"A Better
Son/Daughter" by Rilo Kiley You'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up for work with a smile
And you'll be better, you'll be smarter
More grown-up and a better daughter or son
And a real good friend
"Learning to Fly" by
Tom Petty Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I started out for God knows where
But I guess I'll know when I get there
"Badlands" by Bruce
Springsteen For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face that ain't lookin' through me
I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these
badlands
"Country Mile" by
Camera Obscura I won't be seeing you for a long while
I hope it's not as long as a country mile

"Border Lord" by Kris
Kristofferson Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Taking any comfort you can find
Running like you're running out of time
Take it all, take it easy, 'til it's over, understanding
When you're headin' for the border, Lord
you're bound to cross the line
"Umbrella" by Rihanna When the sun shine, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
