Sort of a 2010 throwback, but it doesn't get old.

I love to lay here lazy We could close the curtains Pretend like there's no world outside We got everything we need right here And everything we need is enough

These blooming petals With a single touch, in my sight they Scatter at my fingertips Leave behind only dust
How many retries before I can attain it? Will you forgive me and tell me to stay with you? Why can't you understand?!
So much pain, so much suffering The more I want you, the farther you drift away To be accepted, to be loved, an eternal promise! Accept this love that transcends death!
Saving this world that has no salvation! (Just loved by you, just you) I have thought to live on... (Destroy for you, for you) To love this world!
I just desire the things that I want What I capture are just falling tears! If I can't obtain them, then it's fine Then it's alright to sacriface it all!
No matter how many times, it's still the same I don't want it anymore, no more pests or denial Everyone, disappear!
No matter how much I wish, or how much I lament This cracking heart hungers and thirsts So cold, so lonely and I don't need all of this! Broken due to this deadly love!
Clocks hands signal forth destruction "I love you", I shout to the world!
So much pain, so much suffering The more I want you, the farther you drift away! To be loved, to be accepted, an eternal promise! Accept this love that transcends death!
Deeply, deeply i'll engrave it into you! (Just loved by you, just you) For I shall.... (Destroy for you, for you) Never be forgotten
Saving this world that has no salvation! (Just loved by you, just you) I have thought to live on (Destroy for you, for you) To love this world!

like a ton of bricks --
If I Fell - Beatles
If I fell in love with you Would you promise to be true And help me understand? Cuz I've been in love before And I found that love was more Than just holding hands
If I give my heart to you I must be sure from the very start That you will love me more than her
If I trust in you Oh please Don't run and hide If I love you too Oh please Don't hurt my pride like her Cuz I couldn't stand the pain And I would be sad If our new love was in vain
So I hope you see That I would love to love you And that she will cry When she learns we are too If I fell in love with you
