nickel creek, "doubting thomas"

What will be left when I've drawn my last breath
Besides the folks I've met and the folks who've known me
Will I discover a soul-saving love
Or just the dirt above and below me

I'm a doubting Thomas
I took a promise
But I do not feel safe
Oh me of little faith

Sometimes I pray for a slap in the face
Then I beg to be spared cause I'm a coward
If there's a master of death
I bet he's holding his breath
As I show the blind and tell the deaf about his power

I'm a doubting Thomas
I can't keep my promises
Cause I don't know what's safe
Oh me of little faith

Can I be used to help others find truth
When I'm scared I'll find proof that it's a lie
Can I be led down a trail dropping bread crumbs
That prove I'm not ready to die

Please give me time to decipher the signs
Please forgive me for time that I've wasted

I'm a doubting Thomas
I'll take your promise
Though I know nothin's safe
Oh me of little faith

ahahaha what the what

"god laughs and plays."

"Truly! Truly! By God! Be as sure of it as you are that God lives: at the least good deed one here in this world, the least bit of good will, the least good desire, all the saints in heaven and on earth rejoice, and together with the angels their joy is such that all the joy in this world can't be compared. But the joy of them all together amounts to a little as a bean when compared to the joy of God over good deeds. For truly, God laughs and plays."

-Meister Eckhart

 

temper trap, "down river"

Down River Lyrics
Finally
We have seen some things
Some awfully nice
Some dreadfully bad

But we will sing
Wash the blood, off our knees
Cause our love breaks
Through rough seas, our ship will sail it

I, don't, understand
How this world will work
Cause time will tell us nothing
I'll take a chance on something

(Fill them up
Fill them
This time take you)

Down river
Down river
Down river
Down..

(Walk these stairs
Put the pieces back together)

Go, don't stop
Go, don't stop
Go, don't stop
Go don't stop
Now go..

Finally
We have seen some things
But bells in your hallways
Don't move you in the right place

So we will sing
Cast our hopes out to sea
Though our hears break
Through violent winds, our ship will sail it

I, don't, understand
How this world will work
Cause time will tell us nothing
I'll take a chance on something

(Build them up
Build them
This time take you)

Down river
Down river
Down river
Down..

(Walk these stairs
Put, the pieces, back together)

Go, don't stop
Go, don't stop
Go, don't stop
Go don't stop
Now go..
Go, don't stop
Go, don't stop
Go, don't stop
Go don't stop
Now go..

Go, don't stop
Go, don't stop
Go, don't stop
Go don't stop
Now go..

i'm into something good

Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine
There's somethin' special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighborhood, whoa yeah
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

We only danced for a minute or two
But then she stuck close to me the whole night through
Can I be fallin' in love
She's everthing I've been dreamin' of
She's everthing I've been dreamin' of

I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

wouldn't it be nice!

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong


You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

The happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Oh Wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true (run, run, run)
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married (we could be married)
And then we'd be happy (then we'd be happy)

Wouldn't it be nice (ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Oh, wouldn't it be nice

good night my baby
sleep tight my baby

good night my baby
sleep tight my baby

good night my baby
sleep tight my baby

good night my baby
sleep tight my baby

mr john darnielle, "love love love"

King Saul fell on his sword
When it all went wrong
And Joseph's brother sold him down the river
For a song
And Sonny Liston rubbed some tiger balm in his glove
some things you do for money
and some you do for love love love

Raskalnikov felt sick
But he couldn't say why
When he saw his face reflected
In his victim's twinkling eye
Some things you do for money
And some you'll do for fun
But the things you do for love
Are gonna come back to you one by one

Love love is gonna lead you by the hand
Into a white and soundless place
Now we see this
As in a mirror dimly
Then we shall see each other
Face to face

And way out in Seattle
Young Kurt Cobain
Snuck out to the garden
Put a bullet in his brain
Snakes in the grass beneath our feet
Rain in the clouds above
Some moments last forever
And some flare out with love love love

katharine mcphee & zachary levi - "terrified"

You by the light
Is the greatest find
In a world full wrong you’re the thing that’s right
Finally made it through the lonely to the other side

You said it again my heart’s in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I’m at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark,
And I’m in love and I’m terrified
For the first time in the last time
In my only life

This could be good
It’s already better than last
And love is worse than knowing
You’re holding back
I could be all that you needed
If you let me try

You said it again my hearts in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I’m at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I’m in love and I’m terrified
For the first time in the last time
in my only

I only said it cause i mean it
I only mean cause it’s true
So don’t you doubt what i’ve been dreaming
Cause it fills me up and holds me close
Whenever i’m without you

You said it again my hearts in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I’m in love and I’m terrified
For the first time in the last time
In my only life

chuck vs the truth

Ellie [on truth serum to Chuck and Sarah]: When Chuck was little and anyone would ask what he wanted to be when he grew up, he'd say a big boy. How cute is that? He wanted to be a big boy!
Chuck: Ellie, you're killing me here.
Ellie: And I know he's a big boy, cause he's with a big girl. A big, big girl!
Captain Awesome: Sorry, man. I tried to stop her.
Chuck: Is she drunk?
Ellie: Chuck, I have a confession. When you were ten, I told you a burglar stole your piggy bank, it was me. Having a New Kids fanny pack was really important to me

in the highest of rooms
in the tallest of buildings
I sit uncomfortably
on an uncomfortable seat
the corner office is not my home
because the city and the people
all make me feel alone

and the corner office is not my home
and the corner office is not my home

yeah the corner office is not my home
yeah the corner office is not my home
yeah the corner office is not my home
yeah the corner office is not my home

oh. haha. okay no more pity party after this

Sensing is the mental process of absorbing and remembering specific information collected via the five senses.

Intuition is the mental process of noticing and recalling patterns of information or abstract relationships between ideas.

You are clearly an iNtuitive
You scored 97% in the direction of iNtuition, which means you are clearly an iNtuitive. People who are clearly iNtuitives are so focused on the "big picture" that they often overlook the details. Because of this, some people may see them as absent-minded. But don't be fooled: these iNtuitives quickly notice underlying patterns, hidden relationships and ironies that others miss. They enjoy considering the ways people or ideas are connected and are constantly thinking about the future, particularly how to change it.

ohhh. :) billy elliot (2000)

Brought your things?
I don't know if they're right, Miss.
If they're special to you, they're right.
What are they for?
To give us some ideas for a dance.
Come on, then. Let's see them.
What's that?
It's a letter.
I can see it's a letter.
It's me mom's.
She wrote it, for when I was 16 ...
...but I opened it.
Here.
"To my son, Billy."
"Dear Billy:
I know I must seem like a distant memory to you...
...which is probably a good thing."
"It will have been a long time...
...and I will have missed seeing you grow."
"Missed you crying, laughing...
...and shouting."
"I will have missed telling you off."
"But please know that I was always there."
"With you through everything."
"With you through everything."
"I always will be."
"And I am proud to have known you."
"And I'm proud that you were mine."
"Always be yourself."
"I'll love you forever."
"Mom."
She must have been a very special woman, your mother.
No, she was just me mom.

hee. "chuck vs the role models"

Honey, darling, would you mind telling me what you've done with our small cache of weapons?
I got rid of them, sweetheart.
You actually listened to me?!
.. I can't quite believe it myself.
What have you done with the guns you had at the hotel?
I left them in the car.
Why would you do...

Because you told me to!!

kiss kiss bang bang (2005)

Perry: Did your dad love you?
Harry: Only when I dressed up like a beer bottle, how about you?
Perry: Well, he used to beat me in Morse code, so it's possible, but he never said the words.

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--

Bridge

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
