Last Kiss - Boyce Avenue feat Megan & Liz (cover)

I still remember the look on your face.
Lit through the darkness at 1:58.
The words that you whispered for just us to know.
You told me you loved me, so why did you go away? Away....

I do recall now,
the smell of the rain fresh on the pavement.
You ran off the plane.
That July ninth, the beat of my heart it jumped through my shirt.
Hope you still feel my arms.

Now I'll go sit on the floor,
wearing your clothes.
All that I know is I don't know how to be something you miss.
I never thought we'd have a last kiss,
I never imagined we'd end like this.
Your name, forever the name on my lips.

I do remember the swing in your step.
The life of the party, you're showing off again.
And I'd roll my eyes and then you'd pull me in.
I'm not much for dancing, but for you I did.

Because you love my handshake, meeting your father.
Said he loved how I walk with my hands in my pockets,
how I'd kiss you when you were in the middle of saying something.
I pray that you still miss those rude interruptions.

Now I'll go sit on the floor, wearing your clothes.
All that I know is that I don't know how to be something you miss.
I never thought we'd have a last kiss,
I never imagined we'd end like this.
Your name, forever the name on my lips.

So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep,
and I'll feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe.
And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are.
Hope it's nice where you are.
And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day,
and something reminds you, you wish you had stayed.

I never planned on making you cry,
but not letting go would be living a lie.

So I'll go sit on the floor,
wearing your clothes.
All that I know is I don't know how to be something you miss.
I never thought we'd have a last kiss,
I never imagined we'd end like this.
Your name, forever the name on my lips.

Just like our last kiss,
Forever the name on my lips.
Forever the name on my lips.
Just like our last...

Everything Has Changed - Taylor Swift feat Ed Sheeran

(Taylor Swift)
All I knew this morning when I woke
Is I know something now,
know something now
I didn't before

And all I've seen
since 18 hours ago
his green eyes and freckles and your smile in the back of my mind making me feel right

I just want to know you better know
you better know
you better now
I just want to know you better know
you better know you better now

(Both)
I just want to know you better know
you better know
you better now
I just want to know you
know you
know you

Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name,
everything has changed

All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday
is everything has changed

(Ed Sheeran)
And all my walls stood tall,
painted blue
But I'll take 'em down,
take 'em down
and open up the door for you

(Taylor Swift)
And all I feel in my stomach
is butterflies the beautiful kind
Making up for lost time,
taking flight,
making me feel right

(Both)
I just want to know you better know
you better know
you better now
I just want to know you better know
you better know
you better now
I just want to know you better know
you better know
you better now
I just want to know you
know you
know you

Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name,
everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday
is everything has changed

Come back and tell me why
I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time
And meet me there tonight
And let me know that it's not all in my mind

(Taylor Swift)
I just want to know you better know
you better know
you better now
I just want to know you
know you
know you

(Both)
Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name,
everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday
is everything has changed


(Taylor Swift with Ed in background)
All I know is we said hello
So dust off your highest hopes
All I know is pouring rain
And everything has changed
All I know is a newfound grace
All my days,
I'll know your face

(Both)
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

A Rocket To The Moon - Like We Used To

I can feel her breath as she's sleeping next to me
Sharing pillows and cold feet
She can feel my heart, fell asleep to it's beat
Under blankets and warm sheets

If only I could be in that bed again
If only it were me instead of him

Does he watch your favorite movies ?
Does he hold you when you cry ?
Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts when you've seen it a million times ?
Does he sing to all your music while you dance to "Purple Rain" ?
Does he do all these things, like I used to ?

Fourteen months and seven days ago
Oh, I know you know
How we felt about that night
Just your skin against the window
Oh, we took it slow
And we both know

It should've been me inside that car
It should've been me instead of him in the dark

Does he watch your favorite movies ?
Does he hold you when you cry ?
Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts when you've seen it a million times ?
Does he sing to all your music while you dance to "Purple Rain" ?
Does he do all these things, like I used to ?

I know, love
Happens all the time, love
You're on my mind, love
It happens all the time love, yeah

Will he love you like I loved you ?
Will he tell you everyday ?
Will he make you feel like you're invincible with every word he'll say ?
Can you promise me if this was right
Don't throw it all away ?
Can you do all these things ?
Will you do all these things
Like we used to
Oh, like we used to

Secondhand Serenade - Why

The buttons on my phone are worn thin
I don’t think that I knew the chaos I was getting in.
But I’ve broken all my promises to you
I’ve broken all my promises to you.


Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
me?


A phrasing that’s a single tear,
Iis harder than I ever feared
And you were left feeling so alone.
Because these days aren’t easy
Like they have been once before
These days aren’t easy anymore.


Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me…


I should’ve known this wasn’t real
And fought it off and fought to feel
What matters most? Everything
That you feel while listening to every word that I sing.
I promise you I will bring you home
I will bring you home.


Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?



Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me

Takaran Waktu Bagi Seorang Mahasiswa

            Waktu adalah hal yang tidak bisa dipisahkan dari kehidupan. Seiring berjalannya waktu maka berjalan pula kehidupan. Waktu akan terus berjalan maju kedepan tanpa bisa kembali kebelakang. Oleh karena itu banyak orang yang menganggap waktu merupakan hal yang berharga. Ada istilah yang timbul dimasyarakat yang bunyinya, “waktu adalah uang”. Dengan istilah tersebut, orang termotivasi bahwa membuang buang waktu sungguh merupakan hal yang sia – sia. Mereka akan dengan bersemangat terus bekerja dengan keras dalam pekerjaannya. Padahal kita tahu, hidup ini bukan hanya soal perkerjaan saja. Masih banyak hal yang harus dikerjakan seiring dengan waktu selain hanya memburu uang.
            Terbalik dengan pekerja yang memegang teguh istilah “waktu adalah uang”, banyak mahasiswa dewasa ini yang kehilangan kontrol waktu untuk dirinya sendiri. Mereka kebanyakan sibuk dengan kehidupan diluar kewajibannya sebagai seorang mahasiswa. Mungkin memang tidak semua mahasiswa, tetapi sebagian mahasiswa mengaku kurang bisa mengontrol waktunya untuk belajar. Bahkan seorang teman mengatakan dengan candaannya, ”Masuk universitas itu susah, jadi nikmati saja dulu waktu kita di universitas. Jangan buru – buru lulus”. Padahal jika ditelaah kembali dengan lulus cepat berarti dapat mengurangi beban biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk kuliah dan dengan bersungguh - sungguh mungkin bisa lulus dengan predikat cumlaude.
            Penting bagi seorang mahasiswa untuk bisa mengontrol waktunya. Kapan mereka harus memenuhi kewajibannya sebagai seorang mahasiswa, dan kapan baginya untuk memenuhi haknya sebagai manusia yang mempunyai kehidupan diluar kuliahnya. Dengan mengontrol waktunya, bukan tidak mungkin seorang mahasiswa dapat lulus dengan cepat dan mendapat predikat lulus dengan pujian namun tetap dapat bersosialisasi dan jalan – jalan bersama teman – temannya. Dan masih banyak hal yang dapat mereka lakukan jika mereka dapat mengontrol waktunya dengan baik.
Ada cerita tentang dua orang sahabat. Mereka berdua merupakan salah satu mahasiswa pergururan tinggi swasta di Bandung. Dari semester pertama mereka bersama menempuh perkuliahan walaupun berbeda kelas. Namun ada perbedaan yang mencolok diantara keduanya, yaitu salah satu dari mereka selalu pulang lebih awal selepas perkuliahan selesai dan yang satu lagi langsung menghabiskan waktunya untuk hanya sekedar nongkrong dan menghabiskan waktu dengan teman yang lainnya. Ditengah – tengah perkuliahan sekitar semester 5 atau 6, temannya yang selalu pulang lebih awal itu tiba – tiba memdapatkan nilai yang kurang baik untuk satu mata kuliahnya dan diharuskan mengulang tahun depan. Dan sahabatnya justru terus mendapat nilai bagus dan lulus dengan tepat waktu. Setelah ditelusuri, ternyata temannya yang selalu pulang lebih awal itu, setelah pulang kuliah dilanjutkan dengan bermain bersama teman – teman se-gengnya yang lain bahkan sampe seharian. Tugas - tugasnya terabaikan dan bahkan esoknya terkadang tidak dapat hadir di perkuliahan karena telat bangun dan kecapaian. Terbalik dengan temannya yang suka nongkrong dan menghabiskan waktu dengan teman yang lainnya. Dia bisa me-menej waktu yang dia punya agar dapat menghabiskan waktu dengan teman - temannya namun kewajibannya sebagai mahasiswa juga dapat terpenuhi.
Dari ilustrasi diatas, seorang yang dapat mengontrol dengan baik waktunya tidak akan kehilangan haknya sebagai manusia untuk bersosialisasi dengan manusia lainnya tanpa mengabaikan kewajibannya. Oleh karena itu, mengontrol waktu bagi seorang mahasiswa menjadi penting jika mereka ingin mencapai kesuksesan baik dalam pemenuhan kewajibannya sebagai seorang mahasiswa serta dalam menjalankan haknya sebagai manusia yang punya kehidupan lain selain perkuliahannya.

Semoga bermanfaat.
