1.) “So I’ll take you to the beach/ And walk along the sand/ And I’ll make you a heart pendant/ With a pebble held in my hand/ And I’ll carve it like a necklace/ So the heart falls where your chest is/ And now a piece of me is a piece of the beach/ And it falls just where it needs to be/ And rests peacefully/ So you just need to breathe/ To feel my heart against yours now.” — “Wake Me Up”

2.) “When your legs don’t work like they used to before/ And I can’t sweep you off of your feet/ Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love/ Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?” — “Thinking Out Loud”

3.) “I saw a shooting star and thought of you/ I sang a lullaby/ By the waterside and knew/ If you were here, I’d sing to you.” — “All of the Stars”

4.) “And should this be the last thing I see/ I want you to know it’s enough for me/ Cause all that you are is all that I’ll ever need.” — “Tenerife Sea”

5.) “Take my hand and my/ Heart and soul, I will/ Only have these eyes for you.” —“One”

6.) “All I want is the taste that your lips allow.” — “Give Me Love”

7.) “And your heart’s against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck/ I’m falling for your eyes, but they don’t know me yet/ And with a feeling I’ll forget, I’m in love now.” — “Kiss Me”

8.) “My chest is a pillow for your weary head to lay to rest again/ Your body is my ballpoint pen/ And your mind is my new best friend/ Your eyes are the mirror to take me to the edge again.” — “Grade 8″

9.) “My uncle always said, ‘Hurry slowly.’ I guess [it means] have the intensity of love but don’t rush into it. Have the full feeling but take it slow. Ease into it.” — Elle interview

10.) “And it’s dark in a cold December/ But I’ve got you to keep me warm/ If you’re broken I will mend you/ And I’ll keep you sheltered from the storm that’s raging on now.” — “Lego House”

because Alexa WILL NOT call for help unless you’ve set it up this way first!

this woman was REALLY smart to do that, because otherwise the Echo thing would’ve done nothing. don’t think your Echo will respond to “call 911″ or “call the cops/ambulance/fire department” unless you’ve set it up with the numbers first, and certainly don’t think it’ll hear sounds of a struggle and call for help without a direct command. otherwise think of how many false reports it would make just from overhearing TV and movies being on!
