885. Your life your call - Junip



She's over you
Boy, you know it's true
But you can't stay here
You had it coming for years

Pull yourself together
Draw the line
Pull yourself together
Can't stand to see you cry

It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall
It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall

It's over now
You've been taking your time
But you can't stay here
Boy, dry up your tears

Pull yourself together
Draw the line

It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall
It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall

Pull yourself together
Draw the line
Pull yourself together
Can't stand to see you cry

No point in looking back
Over your shoulder
Leave your worries behind
For a while
You'll forget everything
As you get older

It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall
It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall

Stand up, stand up
Stand up or enjoy your fall
It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall

Pull yourself together
Draw the line
Pull yourself together
Can't stand to see you cry

884. Howl - Junip





f you weren't told about any divinity
if someone showed you our fallibilities
if you weren't told about the trinity
would you still know what in the world created all this

wouldn't you
like to figure out
what's pulling the strings

did you know about varying degrees of free will
compatible with senseless building blocks
did you know of adaptive or emergent properties
how a lump of grey is making you talk

now wouldn't you
like to figure out
what's making you howl

ill equipped to deal with infinities
never getting past the anthropic principles
ill equipped to deal with probabilities
can't help assigning intentions to all kinds of things

wouldn't you
like to figure out
what's pulling your strings

now we could still talk about moral responsibility
we could still talk about our common human goals
what leads to happiness what leads to suffering
what leads to exuberance and flourishing of the soul

but it would help
to figure out

883. Rope & Summit - Junip



we've got our rope and summit
got our rope and summit
but we need to wake up
baby wake up

unmasking your fears
one by one see them disappear
into the fog down below
slipping is fine
as long as you don't fall

still in the quiet morning breeze
swaying gently in unsuspecting dreams
clues of a gathering storm
it's time to wake up
time to move on

881. Real love - The Beatles





All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dreams
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for love

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love

Don't need to be afraid
No need to be afraid

It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real

Thought I'd been in love before
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real

It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real

It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real

It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real

880. The weight of lies - The Avett Brothers



Disappear from your hometown
Go and find the people that you know
Show them all your good parts
Leave town when bad ones start to show
Go and wed a woman
A pretty girl that you've never met
Make sure she knows you love her well
But don't make any other promises

The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
Cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
So when you run make sure you run
To something and not away from
Cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere

I once heard the worse thing
A man could do is draw a hungry crowd
Tell everyone his name, pride, and confidence
But leaving out his doubt
I'm not sure I bought those words
When I was young I knew most everything
These words have never meant as much to anyone
As they now mean to me

The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
Cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
So when you run make sure you run
To something and not away from
Cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down

879. Everybody's changing - Keane



You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can

You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same

You're gone from here
Soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
'cos everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same
