[Munchkin03]

All I want in life's a little bit of love to take the pain away
Getting strong today, a giant step each day
I've been told only fools rush in, only fools rush in
But I don't believe, I don't believe- I could still fall in love with you
I will love you till I die, and I will love you all the time
So please put your sweet hand in mine, and float in space and drift in time
All my time until I die, we'll float in space just you and I
So please put your sweet hand in mine, and float in space and drift in time
I'll love you to death, I guess that's what you get
And I don't know where we are all going to
Love don't get stranger, it is what it is
And I don't know where we are all going to
Everythung happens today, and that's what you get
And I don't know where we are all going to

--"ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space," spiritualized

I was talking, not two days ago
To a certain bartender I' lucky to know
And I asked Henry, my bartending friend
If I should bother dating unfamous men

And Henry said, "You're lucky to even know me.
You're lucky to be alive. You're lucky to be drinking here for free cause I'm a
Sucker for your lucky, pretty eyes."

And then he said, "Do you want to be a Polyester Bride?
Or do you want to hang your head and die?
Do you want to find alligator cowboy booths they just put on sale?
Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?"

I was sitting, not two days ago
Feeling lonely 'cause I'm just feeling low
And I asked Henry, my bartending friend
Why it is that there are those kind of men

"Princess, do you
Really want to flap your wings and fly...
Because you've got time."
He keeps telling me, "You've got time."
But I don't believe him
"You've got time."
I keep on pushing harder...
I keep on pushing farther away
But he keeps telling me, "Baby, baby, do you want to be a polyester bride?"
"Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?"

"polyester bride," liz phair

Papa Roach
Tight Rope

there is a thin line between what is good and
what is evil
and I will tiptoe down that line
but I will feel unstable
my life is a circus and I am tripping down the tightrope
well there is nothing to save me now
I'm falling to the ground down to the ground
all the way down.



I think we all can identify w/ this.

[IHeartAXO]

I'm going to go with my two favorite songs. Tiny Dancer, for one. That's just "my" song... and don't even get me started when Tim McGraw covered it! Hearing it live by Mr. McGraw was a happy happy moment.

"Blue jean baby, LA lady, she was a seamstress for the band, pretty-eyed, pirate smile, she'll marry a music man... ballerina, you must've seen her, dancing in the sand." It's so ME (aside from the seamstress for the band bit, but the rest describes me- well, hopefully I'll marry a music man )

And my favorite lyrics EVER (who cares if they don't relate to me?) come from my favorite John Mayer song "Comfortable." My most favorite lyrics are BOLDED. Beautiful song.

"I just remembered, that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
And rode down, aisle 5
You looked behind you to smile back at me
crashed into a rack full of magazines
They asked us, if we could leave.

Can't remember, what went wrong last September
but I'm sure that you'd remind me, if you had to

Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in

I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
my friends all approve, say 'shes gonna be good for you'
They throw me, high fives

She says the bible is all that she reads
and prefers that I not use profanities
Your mouth was, so dirty

Life of the party
and she swears that she's artsy
but you could distinguish
Miles from Coltrane

Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in
She's perfect, so flawless
or so they say, say

She thinks I can't see the smile that shes faking
and poses for pictures that aren't being taken
I loved you
grey sweat pants, no makeup, so perfect

Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in
she's perfect, so flawless
I'm not impressed, I want you back."

[LeslieAGD]

Jason Mraz
You and I Both

and it's okay if you have go away
just remember the telephone works both ways
and if I never ever hear it ring
if nothing else I'll think the bells inside
have finally found you someone else and that's okay
cause I'll remember everything you sang

[ThetaGirl1997]

This is my favorite song . . .

"In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel

Love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for out survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes

[AlphaGamDiva]

i keep on fallin
iiiin and out
with you
sometimes i love ya
sometimes you make me blue
sometimes i feel good
at times i feel used
lovin you darlin
leaves me so confused

iiii keep on fallin
in and out
of love
with you
i never
loved someone
th'way that i loved you

oh i never felt this way
how do you give me so much pleasure
but cause me so much pain
just when i think
i takin more than woulda fool
i start fallin, back in love with you

chorus--alicia keys, fallin

shattered dreams
worthless years
here am i encased a hollow shell
life begins
then is done
now i stare into a cold and empty world

the many sounds that meet our ears
the sights our eyes behold
will open up our achin hearts
and feed our empty souls

i believe when i fall in love with you it will be forever
i believe when i fall in love this time it will be forever

without despair
we will share
in the joys of care and will not be erased
what has been
must never end
and with the strenght we have won't be erased

when the trees of love are planted firm
they won't be hard to find
and the words of love i speak to you
will echo in my mind

chorus--stevie wonder, i believe

WYCLEF excuse me
if you see me screamin
cuz deep in my mind
i'm only dreamin
cuz if i wake, girl, and you're
not by my side
i feel like half of me
is no longer alive

so please, shorty
b/4 you walk out that door, booby
would you listen to my song

CLAUDETTE if only, i give you one last chance
with the devil
you can no longer dance
you've got to be faithful
so we could be fruitful
build a family
and follow God's destiny
so just b/4 i run to the block, poppy
i might to listen to your song

WYCLEF they say two wrongs don't make it right
so if i'm wrong
i ain't tryin to fight
i'm tryin to have some dinner with some candlelight
lay up in the bed and make love all night

CLAUDETTE so poppy i won't leave
maybe i'll just stay
just promise me that you'll do this thing

WYCLEF and i'm gon' love ya like i never loved
CLAUDETTE touch me like you never touched me
WYCLEF yo if you give me the chance, girl, i'm gonna show you

CLAUDETTE now baby understand
that i forgive you
i ain't forget that you brought me here

WYCLEF but i have grown
from a thug to a man
built my castle with bricks
and no longer with sand

chorus

CLAUDETTE can't see the sunshine no mo'
i'm so used to pain, baby, cuz
the sickness feels like the cure

WYCLEF but it won't here
you gave me
the keys to your soul
and let me in
i'm gonna love you over, and over again

chorus--two wrongs, wyclef and claudette (from city high)

So many Billy Joel Lyrics...

Uptown Girl, Piano Man, For the Longest Time, Always a Woman, Only the Good Die Young, Tell Her About It, Still Rock'n'Roll to Me, Hey Girl, She's Got a Way, If I Only Had the Words, We Didn't Start the Fire...

But the one that explains the most about my life:

You May Be Right

Friday night I crashed your party,
Saturday I said I'm sorry,
Sunday came and trashed me out again,
I was only having fun,
Wasn't hurting anyone,
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change.
I've been stranded in the combat zone,
Walked through Bedford Stuy alone,
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain,
And you told me not to drive,
But I made it home alive,
So you said that only proves that I'm insane.
You may be right,
I may be crazy,
But it just might be a lunatic you're looking for,
Turn out the light,
Don't try to save me,
You may be wrong for all I know,
But you may be right.
Remember how I found you there,
Alone in your electric chair,
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled,
You were lonely for a [wo]man,
I said, "Take me as I am,
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while."
Now think of all the years you tried to,
Find someone to satisfy you,
I might be as crazy as you say,
If I'm crazy then it's true,
That it's all because of you,
And you wouldn't want it anyother way.
You may be right,
I may be crazy,
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for,
It's too late fight,
It's too late to change me,
You may be wrong for all I know,
But you may be right.
You may be wrong,
But you may be right.

[moe.ron]

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need.
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street,
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed.
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight,
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.

And after a while, you can work on points for style.
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you
get older.
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man,
All alone and dying of cancer.

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw
around.
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone,
Dragged down by the stone.

I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused.
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used.
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise.
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this
maze?

Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend.
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun,
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.

Who was born in a house full of pain.
Who was trained not to spit in the fan.
Who was told what to do by the man.
Who was broken by trained personnel.
Who was fitted with collar and chain.
Who was given a pat on the back.
Who was breaking away from the pack.
Who was only a stranger at home.
Who was ground down in the end.
Who was found dead on the phone.
Who was dragged down by the stone.

Its so much better, when seafoam green is in fashion - Incubus

You gonna stay around till 2012 ad
what are you waiting for
a certain shade of green
I think a grew a gray watching you procrastinate
what are you waiting for a certain shade of green. - Incubus


Say what you will
Say what you mean
You could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean. - Incubus

Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring
And I'm thinking awful things
I'm pretty sure that few would notice.
And this apartment is starving for an argument.
Anything at all to break the silence. - dashboard

Don't you see, don't you see,
that the charade is over?
And all the "Best Deceptions" and "Clever Cover Story" awards go to you.
So kiss me hard
'cause this will be the last time that I let you.
You will be back someday
and this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips will be of service
to keeping you away. - dashboard

Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?
Basking in your victory,
hollow and alone
to boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen.
While you're left with nothing tangible to gain. - dashboard

[MeLikey]

Switchfoot has amazing lyrics...

There's always something in the way
There's always something getting through
It's not me
It's you
--"You"

It's all a dream
Life on a movie screen
And I'm sitting on the edge of my seat
I can't tell what happens next
-Edge of my Seat

I'm a plane in the sunset with no where to land
--"Let That Be Enough"

Do me a favor
Would you sing this to me slow?
Cause I'm thinking it's my song
--"Playing for Keeps"

Nothing but a chemical in my head
It's nothing but laziness
Cause I don't wanna read the book
I'll watch the movie
Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else my age
I think I'd rather play around
And I think I'd rather watch TV
Cause I don't wanna face my fears
I'll watch the movie
Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else
I'm just like everybody else
Because I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna see this now
It's all wrong but it's alright
And I don't wanna be here
And I don't wanna study now
It's all wrong but it's alright
I don't know what love is
I don't know who I am
And if I ever want to find out
I'll watch the movie
--"Chem6A"

And of course some Madonna--

Boys may come and boys may go
And that's all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me
--"Material Girl"

'N Sync God Must Have Spent (A Little More Time On You)

Yeah....
Oh yes
Ohhh..yeah..
Can this be true?
Tell me, can this be real?
How can I put into words what I feel?
My life was complete
I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losing control?
I never thought that love could feel like this
and you've changed my world with just one kiss.
How can it be that right here with me
there's an angel?
It's a miracle...


Your love is like a river
Peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret
That I could never keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must of spent...
A little more time
On you...
(A little more time, yes he did baby)


In all of creation
All things great and small
You are the one that surpasses them all
More precious than
Any diamond or pearl
They broke the mold
When you came in this world
And I'm trying hard to figure out
Just how I ever did without
The warmth of your smile
The heart of a child
That's deep inside
Leaves me purified

Your love is like a river
Peaceful and deep (and deep)
Your soul is like a secret
That I could never keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must of spent...
A little more time
On you...
(on you, on you, on you, you....on you, on you, on you, you..) ohhh...
(on you, on you, on you, you....on you, on you, on you, you..) yeah...

Never thought that love could feel like this
and you changed my world with just one kiss.
How can it be that right here with me
There's an angel?
It's a miracle...

Your love is like a river
Peaceful and deep (peaceful and deep)
Your soul is like a secret
That I could never keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must of spent...
A little more time
On you...
(on you, on you, on you, you..)
God must of spent...
A little more time
on you
(on you, on you..you....you..oooh..yeah)
A little more time
on you...ohhh


'N Sync This I Promise You

Ohh ohh...

When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..

And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...

Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you..
This I promise you..

Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...

And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby

Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you

Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you...

Frank Sintra's New York, New York

[GMUBunny]

My favorite lyrics from a song are from Live's "Dance With You":

The stillness in your eyes convinces me that I, I don't know a thing, and I've been around the world. And I, I drank up all the wines a half a million times. Came sick into your shores. You showed me what this life is for.
