I spent a lot of the year in tears and in transit, and it’s all because of these little pieces of heaven.  

 

Up Out My Face - Mariah Carey feat. Nicki Minaj

even the Harvard University Graduating Class of 2010 could put us back together again.


Boyfriend - Best Coast

the other girl is not like me, she’s prettier and skinnier, she has a college degree, I dropped out when I was 17, if I could only get her out of the picture, then he would know how much I want him.


Go Outside - Cults

I really wanna go out / I really wanna go out and stop and see your day / you really wanna hole up / you really wanna stay inside and sleep the light away / well I know what’s good / exactly cause I have been there before / yeah I know what’s good / exactly those things night cannot behold


Show Me Your Stuff - Diamond Rings

save your anesthetic for the boy next door / nothing in your needle knocks me out no more.

Over - Drake

I know way too many people here right now / that I didn’t know last year / who the fuck are y’all?

Weights and Measures - Dry The River 

you’ve made your decision / now get up and leave / the familiar swing of the woodcutter’s swing to the tree / I’ll fall in the forest / to elbows and knees / and it won’t make a sound since there’s no one around here to see

Under The Sheets - Ellie Goulding

you left a handprint on the door / like all the boys before

Dog Days - Florence and the Machine

and I never wanted anything from you / except everything and what was left after that too / happiness hit her like a bullet in the head / struck from a great height from someone who should have known better than that

Tightrope - Janelle Monae

whether you’re high or low / whether you’re high or low / you got to tip on the tightrope

Big Wave - Jenny and Johnny

and the feeling’s a lie / because the snake, it bit me/ when I wasn’t awake / and the scripts, they lie / I have been poisoned / from all the things I take

Kiss Me Again - Jessica Lea Mayfield

you got me where you want me / but, I ain’t all there / my head is gone, my brain is fried / I’m standing right here.

Churlish May - Johnny Flynn

didn’t take long to sing our love/ was a harvest feast, was a hand to glove / when winter came you couldn’t stand to sit / you just the same never burnt but lit / with a world at war and my thoughts on you / I didn’t care to fall, there wasn’t much to do / and the worst and best of all we knew / stayed out to rust in the morning dew

Come Back - Jon-Rae and the River

if you go, I’ll come back / every night, I’ll come back / if you leave, come back / to my arms

Who Will Survive in America - Kanye West

What does Webster say about soul?

Mansion Song - Kate Nash

that girl should have been a mansion

Love Lust - King Charles

never let a woman go even when you know / your soul / your love/ your blood/ treasure every beating heart that sets your soul on fire / love will set your soul on fire.

Tick of Time - The Kooks

it’s far too early in the morning / to be trying to call you / and far too early in the daytime / to be thinking about that / but I am

He’s Not a Boy - The Like

when he says you’re beautiful / it’s not a line / but in the morning you might find / that he might have changed his mind/ he got lonely for a love / for just one night

Cards and Quarters - Local Natives

means to ends

Hooked - Maylee Todd

Hey, hey fellas! / What? / You gotta treat a lady right, right? / Right!

White Blank Page - Mumford & Sons

you desired my attention / but denied my affections / my affections / but tell me now, where was my fault / in loving you with my whole heart?

Love Is All - The Tallest Man on Earth

and I’ll throw you in the current that I stand upon so still / love is all, from what I’ve heard, but my heart’s learned to kill / oh, mine has learned to kill / oh, I said I could rise / from the harness of our goals / here come the tears / but like always, I let them go / just let them go

Hustle - Tunng

now it’s your turn / you will tie me to the tree

Robots - Dan Mangan

they want to be loved by you
