your favorite song lyrics?
 

I'm obsessed with music. I put song lyrics EVERYWHERE. My IM profile was full of them, they were e-mail signatures, and I even had them written on my wall once. They start out every entry in my online journal too. :)

So what are some of your favorite song lyrics? Make sure to include the song and artist - I'm always looking for new music to download!

As of right now, this is the song stuck in my head:

And it all comes down to what we're feeling now
And I know what I see when I look into your eyes
I'm inside you
And you don't even know it
Deep inside of you
And it's time to show it
Deep inside of you...
- The Clarks, "Inside You"

there is already a very long thread about this :)

haha...I'm surprised I didn't come across it earlier. I've been going through all the old threads this week. It's pretty slow at work. :) Oh well.

I know there's already another thread about this, xok85xo, but there were bunches of us who didn't get the chance to weigh in there, so I'm going to continue it on this new, fresh one.

First off, there's a correction that needs to be made about a post on the last thread. The song "Romeo & Juliet" was incorrectly attributed to the Indigo Girls. It is actually a Dire Straights song that Amy Ray covered on the Indigo Girls' Rites of Passage album.

Now, for some of my favourites.

When I say "You sucked my brain out,"
The English translation is,
"I am in love with you and it is no fun."
-Ani DiFranco, "Dilate," Dilate

To love another person is to see the face of God.
-Fantine & Eponine, "Finale," Les Miserables

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand.
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command;
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand,
For the times they are a-changin'.
-Bob Dylan, "The Times, They Are a-Changin," The Times, They Are a-Changin'

Oh, you set up your place in my thoughts;
You moved in and made my thinking crowded.
-Indigo Girls, "Mystery," Swamp Ophelia

I was brought into this life a little lamb,
A little lamb courageous, stumbling.
Fearless was my middle name,
But somewhere there I lost my way.
Everyone walks the same,
Expecting me to step
The narrow path they take.
They claim to walk unafraid.
I'll be clumsy instead.
Oh my, love me or leave me high.
REM, "Walk Unafraid," UP

And this is just to start out... I'm really bored at work today, so this could get long.

Ill throw a few in here.Song lyrics are just awesome.

"A star up in the sky goes slowly passing by,
The lights below...they spell out your name.
You're comfort on my mind and you're with me all the time.
And lot's of feeling that I can't explain.

I won't spend another night alone.

Out of every girl I meet, no other can compete
I'd ditch em all for a night with you.
I know you don't believe you mean this much to me
But I promise you that you do.

If I had one wish this is what it would be...
I'd ask you to spend all your time with me,
That we'd be together forever.
We'd buy a small house in south central L.A.
Raise lots of kids then we'd both join a gang
Just as long as we're together.

The things you make me wanna do
I'd rob a quik-e-mart for you
I'd go to the pound and let all the cats go free
Just as long as you'd be with me."
The Ataris-I wont spend another night alone

More later, i just love that song

I agree KappaKittyCat-Old threads are great, but there are so many NEW people on GC, it's nice to hear their opinions. Plus-sometimes after consideration, opinions change!:)

I probably posted this on the old thread, but my son gave me a BackStreet Boys CD (YES, I really like them!) On it is a song called The Biggest Fan- it taks about a son thanking his Mom for always being there and cheering him on. Can you say misty eyed? Sweetest gift ever---well, next to some of the pictures and poems he wrote when he was a tyke!

I'll post the lyrics, can any of you other '80's people guess the song and artist?

I would say I'm sorry if I thought that you would change your mind
But I know that this time I have said too much, been too unkind

Misjudged your limit, pushed you too far

Took you for granted, not that you need a reminder

I would do most anything to have you back by my side

But I just keep on laughing, hiding the tears in my eyes...

:)

"Have you ever seen a woman coming out of New York City with a frog in her hand?" - Gavin Friday (not that I know what the lyrics mean!)

"There's a lot of opportunities - if there aren't you can make them." - Pet Shop Boys, "Opportunity"

I have an odd array...
"And twilight descends on our sillhouettes/ How soon spring comes/ How soon springs forgets!"-some Jewel song, can't remember the title

"Let me drink deeply from the water and the wine/ Light colored candles in dark dreary mines/ Learn to read books in the studies of men/Born on the breeze, but die in the wind." Elton John "This song has no title"

"Oh how I wish I could take it all down to my grave/ God knows I'd save and save/Hey man take a look again the things you have collected/In the end they all pile up so tall to one big nothing, one big nothing at all."-DMB "Seek Up'

This thread is cool. Let's restart or continue the old one!!

I'M GONNA GET FREE
I'M GONNA GET FREE
I'M GONNA GET FREE
RIDE INTO THE SUN
SHE NEVER LOVED ME
SHE NEVER LOVED ME
SHE NEVER LOVED ME
WHY SHOULD ANYONE?

the vines

I'm calling the shots all the nos and the nots because i wanna
The hives

I said everything would be just fine, it was a great big lie, so i left that night
The Strokes

Rock and Roll mudddaphakas

Jennifer Lopez Ain't It Funny (not with Ja Rule)

It seemed to be like the perfect thing for you and me
It's so ironic you're what I had pictured you to be
But there are facts in our lives we can never change
Just tell me that you understand and feel the same
This perfect romance that I've created in my mind
I'd live a thousand lives each one with you right by my side
But yet we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance
And so it seems like we'll never have the chance

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny
And you can't move on even though you try
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel
Oh I wish this could be real
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part
In the story of your heart


Sometimes I think that a true love can never be
I just believe that somehow it wasn't meant to me
Life can be cruel in a way that I can't explain
And I don't think that I could face it all again
I barely know you but somehow I know what you're about
A deeper love I've found in you, and I no longer doubt
You've touched my heart and it altered every plan I've made
And now I feel that I don't have to be afraid

I locked away my heart
But you just set it free
Emotions I felt held me back from what my life should be
I pushed you far away
And yet you stayed with me
I guess this means
That you and me were meant to be

ok Tracy what is the song-it is driving me crazy :)

so many lyrics, so little time

but you know, I'm really one of those people that goes for the sound of the music rather than the lyrics.

"We're only immortal for a limited time." -Rush, "Dreamline"

one my ex-boyfriend used to love:

It was long after midnight
When we got to unconditional love
She said "Sure, my heart is boundless
But don't push my limits too far."
I said "If love was so transcendant
I don't understand these boundaries."
She said "Just don't disappoint me,
You know how complex women are."

-Rush, "Cold Fire"

and the song "Carve Away the Stone" by Rush is about me, but it'd get too long if I posted it all here.

I've been listening to a lot of Incubus lately, and I absolutely love "Warning":

Bat your eyes girl,
be otherworldly.
count your blessings,
seduce a stranger.
What's so wrong with
being happy?
Kudos to those who
see through sickness.
When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."

I suggest we
learn to love each-
other before it's
made illegal.
When will we learn?
When will we change?
Just in time to
see in all fall down.
Those left standing...will make millions
...writing books on the way it should have been.
When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."

Floating in this
cosmic jacuzzi
we are like
frogs oblivious
to the water
starting to boil.
No one flinches,
we all float face down.

When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."

"And we never failed to fail...It was the easiest thing to do..."
-The Southern Cross
CSN&Y

(Actually just kidding, but I think it's kinda funny)

Went to see Aerosmith last night, so here's what's in my head now:

Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist

:D

I love Joe Perry.

And if my life were a movie
You'd be buried in the credits
You'd be woman number 2
With her head up her a**

Mike Errico

Seriously can you go wrong with Next - Too close


I wonder if she could tell I'm hard right now, hmmm
Yeah, come on, dance for me baby, ha ha, yeah
Ut oh, you feel that? Alright
Come on, don't stop now
You done did it, come on, uh, yeah, alright, hold on

{1} - Baby when we're grinding
I get so excited
Ooh, how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh, you're dancing real close
Cuz it's real, real slow
(You know what you're doing, don't you)
You're making it hard for me

All the songs on you requested
You're dancing like you're naked
Oh, it's almost like we're sexing (oh yeah)
Yeah boo, I like it
No, I can't deny it
But I know you can tell
I'm excited, oh girl

{2} - Step back you're dancing kinda close
I feel a little poke coming through
On you

Now girl I know you felt it
But boo, you know I can't help it
You know what I wanna do

{Repeat 1}

Baby us dancing so close
Ain't a good idea
Cuz I'mma want you now and here
The way that you shake it on me
Makes me want you so bad sexually
Oh girl

{Repeat 2}

Now girl I know you felt it
But boo, you know I can't help it
You know what I wanna do

{Repeat 1}

{Repeat 1}

I love when you shake it like that, ah, ah, ah
I see that you like it like that, oh, oh, oh
I love when you shake it like that, ah, ah, ah
I see that you like it like that, oh, oh, oh

{Repeat 1 while:}

I like the way you move
You're making me want you
Oh the way you move
I like those things you do
But you're a little too close

{Repeat 1 until fade}

"I love you like a fat kid loves cake"-50 Cent

i said that to my mom once after hearing that

Because boys don't cry... ;)
Gotta love The Cure!

My fave. . .
 

It happened in Monterey, a long time ago, I met her in Monterey, in old Mexico
Stars and steel guitars and luscious lips, as red as wine
Broke somebody's heart and I'm afraid, that it was mine
It happened in Monterey, and without thinking twice
I left her and through away, the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart, longs for the sweetheart that I left in old Monterey.
"It Happened In Monterray" by Frank Sinatra


Wise men say only fools rush in/but I can't help falling in love with you\Shall I stay\would it be a sin\If I can't help falling in love with you
"Can't Help Falling In Love" by Elvis Presley

Hang my head/Drown my fear\Till you all just\Disappear
"Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden

Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about
Somebody else
It's best if we all keep it under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good
"Back 2 Good" by matchbox twenty

Well I can't ever really believe\No one was sent to get me\And I feel like I'm being erased\No one got left here
"No One" by Cold

And I'd give up forever to touch you\Cause I know that you feel me somehow\You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be\
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment\And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over\I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me\Cause I don't think that they'd understand\When everything's made to be broken\
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming\Or the moment of truth in your lies\When everything feels like the movies\
Yhea you bleed just to know you're alive
"Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls

I'm all about quotes and music... so here goes...


this has been in my head lately... I guess cuz it sorta describes my situation right now w/ my girlfriend perfectly...

"take away, my fears
just so I can face another day
wipe away, my tears
and tell me everything's gonna be okay

would you lie to me,
would you cover up my eyes,
would you tell me so I'm not so surprised?
I wish you'd shelter me, I wish you'd bring me in again
cuz I know this time that I've reached the end..."
Bonehead (now known as Familiar 48) -- "I Know"

"and you my friends
I will defend
and if we change
well, I loved you anyway"
Alice In Chains -- "No Excuses"

"and how many times have your friends let you down?"
Our Lady Peace -- "Life"

There are just SO many more... but that's a start for now...

this is only part of the song

"Did you ever look, did you ever see that one person,
and the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much like choking down the embers of a great blaze.
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
and to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds.
You let this one person come down in the most perfect moment.
And it breaks my heart to know the only reason you are here now is
A reminder of what I'll never have
I'll never have... I'll never...
Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in.
Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in.
But this table for one has become bearable.
I now take comfort in this, and for this, I cherish you.
Did you ever look, did you ever see that one person
and the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much like choking down the embers of a great blaze.
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
and to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds.
And you let this one person come down, come down.
I cherish you...I cherish you.
Just say you would do the same for me.
Just say you would do the same for me.
Say you would do the same...
Just say you would do the same for me.
For as much as I love autumn,
I'm giving myself to ashes"

-"Short Stories with Tragic Endings", From Autumn to Ashes

TOO MANY
 

I have so many songs that I love and I'm sure that it would take all day so I'll just post the one that is fresh in my mind (cause I was listening to it this morning)

Bowling For Soup (Life After Lisa)
"All i got to say is there ain't no f***ing way that your getting me to say I'm Sorry...not today.

:Chorus:
No more mountian climbing in the rain
No more long hair clogging up the drain
No more, life will never be the same
Life after Lisa is not so bad at all"

November Rain
 

"When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this auch a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one"

My Favorite Lyrics
 

I'm feeling crossed
I take it inside
Burn up the pain
My thoughts are strange
Just like the things
I used to love
Just like the tree that fell
I heard it
If art is still inside
I feel it

I wanna bleed
Show the world all that I have inside
I wanna scream
Let the blood flow that keeps me alive

Take all these strings
They call my veins
Wrap them around
Every fucking thing

Presence of people
Not for me
Well I must remain in tune
Forever
My love is music
I will marry melody

I wanna bleed
Show the world all that I have inside
I wanna scream
Let the blood flow that keeps me alive

Won't you let me take you
For a ride
You can stop the world
Try to change my mind
Won't you let me show you
How it feels
You can stop the world
But you won't change me

I need music
I need music
I need music to set me free
To let me bleed

"Bleed" by Cold

TOO MANY GREATS
 

i LOVE this thread. i ALWAYS put songs in my away messages (its better than "i'm tying my shoe right now" "i'm in the bathroom...now i'm doing this, 5 min from now i'll be here" etc etc etc).

SONG OF THE MOMENT: Makin Out- No Doubt

I'm on the second floor with a lock on my door
I'm looking at a picture of your face
The last time I looked you were looking really good
But somehow pictures fade

Then we're on the phone and we're all alone
But that just ain't good enough
I go around the world to see your face
'Cause this just ain't good enough

So I'm just kicking it
I'm counting the days
I hardly can wait
For us to hang out
I'm really missing it
In so many ways
I anticipate us making out

(Here comes another one)

Sip my morning tea but you're not next to me
Here goes another day
I'm driving in my car
I wonder how you are
When our favorite music plays

And there are flowers above to my surprise
But that just ain't good enough
And I got the note
It gave me hope
But that just ain't good enough

So I'm just kicking it
I'm counting the days
I hardly can wait
For us to hang out
I'm really missing it in so many ways
I anticipate us making out
[Repeat]

Yeah...

Ooh oohh
Ooh oohh
Ooh oohh

Soon you'll be here with me (making out...)
Soon you'll be right here with me

I'm with my friends 'till the night ends
But that just ain't good enough
And honestly you can trust me
But that just ain't good enough

So I'm just kicking it
I'm counting the days
I hardly can wait for us to hang out
I'm really missing it in so many ways
I anticipate us making out
[Repeat twice]

I have four songs!

First one is Incubus- Stella. I absolutely love this song, its so deep.

Meet me in outerspace
We could spend the night, watch the earth come up
I've grown tired of that place, wont you come with me
We could start again
How do you do it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew
Meet me in outerspace
I will hold you close, If your afraid of heights
I need you to see this place, It might be the only way
That I can show you how, it feels to be inside of you
How do you it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew
How do you do it, make me feel like I do
Do oh oh oh oh oh
You are stellar
You are stellar
How do you it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew
How do you do it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, make me feel like I do, Yeah.

#2: Incubus- Wish You Were Here. Makes me think of all of my friends that I miss this summer. :(

I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy .happy

I wish you were here

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's, I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy. happy

I wish you were here

The world's a roller coaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air
I wish you were here.
I wish you were
I wish you were here

#3: India.Aire- Strength, Courage, and Wisdom. One of my personal themes.

Inside my head there lives a dream that I want to see in the sun
Behind my eyes there lives a me that I’ve been hiding for much too long
‘Cause I’ve been, too afraid to let it show
‘Cause I’m scared of the judgment that may follow
Always putting off my living for tomorrow
It’s time to step out on faith, I’ve gotta show my faith
It’s been illusive for so long, but freedom is mine today
I’ve gotta step out on faith, It’s time to show my faith
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found

Chorus
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it’s been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me

Behind my pride there lives a me, that knows humility
Inside my voice there is a soul, and in my soul there is a voice
But I’ve been, too afraid to make a choice
‘Cause I’m scared of the things that I might be missing
Running too fast to stop and listen

It’s time to step out on faith, I’ve gotta show my faith
It’s been illusive for so long but freedom is mine today
I’ve gotta step out on faith it’s time to show my faith
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found

Chorus
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it’s been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me

Bridge
I close my eyes and I think of all the things that I want to see
‘Cause I know, now that I’ve opened up my heart I know that
Anything I want can be, so let it be, so let it be….

Chorus
Strength, courage, and wisdom
It’s been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, wisdom
It’s been inside of me all along, everyday I’m praying for…

Chorus
Strength, courage, and wisdom
To find me, yeah,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me

Vamp
I found it in me, I found it finally
I’m sure to keep it’ cause I like it, I say thank you

#4. the last one. Angie Stone- Brotha for all my strong black mens out there (white men too :p)

(Verse 1)
He is my King, He is my one
Yes he's my father, Yes he's my son
I can talk to him, cuz he understands
Everything I go through and everything I am
That's my support system, I can't live without him
The best thing since sliced bread,
Is his kiss, his hugs, his lips, his touch
And I just want the whole world to know, about my..

(Chorus)
Black Brotha, I love ya, I will never - try to hurt ya
I want ya, to know that, I'm here for you - forever true
Black Brotha, strong brotha, there is no - one above ya
I want ya, to know that, I'm here for you - forever true

(Verse 2)
He's misunderstood, some say that he's up to no good around the neighborhood
But fo' your information - alot of my brothers got education (now check it)

Whenever you facin doubt, brothas gon work it out
I'm so proud of you (I got my shakable faith in ya)

I LOVE INDIA.ARIE!!!
My roommate got me into her last year.
My fav song: Video
Verse 1
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don’t
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won’t
Depend of how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

Chorus
I’m not the average girl from your video
And I ain’t built like a supermodel
But I learned to love myself unconditionally,
Because I am a queen

I not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I’m wearing I will always be
India.Arie

Verse 2
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it’s suppose to be
And I know my creator didn’t make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my Lips, my eyes, I’m loving what I see

Chorus

Verse 3
Am I less of a lady if I don’t where panty hose
My momma said a lady ain’t what she wears but what she knows…
But I’ve drawn the conclusion, it’s all an illusion
Confusion’s the name of the game
A misconception, a vast deception,
Something got to change

Now don’t be offended this is all my opinion
Ain’t nothing that I’m saying law
This is a true confession
Of a life learned lesson
I was sent here to share with y'all
So get in when you fit in
Go on and shine
Clear your mind
Now’s the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
‘Cause everything’s gonna be alright

Chorus

Out
Keep your fancy drink, and your expensive minks
I don’t need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive cars and your caviar
All’s I need is my guitar

Keep your crystal and your pistol
I’d rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don’t need you silicone, I prefer my own
What god gave me is just fine…

Chorus

"Queen of Hollywood" by The Corrs is about me...

She drove a long way through the night
From an urban neighborhood
She left her mother in a fight
For a dream misunderstood
And her friends they talk on corners
They could never comprehend

But there was always something different
In the way she held a stare
And the pictures that she painted
Were of glamour and of flair
And her boyfriend though he loved her
Knew he couldn't quite fulfill
He could never meet her there

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood

And the cynics they will wonder
What's the difference with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
All believing in TV
They see their handprints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
She's believing in a dream
Queen of Hollywood It's a loaded fantasy

Now her mother collects cut-outs
And the pictures make her smile
But if she saw behind the curtains
It could only make her cry
She's got hand prints on her body
Sad moonbeams in her eyes
not so innocent a child

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
Queen of Hollywood No she's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes and even though she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
She's the Queen of Hollywood and
Her friends still talk On Corners
She's the Queen of Hollywood


I love Sarah McLachlan's "Possesion"

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?

and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear

Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word to find
the truth enslaved
oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear

Into this night I wander
it's morning that I dread
another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread
oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied

and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes...

and "I Love You"

I have a smile stretched from ear to ear
To see you walking down the road
We meet at the lights, I stare for a while
The world around us disappears
It's just you and me on my island of hope
A breath between us could be miles
Let me surround you, a sea to your shore
Let me be the calm you seek

But everytime I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away

And I forgot to tell you
I love you
And the night's too long
And cold here
Without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the words to say
I need you so

And everytime I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away

And I forgot to tell you
I love you
And the night's too long
And cold here
Without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the words to say
I need you so

and "Paper Bag" by Fiona Apple

I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances
Were approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
-I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag
-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
Cuz I know I’m a mess he don’t wanna clean up
I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
And I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn’t stay, wouldn’t put his lips to mine,
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
I said, ‘Honey, I don’t feel so good, don’t feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void,’ - he said
‘It’s all in your head,’ and I said, ‘So’s everything’ -
But he didn’t get it - I thought he was a man
But he was just a little boy
-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
Cuz I know I’m a mess he don’t wanna clean up
I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
Cuz I know I’m a mess he don’t wanna clean up
I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

I have a ton more, but this is long enough!
and I'm not counting musicals because .... there are way too many!

My favorite lyric is just one line from "I hope you Dance" by Leeann Womack

**Lovin' might be a mistake, but its worth makin'**

My favorite rush shirt when I was in school was one that had these lyrics on the back. It really fit my chapter perfectly, because you know, we were the ones where everyone could just be themselves and "get in where they fit in."

Now for my favorite song lyrics of the moment:

"I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now

Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything..."
~Evanescence- Fields of Innocence

I LOOOVE BNL.

Some current favourite lyrics from Maroon:

"I can't help anyone 'cause everyone's so cold
Everyone's so skeptical of everything they're told
And even I get sick of needing to be sold
Though it's only half a month away, the media's gone
An entertaining scandal broke today, but I can't move on
I'm haunted by a story and I do my best to tell it
Can't even give this stuff away, why would I sell it?
Everybody's laughing, while at me they point a finger
A world that loves its irony must hate the protest singer"
- from Helicopters

"You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own
Don't admit defeat
He came down from his retreat
She saw him later on the street
He said "You are the only one
to recognize that I'm the son"
So she bent down and kissed his feet
And that night between the sheets she told him"
- from Baby Seat

"It goes like this, we have to choice
the minarets, the wailing voice
And vaguely Celtic music fills the air
We choose a foreigner to hate,
The new Iraq gets more irate
We really know nothing about them,
and no one cares
Aladdin and the forty thieves
Enhanced by brand new special effects
Saddam and his cow disease spiced up
With some gratuitous sex
A movie's made, a war is won
A low-speed chase, a smoking gun
Distracts us while the actor takes the stand"
- from Sell Sell Sell



And my favourite - the Hidden track
"Suddenly
Things become unsound
Stumbling
On the shaky ground
Given arrows to shoot tornados down
Shoot them down
To the ground

Saw a falling leaf
Good luck - jump to grab
Much to our surprise
A butterfly
And itÂ’s sunkeness
In duration
In duration
In our lives

Inside oursleves
A hidden sun
That burns and burns
Never does any harm to anyone

Shivering
Madly in the dark
Like an animal
Abandoned in the car park

Then she held me
And then she showed me
The beauty of
The human heart

Inside ourselves
A hidden sun
That burns and burns
Never does any harm to anyone

A hidden sun
That burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
Anyone
Oooh anyone
Hidden sun "

Hidden Sun

Here are the Lyrics to two songs that helped me through some tough times.

I have a problem that I cannot explain,
I have no reason why it should have been so plain,
have no questions but I sure have excuse
I have no reason why I should be so confused.

I, I know, how I feel when I'm around you
I, don't know, How I feel when I'm around you.
(Roulette, System of a Down.)


Song 2

I don't want you to give it all up
and leave your whole life collecting dust
and I don't want you to feel sorry for me
you never gave us a chance to be
I and I don't want you to be by my side
and tell me that everythings allright
I just wanted you, to tell me the truth
you know I'd do that for you!

so why are you running away
why are you running away.

So I did enough to show you that I
was willing to give and sacafrice
and I was the one you was lifting you up
when you thought your life had had enough
when I get close you pull away
there's nothing that I can do or say
so now I need you to tell me the truth
you know I'd do that for you!

so why are you running away?
why are you running away?

is it me? is it you?
nothing that, I can do
to make you, change your mind,

is it me? is it you?
nothing that, I can do
is it a waste time?

is it me? is it you?
nothing that, I can do
to make you, change your mind!
NO!

so why are you running away?
why are you running away
(what is it I have to say)
Why are you running away?
(to make you admit you're afraid)
Why are you running away?

(Running away by Hoobastank)
