Lyrically Speaking - 1/8/08

[littlebeast13]

It's Tuesday Wordplay, so each of the following songs contains a word in common in their titles.

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....



1. I try to shut eyes, but I can't get here outta my sight.
I know I'm gonna know her, but I gotta get over my fright.

2. Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms why don't you stay

3. Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time

4. When I came home last night
You wouldn't make love to me
You went fast to sleep
You wouldn't even talk to me

5. You know the future's lookin' brighter
Every mornin' when I get up
Don't be thinkin' 'bout what's not enough, now baby
Just be thinkin' 'bout what we got

6. I’m just sippin on chamomile
Watching boys and girls and their sex appeal
With a stranger in the face who says he knows my mom
And went to my high school

7. My loneliness
Is killing me (and I)
I must confess
I still believe (still believe)
When I'm not with you I lose my mind

8. I've said goodbye so many times
the situation ain't all that new
Optimism's my best defense
I'll get through without you

9. Whose hairstyles are out of this world?
Where love is straight or I find up it's curled?

10. I ain't talkin 'bout playboy
Cuz silicone parts were made for toys

11. I've never had a hand for solitaire
It's so unfair
That I should have my chance and lose
I feel like I've been used

12. I got to do it to her just right
she got to be in trouble all night
when she say do it to it do it to it do it to it yeah uh

The FOW version is on their double cd of b-sides and rarities, "Out of State Plates".

Yes, I've heard Travis' version..also good...very similar to FOW's.
