The Official C/A Song Lyrics Thread (RESURRECTION!!)

[Shadow4Corangela]

How bout we take all the songs on this thread and incorperate it into different C/A videos? Eh?

Just a suggestion. We don't have to do this.

*sniff* Watched YW again and this old Dolly Parton song made me think of what Angel's reaction should have been.

The Grass Is Blue
by Dolly Parton


I've had to think up a way to survive
Since you said it's over
Told me good-bye
I just can't make it one day without you
Unless i pretend that the opposite's true
Rivers flow backwards
Valleys are high
Mountains are level
Truth is a lie
I'm perfectly fine
And i don't miss you
The sky is green
And the grass is blue

How much can a heart and a troubled mind take
Where is that fine line before it all breaks
Can one end their sorrow
Just cross over it
And into that realm of insanitive bliss

There's snow in the tropics
There's ice on the sun
It's hot in the arctic
And crying is fun
And i'm happy now
And i'm glad we're through
And the sky is green
And the grass is blue

And the rivers flow backwards
And my tears are dry
Swans hate the water
And eagles can't fly
But i'm alright now
Now that i'm over you
And the sky is green
And the grass is blue
And i don't love you
And the grass is blue

[Elisha]

I'm such a Maroon 5 whore. Just listend to "She Will Be Loved" and it reminded me of Cordy in the early years.


Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

And She will be loved
And She will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

She will be loved (repeated)

Please don't try so hard to say good bye.

[Shadow4Corangela]

I never really paid attention to this song much less liked it all that much, until my sister made me sit down and listen to the words carefully. As soon as I heard it the words made me think of C/A. It's a sad but cute song.

My sis itself pointed out that the lyrics have a connection to C/A and she isn't even a C/A fan! But then again she never really watched ATS and BTVS.

The song could go either way, Cordy telling it to Angel, or Angel to Cordy. I think it's a Cordy POV. The songs called The Reason and it's by Hoobastank.

Hoobastank ~ The Reason

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new

And the reason is You [x4]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

[Angelia]

The Cure
To Wish Impossible Things

Remember how it used to be
When the sun would fill the sky
Remember how we used to feel
Those days would never end
Those days would never end

Remember how it used to be
When the stars would fill the sky
Remember how we used to dream
Those nights would never end
Those nights would never end

It was the sweetness of your skin
It was the hope of all we might have been
That fills me with the hope to wish
Impossible things
To wish impossible things

But now the sun shines cold
And all the sky is grey
The stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
And all I wish
Is gone away
All I wish
Is gone away

All I wish
Is gone away

Don't know if anyone has posted this one yet.

Like I Am--Rascal Flatts

Lying here with you
I watch you while you sleep
The dawn is closing in
With every breath you breathe

I can feel the change
The change you've made in me
But will I ever see
All the things you see in me

When you say that I'm one of a kind
Baby, I don't see it but you believe
That I'm so strong and true, I promise you
I'll try to be that kind of man
Because you love me like I am

When it comes to love
I may not know the rules
But there's one thing I know
My heart belongs to you, just you

When you say that I'm one of a kind
Baby, I don't see it but you believe
That I'm so strong and true, I promise you
I'll try to be that kind of man
Because you love me like I am

You show me you love me
With a fire that burns deep inside

When you say that I'm one of a kind
Baby, I don't see it but you believe
That I'm so strong and true, I promise you
I'll try to be that kind of man
Because you love me like I am

When you say that I'm one of a kind
Baby, I don't see it but you believe
That I'm so strong and true, I promise you
I'll try to be that kind of man
Because you love me like I am

-- I am
I'll never understand
I don't think I'll ever understand
Why you love me
Why you love me just like I am

[landrews1]

I've been thinking of this song since "You're Welcome" and trying to put scenes together for a video for Little Heaven to make- From Angel's POV

YOU'LL ACCOMPANY ME
Bob Seger


A gypsy wind is blowing warm tonight
The sky is starlit and the time is right
And still you're tellin' me you have to go
Before you leave there's something you should know
Yeah something you should know babe

I've seen you smiling in the summer sun
I've seen your long hair flying when you run
I've rnade my mind up that it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
You're high above me now, you're wild and free ah but
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Some people say that love's a losin' game
You start with fire but you lose the flame
The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone
You end up cold and lonely on your own

I'll take my chances babe I'II risk it all
I'll win your love or I'II take the fall
I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

It's written down somewhere, it's not to be
You're high above me flyin' wild and free
Oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

[starbuck42084]

You've probably noticed that I like Rascal Flatts. I was listening to their CD 'Melt' yesterday and this song got me thinking about Cordy and Angel.

Shine On Me--Rascal Flatts

I was lost in darkness and sinking sand
Well I was barely nothing, a broken man
But you picked up the pieces of my
Heart in your hand
Then you came and showed to me
Love's second chance

Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Whenever something's missing
You're exactly what I need
Your love has shown me the light
And now I finally see
So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah

Lord knows that I'm not perfect but I sure do try
And I see the man that I can be in your eyes
Well there are times I still get lost in yesterday
But you put the past behind me and
You light my way

Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Whenever something's missing
You're exactly what I need
Your love has shown me the light
And now I finally see
So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah

Shine on (let your love shine)
Shine on (on me)
Shine all your love on me, yeah
(Your love on me)
Shine all your love on me, yeah

Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Whenever something's missing
You're exactly what I need
Your love has shown me the light
And now I finally see
So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah

Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Won't you keep on shining, yeah
Won't you keep on shining your love
Down on me, baby
Won't you keep on shining, yeah
Won't you keep on shining your love down on me
Yeah, you're exactly what I need, baby
Yeah, you are

[LaLa247]

Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated

[Chorus]
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated
I am certain now that

[Chorus]

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away [4x]

[Chorus]

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

[cordynangel]

My wedding song but also very C/A:

Somebody ~ Depeche Mode

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who’ll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She’ll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She’ll hear me out
And won’t easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she’ll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
Aaaahhhhh....

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who’ll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don’t want to be tied
To anyone’s strings
I’m carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I’m asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I’ll get away with it
Aaaahhhhh....

**********************

And when I hear this song, I think Angel may have thought this when Cordy was in a coma:

Pictures of You ~ The Cure

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

****************************

Ok couldn't resist, I had to add one more:

Hail Hail ~ Pearl Jam

Ah, is there room for both of us? Both of us apart?
Are we bound out of obligation? Is that all we've got?
I get the words and then I get to thinking.
I don't want to think, I want to feel.
And how do I feel? And how do I...

If you're the only one will I never be enough? Yeah.
Hail hail the lucky ones. I refer to those in love. Yeah.

Oh, how I'll love you til the day I die and beyond.
Are we going to the same place? If so can I come?
It's egg rolling thick and heavy. All the past you carry.
Oh, I could be new. You underestimate me.

If you're the only one will I never be enough? Yeah.
Hail hail the lucky ones. I refer to those in love. Yeah.

I sometimes realize I could only be as good as you'll let me.
Are you woman enough to be my man? Bandaged hand in hand.

I find it on the run in a race that can't be won. Yeah.
All hail the lucky ones. I refer to those in love. Yeah.
If you're my only one, so could you only one?
I want to be your one. Enough! You won no one. You're one.

[brownsbros3]

This would have been good for the season three finale "Tomorrow."

"What If I Told You" by Anita Cochran and Steve Warnier

We've been friends for a long, long time.
You tell me your secrets and I tell you mine.
She's left you all alone, and you feel like no one cares.
But I have never failed you, I've always been there.

You tell me your story, it sounds a bit like mine.
It's the same old situation, it happens every time.
Can't we see, oh maybe you and me is what's meant to be,
Or do we disagree?

(Chorus)
What if I told you, what I said that I love you?
How would you feel, what would you think, what would we do?
Do we dare to cross that line, between your heart and mine?
Or would I lose a friend, or find a love that would never end?
What if I said?

She doesn't love you oh, it's plain to see.
I can read between the lines of what you're telling me.
He doesn't hold you the way a woman should be held.
How long can I go on keeping these feelings to myself?

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh, we've both had our share of loneliness.
So who's to say we can't have a little happiness.
And if I found that in you,
It would make my dreams come true
Or would you walk away?
Hear what I have to say.

Oh, what I told you, what if I said that I love you?
How would you feel, what would you think, what would we do?
Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine?
I've always wonder from the day that we met,
What if I said....
What if I said....
What if I said....

[angry little lawyer]

Heard this Song on the radio and it reminds me of Angel and Cordy
Run by Snow Patrol

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all i've done.

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Anywhere from here

Light up, Light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do.

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess.

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear.

[samluvsharrison]

Leave the Light On by Lagwagon

So please leave the light on after you've gone
Leave the pictures in their aging frames up where they belong
Leave the bedsheets unclean so they will reek of you still
Cover me in resolve

So please leave the imagery
I can twist it
Dissociation and obsession
Superstition and pain
I can carry them on too and bury you once again

If I could bring this memory to life
I'd apologize
I live to hear you say what they can't
I would make amends
They'd all love to have you back but...
I'd give anything to bring you back to say goodbye

[starbuck42084]

Hey guys, I was driving to work the other day and this song came on the radio. I immediately thought of Cordy and Angel. Don't know if anyone posted it before.

Jimmy Wayne--"You Are"

Baby when I look at you,
You know it breaks my heart in two,
How beautiful you are

(verse 2)
Seen you in a million dreams,
now you're finally here with me,
We will never be apart

(bridge)
I wanna hold you forever,
That's all I'll ever need

(chorus)
You are my love, you are my life,
My heart and soul the truest friend I've ever known,
You are my world, all of my dreams,
My fantasy, my reality,
I love everything you are, yes I do

(verse 3)
Everytime I close my eyes,
Hit's me so deep inside,
How true this feelin is,

I'm intoxicated by your touch,
It's a sweet sweet rush,
I'm in love with your kiss,

(bridge)
You're the one that I trust the most,
You changed me,

(chorus)
You are my love, you are my life,
My heart and soul the truest friend I've ever known,
You are my world, all of my dreams,
My fantasy, my reality,
I love everything you are,

(chorus)
(chorus)
You are my love, you are my life,
My heart and soul the truest friend I've ever known,
You are my world, all of my dreams,
My fantasy, my reality,
I love everything you are,
Everything, I love everything, you are

[Finding Beauty]

I love this song so much and I guess it could fit in with C/A attempting, but not quite being able to get to the point of a relationship. I heard it on a DC episode for P/J, but I think it fits here too.

Sarah Slean "My Invitation"

You are what they call the human season
You are all the alphabet in one
You are every color of confusion
You are all the silence I've become

Love me, for stupid reasons
I like those, most
Wide-eyed, but
Worth believing
God knows

Damn the angry voice that keeps up quiet
The editor whose work is never done
Keeping pretty words between my teeth, dear
Sweet confessions underneath my tongue

Drowsy contemplation should
I let you in
Well, this is
My invitation
But how do I begin

She has such an awful lot of soldiers,
Quite a lovely army all, a-row
Night and day they stand before the fortress
Very safe, but very all alone
