Music moment: Emma wakes up in Sutton’s bed
Song: "The City That Sleeps"
Artist: Jessica Tonder
Lyrics:
When I wake up, I will wake up
I’ve been sleeping far too long
I will raise up to clean my days up
Well, baby good luck
You’re coming home
Final hours, captivating
Reaching for the light to come
So revealing for my heart beating
There’s just so much more to see
See the flashing lights screaming signs so bright
Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey
Music moment: Mads dances with her ballet teacher, Eduardo
Song: “Nutcracker Suite”
Music moment: Emma and Laurel drive to school
Song: “Don't Stop Now”
Artist: Vizzionkwest
Lyrics:
People change, I heard you say
You kiss my face and walked away
I’m calling you up to ask you why
‘Cause we could’ve changed this last goodbye
I’m saying all we were saving
Love’s not disaster forever after
Don’t stop now, I think we can turn this thing around
So baby, don’t stop now, I think we can turn this game around
Music moment: Emma apologizes to Nisha for punching her
Song: “Throw Me a Line”
Artist: IAMEVE
Lyrics:
There’s a big black hole in me in the center
Yelling help, please help, please help
It’s a dead end street in the heart of winter
Where only the wicked walk, where only the wicked walk, where only the wicked walk
There is magic in the city, she’s drowning in it quickly
Get there in time, throw me a line
Someone be kind
There’s a desert oasis where the sun has many faces
So there’s water on the moon
Throw me a line
Music moment: Mads and Char hang by the pool
Song: “It's Not Complicated ”
Artist: Miss Mercury
Lyrics:
Will I ever change this inability to arrange my life
Give me time, give me time
Will I overcome the sense I’m going to come undone
Don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t let me
Just bring me back to you, I want to feel you calling me across this empty sea
Just bring me back to you, it’s not a complicated issue
Just bring me back to you
Whatever happened to the promise we made
Music moment: Emma and Ethan have a clandestine dance lesson in a secluded spot
Song: “Letting Go ”
Artist: Sonia and Oskar
Lyrics:
Breathe, in and out again
Watch it all begin
Become a cell in this body now
Gone gone gone is the phobia
Far, far, far, is the memory
Of pain, pain, pain
Can’t remember who you are
Gone gone gone is the phobia
Far, far, far, is the memory
Of pain, pain, pain
Can’t remember who you are
You’re letting go letting go letting go (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Music moment: Ethan teaches Emma to dance in the country club
Song: “11/22”
Artist: Buddy
Lyrics:
Strangle your hold
Don't let me go
Until I want what you want
Pray for the strength
(To) keep it in place
Promise to God you won't
I've got faith in you to lose yours in me
Like you say though before you go
"I should probably be letting you go"
Acting the part
(Was) never that hard
Memorize the lines on your face now
I've got faith in you to lose all of mine
Like you say though before you go
"I should probably be letting you go"
Music moment: Emma arrives at the country club to meet Ethan
Song: “All She Could Be”
Artist: Sarah Solovay
Lyrics:
She’s gorgeous, the picture of perfection,
Every guy wants her to be his girlfriend,
Every girl longs to be her reflection
And she knows these two things….
When she smiles it lights up the whole world,
When she wants she flashes her shiny pearls,
She drops out of high school, and becomes a model,
Lives her whole life getting stuff for free….
Well she’s smart, but she doesn’t do a thing,
She could say a lot, but she don’t, she keeps her mouth shut,
In her heart, she knows she’s got more to bring,
She could love a lot, but she don’t she keeps her heart shut,
But what if she could open it up…
She was the prom queen,
Yeah, she was that girl,
So pretty but so mean,
Envied by the whole world…
Goes through guys like lattes,
Throws one out every morning,
Looking for love,
But not breaking her brick wall for anyone.
She sleeps in the day and lives in the night,
Parties till morning, cause fake friends make it all right,
Oh baby, what happens when your eighty,
And your pretty face has gone away….
Well she’s smart, but she doesn’t do a thing,
She could say a lot, but she don’t, she keeps her mouth shut,
In her heart, she knows she’s got more to bring,
She could love a lot, but she don’t she keeps her heart shut,
But what if she could open it up…
Music moment: The girls pose for photos with their dads upon arrival at the father-daughter dance
Song: “Wind Me Up”
Artist: Taxi Doll
Lyrics:
I don’t know that this urge is my love of control
But I’m letting it go, I’ll leave it behind me
I’m gonna leave it behind me
And I don’t know why it’s so easy to try
And it can’t let it fly
You have a way to remind me, another way to remind me
It’s your way, it gets to me
As you wind me up and you set me free
‘Cause you come to me with it all, I don’t need no other
Music moment: Mads and her dad argue about Thayer at the dance
Song: “Was It”
Artist: Malbec
Lyrics:
I'm lying here on the floor
Thinking out loud to walls,
Breathing slow and drawing fast
Conclusions that could never last,
If? When? Why? What?
How much have we got?
Dreams are sung to help me on,
God, oh god, what have I done?
What have I done?
Was it for me? Was it for you?
Was I too ignorant to choose?
Was it the will? Was it my way?
Was it a foolish thing to say?
Was it the heart? Was it the start?
Was it the time we spent apart?
Was it goodbye? Was it the lies?
Would've been easier not to try..
Was it for me? Was it for you?
What can we do?
Music moment: Emma dances with Sutton's father, Ted, at the father-daughter dance
Song: “Terrified”
Artist: Jordyn Kayne
Lyrics:
I’m moving fast while the world’s standing still
Creating wounds only I can heal
Why was it broken from the start
And I give it a chance to fall apart
I don’t’ remember asking for this
Asking for you or for that first kiss
Now I can’t breathe, now the rain’s falling down
And I’m ripped at the seams
Feels like I’m drowning in here with my tears
Reveal more than fears ‘cause I’m terrified
Who’s gonna save me when the tide pulls me out
If I have to fight I might need your help
When you’re ‘bout to give up
I’m the one who will pull you through
Heroes together, save the world, me and you
Nothing in life ever comes without risk
Can’t look back now ‘cause of that first kiss
Music moment: Emma recognizes Nisha’s famous football-playing father
Song: “Never Look Back ”
Artist: John Garrison
Lyrics:
A million come and gone
All narrowed down to one
The search is all over
I’m looking for no one
Let’s run and never look back
Let’s run and never look back
Let’s run, now I need no other
Let’s tear down the walls of this old town
And leave it all for the rest to run around and around
Feel it’s time with this fire inside
While we burn so bright that it feels so right
