“Hello, it’s me
I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time’s supposed to heal ya, but I ain’t done much healing”- Hello by Adele
“You say I’m crazy
‘Cause you don’t think I know what you’ve done
But when you call me baby
I know I’m not the only one”- I’m Not the Only One by Sam Smith
“Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye”-Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival
“They say, ‘The holy water’s watered down
And this town’s lost its faith
Our colors will fade eventually’
So if our time is runnin’ out
Day after day
We’ll make the mundane our masterpiece”-Ordinary by Alex Warren
“Rise up this mornin’, smile with the risin’ sun
Three little birds pitched by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Sayin’, ‘This is my message to you’”
-Three Little Birds by Bob Marley
“And I hold you every night
And that’s a feelin’ I wanna get used to
But there’s no man as terrified
As the man who stands to lose you”-Beautiful Things by Benson Boone

In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river, I’ve been running
Ever since”-A Change is Gonna Come by Same Cooke
“You’re not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they’re feeding on
So what are you gonna do
When the world don’t orbit around you?”
- Ain’t It Fun by Paramore
“And I said, ‘What about breakfast at Tiffany’s?’
She said, ‘I think I remember the film and
As I recall, I think we both kinda liked it’
And I said, ‘Well, that’s the one thing we’ve got’”-Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Deep Blue Something
“What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
We are problems that want to be solved
We are children that need to be loved”
