CITADEL ANNA NALICK What if I bleed? What if I break and I find that I can't take the city below the citadel, holding my own hand? So afraid to go in alone, holding up this fortress with imaginary forces, longing for a life down below.
SHE'S ALWAYS A WOMAN BILLY JOEL She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you. She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe you. And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free, yeah, she steals like a thief but she's always a woman to me.
DIAMONDS ON THE SOLES OF HER SHOES PAUL SIMON People say she's crazy, she got diamonds on the soles of her shoes. Well that's one way to lose these walking blues.

SKYE BOAT SONG BEAR MCREARY FEAT. RAYA YARBROUGH Sing me a song of a lass that is gone, say, could that lass be I? All that was good, all that was fair, all that was me is gone.
A CASE OF YOU JAMES WOLPERT I remember that time you told me, "Love is touching souls." Well clearly you touched mine, 'cause part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time. You're in my blood like holy wine.

DISTANCE CHRISTINA PERRI And I will make sure to keep my distance, say "I love you" when you're not listening. And how long can we keep this up? Please don't stand so close to me, I'm having trouble breathing. I'm afraid of what you'll see right now.
MAMAS DON'T LET YOUR BABIES GROW UP TO BE COWBOYS WILLIE NELSON Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold. They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold. Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis, and each night begins a new day. If you don't understand him, an' he don't die young, he'll prob'ly just ride away. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks, let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.

And I am done with my graceless heart, so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart. And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back, and given half the chance would I take any of it back? It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone, it's always darkest before the dawn.
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't, so here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road. And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope, it's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat. 'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me. Looking for heaven, found the devil in me, well what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me.
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off.
