Little Death

by Elizabeth Stokes

When you're near
My heart starts beating faster
The world starts moving slower
And I just freeze

And it's cold, the steam escapes
Through my lips and dissipates
And you breathe it in
We all breathe it in

Your smile, it makes me weak
And the red spreads to my cheeks
You make me feel three glasses in
And you say my name

My legs support a little less
My tongue becomes a little mess
My lips are longing to confess
My lungs, they catch on every breath
My heart beats harder at the cage inside my chest

And I die, I die a little death
I die, I die a little death

Come and go
A lightning bolt in daytime
That burrs into my eyeline
You're all I see

There's no sign of the sun
So the moon moves out in front
She wants to be aligned
We all want to be aligned

And your voice, it makes me weak
I'm wasted when you speak
You hit me hard as red wine
And you say my name

My balance takes a little rest
My conscience hung under duress
My twitching fingers do their best
To keep their wandering selves in check

My mind it finds a new address
This life is cursed, you're heaven-blessed
This human god, this honoured guest
Filling up the emptiness

My legs support a little less
My tongue becomes a little mess
My lips are longing to confess
But I'll never tell, you'll never guess

Steal Your Heart Away

by Lindsey Buckingham

All alone we go
All day after day
All alone we suffer
Oh, to steal your heart away

It's the same old thing
In the same old way
All alone we suffer
Oh, to steal your heart away

And the light was creeping
Down, down, down
While we were sleeping
Suddenly we hit the ground

So come on, let's go
Let's run away
If that's all there is
Oh, to steal your heart away

This Guy's in Love with You

by Hal David

You see this guy
This guy's in love with you
Yes, I'm in love
Who looks at you the way I do?
When you smile, I can tell
We know each other very well

How can I show you
I'm glad I got to know you?

'Cause I've heard some talk
They say you think I'm fine
This guy's in love
And what I'd do to make you mine
Tell me now, is it so?
Don't let me be the last to know

My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking

'Cause I need your love
I want your love
Say you're in love with this guy
If not I'll just die

Inside of Love

by Matthew Caws

Watching terrible TV, it kills all thought
Getting spacier than an astronaut
Making out with people I hardly know or like
I can't believe what I do late at night

I want to know what it's like
On the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above

Only when we get to see the aerial view
Will the patterns show: we'll know what to do
I know the last page so well, but I can't read the first
So I just don't start; it's getting worse

I want to know what it's like
On the inside of love
I can't find my way in
I try again and again

I'm on the outside of love
Always under or above
Must be a different view
To be a me with a you

I want to know what it's like
On the inside of love
Of course I'll be alright
I just had a bad night
