The Fray, The Fighter

The lover held her love. She begged him not to go. The fighter wrapped his gloves. The fighter said, 'I know, I know, I know.' Just this one last time, I swear you'll still be mine. But he can't promise much. He goes for one last touch, one last touch...The fighter goes inside. The doubt is creeping in. He swings with all his might at all that might have been. And she's in love with him. But lovers don't always win...What breaks your bones is not the load you're carrying. What breaks you down is all in how you carry. The lover held her love. She begged him not to go. She unwrapped his gloves. The lover said "I know, I know, I know.' Kissed his trembling lips. She touched his fingertips...

Third Eye Blind, Bonfire

If nothing else I am myself. It's all I have to give. Everything's changing now. And we could live like kings if we take the risk or we could live with doubt. Everything's changing now. Oh now, come on, come on.Lightning comes and lightning goes and it's all the same to me. Let it in cuz I want you so. I can hardly breathe or release into one thousand pieces I have broke into, over you. ....I keep burning on, and on and on....

The Fray, Munich

"Take all you know and you let it go, inside the snow begins to fall. Step to the edge, you and I and we fall below. Take a breath, hold my hand and now you're not alone. Girl, you know it terrifies me and I don't know why. There you go, you paralyze me and I don't know why. Everything is black and white and grey. Walls are shaking when you're touching me. Changes everything, when you're close to me.Back to back, hand to hand, face to face again...Something left, holding us pulls me closer in. Take a breath and the color will return again. Girl, you know it terrifies me and I don't know why. There you go, you paralyze me and I don't know why. Everything is black and white and grey. Walls are shaking when you're touching me..."

Celine Dion, The Power of Love

"Even though there may be times it seems I'm far away, never wonder where I am 'cause I am always by your side. 'Cause I'm your lady and you are my man. Whenever you reach for me, I'll do all that I can. We're heading for something, somewhere I've never been. Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn of the power of love."

Ron Pope, I'm Yours

"A thousand miles ain't really that much space. I dream of you dreaming of me kissing your face. And we can talk all night on the phone, 'til the sun comes up. Forever I pray those beautiful eyes wanna fall upon me and say, 'It's alright, 'cause I'm yours.' I'm yours. You might say this is a fairy tale where the boy finds his princess, then takes it from there. Beautiful girl, you are the reason I smile. Forever I pray those beautiful eyes wanna fall upon me and say, 'It's alright, 'cause I'm yours.' I'm yours."

Ron Pope, 65 More Years

"I will always love you as simple as that sounds. I'd swim an ocean deep as your blue eyes to close the distance that's between us right now. In 65 more years when your body is tired and weary from age and you don't got the strength to walk the stairs up to our room, I'll pick you up and carry you to bed with me. 'Cause I will always love you, as simple as that sounds. Watch the streetlights turn from green to red and back again, dumbstruck by the grace I will do without. 'Cause I will always love you, ain't got too much more to say. I will love you, I will love you, I will love you. Wherever you lay your head, your heart stays here with me."

Ron Pope, Wait For Me

"It's probably gonna get much worse before the sun decides to shine again. Well, I turned 23 this past July and all my dreams they seem to fly away for reasons I don't understand. This is not the way that I'd hoped to be. This is not the way. So if you'd wait for me, come on, wait for me, I'll try. Maybe we'll find a simple answer tonight if you just wait for me, I'll try...And I will lose but never compromise, always battered by the rolling tide. Keeping faith won't set my mind at ease. I would love to find some restful sleep 'cause I am not the way that I'd hoped to be. I am not the way. So if you'd wait for me, come on, wait for me, I'll try."
