My favorite set of lyrics are from a song called Jasey Rae, by All Time Low. They go:

I've never told a lie, and that makes me a liar
I've never made a bet but we gamble with desire
I've never let a match with intent to start a fire.
Call me a name, kill me with words, forget about me it's what I deserve,

I was just wondering what your favorite song lyrics are. Thanks!

It'd be so hard for me to chose a favorite because there a just so many. I'm an English Literature major and a HUGE music fan with an enormous collection... but for now, here are some that stick out in my mind:



Here's two very socially/politically conscious verses by Neil Young that always stuck out to me:

"Southern man, you better keep your head

Don't forget what you're good book says

Southern change is gonna come at last

Now you're crosses are burning fast"

- "Southern Man"



"I see a woman in the night

With a baby in her hand

Under an old street light

Near a garbage can



Now she puts the kid away

She's gonna take a hit

She hates her life and what she's done with it

That one more kid that'll never go to school

Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool"

- "Keep on Rockin In the Free World"

Beware, there will be a lot of Anberlin below. Favorite lyrics (from The Feel Good Drag -- Anberlin): "You were my greatest mistake I fell in love with your sin Your littlest sin Was this over before Before it ever began Your kiss Your calls Your crutch Like the devils got your hand This was over before Before it ever began Your lips Your lies Your lust Like the devils in your hands" Least favorite lyrics (from There Is A Light That Never Goes Out -- Anberlin): "And if a double-decker bus If it crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die Ten-ton truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine" Choosing the least favorite was so hard. Technically that song is a cover, but they're really very creepy lyrics, which is what made me choose them. BQ: (*Fin) -- Anberlin BQ2: Never Take Friendship Personal -- Anberlin

Gravedigger by Dave Matthews Band



Gravedigger,

When you dig my grave

Would you make it shallow

So that I can feel the rain



I like it because initially it sounds a bit strange. People are always like "Why would you want a shallow grave?" But when you listen to it in context, it's actually a very deep song.



The lyrics resound well with me, even if the song itself is not my favorite by the band.

Walk On Water or Drown-Mayday Parade.



And then I fell into pieces and she fell into me.

Saying play me a song it's been too long since I've heard you sing.

You got here just in time to let me know I was worth saving.

If nothing more than for the heart.

Too proud to breath but all too scared to say the things worth saying.

Who knew this trip would be this hard.

I think mine would have to be in Miserable at best by Mayday Parade

Lets not pretend like your alone tonight

i know he's there and

your probably hanging out and making eyes

well across the room he stares

i'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor and ask my girl to Danes she'll say yes...



and later "without you I'll be miserable at best.

the song is very beautiful and sad at the same time

"I never wanna dwell on the pain again.

It's no use relivin how I hurt back then.

Rememberin too well the hell i felt

When I was runnin out of faith.

Every step I take

Well its towards a better day."

-Keep Singing My Song by Christina Aguilera



"Or for anyone whose ever been through **** in they lives.

So they sit and they cry at night

wishin theyd die.

Till they throw on a rap record and they sit and they vibe.

We're nothing to you

But we the f+3king sh1t in they eyes.

Thats why we seize the moment

Try to freeze it and own it.

Squeeze it and hold it.

Cause we consider these minutes golden."

-Sing for the Moment by Eminem

Burning down neverland scatter the ashes

White lines black ties the mansions

Is this another death by misadventure,

Tell me what you got, what you really got

(Hey, Hey)

We’ll rest in our graves,

Lexington course your veins

Sleepers can't just wake the dead

When needles and lovers collapse on guilty beds



Burning down bridges now, scatter the ashes

Godspeed to all you're after

Is this a life left just to remember?

Tell them who you were, who you really were

Kill yourself slowly over time, fashion statement suicide

She's still asleep in a Chelsea hotel

Bad turn to worse, and the worst turns into hell

Mine are Told You So by Jesse McCartney! His new style songs....







Theres no reason your name should come up on my cell

unless your unhappy but that shouldnt be the case because you said

said he was the one baby yes you said said you were in love.

Grey skies and light fading

headlamps making patterns on the wall.

Uptown it's dead now but

out here, no one seems to care at all.

Slick girls and sick boys and

each one lining up to take it home.

They hold tight their coin and they pray no one has to see them fall.

I'm there, yeah, I serve them

the one with the empty-looking eyes.

Come closer, you'll see me

the face that is used to telling lies.



Take Me To The Riot - Stars



Haha, I memorized the lyrics. Lol. Nice imagery and the song itself is amazing.

almost lover by a fine frenzy



"Your fingertips across my skin

The palm trees swaying in the wind

Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies

The sweetest sadness in your eyes

Clever trick



Well, I never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me



Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do



We walked along a crowded street

You took my hand and danced with me

Images

And when you left, you kissed my lips

You told me you would never, ever forget

These images



Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me



Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do



I cannot go to the ocean

I cannot drive the streets at night

I cannot wake up in the morning

Without you on my mind

So you're gone and I'm haunted

And I bet you are just fine



Did I make it that easy

To walk right in and out of my life?



Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do."



i usually don't listen to song's like this, but it's a beautiful song.

Better watch out

Going for the knockout

And I won't stop 'till I'm on top now

Not gonna give up till I gets what mine

Better check that I'm about to upset

And I'm hot now so you better step back

I'm taking over, so watch me shine



Joanna Pacitti- Watch me shine :]

1.

you feel like a candle

in a hurricane

just like a picture

with a broken frame

alone and helpless

like youve lost your fight

but youll be alright

cuz when push comes 2 shove

you find wat ur made of

u might bend til u brake

cuz its all u can take

on your knees u look up

decide youve had enough

you get mad you get strong

wipe your hands shake it off

and you stand

2.

do you ever think

when youre all alone

all that we could be

where this thing could go

am i crazy or fallin in love

is it real or just another crush?

I listen to "I can't take it" and "fix you up" by tegan and sara. everytime i listen to it, it makes me think about my problems lie with my parents and it makes me cry cause i tend to numb my feelings.





so move

yeah move

so move

yeah move

i've got nowhere to go

i've got nowhere to go

so move

don't move so slow

i can't take it

i can

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

what do i

what do i

what do i need to do

to see myself in a better mood

and what do you

what do you

what do you need to do

to get yourself in a better mood



well there's not a lot for you to give

if you're giving in

and there's not a lot for you to feel

if you're not feeling it

you bring it up

and bring it in

and we'll get you fixed up in no time



what i wanted most

what i wanted most

what i wanted most

was to get myself all figured out

and what i figured out

what i figured out

what i figured out

was i needed more time

Everything from Secondhand Serenade is incredibly amazing lol!

But there is this wonderfully candid moment where he is talking about about just spending the day with the one he loves, and it's just random "My favorite color is blue" I just think that is sweet!
