MUSIC: Favorite lines from songs (and why).
Shoutout to: Marie, Tim= = = = =
These are my favorite lines from songs because they describe what my life was and is like, more or less.
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right. And life has a funny way of helping you out when you think everything’s going wrong and everything blows up in your face. ~
Ironic, Alanis Morissette
So much for all the promises you made, they served you well. And now you’re gone and they’re wasted on me. ~
Rapid Hope Loss, Dashboard Confessional
Give me a reason to believe you, believe me. Give me feeling of relief or release me. Give me a heart that doesn’t break every time I see your face. ~
Mean, Gameface
Forget that time, it’s nothing we touch and see. All this is fine even as it crashes down on me. ~
As Long As It Matters, Gin Blossoms
When was the last time you did anything, not for me or anyone else, just because? ~
Just Because, Jane’s Addiction
Kiss me out of desire, not consolation. ~
Last Goodbye, Jeff Buckley
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life. I know you’ll be a sun in somebody else’s sky but why can’t it be mine? ~
Black, Pearl Jam
Don’t tell me I haven’t been good to you. Don’t tell me I have never been there for you. Just tell me why nothing is good enough. ~
Good Enough, Sarah McLachlan
You and me, meant to be. Immutable. Impossible. It’s destiny. Pure lunacy. Incalculable. Inseparable. ~
Stand Inside Your Love, Smashing Pumpkins
Maybe redemption has stories to tell. Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell. Where can you run to escape from yourself? ~
This Is Your Life, Switchfoot
It’s under my skin but out of my hands. I’ll tear it apart but I won’t understand. I will not accept the greatness of man. ~
Woman in Chains, Tears for Fears
Sometimes I think I understand the fear in the boy, the fire in the man. Sometimes I watch the wonder in your eyes; that and you leaving I have memorized. ~
Roosterspur Bridge, Tori Amos
You say you want your love to work out right, to last with me through the night. You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold, your story to remain untold, your love not to grow cold. But all the promises we break from the cradle to the grave — when all I want is you. ~
All I Want Is You, U2
