MizzyBee123 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symphony Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 "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 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 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. and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizzyBee123 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 "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' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Known as FKAJ Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo x Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatildaHunterFan Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 "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 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
