Stretch of sad songs

Just wanted to provide you with a little collaboration of the songs that have been playing through my head all day:

Always think we get more time
Now we're flying through the air, maybe living, maybe dying
And in this motor crash it's you who comes to mind
Don't we always wish we had more time

~Third Eye Blind, "My Hit and Run"

-------------------

I'm so tired, but I can't sleep
Standing on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but cannot say a word

Though we are screaming inside, oh, we can't be heard...
~Sarah McLachlan, "I Will Remember You"

-------------------

If the whole wide world is on your back
If the strength you need is the strength you lack
If you're in a crowd but all alone
If you can't stay here but you can't go home
If you can't answer all the why's
'Cause you're too tired to reach that high
I want you to remember
If you ever need me, you know where to find me
I will be waiting where I've always been
If you ever need me, you know where to find me
I have never left you, I'm where I've always been
Right by your side
~Matthew West, "You Know Where to Find Me"

(How I adore Christian music... seriously)

---------------------


Right in the middle of another big fight
Boom, back, another one tonight
Blood never forgets, but who protects the memories
When we bleed each other from the vein

And if you ever find a way to make this interesting
And if I ever find a way to stop disintegrating
Into pieces that I was that you destroyed
When all that you wanted,
All that you wanted was a good man

Right in the middle of another big fight
Go to bed, it's getting light out
Why do you, why do you
Why do you always find me in the places when I'm coming down?
And how do you do it when I'm overwhelmed by a violet sky
And we fly in a decayed orbit
66 thousand miles an hour goes by, when we kissed
And only now do I feel your mouth
Like an ache you never knew
And it was right in front of you
Oh, how do you do it, roots in the soil untangled
Releasing in sweet summer oil
Still I recoil like mace
In all the little moments I pushed you away that I can't erase
Every moment overflows with power, 66 thousand miles an hour
~Third Eye Blind, "Good Man"

(I was on a Third Eye Blind streak today)

----------------------

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see (so clearly)

Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away

~Todd Agnew, "Grace Like Rain"

(And a Christian music streak too, haha)





Hm... no wonder I've been feeling drained by the end of the day lately. I use this music as my "escape" or stress release, in a way, but some of it is pretty heavy! Ah, well. Tomorrow I'll be sure to update with a stretch of happy Eastery songs. Fear not.
