[|A Golden Chain]
[|Friendship] is a Golden Chain, The links are friends so dear, And like a rare and precious jewel It’s treasured more each year…

It’s clasped together firmly With a love that’s deep and true, And it’s rich with happy memories and fond recollections, too…

Time can’t destroy its beauty For, as long as memory lives, Years can’t erase the pleasure That the joy of friendship gives…

For friendship is a priceless gift That can’t be bought or sold, But to have an understanding friend Is worth far more than gold…

And the Golden Chain of Friendship Is a strong and blessed tie Binding kindred hearts together As the years go passing by.

__It's Not Over__
I was blown away. What could I say? It all seemed to make sense. You've taken away everything, And I can't deal with that. I try to see the good in life, But good things in life are hard to find. We'll blow it away, blow it away. Can we make this something good? Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.

Let's start over. I'll try to do it right this time around. It's not over. 'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground. This [|love] is killing me, But you're the only one. It's not over.

Taken all I could take, And I cannot wait. We're wasting too much time Being strong, holding on. Can't let it bring us down. My life with you means everything, So I won't give up that easily. I'll blow it away, blow it away. Can we make this something good? 'Cause it's all misunderstood. Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.

Let's start over. I'll try to do it right this time around. It's not over. 'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground. This love is killing me, But you're the only one. It's not over.

We can't let this get away. Let it out, let it out. Don't get caught up in yourself. Let it out.

Let's start over. I'll try to do it right this time around. It's not over. 'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground. This love is killing me, But you're the only one. It's not over.

Let's start over. It's not over, yeah... This love is killing me, But you're the only one. It's not over.

__[|Invictus]__
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and [|tears] Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the [|scroll]. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. By: William Ernest Henley

__[|Fireflies]__
You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep 'Cause they fill the open air, And leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude, but I would just stand and... stare

I'd like to make myself believe That Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I get a thousand [|hugs] From ten thousand lightning bugs As they try to teach me how to dance A foxtrot above my head, A sock hop beneath my bed, A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)

I'd like to make myself believe That Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack (Please take me away from here) 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac (Please take me away from here) Why do I tire of counting sheep? (Please take me away from here) When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies I'm weird 'cause I hate good-byes I got misty eyes as they said farewell (they said farewell) But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar, jar)

I'd like to make myself believe That Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Because my dreams are bursting at the seams By: [|Owl City]
