Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics:
Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Good Grief" | Following strict song-titling logic, this song should be called "Watching Through My Fingers" or "I Miss You". However, I can see where the band is coming from; this is an upbeat song about mourning a friend's death, so "Good Grief" is a very appropriate title. - Jonathan S. |
| "Pompeii" | While Pompeii is rather obviously alluded to as "the city that we loved", the song does not explicitly mention the word "Pompeii" - Insertnamehere |

Misrhymed Song Lyrics:
"Pompeii"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: I was left to my own devices,
Many days fell away with nothing to show. (later) We were caught up and lost in all of our vices, In your pose as the dust settled around us. (later) But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like you've been here before? Why They're Misrhymed: "Devices" and "show" don't rhyme. Neither does "vices" and "us", or "all" and "before".
