass by tonight
We fade into hindsight
The time slips off our lives
Can this be realized?

So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?
Tell me now, are you really listening?
When everybody tells you to stop,
And that you’re never good enough
Tell me now, are you really listening?
Are you listening?

Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
Are you listening? Are you listening?
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
Are you listening? Are you listening!
([Backing:] This was the night, and this was the place. This was the moment, this was the moment)

“In Summer” by Josh Gad from Frozen

Bees’ll buzz, kids will blow dandelion fuzz
And I’ll be doing whatever snow does in summer.
A drink in my hand, my snow up against the burning sand
Probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer.

I’ll finally see a summer breeze, blow away a winter storm.
And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm!
And I can’t wait to see, what my buddies all think of me.
Just imagine how much cooler I’ll be in summer.

Dah dah, da doo, uh bah bah bah bah bah boo

The hot and the cold are both so intense,
Put ’em together it just makes sense!

Rrr Raht da daht dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah doo

Winter’s a good time to stay in and cuddle,
But put me in summer and I’ll be a, happy snowman!

When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream,
Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin’ off steam.

Oh the sky would be blue, and you guys will be there too
When I finally do what frozen things do in summer.

I’m gonna tell him.

Don’t you dare!

In summer!​

“All the Gold in California” by Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers

All the gold in California
Is in the bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else’s name.
So if you’re dreamin’ about California,

It don’t matter at all where you’ve played before.
California’s a brand-new game.

Tryin’ to be a hero, winding up a zero,
Can scar a man forever right down to your soul.
Living on the spotlight can kill a man outright
‘Cause everything that glitters is not gold.

All the gold in California
Is in the bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else’s name.
So if you’re dreamin’ about California,
It don’t matter at all where you’ve played before.
California’s a brand-new game.

“Lucille” by Kenny Rogers

In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
On a barstool, she took off her ring
I thought I’d get closer so I walked on over
I sat down and asked her name

When the drinks finally hit her she said “I’m no quitter
But I finally quit livin’ on dreams
I’m hungry for laughter and here ever after
I’m after whatever the other life brings”
In the mirror, I saw him and I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking
He turned to the woman and said

“You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I’ve had some bad times, lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille”

After he left us, I ordered more whiskey
I thought how she’d made him look small
From the lights of the barroom
To a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
She must have thought I’d lost my mind
I couldn’t hold her ’cause the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time

“You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I’ve had some bad times, lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille

You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I’ve had some bad times, lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille”
