Favorite Song Lines

[Dink Meeker]

I know these lyrics are dated , but they still always stick with me...


or to fly to the sun,
Without burning a wing, to lie in a meadow,
And hear the grass sing. To have all these things,
In our memories hoard, and to use them,
To help us, to find the lost chord...

Moody Blues

[AccioNiffler]

If only I had more time, I'd take you where you wanted to go.
Looking Back on Today, the Ataris

Please don't let me go falling from the sky
The "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out
If only you could be right here by my side
Home wouldn't seem so far from here
Takeoffs and Landings, the Ataris

Can I call you sweetheart or even baby doll?
If I had your number, you'd be getting a phone call
Can I leave you a message on your machine?
Letting you know that you're the bomb
And you blew up on me...

Do your feet hurt? Did you fall from heaven?
'Cause you've been running through
My mind all day
My mind don't mind
Do Your Feet Hurt, MxPx

[Broccoli]

Just one of my favourite songs at the moment:

Knights in white satin, never reaching the end
Letters I've written, never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed, with these eyes before
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you, yes I love you, oh, how I love you

Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end
And I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you

Moody Blues

[Broccoli]

Sorry, nights not knights

[Meg Boyd]

Crack my head open on your kitchen floor
To prove to you that I have brains
Meanwhile tin men are led by little girls
Down golden roads that lead to nowhere

Fine time to fake a seizure
Feel your mouth on mine, you're saving me

Whatever happened to that silly dream you had?
I want to make it real
I'd love to rub your back
Like a plane crash that never hits the ground
I fall in love with you
I'm nose over tail for you
Your voice like the sound of sirens to a house on fire
You're saving me

---by The Alkaline Trio...another great emo punk band...

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.

Kansas

this song says it all

[AccioNiffler]

That's such a great song! Have you ever seen Old School when the old man sings it?? It's hilarious! Made me like it even more!

[Theanna Glinn]

*i miss you more than words can say*
*love will survive, it twists and turns you*
*i love all the things that you do with each day*

*floating in the everglades
faces lit in sun
a moon that lights a thousand ways across
is caught beneath the one
would you come back for me?
would you shine out for me?
falling down from Grace
in houses made for one
holding matches till we burn away
ashes to the wind
would you come back for me?
would you shine out for me?
all for you, its all for you
always true with time passing by,
only you, always you
everytime we cry, we wave the sun g'bye
moonshine
desolate the renegades,
poisen tongues persuade
take the hand that carried you above
oceans to the grave*(one of my favs..dedicated to someone special to me)

*close your eyes and drift away to someplace new,
where the skies are blue brings back the child in you*

*comfort in sound its all around you now*[i]

*a sense of freedom fills your mind,
cant think about tomorrow because you feel youself
fall apart again, you hold your face between your aching hands
the angels twist and come flooding down again*

(ok, these are ALL Feeder quotes, but its an album i adore..obviously if i were to type all of the quotes from every song from every album i love i'd be here all night lol!! but i'll do it in parts so here's Feeder..soon to come, Muse, Travis, Simon and Garfunkel, David Bowie, Neil Young....umm....and many more

If You Asked Me To (sung by both Gladys Knight and Patti LeBelle; the one I'm most familar with was the one from the film The Living Daylights, though the other singer is more famous for it)

Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believed in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in
But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life, forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to
Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling, darlin', since I've found you
That I've found my home
That I'm finally home
I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darlin'
I said I needed, needed to be free
(But if you asked me to . . . )
Ask me to, I will give my world to you baby
I need you now
Ask me to, I'll do anything for you baby
For you baby
If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
If you asked me to . . .


I guess I like it because it describes the pain of heartbreak coupled with the willingness to love again, even if it means taking a chance.

Eyes on Me (from the famous FF VIII)
Composer: Nobuo Uematsu

Whenever sang my songs
On the stage on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling back at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar

My last night here for you
Same old song, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you

Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer

So let me come close to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you

Darling, so share with me
Your love if you had enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming

This is definitely one of the most romantic love songs I've heard

[Broccoli]

I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.

I never saw the white line, 'til I was leaving you behind
I never knew I needed you 'til I was caught up in a bind
I never spoke 'I love you' 'til I cursed you in vain,
I never felt my heartstrings until I nearly went insane.

I never saw the east coast 'til I move to the west
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off your breast
I never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal, tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face.

Tom Waits, San Diego Serenade

ATARIS LYRICS

"In This Diary"

Here in this diary,
I write you visions of my summer.
It was the best I ever had.
There were choruses and sing-alongs,
and that unspoken feeling
of knowing that right now is all that matters.
All the nights we stayed up talking
listening to 80's songs;
and quoting lines from all those movies that we love.
It still brings a smile to my face.
I guess when it comes down to it...

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
is just following your heart
and eventually you'll finally get it right.

Breaking into hotel swimming pools,
and wreaking havoc on our world.
Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the time.
The black top's singing me to sleep.
Lighting fireworks in parking lots,
illuminate the blackest nights.
Cherry cokes under this moonlit summer sky.
2015 Riverside, it's time to say, "goodbye."
Get on the bus, it's time to go.

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
is just following your heart,
and eventually you'll finally get it right

Note: I dont really like this band..well i think they are alright, but the lyrics of this song really reminds me of this summer oh the memories!!

Eric Clapton - Change the world

If I can reach the stars,
Pull one down for you,
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth:

That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems.
But for now I find
It's only in my dreams.

And I can change the world,
I will be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.

And if I could be king,
Even for a day,
I'd take you as my queen;
I'd have it no other way.

And our love would rule
This kingdom we had made.
Till then I'd be a fool,
Wishing for the day...

That I can change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

I could change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

[Meg Boyd]
