Favorite one-line in a song

Before I knew what hit me baby you were flowing through my veins...

Addicted to you - Avicii
 
I'll cheat a bit and post two. Both are a bit sad lol.

"I've got wild staring eyes, and I've got a strong urge to fly, but I got nowhere to fly to."
---Pink Floyd, "Nobody Home"

"High on amphetamines, the moon is a lightbulb breaking - it'll go around with anyone, but it won't come down for anyone."
---Elliott Smith, "St. Ides Heaven"
 
Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes)

"We might die from medication, but we sure killed all that pain."
 
Oh and als


And she said the hardest part about recovery is when you're not so sure you wanna recover.

That one just speaks to me, but i have no idea what its from, or even if its from anything or just something i randomly came up with while nodding out and being a stereotypical depressing suicidal junkie

 
Like picking a needle from a haystack, but one that comes to mind:

"It was meeee, waiting for me, hoping for something else, meeee, seeing me this time, hoping for something more".

(Ian Curtis)
 
It's hard to pick a single line from the song but:

"We can start it right now baby get on your knees, don't make me beg again girl I just said please." Pepper - "Give it Up"
 
"just cuz i don't run my mouth, don't mean i got nothin to say" - mike fucking cooley

it's a drive by truckers morning at the casa del chicken.
 
Twisted- Wayne G
I wanna dance all night,
And fuck all day,
I want cocaine; on a breakfast tray,
Is that ok?
 
dont really have a favorite but this made me crack up pretty bad

tell me whos funds the meanest?
guns the cleanest?
here to do it by myself
left my sons in Phoenix
 
I just wanna say good bye, dissappear with no one knowing I dont wanna live this lie, smiling to the world unknowing I dont want you to try, you've done enough to keep me going I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine for the very last time

Conor has a way with lyrics that is indescribable
I could list tons of my favorites of his

Every verse in Landlocked Blues is perfect imo

A good woman will pick you apart
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
But you may be offended and you may be afraid
But don't walk away, don't walk away

You'll be free child once you have died
From the shackles of language and measurable time
And then we can trade places, play musical graves
Till then walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away
