Lady Antebellum - Need You Now

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore.

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without.
I just need you now.

Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.

[...]

Oh, whoa
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.

Somebody That I Used To Know ( Gotye)

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

....

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

[nico88]

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
-Coldplay

I'd like to think I'm a mess you'd wear with pride- Band of Horses

I felt you leaving, before you'd even gone- The Black Keys

I'll be your black bird, darlin'
Hangin' on your telephone wire
Flap my wings on it
And set your heart afire
- Also by the Black Keys

[Rowen]

I'm just going to post some snippets (not the whole song), but here are some of mine...

"Now, the days have grown to years of feeling all alone. / She can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong. / Lately, she'd try anything to turn his head. / Would it make a difference if she said.. / Buy me a rose. Call me from work. / Open a door for me; would would it hurt? / Show me you love me by the look in your eyes. / These are the little things I need the most in my life." - "Buy Me a Rose" by Kenny Rogers

"For, diamonds do appear to be just like broke glass to me. / [...] / I missed your skin when you were East. / You clicked your heals and wished for me." - "Northern Downpour" by Panic at the Disco

"You're just too good to be true. / I can't take my eyes off of you. / You feel like heaven to touch. / I wanna hold you so much. / So, if you feel as I feel / Please let me know that it's real. / You're just too good to be true. / I can't take my eyes off of you." - Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons (Pretty much a perfect song)

"It's late in the evening. / She's wondering what clothes to wear. / She puts on her makeup. / And brushes her long, blonde hair. / And then she asks me / Do I look alright? / And I say yes. You look wonderful tonight." - "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton (Another perfect song)

"Well, Slo Jim Fizz works mighty fast / When you drink it by the pitcher and not by the glass, uh-huh." - "Portland Oregon" by Loretta Lynn

"'Cause the world don't stop / And actions speak louder. / Listen to your heart, and your heart might say / 'Everything we got, we got the hard way.'" - "The Hard Way" by Mary Chapin Carpenter (a favorite between Dave and I, although I don't listen to it anymore)

"It took so long to change my mind. / I thought that love was a game. / I played around enough to find / That no two are ever the same. / You made me realize the love I missed. / So hot, your love I couldn't quite resist. / When it's right, the light just comes shining through." - "Caught Up in You" by .38 Special

"You gave away the things you loved, and one of them was me." - "You're so Vain" by Carly Simon

"Like a king without a castle / Like a queen without a throne / I'm an early morning lover / And I must be moving on." - "Goodbye Stranger" by Supertramp

"Well, it's been building up inside of me for, oh, I don't know how long. / I don't know why, but I keep thinking something's bound to go wrong. / But she looks in my eyes and makes me realize / When she says 'Don't worry, baby.'" - "Don't Worry Baby" by The Beach Boys

"Turn it down, you say? / Well, all I gotta tell you is time and time again / I say no, no, no, no, no, no... / Tell me not to play? / Well, all I gotta tell you when you tell me not to play / I say no, no, no, no, no, no... / So, if you ask my why I like the way I play it / There's only one thing I can say to you / I wanna rock!" - "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister

There are many more, so I'll probably post again at some point. haha

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted. one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

Lose Yourself - Eminem

[Exeter19]

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

John Lennon


it's harder starting over,
than never to have changed.


i've become so numb, i can't feel you there
become so tired, so much more aware
in becoming this, all I want to do, is be more like me
and be less like you.


i've put my trust in you
pushed as far as I can go
for all this
there’s only one thing you should know

i tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn’t even matter
i had to fall
to lose it all
but in the end
it doesn’t even matter

Today my favorite song lyrics are...

"I'm miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And lays me down in your warm arms"
-Snow Patrol

[Exeter19]

we've come too far to give up who we are
so let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars

"I Hope You Dance"


I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance...

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I like Beatles lyrics a lot. They teach about life so much in few simple words. Like -
"Life is too short for pussing and fighting my friend."

"And in the end the love you take is equal to love you make"

Leona Lewis songs are cool too

I feel it on my skin, I wanna drink you in

[HeartIsAching]

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
Insecure delusion
I want to feel the change consume me
Feel the outside turning in
I want to feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured in
My shadow

[hatesthis]

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

- The Blower's Daughter -



When your education X-Ray
Cannot see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

- When I'm Gone -


I wanted to find somewhere to hide
And I opened up and left those fears inside
And I wanted to be anyone else
Only to find that there was noone there but me

But I woke up to real life
And I realised its not worth running from anymore
When there was nowhere left to hide I found out
That nothings real here but I wont stop now until I find a better part of me.

I let those hard days get me down
And all the things I hate got in my way
I could of screamed without a sound
I found myself silenced by those things they say.

- The Real Life -


A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me, yeah.

- Here Without You -



I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere
In the sands of time
But I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon

I feel there is nothing I can do

"It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy. / 'Cause, every now and then, I kick the living shit out of me." - "My Own Worst Enemy" by Lit

"But like heaven above me, the spy who loved me is keeping all my secrets safe tonight." - "Nobody Does it Better" by Carly Simon

"Was it something said that pushed you over the line? / Your best interests were in our minds. / You kept it so well hidden we never knew. / No one expected anything like this from you." - "Evil Genius" by Pat Benatar

"Happiness is a warm gun. / (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot) / When I hold you in my arms / And I feel my finger on your trigger / Nobody can do me no harm because / Happiness... (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)" - "Happiness is a Warm Gun" by The Beatles

[somehelp4me]

And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams

Like a rock - Bob Seger

[nico88]

"A ship on a voyage could sink in the deep.
A ship in the shallow could crack on the reef.
But only ashore is it safe where it is built
And only ashore is it useless.

Imagine the world without romance. Imagine the world without music.
Imagine the world without someone imagining..."

-GS Megaphone

[Exeter19]

with the lights out, it's less dangerous
here we are now, entertain us
i feel stupid and contagious
here we are now, entertain us
a mulatto
an albino
a mosquito
my libido
yay!
