Shake It Out (Acoustic) - Florence and the Machine

The boy with the thorn in his side 
Behind the hatred there lies 
A murderous desire for love 
How can they look into my eyes 
And still they don’t believe me? 

- The Boy with the Thorn in His Side, Scott Matthews

It comes down to reality
And it’s fine with me ‘cause I’ve let it slide
Don’t care if it’s Chinatown or on Riverside
I don’t have any reasons
I’ve left them all behind
I’m in a New York state of mind

- New York State of Mind, Billy Joel

Like sand on my feet
The smell of sweet perfume
You stick to me forever baby
I wish you didn’t go, I wish you didn’t go
I wish you didn’t go away

To touch you again
With life in your hands
It couldn’t be any harder

- Could It Be Any Harder, The Calling

I packed up all my things and then I lost my bag
No matter how much I cry, I know I’ll never get it back
Sorry girl for taking you for a ride
I just crashed the car and then I left you, yeah I left you aside

- Big Red Dragon, Little Green Cars

I’ll give you all I got to give if you say you’ll love me too
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I’ll give to you
I don’t care too much for money, money can’t buy me love

- Can’t Buy Me Love, The Beatles

Everyone’s looking for love
Looking for something to hold on to
Oh, I’ve been looking for 25 years
And I know I won’t find it in you

- Restless Heart, Matt Hires

I saw Johanna down in the subway 
She took an apartment in Washington Heights 
Half of the ring lies here with me 
But the other half’s at the bottom of the sea

- A-Punk, Vampire Weekend

Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’,
And we’re stayin’ alive

- Stayin’ Alive, Capital Cities (Cover)
