Ome of my all time favorite lines. Is from Lynrd Skynrds Freebird. If I leave here tomorrow. Would you still remember me. Strong lyric! Makes you think.
 
I've called it in trouble
With good and bad news
And break-ups, yeah you name it
Sure I've got some friends I can call
They're always there if I need to talk
But good as they are, it ain't their fault
Sometimes I just need him
And sometimes I forget these ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore

- Dad’s Old Number, Cole Swindell
 
I am here and I see your pain
Through the storms, through the clouds, the rain
I'm telling you you cannot escape
You can do it, just feel baby
 
Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting
I'm through with doubt
There's nothing left for me to figure out
I've paid a price
And I'll keep paying it
I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell, can't bring myself
To do what it is you think I should
 
Joe Cocker’s version of you are so beautiful to me...

One of my few memories of my gran is her singing this to me- I don’t know how old I was, but she died when I was five so pretty young... it still makes me stop in my tracks...

Bon Iver, Skinny Love

"And i told you to be patient
And i told you to be kind
I told you to be balanced
And i told you to be fine"

Every time i listen to the song it resonates, because thats what i would say to my heart if i could
 
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven
(big association with my dad's passing)
 
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, it's only you and me.

Here without you ~ 3 doors down

"The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl"
 
"I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now

"Time stands still

"Summer's going fast
Nights growing colder
Children growing up
Old friends growing older

"Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger

"Experience slips away
Experience slips away
The innocence slips away"
 
I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on
 
So many to choose from but Father John Misty’s ‘Chateau Lobby #4(In C for 2 Virgins).

I wanna take you in the kitchen
Lift up your wedding dress someone was probably murdered in
 
You rise, you fall, you're down then you rise again
What don't kill you'll make you more strong
You rise, you fall, you're down then you rise again
What don't kill you'll make you more strong

Broken,Beaten,Scard- Metallica
 
And take everything I have
Until there is nothing left
Until it's just your voice in my head
And when the lights come on
You see me as I am
You're still inside me

Break in ~ Halestorm
 
Take It To The Limit by the Eagles

These lyrics always bring back memories that I will hold dear to my heart no matter how much they make me cry. The song was playing on the radio while I was with someone that is no longer around.


All alone at the end of the evening
When the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew
You know I've always been a dreamer
(Spent my life running 'round)
And it's so hard to change
(Can't seem to settle down)
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
And when you're looking for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you can't find the door
(Can't find it anywhere)
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're coming back, you're running back
You're coming back for more
 
Oh hell what about the Ideal Husband by Father John Misty? Maybe the best song written well, ever.

Every woman that I've slept with
Every friendship I've neglected
Didn't call when grandma died
I spend my money getting drunk and high
I've done things unprotected
Proceeded to drive home wasted
Bought things to win over siblings
I've said awful things, such awful things
 
Lookin' back I'd say, it wasn't so much the girl as it was the booze and the dope

Yuma Justin Townes Earle
 
Small wheel turn by the fire and rod
Big wheel turn by the grace of God
Every time that wheel turns round
Your bound to cover just a little more ground

The Wheel - Grateful Dead
 
Happiness won't leave me alone
Sings the bird in his nest
Get a load of this fucking view
It’s the best in the west

Sometimes a pony gets depressed - Silver Jews
