(V 1)
I stand on the cold sidewalk and watch the rain
fall into the drain
I feel my thoughts race with speed
and wonder if this is just a need.
A need to listen, to whisper, to think
and wonder if I might just take that chance and blink.
(CHORUS)
Baby don't listen, don't whisper, don't speak,
'cause I'm standin' here wanting to run.
My ears are frozen red just like my cheeks,
and now I look how much love you gave, and guess what? It's none.
Once I made a far off promise, a promise that you broke.
And the rain falls down in cool, cold drips,
and my destiny makes me choke.
(V 2)
I ponder the promise and the pact you made for keeps.
It really was very cheap.
I wonder how things really work,
and my lips spread to make a smirk.
Things really ended up how you wanted,
and now my soul's left deserted with that pain that makes it haunted.
(CHORUS)
Baby don't listen, don't whisper, don't speak,
'cause I'm standin' here wanting to run.
My ears are frozen red just like my cheeks,
and now I look how much love you gave, and guess what? It's none.
Once I made a far off promise, a promise that you broke.
And the rain falls down in cool, cold drips,
and my destiny makes me choke.

Angels on the Telephone
(Verse One)
I've sent a million prayers up to heaven
Asking for a sign, begging for a reason
Why you
by Joseph Love
One day I said,
"I want you for my wife"
Til the end of time
I'll be right by your side
All through lifes storms
We'll keep each
by P. Rudd
On a star strewn night,
Or a sun drenched day,
No matter what I do,
No matter what I say,
You'll be back to me,
Call it destiny.
Destiny
by Te Ora
Lifes Sweet Journey
Flip a coin for Heads or Tails
Toss it in a Well
Whichever way it Falls
Only Fate can Tell
Tea leaf or
by L. Merlino
Destiny in red
crown upon her head
pushing through the crowded subway
another time, another place awaits
Tendrils of copper
