How I Failed Five Today

Didn't make him enough popcorn chicken. I should really know better by now.

Lyrics To Live By

Woke up late today and I still feel the sting of the pain
But I brushed my teeth anyway
I got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face
I got a little bit stronger

I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger

"Stronger"

How I Failed Five Today

I'm not always nice to him.

How I Failed Five Today

Haven't bought him those basketball sneakers I promised and the season is almost over and he'd really like to not be playing in a pair of sneakers that have a hole, an actual hole, in the side!

Lyrics to Live By

I've been beaten down,
I've been kicked around.
But she takes it all for me.
And I lost my faith, in my darkest days.
She makes me want to believe.

They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
She is love,
And she is all I need.
She's all I need.

"She Is Love"

PARACHUTE

How I Failed Five Today

Wouldn't buy him Burger King. I mean, how bad is it anyway?

Lyrics to Live By

I'll follow you into the park
Through the jungle, through the dark
Girl, I never loved one like you

Moats and boats and waterfalls
Alleyways and pay phone calls
I've been everywhere with you

That's true, laugh until we think we'll die
Barefoot on a summer night
Never could be sweeter than with you

And in the streets you run a-free
Like it's only you and me
Geez, you're something to see

Ah, home, let me go home
Home is wherever I'm with you
Ah, home, let me go home
Home is wherever I'm with you

"Home"

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

Lyrics to Live By

I got no money in my pockets
I got a hole in my jeans
I had a job and I lost it
But it won't get to me

'Cause I'm ridin' with my baby
And it's a brand new day
We're on the wheels of an angel
Flyin' away

How I Failed Five Today

Didn't! He forgot his folder on the kitchen table and tried to blame me. "Just kidding!" he said, with a laugh. Perhaps Five is growing up?

Lyrics to Live By

So, bless my heart
Bless my mind
I got so much to do, I ain't got much time
So, must be someone up above
sayin' come on girl!
You got to get back up!

You got to hold on...

"HOLD ON"

ALABAMA SHAKES

How I Failed Five Today

Let him stay home from school because his stomach hurt but wouldn't let him eat popcorn while he watched a movie.

How I Failed Five Today

Took my computer with me to Arizona.

Lyrics to Live By

When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished
And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
I know there's no need for me to panic
'Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me

When the skies are gray and all the doors are closing
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
When all I need's a hand to stop the tears from falling
I will find him, I'll find him next to me

"Next To Me"

EMILE SANDE

How I Failed Five Today

Wouldn't check the messages again to make sure school wasn't cancelled for a snow day.

Lyrics to Live By

Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we're miles away
So we'll come
We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
Carry on, carry on

"Carry On"

fun.

How I Failed Five Today

Wouldn't snuggle.

How I Failed Five Today

Threw out his current event article before he handed it in, because I thought he presented it two weeks ago. But I saved the day by printing a new one from the online newspaper! Only half a fail.

Lyrics to Live By

I've been trying to do it right
I've been living a lonely life
I've been sleeping here instead
I've been sleeping in my bed
I've been sleeping in my bed

So show me family
All the blood that I will bleed
I don't know where I belong
I don't know where I went wrong
But I can write a song

I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart

"Ho Hey"

THE LUMINEERS

How I Failed Five Today

Made him change out of the pajamas he slept in into new ones for Pajama Day. It was just ridiculous. Who cares if he's not wearing underwear?

Lyrics to Live By

The yellowed page of the books and books I'd forgotten that I had
These paperbacks they know their age they smell of weight and time that's resting warm
The opened box beside the endless box parade that haunts my house
Is fit to split with photographs that tell the wanderlust of years smashed onto years

When all this actual life played out
Where the hell on earth was I?
I rack my brains but it won't come

Through water damaged bloodshot eyes
The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies
All seem to mingle into one

I read your name under words in your elegant hand you probably don't mean now
I fold the letter and think of a million and one things that I could have done different
