I love the lyrics to Split Screen Sadness by John Mayer, but the actual song, not really.
Anyone know a song rather similar to the lyrics only it sounds less boring?

Ah... my apologies.... here they are.

John Mayer - Split Screen Sadness
And I don't know where you went when you left me but
It says here in the water you must be gone by now
I can tell some how
One hand on the trigger of the telephone
Wondering when the call comes
You say it's all right
You got your heart right
Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on your porch til' you come back home
Oh, right
I can't find a flight
We share the sadness
The split screen sadness
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
All you need is love, is a lie cause
We had love but we still said goodbye
Now we're tired, battered fighters
And it stings when it's nobody's fault
Cause there's nothin' to blame at the drop of your name
It's only the air you took and the breath you left
Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on your porch 'til you come back home
Oh, right
I can't find a flight
So I'll check the weather wherever you are
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
It might be my only right
We share the sadness
The split screen sadness
We share the sadness
Split screen sadness
I called
Because
I just
Need to feel you on the line
Don't hang up this time
And I know it was me who called it over but
I still wish you'd fought me 'til your dying day
Don't let me get away
Cause I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me
So I can say that this is the way that I used to be
There's no substitute for time
Or for the sadness
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
The split screen sadness
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
We share the sadness
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
The split screen sadness
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Oh and the sadness it's a ride, it's a ride
(Repeats to fade)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, like I love the lyrics, but the song just seems so... dull. AMV watchers will lose attention easily. Still, if I can't find another one, I guess I'll go with this. Go to JohnMayer.com and go to the Music and Lyrics section under the album Heavier Things to listen to a little clip of the song (although it's only the chorus being said over and over again, it still gives you the overall feeling. That whole medi-ocre style or whatever it's called.)

mneh, most of the stuff I listen to don't deal with that kind of stuff anymore. However, Sonata Artica's incredibly cheesy Tallulah
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember when we used to look how sun set far away'
And how you said: "this is never over"
I believed your every word and I quess you did too
But now you're saying : "hey, let's think this over"
You take My hand and pull me next to you, so close to you
I have a feeling you don't have the words
I found one for you, kiss your cheak, say bye, and walk away
Don't look back cause I am crying
I remember little things, you hardly ever do
Tell me why.
I don't know why it's over
I remember shooting stars, the walk we took that night
I hope your wish came true, mine betrayed me
You let my hand go, and you fake a smile for me
I have a feeling you don't know what to do
I look deep in your eyes, hesitate a while...
Why are you crying'
Tallulah, It's easier to live alone than fear the time it's over
Tallulah, find the words and talk to me ,oh, Tallulah,
This could be... heaven
I see you walking hand in hand with long-haired drummer of the band
In love with her or so it seems, he's dancing with my beauty queen
Don't even dare to say you hi, still swallowing the goodbye
But I know the feelings still alive- still alive
[Solo]
I lost my patience once, so do you punish me now
I'll always love you, no matter what you do
I'll win you back for me if you give me a chance
But there is one thing you must understand
[Chorus]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blind Guardian's Maiden and the Minstrel Knight, which is based off of an old folklore story too...
The Maiden And The Minstrel Knight
The faithful crowd is gathered here
Soon they'll appear
The high and mighty show up the king
Is in doubts
"Apart from this beggar here
There's no one like you my dear
Tasting my lips
No one but you and him"
Round the fire everyone should sing
And praise the gracious queen
Round the fire everyone should dance
And we praise the handsome knight
Forever and ever we both will be one
The maiden, the fair and the young
Fell in love
Will you still wait for me?
Will you still cry for me?
Come and take my hand
Will you still wait for me?
Will you still cry for me?
Come and take my hand
There's a moment in life when all the years will pass by
And the eyes filled with tears we once shed
We recognize failures, the desperate cries
Of the ones who believed in our lies
Whenever I'll go you'll be with me
My first though and my last
Though we'll depart in bitterness
One day you'll understand
Carry on
Beloved maiden, mine
Carry on
Or we have to pay the price
Will you still wait for me?
Will you still cry for me?
Come and take my hand
Will you still wait for me?
Will you still cry for me?
Come and take my hand
Yesterday's memories and melodies
Are gone with the wind, so sad
Snow-white her hands and golden her hair
But she's not the one
Out in the emptiness where everything's pale
There is no sign of you, I'm alone
How I wish you would be here, I'm alone
Telling me it's alright, come rest (your head)
Come rest your head
Come rest your head
Come rest your head
Come rest your head
I'm alone and sadness reigns in my heart
As long as we live it won't go away
We are one but torn apart
Will you still wait for me?
Will you still cry for me?
Come and take my hand
Will you still wait for me?
Will you still cry for me?
Come and take my hand
Proudly it stands
Until the world's end
The victorious banner of love
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps Masterplan's When Love Comes Close
When Love Comes Close
She put a spell on him
She had his heart in her hand
And when she squeezed a litte bit too hard
She tore the boy to pieces
Looked into the mirror I was hypnotized
There was a different man
Staring back into my eyes
Went to the doctor but he could not see
Only the love of a woman would be medicine for me
I went for miles in the pouring rain
Losing her wasn't part of the game
So I took the time to look around and see
Cause there had to be a future that was meant for me
Love can take you to the sky
Love may leave you in a haze to die
And you will always know it's true
When love comes close to you
I gave away everything I had
Spent all my money, I got thirsty and mad
No life for losers when the winner steals the price
In the heartbeat of the city
I was forced to roll the dice
Love may blind you with its cry
Love can haunt you 'til the day you die
Be yourself and don't pretend
Broken hearts can always mend
Love can take you to the sky
Love may leave you in a haze to die
You will always know it's true
When love comes close to you
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
And also, and I'm sure I'm going to get a lashing from any prog-metal fan on this site for suggesting this, considering my abhorrent hate for prog-metal, but Dreamtheaters Love is a Space Dyed Vest
Space-Dye Vest
Falling through pages of Martens on angels
Feeling my heart pull west
I saw the future dressed as a stranger
love in a space-dye vest
Love is an act of blood and I'm bleeding
a pool in the shape of a heart
Beauty projection in the reflection
Always the worst way to start
[Sample is Julian Sands from the film "A Room With A View".]
"But he's the sort who can't know
anyone intimately, least of all a
woman. He doesn't know what a woman
is. He wants you for a possession,
something to look at like a painting or an ivory box.
Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real,
or to think or to live. He doesn't love you, but I love you.
I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and
feelings, even when
I hold you in my arms. It's our last chance... It's our
last chance..."
Now that you're gone I'm trying to take it
Learning to swallow the rage
Found a new girl I think we can make it
as long as she stays on the page
This is not how I want it to end
And I'll never be open again
[Sample from "The Trouble With Evan", from the Canadian series "The Fifth Estate".]
"...I was gonna move out...ummm...get,
get a job, get my own place, ummm,
but... I go into the mall where I
want to work and they tell me, I'm,
I was too young..."
[Sample is Jim Hill from a news commentary about the OJ Simpson freeway chase.]
"Some people, gave advice before,
about facing the facts, about
facing reality. And this is, this
without a doubt, is his biggest
challenge ever. He's going to have to face it.
You're gonna have to try, he's gonna to have to try and,
uh, and, and, and get some help here. I mean no one can
say they know how he feels."
[Sample from the Conan O'Brien show.]
"That, so they say that, in ya know
like, Houston or something, you'd
say it's a hundred and eighty degrees,
but it's a dry heat.
In Houston they say that?
Oh, maybe not. I'm all mixed up.
Dry until they hit the swimming pool."
[Sample from "The Trouble With Evan", from the Canadian series "The Fifth Estate".]
"...I get up with the sun... Listen.
You have your own room to sleep in,
I don't care what you do. I don't
care when. That door gets locked,
that door gets locked at night by nine o'clock.
If you're not in this house by nine o'clock, then you'd
better find some
place to sleep. Because you're not going to be a bum in
this house.
Supper is ready..."
There's no one to take my blame
if they wanted to
There's nothing to keep me sane
and it's all the same to you
There's nowhere to set my aim
so I'm everywhere
Never come near me again
do you really think I need you
I'll never be open again, I could never be open again.
I'll never be open again, I could never be open again.
And I'll smile and I'll learn to pretend
And I'll never be open again
And I'll have no more dreams to defend
And I'll never be open again

Well, here's one I've been liking a lot lately. It's sorta like that, thematically. Travis - "Happy to Hang Around". Could work better for an amv.
------------------------------
They were following me
They were following everyone
They had visions of me
Holding hands walking in to the sun?
Now people get down, people get down, people get hurt
When you did it to me
I was already in the ground
And I'll never get into your heart
Though I don't even want to start
I'll never get into your heart
I'm just happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
Take a picture of me
And show it to everyone
And no more pictures of you
No more love, no more setting sun
Now people get down, people get down, people get hurt
And when you did it to me
I was already in the dirt
And I'll never get into your heart
Though I don't even want to start
I'll never get into your heart
I'm just happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
And I'll never get into your heart
Though I don't even want to start
I'll never get into your heart
I'm just happy to hang around
Happy to hang around
