Stay -- Sugarland

I am completely addicted to Sugarland right now. Great duo. This song is amazing (except it took me a few times to understand what it was actually about).

I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
And I've been laying here praying
Praying she won't call
It's just another call from home
And you'll get it and be gone and I'll be crying
And I'll be begging you baby
Beg you not to leave
But I'll be left here waiting with my heart on my sleeve
Oh, for the next time we'll be here
Seems like a million years
And I think I'm dying
What do I have to do to make you see
She can't love you like me

Why don't you stay
I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
Don't I give you what you need?
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't you stay

You keep telling me
Baby, there will come a time
When you will leave her arms
And forever be in mine
But I don't think that's the truth
And I don't like being used
And I'm tired of waiting
It's too much pain to have to bear
To love a man you have to share

Why don't you stay
I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
Don't I give you what you need?
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't you stay

I can't take it any longer
But my will is getting stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I can't waste another minute
After all that I've put in it
I've given you my best
Why does she get the best of you
So the next time that you find
You wanna leave her bed for mine

Why don't you stay
I'm up off my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
You can't give me what I need

When she begs you not to go
There is one thing you should know
I don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't you stay

Change -- Taylor Swift

And it's a sad picture
The final blow hits ya
Somebody else gets what you wanted again
And you know it's all the same
Another time and place
Repeating history
And you're getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through

Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back
Will fall down
This revolution
The time will come for us to finally win
And we'll sing hallelujah
We'll sing hallelujah

So we've been outnumbered
Raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight
When the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now
Found things they never found
They might be bigger
But we're faster and never scared
You can walk away
Say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes
Says we can be this

Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back
Will fall down
This revolution
The time will come for us to finally win
And we'll sing hallelujah
We'll sing hallelujah

Tonight we stand
Get off our knees
Fight for what we've worked for all these years
And the battle was long
It's the fight of our lives
But we'll stand up
Champions tonight

It was the night things changed
Do you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back
Fell down
This revolution
Throw your hands up
Because we never gave in
And we'll sang hallelujah
We'll sang hallelujah
Hallelujah

I Was Here -- Lady Antebellum

The AT&T Team USA Soundtrack is good. I'll probably end up posting most of the songs. I've been listening to it the last few days as I got ready to take the MCAT again. I'm sure not an Olympic athlete, but the songs are uplifting and can give you that "I can do anything!" attitude, which was exactly what I needed for today.

You will notice me
I'll be leaving my mark like initials carved in an old oak tree
You wait and see
Maybe I'll write like Twain wrote
Maybe I'll paint like Van Gogh
Cure the common cold
I don't know
But I'm ready to start
Because I know in my heart

I wanna do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better
With the time I've been given
And I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
And leave nothing less than something that says
I was here

I will prove you wrong
If you think I'm all talk you're in for a shock
Because this stream is too strong
And before too long
Maybe I'll compose symphonies
Maybe I'll fight for world peace
Because I know it's my destiny
To leave more than a trace
Of myself in this place

I wanna do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better
With the time I've been given
And I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
And leave nothing less than something that says
I was here

And I know that I
I will do more than just pass through this life
I'll leave nothing less than something that says
I was here
I was here
I was here
Wanna do something that matters
Something that says I was here

Broken -- Lifehouse

The broken clock is a comfort that helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
And I am here still waiting
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpse
They're still looking for life

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you

I'm hanging out another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be okay

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
Haven't forgot my way home

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you

Courage Is -- The Strange Familiar

Take all my vicious words
And turn them into something good
Take all my preconceptions
And let the truth be understood

Take all my prized possessions
Leave only what i need
Take all my pieces of doubt
And let me be what's underneath

Courage is when you're afraid
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain
But you keep on living anyway

We all have excuses why
Living in fear something in us dies
Like a bird with broken wings
It's not how high he flies
But the song he sings

Courage is when you're afraid
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain
But you keep on living anyway
You keep on living anyway

It's not how many times you've been knocked down
It's how many times you get back up

Courage is when you've lost your way
But you find your strength anyway
Courage is when you're afraid
Courage is when it all seems grey
Courage is when you make a change
And you keep on living anyway
You keep on moving anyway
You keep on giving anyway
You keep on loving anyway

Never Alone -- Jim Brickman

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when it's time to go home
May you always have plenty
Your glass never empty
And know in your belly
You're never alone

May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
With every year passing they mean more than gold
May you win but stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly this isn't goodbye
My love will follow you
Stay with you
Baby you're never alone

Well I have to be honest
As much as I want it
I'm not gonna promise the cold winds won't blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly this isn't goodbye
My love will follow you
Stay with you
Baby you're never alone

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when it's time to go home
And when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly this isn't goodbye
My love will follow you
Stay with you
Baby you're never alone

My love will follow you
Stay with you
Baby you're never alone

Find Out Who Your Friends Are -- Tracy Lawrence

It's so great to have great friends.

Run your car off the side of the road

Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Or get yourself in a bind
Lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor
Need a couch
Need a bus fare

This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where the cream is gonna rise
This is what you really didn't know
This is where the truth don't lie

Ya find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas
Get there fast
Never stop to think "what's in it for me?"
Or "it's way to far"
They just show on up
With their big old heart
Ya find out who your friends are

Everybody wants to slap your back
Wants to shake your hand when you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way
And ya slide back down
Look up and see who's around then

This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times when
A lot of folks jump off

Ya find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas
Get there fast
Never stop to think "what's in it for me?"
Or "it's way to far"
They just show on up
With their big old heart
Ya find out who your friends are

When the water's high
When the weather's not so bad
When the well runs dry
Who's gonna be there

Ya find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas
Get there fast
Never stop to think "what's in it for me?"
Or "it's way to far"
They just show on up
With their big old heart
Ya find out who your friends are

Ya find out who your friends are

Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Man, I've been there
Or get yourself in a bind
Lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor
Need a couch
Need a bus fare
Man, I've been there

Think of Me -- Mark Schultz

Packing my bags this morning
Was the hardest thing to do
But packing my bags was so easy
Compared to standing outside your door right now
To say goodbye to you

(Think of me)
I know you've never seen me cry
(Think of me)
But it's so hard to say goodbye
(Think of me)
What can I say to show you
I'll never give up on you
I will be waiting for you

I will be there when you call
I will see you through it all
And even in your darkest hour
I pray that the Lord we've found
Will set you on solid ground

I know that it feels like leaving
Is a part of letting go
But I'm praying with hope and believing
That I'll see you once again down this road
I hope that it wont be long

(Think of me)
I'll always want you as a friend
(Think of me)
I know he'll bring you back again
(Think of me)
What can I say to show you
I'll never give up on you
I will be waiting for you

I will be there when you call
I will see you through it all
And even in your darkest hour
I pray that the Lord we've found
Will set you on solid ground

(Think of me)
I know you've never seen me cry
(Think of me)
But it's so hard to say goodbye
(Think of me)
What can I say to show you
I'll never give up on you
I will be waiting for you

I will be there when you call
I will see you through it all
And even in your darkest hour
I pray that the Lord we've found

I will be there when you call
I will see you through it all
And even in your darkest hour
I pray that the Lord we've found
Will set you on solid ground

When I Get Where I'm Going -- Brad Paisley

When I get where I'm going

On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly
I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

Yeah, when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah, when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my granddaddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I've missed him
Every minute since he left
And then I'll hug his neck

Yeah, when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah, when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

There's so much pain
And so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
And so much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my Maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of His amazing grace

Yeah, when I get where I'm going
(When I get where I'm going)
There'll be only happy tears
(Hallelujah)
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah, when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here
