hate to stare, but you're winning, and they're playing my favorite song

Today, I'm rolling out a new template. :) It's been about a year, so it seemed it was about time. 

It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song
You can't believe it, you were always singing along
It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can't remember, you try to feel the beat ...
You spend half your life trying to fall behind
You're using your headphones to drown out your mind
It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can't remember, you try to move your feet ...
-"Eet" by Regina Spektor

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go ...
And the history books forgot about us,
And the Bible didn't mention us,
The Bible didn't mention us,
Not even once.
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
-"Samson" by Regina Spektor

I don't want this moment to ever end
Where every thing's nothing without you
I wait here forever just to, to see you smile
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you
Through it all, I've made my mistakes
I stumble and I fall, but I mean these words
I want you to know with everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know
As I bleed my heart out to show and I won't let go
Thoughts read unspoken and now
The pieces of memories fall to the ground
I know what I did and how so, I won't let this go
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you
-"With Me" by Sum 41

People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as your here with me
-"As Long As You Love Me" by the Backstreet Boys

I see signs now all the time
That you're not dead, you're sleeping
I believe in anything
That brings you back to me
-"Signs" by Bloc Party

I'm in here, can anybody see me?
Can anybody help?
I'm in here, a prisoner of history
Can anybody help?
Can't you hear my call
Are you coming to get me now
I've been waiting for
You to come rescue me
I need you to hold
All of the sadness I cannot
Live with inside me
-"I'm in Here" by Sia

I don't speak
You don't know me at all
For fear of what you might do
I say nothing, but stare at you
And I'm dreaming,
I'm tripping over you
Truth be told, my problems solved
You mean the world to me, but you'll never know ...
Could it be you fell for me?
And any possible similarity
If it's so, how would I know?
You never knew me at all,
But I see you
-"I See You" by Mika

Hey over there,
Please forgive me
If I'm coming on too strong
Hate to stare
But you're winning
And they're playing my favorite song
So come here
Little closer
Wanna whisper in your ear
Make it clear
Little question
Wanna know just how you feel
If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me? ...
Hey, you might think that I'm crazy
But you know I'm just your type
I might be a little hazy
But you just cannot deny it
There's a spark between us
-"Hold it Against Me" by Britney Spears

I know I can't take one more step toward you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul
So don't come back to me
Who do you think you are?
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms ...
Dear, it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put the light back in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
Who do you think you are?
-"Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri
