Band-Aids

1. Red Right Ankle - The Decemberists
This is the story of the boys who loved you
Who love you now and loved you then
And some were sweet, some were cold and snuffed you
And some just laid around in bed.

Some had crumbled you straight to your knees
Did it cruel, did it tenderly
Some had crawled their way into your heart
To rend your ventricles apart
This is the story of the boys who loved you

2. Someday You Will Be Loved - Death Cab for Cutie
You may feel alone when you're falling asleep
And every time tears roll down your cheeks
But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet
Someday you will be loved

You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved

3. Nothing Better - The Postal Service
Don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future
Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

4. Rain - Patty Griffin
Its hard to know when to give up the fight
Some things you want will just never be right
Its never rained like it has to night before
Now I don't wanna beg you, baby
For something maybe you could never give
I'm not looking for the rest of your life
I just want another chance to live

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm still alive underneath this shroud
Rain

5. Cath - Death Cab for Cutie
But you said your vows
And you closed the door
On so many men
Who would have loved you more

And soon everybody will ask
What became of you
'Cause your heart was dying fast
And you didn't know what to do

6. When it Don't Come Easy - Patty Griffin
So many things that I had before
That don't matter to me now
Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost
And the love I've never found

7. Come to Jesus - Mindy Smith
Worry not my daughters,
Worry not my sons
Child, when life don't seem worth livin'
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms

8. Wedding Day - Rosie Thomas
so much for love
I guess I've been wrong
but it's all right 'cause I'm moving on
I'm gonna drive over hills
over mountains and canyons
and boys that keep bringing me down
I'm gonna drive under skyline and sunshine
drink good wine in vineyards
and get asked to dinner
I'm gonna be carefree and let nothing pass me by
never ever again

9. Like Everyone She Knows - James Taylor
(My poppa sent me this one, so it's special)

Like everyone she knows
She's holding out for truelove
Waiting on an answer
Ready for a change
And everywhere she goes
She's just a little bit on the lookout
A day might mean tomorrow
Questions still remain
It's not that she's so sad
She always was a happy soul
But lately she gets to wonder to herself
What's the good of going on anymore

I see her in her room
Sitting at the window
Wondering if she's pretty
Feeling just a little small tonight
She thinks of going home
Giving up on the city
Maybe moving back down to Mobile
It's not that far to fall
I know she won't see me
But I might just say anyhow
If I could be right there right now
As I myself was told

Hold tight to your heart's desire
Never ever let it go
Let nobody fool you into giving it up too soon
Tend your own fire
Lay low and be strong
Wait awhile, Wait it out
Wait it on out
Wait it out, It'll come along

10. Single Ladies - Beyoncé
'Cause, if you like it then you should have put a ring on it
