Favorite Song Line

[cymbline]

I thought of this today coming home from work, while jamin' to the radio. There are many threads of different quotes, but we don’t, I don't think we do, have a favorite song quote: A line from your favorite song.

I'll start


"My shadows the only one that walks beside me"

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams~Green Day

 

[cymbline]

Oh we were dancing mouths open
Splashing tongue taste
For a moment this good time would never end


Stay~Dave Matthews Band

 

[omahaman2]

"When the eagles forget how to fly, when it's 20 below in July, and then violets turn red and roses turn blue, I'll be still in love with you."
Brian McKnight

 

[montrealgirl]

"Between the horses of love and lust
we are trampled underfoot" (So Cruel, U2)

"I'm so alone tonight
My bed feels larger than when I was small
Lost in memories
Lost in all the sheets and old pillows
So alone tonight
Miss you more than I will let you know
Miss the outline of your back
Miss you breathing down my neck" (Out to Get You, James)

"You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
and then dance and drink and screw
'because there's nothing else to do" (Common People, Pulp)

***sorry - there is no way I could chose just one...just three was pretty difficult

 

[scumbag]

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

 

[cymbline]

From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
We have more than everything
More than man or machine
More than luck
More than fiction
Higher than any religion

yesterday to tomorrow~Audioslave

I love all the lines in this one...


Memories of Us
Songwriter: Rodney Crowell
Performed by: Keith Urban


I'm gonna be here for you baby, I'll be a man of my own word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever and I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust makin' memories of us

I wanna honor your Mother and I wanna learn from your Pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you, a man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust makin' memories of us

We'll follow the rainbow wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day comin' your way
I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise, if there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss, mmmmm-humm

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust makin' memories of us
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust makin memories of us

"Really love your peaches, want to shake your tree"

Steve Miller - The Joker

 

[Denae]

And I'm not even into fishin'

from Fishin' in the Dark-Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (and it's more than one line)

You and me going fishing in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows

Down by river in the full moon light
We’ll be falling in love in the middle of the night
Just moving slow

Staying the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you

 

[Quoll]

Beth Hart ~ I'll stay with you. ( I so love this song)

"Now you can rest in your time of need
I am here when it's hard to breathe"

 

[wanderer2704]

One of my favourites at the moment is from You're Beautiful by James Blunt:

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.


Partly because it often happens to be, but I rarely have a plan!

Modest Mouse "The View"

if lifes not beautiful without the pain, well I'd just rather never ever, ever even see beauty again.
As life gets longer, awful feels softer, and it feels pretty soft to me.
If it takes shit to make bliss, well I feel pretty blissfully.

I can in no way be considered a country music fan but heard this while looking at cds in a store and the words by jeff bates said exactly what i have tried to convey
to a certain someone for a long time!

How long has it been?
How long have you held it in?
An' how long will you wait,
Before you let somebody take your breath away again?
I wanna be the one who turns you on,
Makes love till the lonely's gone.
Be the man you dreamed of all your life.
I swear I'll make it last until,
Tears of joy come pourin' from your eyes.
I wanna make you cry.
Tell me what to do,
And I'll do what you want me to.
'Cause darlin' I believe,
That I have fallen hopelessly and helplessy for you.
I wanna be the one who turns you on,
Makes love till the lonely's gone.
Be the man you dreamed of all your life.
I swear I'll make it last until,
Tears of joy come pourin' from your eyes.
I wanna make you cry.
Instrumental break.
I swear I'll make it last until,
Tears of joy come pourin' from your eyes.
I wanna make you cry.
I wanna make you cry.

Thanks to all who have posted so far.
So much meaning in so few lines.





Cause we're going to need more
Than money and science
To see us through this world

Another track I love....BackStreet Boys ~ ~ Incomplete


I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete​

Everything In It's Time - Corrine May


I've been feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved the finish line
There are a thousand reasons why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe

I love the verse from this song but I especially feel connected to the lines in bold.

 

[Guest]

Another wonderful track....Amazed By LoneStar


don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you​

 

[Burokrat]

"AND IN THE END, THE LOVE YOU TAKE IS EQUAL TO THE LOVE YOU MAKE."

The Beatles on the last song of their last album, Abbey Road.

 

[jedi5]

The Streets - "Dry your eyes"

Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over

 

[babydoll2u]

sorry I can't pick one line...
I love them all, the entire song


This Kiss (sung by Faith Hill)

I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry
I don't want to learn the hard way
Baby hello, oh no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky...

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this--
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss.
It's that pivotal moment
It's impossible
This kiss, this kiss
(Unstoppable)
This kiss, this kiss

Cinderella said to Snow White
How does love get so off course?
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse.
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby, I'm forever yours

You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's let every thing slide
You got me floating, you got me flying

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this--
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss.
It's that pivotal moment
It's impossible
This kiss, this kiss
(Unstoppable)
This kiss, this kiss

"It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world"

Billy Joel, A Matter of Trust.

 

[WantonWitch]

Lean on me when you're not strong
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.

Chantz

 

[Andreina]

Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go

So make the best of this test
And don’t ask why
It’s not a question
But a lesson learned in time

It’s something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life


Good Riddance, Green Day
