The rules... no rules... just list 25 sets of lyrics that move you. I will add my own little twist... if you can guess the songs *without* help from The InternetsTM, have at it; or also if you would like to know why something "works" for me, just ask.
This was interesting. You can really tell what themes are important to people by which lyrics resonate with them. Any insights?
1. Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me.
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe, and how.
You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know.
You stick around now, it may show,
I don't know, I don't know.
2. I'm trying not to move
It's just your ghost passing through I said,
I'm trying not to move
It's just your ghost passing through
It's just your ghost passing through
And now I'm quite sure
There's a light in your platoon
I never seen a light move
Like yours can do to me
3. Knocked me off of my feet, but
I think it's time for me to start walking again
Stop running away from it
Next time you see me, I will be singing a new song
I am learning to shine on
4. Can you fix this?
It's a broken heart.
It was fine, but it just fell apart.
It was mine, but now I give it to you,
Cause you can fix it, you know what to do.
Let your love cover me,
Like a pair of angel wings,
You are my family,
You are my family.
5. But could you wear something that celebrates
Everything you love, and maybe what your family hates?
Cause that might be what it takes.
It's your fire, it's your soul, it shouldn't have to go.
6. I don't know nothing except change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
You're out there walking down a highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction
But if you break down, I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love, I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy
7. And you don't know the difference
Between heaven and heartache
Cause I've got something in between
So take it soft and slow until daylight
I think you know what I mean
8. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend
You wanted to be free
Somewhere beyond the bitter end is where I want to be
How the sky turns to fire
Against a telephone wire
Burns the last of the day down
And I'm the last one hangin' around
Waiting on a train track, and the train never comes back
And even I'm getting tired of useless desires
9. Nobody knows, knows, knows
So many things, things, so
So out of range
Sometimes so strange
Sometimes so sweet
Sometimes so lonely
10. I grieve for you
You leave me
Let it out and move on
Missing what's gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on and on and on
11. Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh, I'd still be on my feet
12. I don't go to therapy to find out if I'm a freak
I go and I find the one and only answer every week
And it's just me and all the memories to follow
Down any course that fits within a fifty minute hour
And we fathom all the mysteries, explicit and inherent
When I hit a rut, she says to try the other parent
And she's so kind, I think she wants to tell me something,
But she knows that it's much better if I get it for myself...
13. Sometimes the world sings sweet and slow
Like a full bellied bumblebee buzzing a secret you'll just never know
Sure is hard to wait for a friend lighted full of bliss
But you can stay all night
In a patient goodnight kiss
And the world is a whistle
of a bullet going by
It's a New York minute
It's a New Mexico sky
It's the thing you didn't get to
What you've done for far too long
It's the volume of an image
It's the vision in a song
14. Maybe I ain't used to maybes
Smashing in a cold room
Cutting my hands up every time I touch you
Maybe it's time to wave goodbye now
Time to wave goodbye now
15. It's crazy, I'm thinking, just knowing that the world is round.
And here I'm dancing on the ground.
Am I right side up or upside down, and is this real, or am I dreaming?
Lovely lady, let me drink you,
Please, I won't spill a drop, no, I promise you.
Lying under this spell you cast on me.
Each moment, the more I love you.
Crush me, come on. oh, yes.
16. Now I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
I have kissed the ladies and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
I have traveled hard sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere in the wind
17. Kiss me, please kiss me,
Kiss me out of desire, babe, no consolation.
Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.
18. And I tell the man I'm with about the other life I lived
And I say now you're top gun, I have lost and you have won
And he says, "Oh no, no, can't you see
When I was a girl, my mom and I, we always talked
I picked flowers everywhere that I walked.
And I could always cry, now even when I'm alone I seldom do
And I have lost some kindness
But I was a girl too.
And you were just like me, and I was just like you.
19. Cause these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change
Those were the days of our lives - yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look and I find
I still love you
20. It's hard to know when to give up the fight
Some things you want will just never be right
It's never rained like it has tonight before
Now I don't wanna beg you baby
For something maybe you could never give
I'm not looking for the rest of your life
I just want another chance to live
21. They think they know their way to the light
They must be wrong, cause our way feels so right
Should we travel there and try to teach them?
Should we travel there and prepare to fight them?
Should we stay here and live in fear?
Of being wrong?
Of being taught?
Of being killed?
A collage of all the flags
All the scriptures put together
A race spinning through space
Collage of all the flags
All the scriptures put together
A race spinning through space
22. But darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying
Just have this secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope
And nobody's crying
23. Kisses from heaven in your arms
And we'll make love to the memories
They will always see us through, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue
24. Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive
And the world, I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now
Don't stop me 'cause I'm having a good time
25. May all beings have happiness
And the causes of pure joy
May all be free of suffering
And the causes of their pain
May all abide an equal view
Not caught up in loss and gain
In this great world, for every being
May I know their hearts as mine
May I know their hearts as mine
