Laura Izibor's Shine

Wake up one morning you realize

Your life is one big compromise

Stuck in the job you swore was only temporary

Feel like the world is passin' you by

Never done all the things you wanted to try

Stuck in one place, got a pain in your face

From all your stressin' out

You ask yourself there's got to be more than what I'm livin for

You ask yourself there's got to be somethin else

Somethin' more, more, more

CHORUS

Well let the sun shine on your face

And don't let your life go to waste

Now is the time, got to make up your mind

Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Feel like theres nothin', nowhere to go

You try and fight but you can't let go

Of all the pain, got so much to gain

Now is the time

You ask yourself there's got to be somethin else

Somethin' more, more, more

CHORUS

Let the sun shine on your face

And don't let your life go to waste

Now is the time, got to make up your mind

Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

You ask yourself there's got to be more than what I'm livin for

You ask yourself there's got to be somethin else

Somethin' more, more, more...

CHORUS

Well let the sun shine on your face

And don't let your life go to waste

Now is the time, got to make up your mind

Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Well let the sun shine on your face

And don't let your life go to waste

Now is the time, got to make up your mind

Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Let the sun shine on your face

And don't let your life go to waste

Now is the time, got to make up your mind

Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

David Gray's Shine

I can see it in your eyes

What I know in my heart is true

That our love it has faded

Like the summer run through

So we'll walk down the shoreline

One last time together

Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts

Like a feather

But who knows what's waiting

In the wings of time

Dry your eyes

We gotta go where we can shine

Don't be hiding in sorrow

Or clinging to the past

With your beauty so precious

And the season so fast

No matter how cold the horizon appear

Or how far the first night

When I held you near

You gotta rise from these ashes

Like a bird of flame

Take my hand

We've gotta go where we can shine

For all that we struggle

For all we pretend

It don't come down to nothing

Except love in the end

And ours is a road

That is strewn with goodbyes

But as it unfolds

As it all unwinds

Remember your soul is the one thing

You just can't compromise

Step out of the shadow

We're gonna go where we can shine

We're gonna go where we can shine

We're gonna go where we can shine

(and look, and look)

Through the windows of midnight

Moonfoam and silver

Stereophonics' It Means Nothing

Did we lose ourselves again?
Do we take in what's been said?
Do we take the time to be
All the things we said we'd be
And we bury heads in sand
But my future's in my hands
It means nothing
It means nothing

You can find yourself a God
Believe in which one you want
'Coz they love you all the same
They just go by different names
When we fly our flag today
Are you proud or just ashamed?
It means nothing
It means nothing

It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you

And the sun sets in the sky
You're the apple of my eye
If the bomb goes off again
In my brain or on the train
I hope that I'm with you
'Cos I wouldn't know what to do
It means nothing
It means nothing

It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you

Snow Patrol's You Could Be Happy

You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'til it's MADNESS in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of SILENCE, screaming, blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of YOU
And for the tiniest moment it's all not TRUE

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without ME there to hold you back, don't THINK, just do
More than anything I want to see you girl
Take a glorious bite out of the WHOLE world
