"Pepper" lyrics
"Pepper"
Take a picture to remember this by
You'll never hold all the details in your mind
Fillin' your head with superfluous facts
Pushin' out what you're never gettin' back
And all that's left is a version of the truth
A recollection that is often misconstrued
Sgt. Pepper with the faces of friends
But the names all elude you in the end
Kiss me just this one last time
Tell me that you once were mine
Take a picture to remember me by
To show everybody who you left behind
The near-miss that almost shot you out of the blue
I was a city you were only passin' through
And all that's left is a version of events
Favorably framed for the sake of self-defense
We barely notice as the pages disappear
Floating off into another year
Kiss me just this one last time
Tell me that you once were mine
Kiss me just this one last time
Show me that your love was mine
Kiss me just this one last time
Tell me that you once were mine
Kiss me just this one last time
Show me that your love was mine
Thanks to roisie for adding these lyrics.

Band Of Horses - "Warning Signs" Small talk with a registered nurse
Not to cry in front of people at work
Well that's hard, hard, hard, at times you know

Bad Books - "Forest Whitaker" The second half, right?
We started a fire;
That was never supposed to burn out
You started a band;
That was cool for awhile but it turned pretty bland
I started a fight;

Passion Pit - "Lifted Up (1985)" Tell me what does it take to make good now
How many years do you wait?
Oh, and now all of the clouds are combining
The flickering light's just a flame
Oh but yeah, I'm so tired
I've been away for so...
