#48 - “What’s Left of Me” by Nick Lachey
Watch my life pass me by in the rear view mirror Pictures frozen in time are becoming clearer I don’t wanna waste another day stuck in the shadow of my mistakes ‘Cause I want you and I feel you crawling underneath my skin, like a hunger like a burning to find the place I’ve never been Now I’m broken and I’m...

Chasin’ the neon rainbow Livin’ that honky tonk dream ‘Cause all I’ve ever wanted Is too pick this guitar and sing Just trying to be somebody Just wanna be heard and seen Chasin’ that neon rainbow Livin’ that honky tonk dream

#40 - “Faithfully” by Journey (and the cast of Glee)
Highway run Into the midnight sun Wheels go round and round You’re on my mind Restless hearts Sleep alone tonight Sending all my love Along the wire They say that the road Ain’t no place to start a family Right down the line It’s been you and me And lovin’ a music man Ain’t always what it’s...

#37 - “Time” by Hootie and the Blowfish
Time, why do you punish me? Like a wave bashing into the shore You wash away my dreams. Time, why do you walk away? Like a friend with somewhere to go You left me crying Can you teach me about tommorrow And all the pain and sorrow Running free? Cause tomorrow’s just another day And I don’t believe in time

When the road gets dark And you can no longer see Let my love throw a spark And have a little faith in me When the tears you cry Are all you can believe Just give these loving arms a try baby And have a little faith, faith in me Have a little faith in me Have a little faith in me And have a little faith in me Have...

#26 - “Grey Street” by Dave Matthews Band
And it breaks her heart How she wishes it was different She prays to God most every night And though she swears it doesn’t listen There’s still a hope in her it might She says “I pray oh But they fall on deaf ears, am I supposed to take it on myself? To get out of this place? “ Oh There’s a loneliness inside her...

#20 - “I Don’t Wanna Be” by Gavin DeGraw
I don’t wanna be anything other than what I’ve been tryin’ to be lately, All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind, I’m tired of looking ‘round rooms wonder what I gotta do, Or who I’m supposed to be, I don’t wanna be anything other than me
