Drugstore Perfume (Gerard Way)
She waits at windows/Her dreams don’t show in color/And she sleeps for now/She just waits around/Wishing she could leave/Single mothers in parking lots/And wear another girl’s evening out/This place let you down easy
"I can relate to desperately needing to get out of my hometown but I can't for a number of reasons so I'm trapped. You look around at a place that doesn't accept you and it's so bland and mundane. The world has drained all the creativity and color from yourself so all you can see is in black and white."
If I Die Young (The Band Perry)
If I die young/Bury me in satin/Lay me down on a bed of roses/Sink me in the river at dawn/Send me away with the words of a love song
"It’s such a gentle song about death. It probably was the first time I realized you didn’t have to be buried when you die and that even sad ends didn’t have to be sad when you remember them."

Lyrics:
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Lord, make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin'
Funny when you're dead, how people start listenin'
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Oh-oh, (oh-oh)
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh
Songwriter: Kimberly Perry
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls

One Safe Soul (Josh Wilson)
You are solace in the storm/You are rest when I am worn/You are words when I can’t speak /You are song when I can’t sing
"It’s more a personal thing I guess but my boyfriend asked me if I listened to Josh Wilson and then told me I was his “one safe soul” and I cry every time I listen to it because that’s so goddamn sweet"
If I Die Young (The Band Perry)
If I die young/Bury me in satin/Lay me down on a bed of roses/Sink me in the river at dawn/Send me away with the words of a love song
