Artist and title (and no Googling!)

1. You had my heart, and we'll never be worlds apart.
2. Ladies you’re damn right, you can’t read a man’s mind.
3. Got a picture of you beside me, got your lipstick marks still on my coffee cup.
4. I’m a rocket ship on my way to Mars, on a collision course.
5. When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep. Stuck in reverse.
6. Here we are and here we are and here we go, all aboard and we’re hittin’ the road.
7. Well I know that you’re in love with him cos I saw you dancing in the gym.
8. I thought that I heard you laughing; I thought that I heard you sing.
9. I don’t believe you, you’re not the truth. No one can look as good as you.
10. But when the day is done and the sun goes down and the moonlight’s shining through.
11. I can feel the warning signs running around my mind.
12. You know I can’t believe it when I hear that you won’t see me.
13. Why is everybody so serious? Acting so damn mysterious.
14. I walk into an empty room and suddenly my heart goes boom.
15. In this world we’re just beginning to understand the miracle of living.
16. You shout it out, but I can’t hear a word you say.
17. Just shoot for the stars if it feels right.
18. I trade my soul for a wish, pennies and dimes for a kiss.
19. Although there’s pain in my chest, I still wish you the best.
20. I don’t wanna die. But I ain’t keen on living either.
21. Thank you for coming home. I’m sorry that the chairs are all worn.
22. Sleight of hand and twist of fate, a bed of nails she makes me wait.
23. I’ve broken my heart so many times I stopped keeping track.
24. You hear the door slam and realise there’s nowhere left to run.
25. The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed.
26. It’s a crazy world but tonight’s the right situation.
27. Both of us were dreamers, young love in the sun.
28. Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet.
29. When I saw you there, sitting all alone in the dark acting like you didn’t have a care.
30. My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State.
31. Sippin gin and juice laying underneath the palm trees.
32. Every night every day just to be there in your arms.
33. Welcome to your life, there’s no turning back.
34. Yes, I’ve been broken hearted, blue since the day we parted.
35. We were born and raised in a summer haze, bound by the surprise of our glory days.
36. Thank god the week is done I feel like a zombie gone back to life.
37. Cos I just can’t look it’s killing me and taking control.
38. Don’t feel like picking up my phone so leave a message at the tone.
39. Some will win, some will lose, some were born to sing the blues.
40. You won’t find him drinking at the tables, rolling dice and staying out till three.
41. Why can’t you see what you’re doing to me when you don’t believe a word I say?
42. Cos you’re my lady, I’m your fool. It makes me crazy when you act so cruel.
43. Those three words are said too much. They’re not enough.
44. Only when I’m dancing can I feel this free. At night I lock the door where no one else can see.
45. And I would have liked to have known you but I was just a kid.
46. Ain’t no use in complaining when you got a job to do.
47. I learned to live half alive and now you want me one more time.
48. White lips, pale face. Breathing in snowflakes.
49. Damn, the doctor’s just finished telling me there’s no time.
50. Let’s go to the beach, each, let’s go get away.
