Category: Theme Songs

Out of the blue, I get a talk from the guy that I have been involved with for the last 14 months, after we spend most of that time planning our future together, and four months before he moves out here, he suddenly determines that he may not be able to handle all that comes with moving out here and he isn’t sure he can be with such a strong and independent person.  Blah!  Here is the theme song of the day.

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I’d be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing’s true and nothing’s right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can’t change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I’ll believe
Lie to me
But please don’t leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
It’s try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I’ve shown you that I just don’t care
When I’m throwing punches in the air
When I’m broken down and I can’t stand
Will you be strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I’ll believe
Lie to me
But please don’t leave

Many tears shed and still no answers and so confused.  This song seems to be the theme song for right now…

Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It’s nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line

[Chorus:]
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something

I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time

Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

[Chorus x2]

Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

[Chorus x3]

I have liked this song for a few years, but now it is so relevant!  I sang it last week at Karaoke in Helen at the Hayloft.

I don’t want to get up baby, let’s turn off the phone
I don’t want to go to work today or even put my makeup on
I’ve got better things to do than my todo list anyway
Hide under the covers and waste away the day
Let’s just lay here and be lazy, baby drive me crazy
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo is love you
I got my whole life to change the world and climb the ladders
Looking at you looking at me is the only thing that matters
Come a little closer baby, we can talk without the words
Hang a sign on the door, please do not disturb
Let’s just lay here and be lazy, baby drive me crazy

All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo is love you
Give me a kiss, from that Elvis lip,
You don’t want to miss this,
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo is love you wo woo
All I really want to do is,
All I really want to do is,
All I really want to do is love you, and love you, and love you
Come a little closer baby, we can talk without the words
Hang a sign on the door, please do not, please do not, please do not, please do not disturb
When I lay down in the evening all I really want to do,
When I wake up, when I wake up in the morning baby, all I really want to do is…wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo

Missing the love shack in Georgia…

If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the, Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I’m headin’ down the Atlanta highway, lookin’ for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it’s as big as a whale and we’re headin’ on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So come on and bring your jukebox money
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that’s where it’s at, Oh love baby, that’s where it’s at
Sign says, Woo, stay away fools, ’cause love rules at the Love Shack!
Well it’s set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby! Love Shack, that’s where it’s at!
Huggin’ and a kissin’, dancin’ and a lovin’, wearin’ next to nothing
Cause it’s hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies! The whole shack shimmies when everybody’s
Movin’ around and around and around!
Everybody’s movin’, everybody’s groovin’ baby!
Folks linin’ up outside just to get down
Everybody’s movin’, everybody’s groovin’ baby
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!
Hop in my Chrysler, it’s as big as a whale and it’s about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So come on up and bring your jukebox money.
Bang bang bang on the door baby! Knock a little louder baby!
Bang bang bang on the door baby! I can’t hear you
Your what? Tin roof, rusted!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that’s where it’s at
Huggin’ and a kissin’, dancin’ and a lovin’ at the love shack

There are moments, these days, when I still cling to some kind of something

You say that we’ve got nothing in common
No common ground to start from and we’re falling apart
You’ll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us still I know you just don’t care

And I said, “What about breakfast at Tiffany’s”
She said, “I think I remember the film”
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it
And I said, “Well, that’s the one thing we’ve got”

I see you, the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through me I guess I was wrong
So what now it’s plain to see we’re over
And I hate when things are over when so much is left undone

And I said, “What about breakfast at Tiffany’s”
She said, “I think I remember the film”
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it
And I said, “Well, that’s the one thing we’ve got”

You say that we’ve got nothing in common
No common ground to start from and we’re falling apart
You’ll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us still I know you just don’t care

And I said, “What about breakfast at Tiffany’s”
She said, “I think I remember the film”
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it
And I said, “Well, that’s the one thing we’ve got”

And I said, “What about breakfast at Tiffany’s”
She said, “I think I remember the film”
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it
And I said, “Well, that’s the one thing we’ve got”

And I said, “What about breakfast at Tiffany’s”
She said, “I think I remember the film”
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it
And I said, “Well, that’s the one thing we’ve got”

This seems very fitting…..

Do you know what’s worth fighting for
When it’s not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You’re in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I

When you’re at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn’t pass
Nothing’s ever built to last
You’re in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it’s time to live and let die
And you can’t get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You’re in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I

I can’t even explain how strongly this song hits me right now

You must be broken by a thousand ways of wasted time
Get to the point then off the hundred lines awake
No need to change my mind, that clean a shade of thinking time
But i seem to think more than i act upon those things
And do you ever wonder
How hard you hit you broke my thunder
And do you ever wonder
A scar was sewn a drop of blood was saved for making wine
Still no repent on how you crumble when i shake
A mental jaw was used to pry me from this wrecking barn
But the sad details or the promises that i make
And do you ever wonder
How hard you hit you broke my thunder
And do you ever wonder
I’m cramped and crawling from under the dead and i
I’m sick of living without you in bed and i
I’ve made mistakes that i wrote, that i read but now i
Just can’t seem to be pre-occupied
But the heart was tossed with a black laced chain
And with these hands that i write with
and the ode that i live by you know i will never be with you
And do you ever wonder
How hard you hit you broke my thunder
And do you ever wonder
Cus God made this night for me
A silly devil in me talking
Romantic company for walking
Over and out
Over and out
But this year’s the year i write to be
That silly devil in me talking
Romantic company for walking
Over and out
Over and out
And do you ever wonder
How hard you hit you broke my thunder
And do you ever wonder
How hard you hit you broke my…
You broke my…
You broke my…
You broke my thunder

Well here it is. Six months ago I was celebrating the first year anniversary with the man I thought I might spend the rest of my life with and today I am realizing that it just will not work. It is quite a shame. I heard this song on the radio today and it just seemed fitting.

I’ve practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I’ve got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Cause I’m not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn’t have to give a reason why

It’s no surprise I won’t be here tomorrow
I can’t believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we’ll find this was no surprise

It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn’t know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn’t have to give a reason why

It’s no surprise I won’t be here tomorrow
I can’t believe that I stayed till today
There’s nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There’s nothing here in this soul left to say
Don’t be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God know we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we’ll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that’s left your eyes
That’s why this comes as no, as no surprise

If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it’s better than where we are now
But after going through this, it’s easier to see the reason why

It’s no surprise I won’t be here tomorrow
I can’t believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we’ll find this was no surprise

The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
Both wrong and right, our memories
The whispering before we sleep, just one more thing that you can’t keep
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that’s left your eyes
But I know in time we’ll find this was no surprise

I have been playing this song a lot lately and it’s fun to sing.  Therefore, I am making it the theme song of the month.

It’s the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything’s a mess
There’s a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk but I’ll just drive
It’s colder than it looks outside

It’s like a dream you try to remember
But it’s gone
Then you try to scream
But it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world
Beyond your front door
Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just to try to figure out what all this is for

It’s the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon

Like a dream you try to remember
But it’s gone
Then you try to scream
But it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world
Beyond your front door
Take your time is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just to try to figure out what all this is for

Pinch me, pinch me, cause I’m still asleep
Please God tell me that I’m still asleep

On an evening such as this
It’s hard to tell if I exist
If I pack the car and leave this town
You’ll notice that I’m not around
I could hide out under there
I just made you say “underwear”
I could leave but I’ll just stay
All my stuff’s here anyway

Like a dream you try to remember
But it’s gone
Then you try to scream
But it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world
Beyond your front door
Take your time is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just to try to figure out what all this is for

Pinch me
Try to figure out what all this is for
Pinch me
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Pinch me
Try to figure out what all this is for
