“People can live a hundred years without really living for a minute. You climb up here with me, it’s one less minute you haven’t lived.”

"All Shook Up" || Elvis Presley
 
A-well I bless my soul
What's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin wild as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
 
My hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
Please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up, but I'm feelin fine
When I'm near that girl that I love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!
 
She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
 
My tongue get tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have the girl that I love so fine!

"Syrup & Honey" || Duffy
 
Don't you be wastin' all your money
On syrup and honey because I'm sweet enough
Don't you be usin' every minute on makin' a livin'
Because we got our love
 
Listen to me 1, 2, 3
Baby, baby, baby
Spend your time on me
 
Don't you be out all night long leavin' me all alone
Because I, I need your love
Don't you be spendin' every day workin' away
Because I'm waitin' for you
 
Listen to me 1, 2, 3
Baby, baby, baby
Spend your time on me
 
Spend it, spend it, spend it
Your time on me
Please baby, please baby

"Everything Has Changed" || Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran
 
All I knew this morning when I woke
Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before
And all I've seen since 18 hours ago is green eyes and freckles and your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you know you know you
 
Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and i'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
 
And all my walls stood tall painted blue
But i'll take them down, take them down and open up the door for you
And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies the beautiful kind
Making up for lost time, taking flight, making me feel like
 
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you know you know you
 
Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and i'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
 
Come back and tell me why
I'm feeling like i've missed you all this time
And meet me there tonight
And let me know that it's not all in my mind
 
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you know you know you
 
Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed
All I know is he held the door
You'll be mine and i'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
 
All I know is we said hello
So dust off your highest hopes
All I know is pouring rain
And everything has changed
All I know is a new found grace
All my days, i'll know your face
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

"You Are Young" || Keane
 
Fearful child have faith in brighter days
Stay home 'til this darkness fades away
Lie still beside me
I'll hold you now, I'll hold you forever
 
Winter's hand will freeze your heart again
Doors will close, no time to start again
Nothing is given
Except the ties that hold us together
 
Lay down your load
Cause every day it's gonna grow
And bask in the sunshine
Try to pay no mind
Try to pay no mind at all
 
To all the things that you don't know
You've got time to realize you're shielded by the hands of love
'Cause you are young
 
Fading light may make a fool of me
Courage fails, strengths slip away from me
Lie still beside me
And hold me now, and hold me forever
 
Lay down your load
'Cause every day it's gonna grow
These days are sacred
Hey now, don't be scared
Baby, don't be scared at all
 
Of all the things that you don't know
You've got time to realize you're shielded by the hands of love
'Cause you are young
You've got time, you've got to try
To bring some good into this world
'Cause you are young
'Cause you are young

Trees
Mark Haddon
 
They stand in parks and graveyards and gardens.
Some of them are taller than department stores,
yet they do not draw attention to themselves.
 
You will be fitting a heated towel rail one day
and see, through the louvre window,
a shoal of olive-green fish changing direction
in the air that swims above the little gardens.
 
Or you will wake at your aunt’s cottage,
your sleep broken by a coal train on the empty hill
as the oaks roar in the wind off the channel.
 
Your kindness to animals, your skill at the clarinet,
these are accidental things.
We lost this game a long way back.
Look at you. You’re reading poetry.
Outside the spring air is thick
with the seeds of their children.
