Champagne High 
                by Sister Hazel 
 
I wasn't looking for a lifetime with you 
And I never thought it would hurt just to hear 
"I do" and "I do" 
And I do a number on myself 
And all that I thought to be 
And You'll be the one 
That just left me undone 
By my own, hesitation 

Pre-Chorus: 
And for the million hours that we were 
well, I'll smile and remember it all 
then I'll turn and go 
while your story's completed, mine is a long way from done 

Chorus: 
Well I'm on a champagne high 
Where will I be when I stop wondering why 
On a champagne high 
I'd toast to the furture but that'd be a lie 
On a champagne high, high 

Spring turned to summer 
But then winter turned to mean 
the distance seemed right 
At the time it was best - to leave 
and to leave behind 
What I once thought was so real - to me 
And while I'm still gone 
on the quest for my song 
I'm at your - celebration 

Pre-Chorus 

Chorus 

Your wagon's been hitched to a star 
well now he'll be your thing that's new 
Yeah what little I have you can borrow 
'cause I'm old and I'm blue... 

Pre-Chorus 

Well I'm on a champagne high(so high) 
where will I be when I stop wondering why 
on a champagne high(so high) 
toast the the future but that'd be a lie 
On a champagne high 
Where will I be when I stop wondering why 
On a champagne high....high... 
So high, so high, you left me undone 
so high, so high, you left me  undone...

Do You Feel the Same 
By Silverchair
  
 Moon covered
Determined to find
To find my place of hiding
Try to detach
Try to decrease
To make it easier on me
Despise myself for what you've done
Sent me back into my world
Hold yourself cause no one will
I'll make it  easier
 
Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun
 
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
 
Stay alert cos I'm obsessed
Surely I can't be depressed
Could I be read if I was see-through
Or would you just read my spine
 
Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun
 
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
 
How yourself cos no one will
I'll be there to take the spill
Clease your sould change the tide
And ride the wave back into me

All You Wanted
by Michelle Branch
 
I wanted to be like you 
I wanted everything 
So I tried to be like you 
And I got swept away 

I didn't know that it was so cold out 
And you needed someone to show you the way 
So I took you hand and we figure out 
That when the tide comes I'd take you away 

If you want to 
I can save you 
I can take you away from here 
So lonely inside 
So busy out there 
And all you wanted was somebody who cares 

I'm sinking slowly 
So hurry hold me 
Your hand is all I have to keep ma hanging on 
Please can you tell me 
So I can finally see 
Where you go when you're gone 

If you want to 
I can save you 
I can take you away from here 
So lonely inside 
So busy out there 
And all you wanted was somebody who cares 

All you wanted was somebody who cares 
If you need me you know I'll be there 
Oh, yeah 

 If you want to 
I can save you 
I can take you away from here 
So lonely inside 
So busy out there 
And all you wanted was somebody who cares 

Please can you tell me 
So I can finally see 
Where you go when you're gone...

Here's to the Night 
          by Eve6
  
 So denied, so I lied, are you the now or never kind?
In a dad and a day love, I'm gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had, are you cool with just a tonight
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come to soon
 
Put your name on the line along with place and time
Wanna stay not to go, I wanna ditch the logical
Here's  a toast to all those who hear me all too well
 
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come to soon
All my time is frozen in motion
Can't I stay an or or two or more
Don't let me let you go
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
 
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come to soon

Wait 
by Seven Mary Three
 
I imagine long walks down the road Things begin to bloom and the sky explodes 
The damage is undone, and then I know 
This has got to be a dream 
machine and luxuries don't last 
I took my sleep for granted in the past 
And I woke up half-dead in the hourglass 
Why does that sound funny? 
Wait, you're almost there it's gone 
You're almost there it's gone 
You're almost where you what follows you, 
Does not bother you 
I have walked the tightrope parts of me 
I towed theline just far enought to see 
I never found a gift you get for free 
You pay for them dearly 
I see my forever as one long night 
If I can make it light 
I know that most of living done 
Is done in the mind 
Only thought survives 
Are you tired? 
Are you uninspired? 
Has the mis-communication 
Tried to eat you up inside? 
I am here, and you are here 
And everything I want to know 
Sleeps between your ears

Highschool Farewell Address
By Erin Elisabeth Baker
In a few days our highschool career will come to an end. For some it's come too soon. But for us normal people, it hasn't come quick enough. They say highschool is the best time of your life. Although i don't totally agree, i don't disagree either. 

In the past four years I've survived reading the last paragraph of "A River Runs Through It" at least 50 times, i've learned to be tolerant of others and from personal experience, i've learned that what's on the outside doesn't matter. It's who you are on the inside that matters. 

Towards the end of the year you hear everyone telling you how sweet you are, or how much they wish they had gotten to know you better in the past. The truth is, a lot of these people don't mean it. I'm not trying to be negative or mean. But if you sit back and think about it, there was nothing stopping these people from getting to know you, or me, or anyone else. 

If you asked me to name all of my friends, you would see the list is relatively short compared to anyone else's. But I am grateful for the few friends that i have, because they took the time to get to know me and find out about the person i am. They didn't judge me on how i looked, where i bought my clothes, or how much money my parents had. They listen to what i have to say, they're there for me when i need them and they respect me for the person i am. For those of you who couldn't take the time to do these things, or simply don't know how to look past the shell...thank you. Because of you, i have grown as a person. From you, i've learned to be the better person, to treat others how i want to be treated. 

I know we're supposed to get up here and tell cute little stories or share our memories but I'd rahter not. Most of my memories don't involve alot of people in this room and i doubt you all want to hear about the "funniest thing" that happened to me, or my most embarressing moments. Instead i'll just give you some advice. In the words of Josie Gellar in Never Been Kissed "There's a big world out there. Bigger than Prom. Bigger than highschool. When you get there, it won't matter if you were prom queen or the quarterback, or the biggest nerd in school. Find out who you are and don't be afraid of it." 

Thank you

Losing Grip 
By Avril Lavigne
are you aware of what you make me feel baby 
right now i feel invisable to you, like i'm not real 
didn't you feel me lock my arms around you 
why'd you turn away 
heres what i have to say: 
i was left to cry there 
waiting outside there 
grinning with the lost stare 
thats when i decided ..why should i care? 
cause you wernt there when i was scared 
i was so alone 
you need to listen 
im starting to trip; im losing my grip 
and i'm in this thing alone 
am i just some chick you placed beside you 
to take somebodys place 
when you turn around can you recongize my face 
you used to love me, you used to hug me 
but that wasnt the case 
everything wasnt okay 
i was left to cry there 
waiting outside there 
grinning with the lost stare 
thats when i decided ..why should i care? 
cause you wernt there when i was scared 
i was so alone 
you need to listen 
im starting to trip; im losing my grip 
and i'm in this thing alone 
crying outloud 
im crying outloud 
crying outloud 
im crying outloud 
open your eyes 
open up wide 
why should i care? 
cause you wernt there when i was scared 
i was so alone (2x) 
why should i care? 
if you dont care then i dont care 
were not going anywhere 
why should i care? 
cause you werent there when i was scared 
i was so alone (3x)
 
 
Anna Begins
By The Counting Crows
My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing." 
I am not worried 
I am not overly concerned 
My friend implores me, "For one time only, 
make an exception." I am not worried 
Wrap her up in a package of lies 
Send her off to a coconut island 
I am not worried I am not overly concerned 
with the status of my emotions 
"Oh," she says, "you're changing." 
But we're always changing 
It does not bother me to say this isn't love 
Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love 
And I guess I'm going to have to live with that 
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey, 
Something in between, 
And I can always change my name 
If that's what you mean 
My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing." 
But I am not really worried I am not overly concerned 
You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself 
To make yourself forget I am not worried 
"If it's love," she said, "then we're going to have to think about the consequences." 
She can't stop shaking 
I can't stop touching her and... 
This time when kindness falls like rain 
It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind 
"These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days," she says 
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing 
But I'm not going to break and I'm not going to worry about it anymore 
I'm not going to bend, and I'm not going to break and I'm not going to worry about it anymore 
It seems like I should say, "As long as this is love..." 
But it's not all that easy so maybe I should 
Snap her up in a butterfly net Pin her down on a photograph album 
I am not worried I've done this sort of thing before 
But then I start to think about the consequences 
Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and... 
The time when k indness falls like rain 
It washes me away and Anna begin s to change my mind 
And eve rytime she sneezes I believe it's love and 
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing 
She's talking in her sleep 
It's keeping me awake and Anna begins to toss and turn 
And every word is nonsense but I understand and 
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing 
Her kindness bangs a gong 
It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away 
It's chasing me away 
She disappears and 
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
