Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. Every week they post a new topic and invite everyone to share their answers. I'm so obsessed with lists - so I obviously love this feature!

Top Ten Songs I Wish Were Books

1. Who Are We Fooling by Brooke Fraser feat. Aqualung

Better or worse 

But what else can we do? 

For better or worse 

I am tethered to you 

If it's not either of us 

Tell me who are we fooling?

2. Eavesdrop by The Civil Wars

Oh, don't say that it's over 

Oh, no, say it ain't so 

Let's let the stars watch, let them stare 

Let the wind eavesdrop, I don't care 

For all that we've got, don't let it go 

Just hold me

3. The Country by The Dirty Guv'nahs feat. Jill Andrews

Met her halfway to Birmingham 

Leaving middle Tennessee 

Made a speech to say inside my head 

Swore that I’d say everything 

 “I’ve been giving you my life, and I’m always on time 

Four years are enough to decide, whether I’m you’re kind.”

4. Near to You by A Fine Frenzy

You and I have something different 

And I'm enjoying it cautiously 

I'm battle scarred, I am working oh so hard 

To get back to who I used to be

5. Incomplete by James Bay

I breathe in slow to compose myself 

But the bleeding heart I left on the shelf 

Started speeding round, beating half to death 

Cause you're here and you're all mine

6. Get Up, Get Out by Jill Andrews

Cover up the war inside 

The most beautiful part of ourselves is the part we hide 

So get up, get up, get up and go on 

Just a little belief to shake off the doubt

7. Falling for Me by Johnnyswim

I'm a diamond in the rough and wild 

You're a heart that's just too wild and free 

I'ma looking for a hand to hold me 

You're just looking for a chance to bring me to my knees

8. Welcome Home by Joy Williams

Come inside from the cold and rest your weary soul 

You belong, you are loved, you are wanted 

You're not alone 

I've missed you so 

 Welcome home

9. Mama's Broken Heart by Miranda Lambert

I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors 

I screamed his name ‘til the neighbors called the cops 

I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver 

Don’t know what I did next, all I know I couldn’t stop

10. Make You Miss Me by Sam Hunt

The only reason that you're good at goodbye is 

Every boy you ever met was too easy to forget 

Well, I ain't going out like that...

Make you wish that you were sleeping in my shirt 

Lie about my jacket and tell everyone it's yours 

When your phone rings after midnight and you're thinking maybe it's me 
I'm gonna make you miss me
