So i was singing along in the car w/ my friend the other day and this lyric hit me

"Have you ever been alone in a crowded room" --Jack's Mannequin 'Dark Blue'

And I was wondering, what are some of everyone's favorite quotes from songs?

"Wishing wells were made to echo a dime" --Gavin DeGraw 'Cop Stop'

"Take a good look at my face. You'll see my smile looks out of place. If you look closer it's easy to trace the tracks of my tears" --Smokey Robinson 'Tracks of my Tears'

quote:

And who'd have thought that entertainment,
Lies in the winter of your discontent.

-Jamie Cullum (Get your way)

I like this idea. I have tons of favorite quotes from songs. It's insane. I just can't think of any right now. ha.

"I've been waiting all this time to be something I can't define so let's cause a scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet or something." (the format)

"Bright lights, big city, was quite extraordinary. The drive was pretty. I was in perfect company." (Jason Mraz)

those aren't very good ones. but i can't think of any off the top of my head haha. if i remember any i'll post them.

I hope this is the first song your heart has ever really heard
'Cus I wrote the music, baby you wrote the words

-Not Getting Your Name by Tyler

It's crazy how many lyrics from Tyler songs I love. He's such an amazing songwriter. Ok, he's an amazing everything, but especially songwriting. Ah, Tyler...

That's exactly the one I was gonna post when I saw the thread^
And how I love those words..:
"But When I look At You Baby, Something Seems To Whisper Home To Me" by Tyler <3
And the one You'll Ask For Me posted as well, from 'Not Getting Your Name'.

I'm gonna think of others and I'll post them

Thanks^^. I just got that CD and having been listening to it nonstop.

I am what you see, I am not what they say, but if I turned out to be, could you love me anyway?

-You'll Ask For Me by Tyler

Obviously my favorite song by Tyler, ever!

The All-American Rejects -->

"And all the perfect words they seem so wrong"
-One More Sad Song

"Stab my back
It's better when I bleed for you
You walk on me
It never was enough to do"
-Stab My Back

"The walls start breathing
My mind's unweaving
Maybe it's best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.
When darkness turns to light,
It ends tonight
It ends tonight."
-It Ends Tonight

"Take me break me
every mile further there's a part of me that slips away
One day you'll see
Even if you got down on your knees you couldn't make me stay"
-Night Drive

"I'll be fine, you'll be fine
this moment seems so long
Don't waste now, precious time
we'll dance inside the song"
-Dance Inside

"And all the things you put me through
I'm holding on by letting go of you

And when that memory slips away
There'll be a better view from here
And only lonesome you remains
and just the thought of you I fear
it falls away

Yesterday was hell
But today I'm fine without you"
-Straitjacket Feeling

"I need your grace, to remind me to find my own." - Snow Patrol "Chasing Cars"

"I'm hopelessly hopeful, you're just hopeless enough." - Fall Out Boy "I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth"

"And everybody tries to put some love on the line. And everybody feels a broken heart sometimes. And even when I'm scared I have to try to fly. Sometimes I fall, but I've seen it done before. I gotta step outside these walls." - Teddy Geiger "These Walls"

"Oh such grace, oh such beauty. So precious, suspicious, and charming, and vicious.
Oh darling, you're a million ways to be cruel." - OK Go "A Million Ways"


That's just some songs-n-bands I'm really moved by right now.

Aww yeah I love those words!

Tonight tenants range from: a lawyer and a virgin
Accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie
She's getting a job at the firm come Monday.
The Mrs. will stay with the cheating attorney
moonlighting aside, she really needs his money.
Oh, wonderful caricature of intimacy.

And not to mention, the constable, and his proposition, for that "virgin"
Yes, the one the lawyer met with on "strictly business"
as he said to the Mrs. Well, only hours before,
after he had left, she was fixing her face in a compact.


There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses.
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things.

'The Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction To Me' - Nik Kershaw ("Fiction")..Exactly what I feel.

I'll have to think about it! I'll post mine later...

Ok so here are some lyrics that i love :

for you, there'll be no crying
for you the sun will be shining
cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
Eva Cassidy => Songbird

With you beside me
I have won
I'm glad I've waited for so long
There is no doubt
That you are the one for me
Michelle Featherstone => We are man and wife

The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colors in your mind
Katie Melua => Spider's web

I am slowly falling apart
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start
And you might think it's easy being me
You just stand still look pretty
The Wreckers => Stand Still Look Pretty

He left a reminder with nine months to go
That's why I killed his wife and wrecked up his home
The Wreckers => Crazy People

And boy looking back I see I'm not the girl I used to be
When I lost my mind it saved my life
Mozella => Light Years Away

My little sister sings herself to sleep
She doesn't know we're listening to her lullaby
So innocent and sweet
Beverley Craven => Memories

You look like you're in another world but I can read your mind
How can you be so far away lying by my side
When I go away I miss you and I will be thinking of you
Every night and day
Beverley Craven => Promise Me

So let's pretend that for a moment we have never loved before
Touch my skin and I will kiss your lips
Terra Naomi => Never Quite Discussed

Don't Give Up, Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush ==> the whole song

Keep quiet,
Nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
And your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure every day.

I keep my jealousy close,
'Cause it's all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
Then I'm not the only one lying.

-Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner by Fall Out Boy
