"get it" Lyrics

Okay, so recently I've been a lot more in-tune with my brooding-but-inspired-bi-polar-creative-artist side, which consequently means being more in-tune with things like colors, asymmetry, and basic human habits. In effect, more inspired with good story-telling of the human condition.

Ah ha! Lyrics. Here are some of the songs (in no order) that have showed up frequently on my "Now Playing" list for the past few weeks -- and a spoonful of the writing from each song that just ... "get it," on some level.

1. Over the Rhine
   Born
   I was born to laugh
   I learned to laugh through my tears
   I was born to love
   I'm gonna learn to love without fear

1. KT Tunstall
   Through the Dark
   As I walk away
   I look over my shoulder
   To see what I'm leaving behind
   Pieces of puzzles
   And wishes on eyelashes fail
   Oh, how do I show
   All the love inside my heart?
   For this is all new
   And I'm feeling my way through the dark

1. Nickel Creek
   Sabra Girl
   rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand
   reading between them to misunderstand
   I made the mistake you said not to make...

1. KT Tunstall
   False Alarm
   I'm trying to put this thing to bed
   I've drugged it in its sleep
   There isn't many memories
   I'm comfortable to keep
   This ball keeps rolling on
   It's heading for the streets

1. Over the Rhine
   BPD
   You're makin' a mess
   Somethin' you can't hide
   A slow suicide
   Just one bite at a time
   I should love you less
   But I can't I guess
   Only God can save us now

1. Gomez
   See the World
   Empty handed, surrounded by a senseless scene
   With nothing of significance
   Besides a shadow of a dream
   You sound like an old joke
   You're worn out, a bit broke
   An' askin me time and time again
   But the answer's still the same
   See the world
   Find an old fashioned girl
   And when all's been said and done
   It's the things that are given, not won
   Are the things that you earned

1. Regina Spektor
   Fidelity
   I hear in my mind
   All of these voices
   I hear in my mind
   All these words
   I hear in my mind
   All of this music
   And it breaks my heart

1. The Weepies
   World Spins Madly On
   I let the day go by
   I always say goodbye
   I watch the stars from my window sill
   The whole world is moving
   and I'm standing still

1. Holly Brook
   Saturdays
   As I sink one more drink
   I am running out of ink
   Feeling void paranoid
   about every little thing
   And I wonder if I try
   to get up and say goodbye
   if I'll have the strength to leave
   Cuz I don't have much time anymore

1. Snow Patrol
   Chasing Cars
   Let's waste time
   Chasing cars
   Around our heads
   I need your grace
   To remind me
   To find my own
