Favourite Song Lyrics

[MizzyBee123]

Thought i'd make up a thread where people can post their favourite lyrics from songs! I know I have loads of favourite lyrics and it would be cool to listen to some from other people!

A random one of mine is...

"Plain old Jane told a story 'bout a man who was too 'fraid of flyin' so he never did land" - Drops Of Jupiter, Train

and also...

"We could build a rocket and fly to the moon, leave Tuesday mornin' and be back for noon" - Once When I Was Little, James Morrison

It may be hard to believe but I'm not obsessed with flying. haha

[Symphony]

"don't wish, don't start, wishing only wounds the heart" - I'm Not That Girl from Wicked.

^ it's sort of my motto

"i know you're weighed down

you're fed up with your heavy

your boots

laced with melancholy notion's all you own..."

- Pistachio by Lisa Hannigan

"I shut the door and traveled to another home

I met an older man, he seemed to be alone

I felt that I could trust him

He talked to me that night;

Lad did you know a girl was murdered here?

This fatal tragedy was talked about for years"

- Fatal Tragedy - Dream Theatre

^ this song holds so many memories for me.

there's just a few of my favourites!

[xGlowingAngelx]

Shane Mack is probably up there in my top 3 songwriters/performers. Just a few: (Not the whole songs, just my fave parts picked out)

More Than This

I've burned a hole in, in the map I made

And I'm not sure what I missed

And I just make the same mistakes

Can I be more than this?

If this is all, if this is all we ever were

At least I loved enough to hurt

Enough to hurt

I played a fool, yeah I played a losing game

And let go of my innocence

And I don't know, I'll never be the same

Can I just be more than this? more than this?

If this is all, if this is all we ever were

At least I loved enough to hurt

Enough to hurt

I was standing in the rain, had my face in the mirror

And made nothing into bliss

And I found losing was just a trend

Yeah is there more than this?

*****

Break

Hey Prom Queen, what's your dream?

The cover of another dirty magazine

Like a pinball under a glass bowl

They pay, they play but hey they never call.

You're not the first and yet things can get worse

Different lover every night

But you were still alone.

Was college worth the knowledge?

You're waiting tables just like all your friends.

*****

Clean

I wanna feel good, I wanna fall in love

I wanna have some kids and watch them grow up.

I wanna lay down in the falling snow

And just let go...

When I close my eyes

I almost hear my mama saying,

"I once was lost, but I'll be found,

When I get clean."

*****

Lie To Me

Breathe, now baby don't feel guilty

Deceive me then just walk away

Leave me, the truth will only kill me

It's gotta be, it's gotta be this way.

And so you say you'll see me later

When you know you won't see me again.

*****

Remember To Forget

Well it's been three Decembers

And all I do is remember you, and you know

I remember when we met

You there on my bed.

And I remember when you said, "I never do things like this"

I remember every breathe right up until the day you left, oh

Baby I remember you

But I can't seem to remember to forget.

*****

Wreckage

I'll never walk on water

But I won't let you drown

I'm not a knight in shining armor

Not your teacher, not your father

And I'm not your consolation prize.

I'm not perfect

But I'm more than my mistakes

All my history is haunted

With these things I thought I wanted

I lost myself along the way.

If you ever have to leave here

And there's nothing I can do

I won't beg and I won't plead here

I'll just be glad I got to be here

To breathe here, for a while with you.

"Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And i would have stayed up with you all night

If i'd known how to save a life"

- The Fray 'How to save a life'

"And I know just where to touch you

And I know just what to prove

I know when to pull you closer

And I know when to let you loose

And I know the night is fading

And I know the time's gonna fly

And I'm never gonna tell you

Everything I gotta tell you

But I know I gotta give it a try"

- Air Supply 'Making love out of nothing at all'

Ooooh! Fun thread!!

First a random, I don't know why, to be honest.

"No one can move me the way that you do, nothing erases this feeling between me and you." - "I drove all night", originally by Cyndi Lauper I believe, but I'm talking about the Celine Dion version. Totally cheesy, yes I am.

But there are more...

"Life is beautiful, but it's complicated." - "Life is beautiful" by Vega 4

"Move along, move along, just to make it through" - "Move along" by The All-American Rejects

"You've gotta swim, swim in the dark,

There's no shame in drifting

Feel the tide shifting,

And wait for the spark

Yeah, you've gotta swim,

Don't let yourself sink,

Just find the horizon,

I promise you it's not as far as you think

The currents will drag us

Away from our love

Just keep your head above."

- "Swim" by Jack's Mannequin

"'Cause now I'm stronger than yesterday,

Now it's nothing but my way.

My loneliness ain't killing me no more,

I... I'm stronger"

- "Stronger" by Britney Spears

"Every time you think you won't make it

And each time you're convinced that you can't take it

Picture me in this light

Think of me, you can fight

[...]

We survive, we get by

We take the hit and we learn to fight

We collide, but we don't die

Trying to put out wildfires

When there's no doubt how it's going to turn out

Let them burn out, never put out wildfires"

- "Wildfires" by Alissa Moreno

"I, I'm a one-way motorway

I'm the road that drives away

Follows you back home "

- "Times like these" by The Foo Fighters

"The nights have been wild,

The days have been lazy.

I'm gonna

Miss you like crazy

'Cause it's the last day on the beach."

- "Miss you like crazy" by Briskeby

"Then you kiss me, and suddenly I don't care anymore." - "The kiss" by Karmina

"Here's to us,

One more toast,

And then we'll pay the bill

[...]

It's so strange, when you're down

And lying on the floor,

How you rise, shake your head,

Get up and ask for more

Clear-headed and open-eyes

With nothing left untried

Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run

There's no hurry anymore, when all is said and done."

- "When all is said and done" by ABBA

And my all-time favourite ever and for always!

"You were gonna be a doctor, movie star, poet at a Nobel seminar,

I hope the world never tore that out of you."

- "Our last night" by Better than Ezra

[Formerly Known as FKAJ]

A song that's been stuck in my head recently:

Two Worlds

Phil Collins

From the soundtrack to Disney's "Tarzan"

Put your faith in what you most believe in

Two worlds, one family

Trust your heart

Let fate decide

To guide these lives we see

A paradise untouched by man

Within this world blessed with love

A simple life, they live in peace

Softly tread the sand below your feet now

Two worlds, one family

Trust your heart

Let fate decide

To guide these lives we see

Beneath the shelter of the trees

Only love can enter here

A simple life, they live in peace

Raise your head up

Lift high the load

Take strength from those that need you

Build high the walls

Build strong the beams

A new life is waiting

But dangers no stranger here

No words describe a mothers tears

No words can heal a broken heart

A dream is gone, but where theres hope

Somewhere something is calling for you

Two worlds, one family

Trust your heart

Let fate decide

To guide these lives we see

[MizzyBee123]

"You've gotta swim, swim in the dark,

There's no shame in drifting

Feel the tide shifting,

And wait for the spark

Yeah, you've gotta swim,

Don't let yourself sink,

Just find the horizon,

I promise you it's not as far as you think

The currents will drag us

Away from our love

Just keep your head above."

- "Swim" by Jack's Mannequin

Eli, i agree i love that song and the lyrics too =]

[Dingo x]

YAY! Was just about to make a thread like this, but thought I better have a look one hasn't already been made.

At the moment I really love these lyrics:

You asked me, how long I'd stay by your side
And so I answered
With only just one reply

Til the casket drops
Til my dying day
Til my heartbeat stops
Til my legs just break
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Til the casket drops

- Til The Casket Drops - ZZ Ward

[MatildaHunterFan]

"You called me up again just to break me like a promise,

so casually cruel in the name of being honest" - All Too Well, Taylor Swift

"It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine" - Back To December, Taylor Swift

"Cause you can bandage the damage, you never really can fix a heart" - Fix A Heart, Demi Lovato

That's just what I could think of right now...

[Guest]

Round one I couldn't believe it
You came and knocked me out
With those killer eyes
You stopped my heart from beating
Without saying a word
Took me by surprise

You're like a rush to my head
I'm out of breath
I can't keep up this time
You're always one step ahead
Leave me for dead
Girl you're the best and that's why

You make me wanna stand out tonight
Turn out the lights, give up the fight
I surrender
You got me good, I knew that you would
Did the best that I could
But girl you move like a butterfly, butterfly
Then you sting like a bee
I tried to be bulletproof, you got to me
Gonna stand out tonight, turn out the lights
Give up the fight
I surrender

Round two, I think I'm only dreaming
This just can't be for real
You're right here with me
I just don't wanna wait
Don't take me from this place
Where I wanna be

You're like a rush to my head
I'm out of breath
I can't keep up this time
You're always one step ahead
Leave me for dead
Girl you're the best and that's why

You make me wanna stand out tonight
Turn out the lights, give up the fight
I surrender
You got me good, I knew that you would
Did the best that I could
But girl you move like a butterfly, butterfly
Then you sting like a bee
I tried to be bulletproof, you got to me
Gonna stand out tonight, turn out the lights
Give up the fight
I surrender

I surrender

Ding ding like a bell ring, throw the towel in
She's one step ahead of anything I bring
I mean I'm not afraid to admit to defeat
She completes me completely
I'm free just to be who I am
So I'm never going down
Just believe in these dreams or reality
The reason I'm breathing
I'm taken, so baby just take me down
With the love I'm chasing

You make me wanna stand out tonight
Turn out the lights, give up the fight
I surrender
You got me good, I knew that you would
Did the best that I could
But girl you move like a butterfly, butterfly
Then you sting like a bee
I tried to be bulletproof, you got to me
Gonna stand out tonight, turn out the lights
Give up the fight
I surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender-The Collective
