The Midnight's "Endless Summer" album cover. [Formatted]

Everything is clear in the rear-view mirror
See the coast highway and the golden hour
There is only love
Nothing was lost

Everything fits when you tell your story
The blurry portraits in the halls of former lovers—they’re gone, but nothing was lost

You’ll always be a part of me
You gave me a song to sing
Dancing in your room innocent and true
Elvis tattoo on your shoulder
We’ll know better when we’re older

You’ll always be a part of me
Some wounds will always sting
Forever in full bloom and barely twenty-two
Summer days are growing colder
We’ll know better when we’re older

All of this was planned when the world was started
The red-blood hearts with the final word that was never said
I’m tossing in my bed

But everything is clear in the rear-view mirror
When nothing is left the lights of evening around us shine
Full pink and silver skies

You’ll always be a part of me
You gave me a song to sing
Dancing in your room innocent and true
Elvis tattoo on your shoulder
We’ll know better when we’re older

You’ll always be a part of me
Some wounds will always sting
Forever in full bloom and barely twenty-two
Summer days are growing colder
We’ll know better when we’re older

Such Good Photography

I’ll Wait icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 07 from the 1984 LP by Van Halen icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Van Halen's "1984" album cover. [Formatted]

You’ve got me captured, I’m under your spell
I guess I’ll never learn
I have your picture, yes I know it well
Another page is turned
Are you for real?
It’s so hard to tell from just a magazine
You just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me

I’ll wait until your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now, as fine as you are

I wrote a letter and told her these words—that meant a lot to me
I never sent it because she wouldn’t have heard
Her eyes don’t follow me
And while she watches I can never be free
Such good photography

I’ll wait until your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now, as fine as you are

You can’t imagine what your image means
The pages come alive
Your magic greeting everyone who reads
Heartbreak in overdrive
Are you for real?
It’s so hard to tell from just a magazine
You just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me

I’ll wait until your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now, as fine as you are

We Are Will and Wonder

Pneuma icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 02 from the Fear Innoculum LP by Tool icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Tool's "Fear Inoculum" album cover. [Formatted]

We are spirit bound to this flesh
We go around with one foot nailed down, but are bound to reach out and beyond this flesh
Become pneuma

We are will and wonder
Bound to recall and remember
We are born of one breath and one word
We are all one spark… the sun… becoming

Child, wake up
Child, release the light
Wake up now, child—wake up!
Child, release the light
Wake up now, child
Spirit

We are bound to this flesh—this guise, this mask, this dream
Wake up and remember
We are born of one breath and one word
We are all of one spark… the sun… becoming

Pneuma
Reach out and beyond
Wake up and remember
We are born of one breath and one word
We are all of one spark with eyes full of wonder
