I think music is the one of the greatest things ever. I have a billion favorite song lyrics, but these are some of the ones that have been tugging at my heart lately.... so I thought I would share them... and I hope you share yours as well.
"You've got all the love/ honey, baby, I can stand" -- 'Buckets of Rain'- Bob Dylan
"I will lie awake/ Lie for fun/ And fake the way i hold you/ Let you fall for every empty word i say"- ' Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis'- Brand New
"When you're flying high/ Take my heart along/ I'll be the harmony/ To every lonely song/ That you learn to play/ And when you're soaring through the air/ I'll be your solid ground/ Take every chance you dare/ I'll still be there/ When you come back down." --'When You Come Back Down'- Nickle Creek
"In every way you're beautiful/ From my heart" -- 'Praise & Adore'- Wavorly
"You are calm and reposed/ Let your beauty unfold/ Pale and white like the skin stretched over your bones/ Spring keeps you ever close/ You are second-hand smoke/ You are so fragile and thin/ Standing trial for your sins/ Holding onto yourself the best you can/ You are the smell before rain/ You are the blood in my veins" - 'The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot'- Brand New
"I ran off and ran on to something/ That I swore was anything but beautiful/ I only say that word for you"-- 'I Can Feel Your Pain'- Manchester Orchestra
"I used to be my own protection/ But not now/ 'Cause my path has lost direction/ Somehow" --'Valentine's Day'- Linkin Park
"When all our tears have reached the sea/ A part of you will live in me"-- 'Please Remember Me'- Tim McGraw
"It's in the way you sell/ Every word and phrase/ And leaving me to know/ how much the meaning weighs" -- 'Studying Politics' - Emery
"I remember that time you told me/ You said, 'Love is touching souls,'/ Surely, you've touched mine/ 'Cause part of you pours out of me/ In these lines from time to time"-- 'Case of You'- Joni Mitchell
"Every time I think of you/ I always catch my breath"-- 'Missing You'- John Waite
"With every mistake/ We must surely be learning"- 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'- The Beatles"
Oh how I hope that you're happy/ I hear you're somewhere in the sand/ And how I wish I was an ocean/ Maybe then, I'd get to see you again"--'Oceans'- The Format
"When everything inside me/ Looks like everything I hate/ You are the hope I have for change/ You are the only chance I'll take" --'On Fire'- Switchfoot
"What have we learned/ It's the same old things/ That drive us here/ And never go away/ We are changed"--'Eastern Glow'- The Album Leaf
"Go to him/ Stay with him if you can/ But be prepared to bleed" --'Case of you'- Joni Mitchell"
How are we deserving this pain we are feeling?/ How are we deserving this pain with healing?/ And on trails these symphonies of agony.../ Cant you see? We're still demanding self-pity./ Look to the moves of the things surrounding./ We're the only ones, the only ones who keep from growing." -- 'I Will Welcome the Reaping" -Oh. Sleeper
I tag Sadie and Jasmine :)

AT first I thought to myself, "what the hell did she tag me for...wait! What am I supposed to do?!" Then I realized I'll have to post song lyrics.
*Inhale* I must really like you... cause this going to take too damn long.
;)
Ha! Jasmine is so silly.
You have such wide interests in music Lauren...it's amazing really.
Also, I want to let you know that I will re-post this on my blog, but first I have to listen to some songs, go through i-tunes and listen to some long forgotten songs before I make such a momentous decision. This is serious business, picking songs that have helped define your soul...
