Get a Grip - Semisonic

Lonely boys and you lonely girls
Here at the end of the lonely world
You're finding out
If there's someone to cry about

Lonely girls and you lonely boys
Playing alone with your lonely toys
Well don't be blue
If there's no one to play with you

Get a grip on yourself you know you should
I got a grip on myself and it feels good
Get a grip on yourself take my advice
I got a grip on myself and it feels nice

When the lights come on and the party's through
There are always a few with nobody to do
Well now don't despair
You'll eventually get there

And meanwhile all of you lonely ones
Here's what to do while you wait for the sun
To rise above
The loneliest kind of love

Get a grip on yourself you know you should
I got a grip on myself and it feels good
Get a grip on yourself take my advice
I got a grip on myself and it feels nice

And it feels nice
And it feels nice

If you're looking for someone to get a grip on you
First you gotta get a grip on yourself it's true

Breathe - Anna Nalick

2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season
"Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.
"Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.

Why They Call It Falling - Lee Ann Womack

It's like jumping
It's like leaping

It's like walking on the ceiling
It's like floating
It's like flying through the air


It's like soaring
It's like gliding
It's a rocket ship you're riding
It's a feeling that can take you anywhere

So why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
I don't know

There was passion
There was laughter
The first morning after
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground

Every time we were together
We talked about forever
I was certain it was Heaven we had found

So why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
I don't know

But you can't live your life
Walking in the clouds
Sooner or later
You have to come down

It's like a knife
Through the heart
And it all comes apart
It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon

It's a hole
It's a cave
It's kinda like a grave
When he tells you that he's found somebody new

So why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
I don't know

Ooh, why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
Now I know
