Since then it’s been a book you read in reverse, so you understand less as the pages turn. Or a movie so crass and awkwardly cast, that even I could be the star.

The Shins: Pink Bullets

Another head aches, another heart breaks, I’m so much older than I can take. And my affection, well it comes and goes; I need direction to perfection.

The Killers: All These Things That I’ve Done

So when I’m lost in a crowd, I hope that you’ll pick me out. Oh, how I long to be found.

Bright Eyes: Nothing Gets Crossed Out

I feed on the fear that’s behind your eyes, and I need you to need me; it’s no surprise.

Next to Normal Soundtrack (Aaron Tveit): I’m Alive

But I might be perfect. I’ll make myself perfect, perfect for you. You square the corners, I straighten the curves.

Next to Normal Soundtrack (Adam Chanler-Berat and Jennifer Damiano): Perfect for You

This is how it works: You’re young until you’re not. You love until you don’t. You try until you can’t. You laugh until you cry, you cry until you laugh, and everyone must breathe until their dying breath.

Regina Spektor: On the Radio

I’ve been thinking, maybe I’ve been partly cloudy, maybe I’m the chance of rain. And maybe I’m overcast, and maybe all my luck’s washed down the drain.

Switchfoot: Stars

Instincts are misleading; you shouldn’t think what you’re feeling.

Death Cab For Cutie: Lightness

You can’t even begin to know how many times I’ve told myself “I told you so.” And you can’t even begin to believe, there’s so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me.

Death Cab For Cutie: I Was Once A Loyal Lover

We fell back to earth like gravity’s bitches. Physics makes us all its bitches.

of Montreal: Gronlandic Edit

You’re the echoes of my everything; you’re the emptiness the whole world sings at night. You’re the laziness of afternoon, you’re the reason why I burst and why I bloom.

Motion City Soundtrack: Hold Me Down

I’d rather be remembered as a smiling face; not this fucking wreck that’s taken its place.

Bright Eyes: No Lies, Just Love

You know that it could be, and you know that it should, and you know that you feel it too.

Panic At The Disco: Nine In The Afternoon

Everyone’s a letdown; it just depends on how far down they can go.

Cute Is What We Aim For: Newport Living

If you want to kill yourself, remember that I love you.

Kimya Dawson: Loose Lips
