“Or perhaps it’s really not as deep
As I’ve been led to think
Am I trying much too hard?
Of course! I’ve been too close to see
The answer’s right in front of me
Right in front of me
It’s simple really, very clear
Like music drifting in the air
Invisible, but everywhere
Just because I cannot see it
Doesn’t mean I can’t believe it”
- The Nightmare Before Christmas “Jack’s Obsession”
“Now i’m walking on downtown, in a town that is not my home,
and shopping for breakfast, to be eaten all alone
and dreaming of houses, none of them that I own —
but that’s not my provence — that’s not for what I am known.”
- Ted Leo and the Pharmacists “Parallel Or Together”
“I want a world like
My teacher told me it would be
I want a love like
My parents told me it would be
When I was born
I defined your times
But they were nothing
Nothing like mine”
- Portugal. The Man “Got it All (This Can’t Be Living Now)
“How hard can you push on me,
and how can I indifferently
without making this something more than I want to put up with.”
“I found a map to burried treasure
And even if we come home empty-handed
We’ll still have our stories, battle scars
Pirate ships and wounded hearts
Broken bones and all the best of friendships”
- The Ataris “So Long Astoria”
“You mean the world to me
But you’ll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we’re risking the way
That I see you”
- Mika “I See You”
“My world it just got bigger, and my perception aint the same”
- Westbound Train “Bigger Things in Mind”
