first post in a whilee!
a really random collection of quotes, basically my favorites <33
hope you like them :)
but we leave the sound on cause silence is harder,
and no one's the killer and no one's the martyr;
the world that has made us can no longer contain us.
--regina spektor, "the consequence of sound"
you swim like you're on fire.
live like your last day & drink like its water.
there's no tomorrow, and you think no one can hear you.
raise your hands to be called on;
you know all the answers.
--rocco deluca, "colorful"
it occurred to me at once that love could be a great illusion
that makes fools of brilliant thinkers everyday;
and turns hearts of stone and steel to a place
where they would feel
like they are falling,
falling quickly in its way.
--copeland, "eat sleep repeat"
tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day,
and head back to the milky way.
and tell me, did venus blow your mind?
was it everything you wanted to find;
and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
--train, "drops of jupiter"
At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important happy ever after, just that it's happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you..and once in a while, people may even take your breath away.
--grey's anatomy
at the end of the day when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. so this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other is usually a load of bull. so we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. no matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. and sure, sometimes close can be too close. but sometimes that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.
--grey's anatomy
i didn't come this far for you to make this hard for me.
--lisa loeb, "how"
i miss the sound of your voice,
and i miss the rush of your skin;
and i miss the still of the silence
as you breathe out
and i breathe in.
--matt nathanson, "come on get higher"
if you walk away, i walk away.
first tell me which road you will take;
i don't want to risk our paths crossing someday.
so you walk that way, i'll walk this way.
--bright eyes, "land-locked blues"
down to the wire;
i wanted water, but i'll walk through the fire
if this is what it takes to take me even higher.
then i'll come through like i do, when the world keeps testing me.
--john mayer, "vultures"
a wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.
--marilyn monroe
as the sun shines through, it pushes away and pushes ahead.
it fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead;
and i didn't know that i could be so blind to all that is so real,
but as illusion dies, i see there is so much to be revealed.
and i will never see the sky the same way,
and i will learn to say goodbye to yesterday.
and i will never cease to fly if held down,
and i will always reach too high.
--vanessa carlton, "twilight"
nothing's real until you let go completely.
--kelly clarkson, "sober"
ready or not, the years are blurring.
running away, the mind is turning.
skip to the end to find the meaning;
thoughts are fading, yet i wonder still.
like it or not, your eyes are open.
playing around, the circles going.
face of a child, your mind is old.
the clock ran down before i could begin.
--the afters, "someday"
so what if you catch me, where would we land?
--remy zero, "fair"
it's love that leaves and breaks the seal
of always thinking you would be real happy and healthy, strong and calm;
where does the good go?
--tegan and sara, "where does the good go?"
you're the words that come out easy,
and i am speechless at best.
your star, it seems to shine above the rest.
--juliana theory, "the closest thing"
belief is a beautiful armor,
but makes for the heaviest sword;
like punching under water,
you never can hit who you're trying for.
some need the exhibition,
and some have to know they tried;
it's the chemical weapon
for the war that's raging on inside.
--john mayer, "belief"
if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
-mother teresa
if you want my future, forget my past;
if you want to get with me, better make it fast.
--the spice girls, "wannabe"
No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up.
--chuck palahnuik, "invisible monsters"
and you move like water, i could drown in you.
and i fell so deep once, till you pulled me through.
--better than ezra, "a lifetime"
you're young until you're not,
you love until you don't,
you try until you can't,
you laugh until you cry,
you cry until you laugh,
and everyone must breathe
until their dying breath.
--regina spektor, "on the radio"
i'll take your wings so that you'll come back down to me.
--the elliott project, "without you"
i have tons more, but i'm tired..i'll do a second post a little later <33!
hope you like them :)
