Bright Eyes - February 15th

all eyes on the calendar,
another year i claim of total indifference.
to here the days pile up,
with decisions to be made,
i'm sure all of them were wrong.
into this song, i send myself,
and with these drinks i plan to collapse and forget
this wasted year...
these wasted years.
devoted friends, they disappear.
i'm sorry about the phone call and needing you,
some decisions you don't make.
i guess it's like breathing, and not wanting to,
there are some things that you can't fake.
i guess that it is typical,
to cling to memories you'll never get back again.
and to sort through old photographs of a summer long ago,
or a friend that you used to know.
and there, below his frozen face,
you wrote the name and that ancient date.
and you can't believe he is really gone,
when all that's left is a fucking song.
i'm sorry about the phone call and waking you,
i know that its late.
but thank you for talking because i needed to,
some things just can't wait, yeah some things just can't wait

Matchbox 20 - Last Beautiful Girl

This will all fall down like everything else that was
This too shall pass and all of the words we said
We can't take back
Now every fool in town would've left by now
I can't replace all the wasted days
The memory of your face - can't help thinkin'
Maybe if we ever coulda kept it all together
Where would we be
A thousand lost forevers
And the promises you never were giving me
Here's what I'm thinking
chorus
It won't be the first - heart that you break
It won't be the last - beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked - won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world
Tell me one more time
How you're sorry about the way
This all went down - you needed to find your space
You needed to still be friends
Needed me to
Call you if I ever couldn't keep it all together
you'd comfort me
Tell me but forever
And the promises I never should have believed in
Here's what I'm thinking
chorus
It won't be the first - heart that you break
It won't be the last - beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked - won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world
It's over now - And I've gone without
Cuz you're everybody else's girl
It seems to me - you'll always be
Everyone else's girl
This will all fall down
Like everything in the world
This too must end
And everything else that was
We can't take back
