there's a song that's inside of my soul
Just the best snippets of my faave lyrics. In no order but what I remember.


“wake up, look me in the eyes again
I need to feel your hand upon my face
words can be like knives
they can cut you open

and then the silence surrounds you
and holds you

I think I might've inhaled you
I could feel you behind my eyes
you've gotten into my bloodstream
I could feel you floating in me


the spaces in between
two minds and all the places they have been

--"Bloodstream," Stateless

 
this one's for the lonely
the ones that seek and find
only to be let down
time after time

this one's for the torn down
the experts at the fall
come on, friends, get up now
you're not alone at all

and this part was for her
this part was for her
this part was for her
does she remember?

it comes and goes in waves, I...

this one's for the faithless
the ones that are surprised
they're only where they are now
regardless of their fight

this one's for believing
if only for its sake
come on, friends, get up now
love is to be made

and this part was for her
and this part was for her
this part was for her
does she remember?

it comes and goes in waves, I
I'm only led to wonder why
it comes and goes in waves
I am only let to wonder why
why I try

this is for the ones who stand
for the ones who try again
for the ones who need a hand
for the ones who think they can„

--Greg Laswell, "Comes And Goes"
“was it always there, or contracted?
was it just the thought to which I was attracted?

the body speaks in chemicals,
a song and dance not visible

but I've been told don't go looking
'cause the tune was tuned to find you


distance drowns the signal
and the call of constellations,
I'm picking up the language that we lost

static in the air, no reception,
was it just a bad antenna
or your perception of the silence that surrounds you?

your ears will move to find it

don't go looking,
my heart was tuned to find you


--"Antenna," The Acorn

 
a falling star fell from your heart
and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them,
and now it's left me blind

the stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
you left me in the dark
no dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
in the shadow of your heart

and in the dark, I can hear your heart beat
I tried to find the sound
but then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
so darkness I became

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
and knew that somehow I could find my way back
then I heard your heart beating,
you were in the darkness too
so I stayed in the darkness with you„

--Florence + The Machine, "Cosmic Love"
“you don't want to hurt me,
but see how deep the bullet lies.
unaware that I'm tearing you asunder,
there is thunder in our hearts, baby
so much hate for the ones we love,
tell me, we both matter, don't we?

c'mon, baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
let me steal this moment from you now
c'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
let's exchange the experience,

and if I only could make a deal with god,
and get him to swap our places,

be running up that road,
be running up that hill, no problem

if I only could be running up that hill


--"Running Up That Hill," Placebo

 
and all the roads we have to walk are winding
and all the lights that lead us there are blinding
there are many things that I would
like to say to you
but I don't know how

because maybe
you're gonna be the one that saves me
and after all

you're my wonderwall„

--Oasis, "Wonderwall"
“well, we could've been, should've been
worse than you would ever know
(the dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
well, you told me about nowhere
well, it sounds like someplace I'd like to go

now here we go!

well, we scheme and we scheme,
but we always blow it

we've yet to crash, but we still might as well tow it
standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon,
every dawn, you're surprising,
and in the evening, one's consoling,
saying "see, it wasn't quite as bad as"

oh, it would've been, could've been
worse than you would ever know


--"Dashboard," Modest Mouse

 
but, we are okay, we are alright
we sing very loud,
yeah, we're singing
we are okay, we are alright
close our eyes, close our mouth
yeah, we shut our eyes though we're in doubt

build me a home from a cardboard box
many windows never locked
this is how we used to play
shorter nights and longer days
with faith we would not fade away„

--Joshua Radin, "We Are Okay"
“crawling on the ash, she's pitiful
she's lost her sense of light, she has to hold my hand
had I known we might be two kids without their jackets
my fear would come alive, I wouldn't love her now
she might not make it home tonight

--"Get Up, Get Up Get Up," Barcelona

 
I hear the bells down in the canyons
it’s snow in New York, some blue December
I’m gone to the moon, about to go and
I’m calling to you
throughout the world

and well I can hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant and

I hear the bells, they are like emeralds and
glints in the night, commas and ampersands
your moony face, so inaccessible
your inner mind, so inexpressible„


--Mike Doughty, "I Hear The Bells"
“he plays piano in a jazz band
and I love him for the man that he could be
I asked him 'If I let you, would you play me?'
and delighted as he tickled every key


and he could feel the ivory skin beneath his fingertips
and I would watch the notes fall one by one from his lips
and he could snap his fingers to the beat
of my heart but he couldn't feel the heat

and I want to be like lovers in an old romantic song
where the music fades away before the love it can go wrong
but I am just a dreamer wearing sensible shoes
and I still dream in color even though I sing the blues

and he is playing scales up and down me
as we sing our tales of hope in perfect harmony
and measure out our love like the length of a song
but it disappears somewhere when the music is gone

every song ever written has a final note
and I sign my name below every letter that I wrote
and lovers who part give a final kiss
now I know it's not the player
but the music that I miss


--"Measures and Scales," Jill Barber

 
you trick your lovers
that you're wicked and divine
you may be a sinner
but your innocence is mine


please me
show me how it's done
tease me
you are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed
desires in your heart„


--Muse, "Undisclosed Desires"
“here we are again
I feel the chemicals kickin' in
it's getting heavy
and I wanna run and hide
I wanna run and hide
I do it every time
you're killin' me now
and I won't be denied by you
the animal inside of you


oh, oh, I want some more
oh, oh, what are you waiting for
take a bite of my heart tonight
oh, oh, I want some more
oh, oh, what are you waiting for
what are you waiting for
say goodbye to my heart tonight


hush, hush, the world is quiet
hush, hush, we both can't fight it
it's us that made this mess
why can't you understand?
whoa, I won't sleep tonight

--"Animal," Neon Trees

 
box after box and you're still by my side
the weather is changing and breaking my stride
I know, I know, I know, it's just this day
house after house, just like car after car
you see club after club and it all seems so far
I know, I know, I know, what else are we here for
the same as I love you, you'll always love me too
this love isn't good unless it's me and you
stick your hands inside of my pockets
keep them warm while I'm still here

tell them this love hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all
last night I was writing about you
I know my screaming and
shouting won't keep you

I know, I know, I know, you're still my love„

--Tegan & Sarah, "I Know, I Know, I Know"
“this is a world of dreams and reverie
where I felt the stars explode around me

a grass blade flashed with a gleam
as it slashed open a moonbeam
and I stared back breathlessly
as mountains of fruit tumbled out
I barely had the chance to shout
oh strawberry avalanche, crash over me

oh, there's a citrus constellation
in the galaxy scratched on the
back of both my eyelids that
I've been dying to see


if you were a beautiful sound in the
echoes all around, then I'd be your harmony

and we'd sing along with the crowds
beneath the candy coated clouds
oh strawberry avalanche, please crash over me

--"Strawberry Avalanche," Owl City
