1. Our Life Is Not A Movie or Maybe by Okkervil River
It's just a house burning,
but it's not haunted.
It was your heart hurting,
but not for too long, kid.
Dave's life sucks to the point that he breaks and makes his own reality. It's what makes you love him.

2. Wolf Like Me by TV on the Radio
My mind has changed
my body's frame but god I like it
my hearts aflame
my body's strained but god I like it
After the initial fiasco, as Dave discovers Kick Ass fans and the other "superheroes"

3. Keep the Car Running by The Arcade Fire
They know my name ‘cause I told it to them
But they don’t know where and they don’t know when
It’s coming, oh when?
But it’s coming, keep the car running
Teaming up with Red Mist and Big Daddy - Dave's terrified but he never lets it stop him. Even when he should.

4. Dust Bowl Dance by Mumford & Sons
Seal my heart and brake my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done and do my time

Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me
I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen
I went out back and I got my gun
I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"
He does learn that he's in way over his head, but by then it's too late, and he's so determined to be the hero.

5. Zero by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
No you're never, never far gone
So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on

You're a zero
What's your name?
No one's going to ask you
Better find out where they want you to go
Dave's double life and growing romance with Katie.

6. Start A War by The Nationals
We expected something, something better than before
We expected something more
You were always weird but I never had to hold you by the edges like I do now
You were always weird but I never had to hold you by the edges like I do now
Walk away now and you're gonna start a war
Kick Ass and Red Mist: the best archenemies are always friends.

7. Gimme Sympathy by Metric
Gimme Sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who would you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones
Seriously, you're gonna make mistakes, You're young
Come on baby play me something like Here comes the sun
Kick Ass and Hit Girl: Dave knows just how wrong it all is - but who is he to judge?

8. Our Swords by Band of Horses
Count on us all falling our own swords tonight
Chilling walk home down the portions roads there leading straight to your place
And look like the tin can with swallows the kitchen plugging up your space
Count on us all stepping on our own toes tonight
Count on us all stepping on our own toes
Count on us all follow our own swords tonight
The final prep for the final battle.

9. Your Protector by Fleet Foxes
You run with the devil
Tell your brother to be good
Tell your sister not to go
Tell your mother not to wait
Tell your father I was good
As you lay to die beside me, baby
On the morning that you came
Would you wait for me?
The other one would wait for me
Life After: Hit Girl and Dave picking up the pieces.
