Garden State Soundtrack Lyrics

Don't Panic By Coldplay

Bones sinking like stones / All that we've fought for / All these places we've grown / All of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world / Yeah we do, yeah we do / We live in a beautiful world

Bones sinking like stones / All that we've fought for / All these places we've grown / All of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world / Yeah we do, yeah we do / We live in a beautiful world (x2)

Oh all that I know / There's nothing here to run from / 'cos yeah, everybody here's got somebody to lean on

Caring is Creepy By The Shins

I think I'll go home and mull this over / Before I cram it down my throat / At long last it's crashed, the colossal mass / Has broken up into bits in my moat.

Lift the mattress off the floor / Walk the cramps off / Go meander in the cold / Hail to your dark skin / Hiding the fact you're dead again / Underneath the power lines seeking shade / Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason

It's a luscious mix of words and tricks / That let us bet when you know we should fold / On rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped / And the whole mess of roads we're now on.

Hold your glass up, hold it in / Never betray the way you've always known it is. / One day I'll be wondering how / I got so old just wondering how / I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.

This is way beyond my remote concern / Of being condescending

All these squawking birds won't quit. / Building nothing, laying bricks.

In the Waiting Line By Zero 7

Wait in line / 'Till your time / Ticking clock / Everyone stop

Everyone's saying different things to me / Different things to me / Everyone's saying different things to me / Different things to me

Woooohh / Do you believe / In what you see / There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

Do you believe / In what you see / Motionless wheel / Nothing is real / Wasting my time / In the waiting line / Do you believe in / What you see

Nine to five / Living lies / Everyday / Stealing time / Everyone's taking everything they can / Everything they can / Everyone's taking everything they can / Everything they can

Woooohh / Do you believe / In what you feel / It doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

Do you believe / In what you see / Motionless wheel / Nothing is real / Wasting my time / In the waiting line / Do you believe / In what you see

Ah and I'll shout and I'll scream / But I'd rather not have seen / And I'll hide away for another day

Do you believe / In what you see / Motionless wheel / Nothing is real / Wasting my time / In the waiting line / Do you believe / In what you see

Everyone's saying different things to me / Different things to me / Different things to me / Different things to me / Different things to me / Everyone's taking everything they can / Everything they can

New Slang By The Shins

Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth. / Only, I don't know how they got out, dear. / Turn me back into the pet that I was when we met. / I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you'd 'a took to me like / A gull takes to the wind. / Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree / And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores / And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries. / Hope it's right when you die, old and bony. / Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall, / Never should have called / But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely.

And if you'd 'a took to me like / A gull takes to the wind. / Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree / And I'd a danced like the kind of the eyesores / And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs, / And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away.

I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find. / Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine? / And if you'd 'a took to me like / Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores / And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You By Colin Hay

I drink good coffee every morning / Comes from a place that's far away / And when I'm done I feel like talking / Without you here there is less to say

I don't want you thinking I'm unhappy / What is closer to the truth / That if I lived till I was 102 / I just don't think I'll ever get over you

I'm no longer moved to drink strong whisky / 'Cause I shook the hand of time and I knew / That if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs / I just don't think I'll ever get over you

Your face it dances and it haunts me / Your laughter's still ringing in my ears / I still find pieces of your presence here / Even after all these years

But I don't want you thinking I don't get asked to dinner / 'Cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do / Even though I may soon feel the touch of love / I just don't think I'll ever get over you

If I lived till I was 102 / I just don't think I'll ever get over you

Garden State Soundtrack Lyrics

Blue Eyes By Cary Brothers

Wish enough, wise man'll tell you a lie / Window broke, torn up screens / Who'd have thought that you'd dream / Of a single tragic scene

I just wanna sing a song with you / I just want to take it off of you

Cause Blue Eyes / You are all that I need / Cause Blue Eyes / You’re the sweet to my mean

Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand / I can help you to stand / Saved it up for this dance / Tell me all the things you can

I just wanna sing a song with you / I just wanna be the one that's true

Cause Blue Eyes / You’re the secret I keep / Cause Blue Eyes

All the lights on and you are alive / But you can't point the way to your heart / So sublime, when the stars are aligned / But you don't know / You don't know the greatness you are

Cause Blue Eyes / You are destiny's scene / Cause Blue Eyes / I just wanna be the one

I just wanna sing a song with you / I just wanna get it on with you

Cause Blue Eyes / You’re the secret I keep / Cause Blue Eyes / I just wanna sing a song with you

Garden State Soundtrack Lyrics

Fair By Remy Zero

Hey, are you lonely? / Has summer gone so slowly? / We found the ground / And that damage was done / It's cold as you fade into the sun / Where'd you go? To me?

But you're alive! / Well, it's only / Fallen frames, they told me / You stand out, it's so loud / And so what if it is? / It's cold as you face into the wind / Where'd it go to? / Tonight the sun shall see its light

So what if you catch me, / Where would we land? / In somebody's life / For taking his hands / Sing to me hope as she's / Thrown on the sand / All of your work / Is rated again / Where to go?

And you were somehow the rain this thing could allow / But it's all wrong / You're so strong / And this life and work / And choice took far too long / Where'd it go? / Tonight the sun shall see its light

So what if you catch me, / Where would we land? / In somebody's life / For taking his hands / Sing to me hope as she's / Thrown on the sand / All of our work / Is rated again

When I was sure you'd follow through / My world was turned to blue so thin / When you'd hide your songs would die / So I'd hide yours with mine / And all my words were bound to fail / I know you won't fail / See, I can tell

Garden State Soundtrack Lyrics

One Of These Things First By Nick Drake

I could have been a sailor, could have been a cook / A real live lover, could have been a book. / I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock / As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock. / I could be / Here and now / I would be, I should be / But how? / I could have been / One of these things first / I could have been / One of these things first.

I could have been your pillar, could have been your door / I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more. / Could have been your statue, could have been your friend, / A whole long lifetime could have been the end. / I could be yours so true / I would be, I should be through and through / I could have been / One of these things first / I could have been / One of these things first.

I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute / A real live giver, could have been a boot. / I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock / As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock. / I could be even here / I would be, I should be so near / I could have been / One of these things first / I could have been / One of these things first.

Lebanese Blonde By Thievery Corporation

Too low to find my way / Too high to wonder why / I've touched this place before / Somewhere in another time / Now I can hear the sun / The clouds drifting through the blinds / A half a million thoughts / Are flowing through my mind

A satellite recalled your voice / Sent me round the world again / All the night you've dreamt away / Sent me round my heart again / One touch upon my lips / And all my thoughts are clear / I feel your smoky mist / Up to the stratosphere

Did you notify my way / To hide a wonder why / I've touched this place before, / So we're in another time / Now I can hear the sound / The clouds drifting through the blidge / A half a million thoughts / Are flowing through my mind (x2)

The Only Living Boy in New York By Simon & Garfunkel

Tom, get your plane right on time. / I know your part'll go fine. / Fly down to Mexico. / Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am, / The only living boy in New York. / I get the news I need on the weather report. / I can gather all the news I need on the weather report. / Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile. / Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da here I am / The only living boy in New York

Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where, / And we don't know here.

Tom, get your plane right on time. / I know that you've been eager to fly now. / Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine / Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da / Like it shines on me / The only living boy in New York, / The only living boy in New York.

Such Great Heights By Iron & Wine

I am thinking it's a sign / That the freckles in our eyes / Are mirror images and / When we kiss they're perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate / That God himself did make us into / Corresponding shapes like puzzles pieces / From the clay

True, it may seem like a stretch / But it's thoughts like this / That catch my troubled head / When you're away, when I am missing you to death

When you were out there on the road / For several weeks of shows / And when you scan the radio / I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights / "Come down now," they'll say / But everything looks perfect from far away / "Come down now," but we'll stay

I've tried my best to leave / This all on your machine / But the persistent beat / Sounded thin upon listening

That frankly will not fly / You will hear the shrillest highs / And lowest lows with the windows down / When this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights / "Come down now," they'll say / But everything looks perfect from far away / "Come down now," but we'll stay

Garden State Soundtrack Lyrics

Let Go By Frou Frou

Drink up baby down / Are you in or are you out? / Leave your things behind / 'Cause it's all going off without you / Excuse me too busy you're writing a tragedy / These mess-ups / You bubble-wrap / When you've no idea what you're like

So, let go / Jump in / Oh well, what you waiting for? / It's all right / 'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown / So, let go / Just get in / Oh, it's so amazing here / It's all right / 'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives / And then advances with the form / So, honey, back for more / Can't you see that all the stuff's essential? / Such boundless pleasure / We've no time for later / Now you can wait / You roll your eyes / We've twenty seconds to comply

So, let go/ Jump in / Oh well, what you waiting for? / It's all right / 'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown / So, let go / Just get in / Oh, it's so amazing here / It's all right / 'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown (x2)

Winding Road By Bonnie Somerville

Well the rain keeps on coming down / It feels like a flood in my head / And that road keeps on calling me / Screaming to everything lying ahead

And it's a winding road / I've been walking for a long time / I still don't know where it goes / And it's a long way home / I've been searching for a long time / I still have hope / I'm gonna find my way home

And I can see a little house on top of the hill / And I can smell the ocean salt in the air / And I can see you / You're standing there and you're washing your car / And I can see California / The sun in your hair

And it's a winding road / I've been walking for a long time / I still don't know / where it goes / And it's a long way home / I've been searching for a long time / I still have hope / I'm gonna find my way home

All these dreams took me so far / When I felt I just couldn't go on / I wanna hang out the window of your car / And see how just how good this baby can look

Cause it's a winding road / I've been walking for a long time / I still don't know / Where it goes / And it's a long way home / I've been searching for a long time / I still have hope / We're gonna find our way home
