]]> ~BesidesThat Lets play a game! :D http://BesidesThat.deviantart.com/journal/16913620/ http://BesidesThat.deviantart.com/journal/16913620/ Sat, 16 Feb 2008 12:05:02 PST Snatched this one from :icongetyourgrip:'s journal :D
----------------------------------------------------------

Rules: Here's how we play.
Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold out the songs when someone guesses the song title correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

1. I'm so tired of being here, Suppressed by all my childish fears.


2. Seems like you're fading, Want to go it alone. Hear me out, one more song.


3. Hey girl, you know you drive me crazy. One look puts the rhythm in my head.


4. So this is love, or so you tell me as you're walkin out the door.


5. Now I know that I can’t make you stay.. But where’s your heart? But where’s your heart?


6. I close both locks below the window. I close both blinds and turn away.


7. And do you ever feel like you're alone? And do you ever wish you'd be unknown?


8. I always needed time on my own. I never thought I'd need you there when I cried


9. Prison gates won’t open up for me. On these hands and knees I’m crawlin’, oh, I reach for you.


10. I'm tired of being what you want me to be. Feeling so faithless lost under the surface.


11. I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top.


12. I was blown away, what could I say? It all seemed to make sense.


13. You make me crazy, I can't lie. You make me wish I was somewhere else sometimes.


14. Oh Santa, I've been waiting on you.


15. Time it tells living in my home town, Wedding bells they begin easy.


16. It's getting late. I'm making my way over to my favourite place.


17. It starts with one thing, I don’t know why. It doesn’t even matter how hard you try


18. Have you ever heard a love song, that set your spirit free?


19.From underneath the trees, we watch the sky. Confusing stars for satellites.


20. Twenty four oceans. Twenty four skies. Twenty four failures and Twenty four tries.


21. I've been awake for a while now. You've got me feeling like a child now.


22. I’m holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground.


23. No matter what you say about love, I keep coming back for more.


24. Before this world starts up again, It's me and night.


25. Now that it's all said and done, I can't believe you were the one to build me up and tear me down, like an old abandoned house.


---------------------------------------
None of mine are too hard xD I listen to wutever's popular :P
