Everything We Had // The Academy Is…

Ugh. Love this…

Rise Against - “Swing Life Away”

“I’ve been here so long, I think that it’s time to move,
The winter’s so cold, summer’s over too soon,
Let’s pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow.

I’ve got some friends, some that I hardly know,
But we’ve had some times, I wouldn’t trade for the world,
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go.

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage,
If love is a labor I’ll slave till the end,
I won’t cross these streets until you hold my hand.”

Lucero - “Hold Fast”

I can dig it.

Kings of Leon - “Sex on Fire”

Probably Kings of Leon’s most recognizable song. :)

Kings of Leon - “Use Somebody”

One of their most popular songs of all time and for good reason.

Kings of Leon - “Genius”

Probably my favorite from their first album.

Kings of Leon - “Ragoo”

Top three favorite KOL songs, easily.

“Here’s to the kids out there smoking in the streets,
They’re way too young, but I’m way too old to preach,
They know it all, but they still ain’t seen the truth,
Just play my song and I will show it all to you.”

Kings of Leon - “On Call”

Easily in my top three favorite KOL songs and possibly top five all-time favorite songs.

“I’m on call,
So be there,
One and all
To be there,
When I fall,
To pieces,
Don’t you know,
I’ll be there waiting.”

Kings of Leon - “Pistol of Fire”

Kings of Leon - “Four Kicks”

One of my favorite KOL songs. <3

Kings of Leon - “Fans”

Kings of Leon - “The Bucket”

“I’ll be the one to show you the way
You’ll be the one to always complain
Three in the morning come-a bang bang bang
All out of fags and I just can’t wait
Cancel the thing that I said I’d do
I don’t feel comfortable talkin’ to you
‘Less you got the zipper fixed on my shoe
Then I’ll be in the lobby drinking for two”

Kings of Leon - “Radioactive”

“And the crowd begins to wander,
And they cry to see your face.”
