So simple by Alicia Keys

It would be
It would be
It would be, so simple


What it is ain't what it was
What should it be, when it comes to you and
How it seems ain't how it is
There's been a change, when it comes to me
and


Oh baby you,
Oh baby me,
Oh maybe we,
Can try another day another way


All in my mind,
I'm wonderin' why,
We cannot find,
What was left at the beginning
If I could


Meet you again
Kiss you again
Miss you again
(It would be, it would be so simple)


Cause I would
Love you again
Hold you again
Need you again
(It would be, it would be...
could it be,could it be so simple)


Now it's hardly simple
It's just simply hard
When it comes to you and
I find myself not being myself
Just to avoid
All this confrontation with


Oh baby you,
Oh baby me,
Oh maybe we,
Can put this armor down and settle down


Oh it's off track
That is a fact
Can we get it back
Get it back to the beginning
If I could

Meet you again
Kiss you again
Miss you again
(It would be, it would be so simple)


Cause I would
Love you again
Hold you again
Need you again
(It would be, it would be...
could it be, could it be so simple)


Don't you know that it would be
Don't you know that it would be
Don't you know that it would be


It would be
It would be
It it would be
It would be


Meet you again
Kiss you again
Miss you again
(It would be, it would be so simple)


Cause I would
Love you again
Hold you again
Need you again
(It would be, it would be...
could it be, it would be so simple)

えいさ - Jero


Jero is one of my favourite Japanese singers, ever! Okay so he's a 1/4 Japanese and identifies as Black like me. Maybe that's the reason I like him so much. I think this is my first Japanese song posting. I don't do romaji, folk. But on some songs may be in all kana (hiragana and katakana) and an english translation when I've one.







すが漏りの浮き名の独り暮らし
あなたの声、匂い、あなたの嘘
愛は終われますか
ひとりでに
改札で凍て鶴だわ
声かけられぬ寂しさに耐えています
身じろぎもできないのあたし馬鹿ね
えええ…えいさ 飛び立っておゆき





現在使われておりません」が
どこか遠くであのホトトギスに
あなた呼び出されているのでしょう
はぐれた手を温めて
追いかけられぬ悔しさに耐えています
遠慮がちのあたしじゃ役立たずね
えええ…えいさ 幸せにおなり




嘘ついてまで欲しかったものがあったわ
痛くなるほど抱きしめられ
声かけられぬ寂しさに耐えています
身じろぎもできないのあたし馬鹿ね
えええ…えいさ 飛び立っておゆき



A single life of love affairs of water freezing on the edge of the roof
Your voice, scent, your lies
Can love come to an end?
I'm all alone
A bird frozen at the ticket-check
I'm enduring a loneliness that I can't speak of
I'm a fool who can't move an inch
That's...right; I'm going to fly away


It's not used much anymore", but
But that cuckoo somewhere far away
Is calling out for you
Warming a stray hand
I'm enduring a stress that I can't chase after
Being so reserved, you're useless
That's...right; I'm going to be happy



There were things that I wanted so much that I lied for
Held so tightly that it hurt
I'm enduring a loneliness that I can't speak of
I'm a fool who can't move an inch
That's...right; I'm going to fly away

Stop this Train - John Mayer

No I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind but...
I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly won't someone stop this train

Don't know how else to say it,
don't want to see my parents go

One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own

Stop this train

I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't but honestly won't someone stop this train

So scared of getting older

I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game to find away to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said help me understand
He said turn 68, you'll renegotiate
Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
Don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train


See once in a while when it's good

It'll feel like it should

And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound

And you don't miss a thing
'til you cry when you're driving away in the dark.

Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again

I can't take this speed it's moving in
I know I can't
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train

What a friend we have in Jesus

I know what y'all are thinking... huh? Well listen I am a Christian, if a slightly off beat one. And I've been playing this song a lot today to calm me down. Hope to get an important phone call today. Pray it goes my way and/or I can handle if it doesn't

What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.

Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there.

Friends Lovers or Nothing - John Mayer

Now that we are over
As the loving kind
We'll be dreaming ways
To keep the good alive

Only when we want is not

A compromise
I'll be pouring tears
Into your drying eyes

Friends, lovers, or nothing

There can only be one
Friends, lovers, or nothing
We'll never be the in-between
So give it up

You whisper, "Come on over"

Because you're two drinks in
But in the morning I will say
Good-bye again

Think we'll never fall into

The jealous game
The streets will flood
With blood of those who felt the same

Friends, lovers, or nothing

You see, there can only be one
Friends, lovers, or nothing
We'll never an in-between
So give it up

Friends, lovers, or nothing

We can really only ever be one
Friends, lovers, or nothing
Don't you know
We'll never be the in-between
So give it up

No, we'll never the in-between

So give it up

Anything other than yes is no

Anything other than stay is go
Anything less than I love you is lying

Who knew - Pink

Would have been 5 years today, never would've thought. Even though it was for the best.

You took my hand, you showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Ah huh, that's right

I took your words and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah huh that's right

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Coz they're all wrong
I know better
Coz you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, no no

I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you a friend
I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
'Fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
But they knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah

I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again (Meet again)
(Until we) Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Coz they're all wrong and
That last kiss I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes it harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darlin' who knew

My darlin' my darlin'
Who knew
My darlin' I miss you
My darlin'
Who knew

Who knew

She is - The Fray

this goes out to one I love...

Do not get me wrong

I cannot wait
For you to come home
For now you’re not here
And I’m not there
It’s like we’re on our own

To figure it out
Consider how
To find a place to stand
Instead of walking away
And instead of
Nowhere to land

This is going to
Break me clean in two
This is going to
Bring me close to you

She is everything I need
That I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want
That I never knew I needed

It’s all up in the air
And we stand still
To see what comes back down
I don’t know where it is
I don’t know when
But I want you around

When it falls in place
With you and I
We go from if to when
Your side and mine
Are both behind
It’s indication

This is going to
Bring me clarity

This’ll take the
Heart right out of me

She is everything I need
That I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want
That I never knew I needed

This is going to
Bring me to my knees
I just want to
Hold you close to me

She is everything I need
That I never knew I wanted

She is everything I want
That I never knew I needed
