These lyrics have always meant something to me:
Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for soemone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to nought or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.
PINK FLOYD(Darkside of the Moon)
 
Uninspired - The Connells
Well the steel in his strings
Cuts into his fingers
And the lines that are left
He knows so well
And the words that he screams
Sift through the smoke and sweat
While his wandering mind
Tries to tell...
To tell him he's uninspired
In some weary, absent way
To tell him he's simply tired...
Then the sound rolls in
And lifts him up and in to the place he should've been
Then the sound rolls in, and lifts him up and in
And when all has been drained
He wrestles with the feeling
Of an unfelt refrain that he knew too well
And the words that he hears,
Because they compliment
Are the words that he fears,
Because they tell...
They tell him he's uninspired
In some weary absent way
They tell him he's simply hired here.
Then the sound rolls in.
And lifts him up and in to the place he should've been
Then the sound rolls in...
 
Everyone makes one mistake
One more time for old times' sake
One more time before the feeling fades
One less born of memories
One more bruise you gave to me
One more test, just how much can I take
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
Something never meant to be
Everything you meant to me
Wake me when this punishment is done
Those who try and get away
From the one who gets away
Someone's always someone else's one
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit
Until the end of time
In another life
Till the day I die
Save it up for more try
Save it for the last goodbye
We go on, I get off
I get on, I get off
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like this
You're not the one
But you're the only one
Who can make me feel like shit...
Foo Fighters, "The One"
 
I miss many of my friends, and the environment they create around them. What a happy place. :)
We Never Change
Coldplay
I wanna live life, never be cruel,
I wanna live life, be good to you.
I wanna fly, never come down,
And live my life,
And have friends around.
We never change, do we?
We never learned to leave,
So I wanna live in a wooden house,
I wanna live life, always be true,
I wanna live life, and be good to you,
I wanna fly, and never come down,
And I live my life, and have friends around.
We never change, do we? No, no,
We never learned to bleed,
So I wanna live in a wooden house,
Making more friends would be easy.
O I don't have a show to say,
Yes, and I sing of a single day,
We never change do we?
We never learned to leave.
So, I wanna live life in a wooden house,
Making more friends would be easy,
I wanna live where the sun comes out.

|miss you so much. Being able to exhale is so appreciated. Let that not be the good ole' days
Okay maybe they aren't exactly how I'm feeling today but I sing my heart out when I hear it and next time you hear it -maybe it can make you smile..real big :)
"Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me
Like a child you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there"

Salt of The Earth
by Mick and Keith
And Brian sings and then he dies
Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's drink to the lowly of birth
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
Spare a thought for his back breaking work
Say a prayer for his wife and his children
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth
And when I search a faceless crowd
A swirling mass of gray and black and white
They don't look real to me
In fact, they look so strange
Raise your glass to the hard-working people
Let's drink to the uncounted heads
Let's think of the wavering millions
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead
Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer or polio
And when I look in the faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays and black and white
They don't look real to me
Or don't they look so strange
Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's think of the lowly of birth
Spare a thought for the rag-taggy people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Let's drink to the hard-working people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Let's drink to the two thousand million
Let's think of the humble of birth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth...

I promise I won't let those be the good ole days. That is excellent advice. :)
Let's make more happy memories very very soon, okay? Here's a great shower song for later.
The Tide is High
The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one I'm not the kind of girl Who gives up just like that Oh, no
It's not the things you do That tease and wound me bad But it's the way you do The things you do to me I'm not the kind of girl Who gives up just like that Oh, no
The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one Number one, number one Every girl wants you to be her man But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn I'm not the kind of girl Who gives up just like that Oh, no
The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one Number one, number one Every girl wants you to be her man But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn I'm not the kind of girl Who gives up just like that Oh, no
The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one
 
Grace is Gone:
Neon shines through smoky eyes tonight It’s 2 AM, I’m drunk again It’s heavy on my mind It’s heavy on my mind.
I could never love again So much as I love you Where you end where I begin Is like a river flowing through.
Take my heart, take my eyes 'Cause I'll need them no more If never again they’ll fall upon The one I so adore.
Excuse me please, one more drink Could you make it strong 'cause I don’t need to think She broke my heart My Grace is Gone Another drink and I’ll move on.
One drink to remember, and another to forget How could I ever dream to find a love like this again One drink to remember, and another to forget...
Excuse me please, one more drink Would you make it strong 'Cause I don’t need to think She broke my heart My Grace is Gone Another drink and I’ll move on One more drink and I'll move on...
You think of things impossible Then the sun refuse to shine I woke with you beside me Your cold hand lay in mine.
Excuse me please, one more drink Could you make it strong 'Cause I don’t need to think She broke my heart My Grace is Gone Another drink and I’ll go...
Excuse me please, one more drink Could you make it strong 'Cause I don’t need to think She broke my heart My Grace is Gone Another drink and I'll move on One more drink and I'll move on One more drink my Grace is Gone.
Fool to Think:
Look at me dreaming of you
All I could hope is to have you
To have you walking with me
Laughing so in love, we two
Almost drunkenly
I did imbibe of this
Fantasy of you and me
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
I've grown tired of love
You are the trouble with me
I watch you walk right by
I smile, you do not notice me
Treat me recklessly
All you do is toss me pennies out
But the silence in me is screaming
Won't you come and get me?
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
You make a mess of me here
I dance a thousand steps for you
If you say yes to me
I'll be whatever gets you through
You make a mess of me here
I'l dance a thousand steps for you
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think?
Am I a fool, am I a fool for you?
2 incredible Dave Matthews songs.
 
Gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
Gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
I'm no clown
Don't want back down
Don't need you to tell me what's going down
Down down down down da-down down down
Down down down down da-down down down
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fools Gold
These boots weren't made for walking
The Marquis de Sade never made no boots like these
Gold's just around the corner
Breakdown's coming up round the bend
(What you doing? You've all gone mad)
Sometimes you have to try to get along dear
I know the truth and I know what you're thinking
Down down down down da-down down down
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fools Gold
Fools Gold
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fools Gold
Fools Gold
 
fountains of wayne-sink to the bottom
i wanna sink to the bottom with you
i wanna sink to the bottom with you
the ocean is big and blue
i just wanna sink to the bottom with you
cars on the highway, planes in the air
everyone else is going somewhere
but i'm going nowhere, getting there soon
i might as well just sink down with you
i wanna sink to the bottom with you
i wanna sink to the bottom with you
the ocean is big and blue
i just wanna sink to the bottom with you out on the highway, up in the air
everyone else is going somewhere
they're going nowhere, and i'll be there too
i might as well go under with you
 
"No More Drama"
mary j. blige
So tired, tired of these drama
No more, no more
I wanna be free
I'm so tired, so tired
Broken heart again
Another lesson learn
Better know your friends
Or else you will get burn
Gotta count on me
Cause I can guarantee
That I'll be fine
No more pain (no more pain)
No more pain (no more pain)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
Noone's gonna make me hurt again
What a player fool
Go through ups and downs
Nowhere and all the time
You wouldn't be around
Or maybe I like the stress
Cause I was young and restless
But there was long ago
I don't wanna cry no more
No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (no more game messin with my mind)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
Nooone's gonna make me hurt again
No more tears (no more tears, I'm tired of cryin everynight)
No more fears (no more fears, I really don't wanna cry)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
I don't ever wanna hurt again
Wanna speak my mind, wanna speak my mind
Uh, it feel so good
When you let go
Avoid these drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain
Free from all the game
Free from all the stress
So bye your happiness
I don't know
Only God knows where the story is
For me, but I know where the story begins
It's up to us to choose
Whatever we win or loose
And I choose to win
No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (tired of your playin' game with my mind)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
No more, no more, No more, no more
No more tears (no more tears, no more cryin every night)
No more fears (no more waking be up in the morning)
No drama, no more in my life
No more drama, no more drama
No more drama, no more drama
NO MORE DRAMA
NO MORE DRAMA
NO MORE DRAMA
NO MORE DRAMA
NO MORE DRAMA
No more drama in my life
So tired, tired of these drama
 
ani difranco - pulse
you crawled into my bed
like some sort of giant insect
and i found myself spellbound
that night at the sight of you there
beautiful and grotesque and all the rest of that bug stuff
bluffing your way into my mouth
behind my teeth, reaching for my scars
that night we got kicked out of two bars
and laughed our way home
that night you leaned over
and threw up into your hair
and i held you there thinking
i would offer you my pulse
if i thought it would be useful
i would give you my breath
except
the problem with death is that you have
some hundred years and then they can
build building on your only bones
100 years and then your grave is not your own
we lie in out beds, and our graves
unable to save ourselves from
the quaint tragedies we invent
and then undo from the stupid circumstances
we slomen through
and i realized that night that the hall light
which seemed so bright when you turned it on is nothing
compared to the dawn
which is nothing, compared to the light
which seeps from me while you're sleeping
beautiful
and grotesque resting caconed in my room
that night we got kicked out of two bars
and laughed our way home
and i held you there thinking
i would offer you my pulse
i would give you my breath
Lamb - Gorecki
(id put this whole song in bold... it echos my heart completely)
If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
for I've never known completeness
like being here
wrapped in the warmth of you
loving every breath of you
still my heart this moment
oh it might burst
all this time I've loved you
and never known your face
all this time I've missed you
and searched this human race
here is true peace
here my heart knows calm
safe in your soul
bathed in your sighs
all I've known
all I've done
all I've felt was leading to this
wanna stay right here
till the end of time till the earth stops turning
gonna love you till the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for

When I get the time
I'd like to sit down
and write a little rhyme for you
Just a couple few
I'd tell you
What you mean to me
Yeah!
When I get the time
I'd love to sit down and write a little rhyme for you
Just a couple few
I'd tell you
What you mean to me
When I get the time
I'd
Put it all down and pick you up
I'd say
throw it all away
the world is
me and you tonight
And will there come a day
when nothing is standing in our way?
living that dream
within your arms?
Well, I'll make it happen someday
I'll make it happen someday
I'll make it happen
I'll make it happen someday
When I get the time
I gotta get the time
yeah...........
I'd look in your eyes
for places inside
I've never been
before
I gotta find somemore
and I know you don't owe me
anything
When I get the time
When I get the guts
to live my life
for me
and to do, what I wanna do
I'd be the friend that you said you once knew
or will there come a day
when we give up
and turn away
and I'd have
nothing left
nothing left except
I'd have all the time in the word
all of the time in the word
time to remember
look through the window
time to cry
Time to cry...........
I gotta get the time..............
Where can I find the time?
Where can I find, where can I find the time?
get the time
Descendents/When I Get the Time
 
Man, I LOVE this thread. I have read through all the lyrics, and I can relate to a lot of them.
A Tribe called Quest - Stressed out
I really know how it feels to be, stressed out, stressed out
When you’re face to face with your adversity.
I really know how it feels to be, stressed out, stressed out
We’re gonna make this thing work out eventually
Yo I ain’t one to complain but there’s things in the game
(What’s your name?) Consequence, I’m tight, burnt like flames
(And why’s that?) American dreams, they got this ghetto kid in a fiend
Don’t stress that cause it’s not in your bloodstream
Your whole being, comes from greatness, d’you remember
Shatan got you caught in the storms of December
And brothers on the block packin nines like September
Crazy situations keeps pockets on slender
Yo I be on the avenue where they be actin brand new
I’m splurgin on these Reebok joints for shorty boo
All of a sudden, I saw these two kids frontin
Talkin out they joints but they wasn’t sayin nuttin
My hand was on my toolie they was actin unruly
(Say word) Yo word up, yo I was tight caught up
But I swallowed my pride and let that nonsense ride
Because I’m positive it seems that negative dies
Yo we was at the dice game makin these cats look silly
Flamin, steady runnin off at the Willie
I had my cash mixed, my rent due, with my play-dough
I gotta see some loot so all my girls I blow
Shook them shits in my palm let em hit the flo’
Kept my eyeballs scopin for them pigs po-po
I got to go on the ave see my parole by fo’
But I gotta steady freak these boys like JoJo
And I was doin it, til I met Ike, Spike, and Mike
One roll, they had my pockets thirstier than Sprite
Yo I know the feelin, when you feelin like a villain
You be havin good thoughts but the evils be revealin
and the stresses of life can take you off the right path (no doubt)
Jealousy and envy tends to infiltrate your staff
We gotta hold it down so we can move on past
all adversities, so we can get through fast, like that
Ya, even though stuff has been going pretty good for me lately, i'm still stressed.
 
bjork-headphones
Genius to fall asleep to your tape last night
Sounds go through the muscles
These abstract wordless
Movements
They start off cells that haven't been touched before
Nothing will be the same
I like this resonance
It elevates me
I don't recognize myself
This is very interesting
Common-The Light
I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this
Gotta be somethin for me to write this
Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute
Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it
Signed sealed delivered for us to grow together
Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever
I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
I ain't gon' assault em cause I probably did it too
Because of you, feelings I handle with care
Some niggaz recognize the light but they can't handle the glare
You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin shirts
If relationship is effort I will match your work
I wanna be the one to make you happiest, it hurts you the most
They say the end is near, it's important that we close..
.. to the most, high
Regardless of what happen on him let's rely
There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side..
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..
Yo, yo, check it
It's important, we communicate
and tune the fate of this union, to the right pitch
I never call you my bitch or even my boo
There's so much in a name and so much more in you
Few understand the union of woman and man
And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land
But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write
For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light
If heaven had a height, you would be that tall
Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all
Let's stick to understandin and we won't fall
For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
So I pray everyday more than anything
friends will stay as we begin to lay
this foundation for a family - love ain't simple
Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually
Granted we known each other for some time
It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine
There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side, oh darling
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..
Yeah.. yo, yo, check it
It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
and I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop
Plus you ship hop when it's time to, thinkin you fresh
Suggestin beats I should rhyme to
At times when I'm lost I try to find you
You know to give me space when it's time to
My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness
Truthfully it's hard tryin to practice abstinence
The time we committed love it was real good
Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good
I know the sex ain't gon' keep you, but as my equal
it's how I must treat you
As my reflection in light I'ma lead you
And whatever's right, I'ma feed you
Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da
Yo I tell you the rest when I see you, peace
There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side..
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..
(I'll) take my chances.. before they pass..
.. pass me by, oh darling..
You need to look at the other side..
You'll agree..

"Everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
I wrote these words for everyone
Who struggles in their youth
Who won't accept deception
Instead of what is truth
It seems we lose the game,
Before we even start to play
Who made these rules? We're so confused
Easily led astray
Let me tell ya that
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
After winter, must come spring
Everything is everything
I philosophy
Possibly speak tongues
Beat drum, Abyssinian, street Baptist
Rap this in fine linen
From the beginning
My practice extending across the atlas
I begat this
Flippin' in the ghetto on a dirty mattress
You can't match this rapper / actress
More powerful than two Cleopatras
Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti
MCs ain't ready to take it to the Serengeti
My rhymes is heavy like the mind of Sister Betty
L. Boogie spars with stars and constellations
Then came down for a little conversation
Adjacent to the king, fear no human being
Roll with cherubims to Nassau Coliseum
Now hear this mixture
Where hip hop meets scripture
Develop a negative into a positive picture
Now, everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
Sometimes it seems
We'll touch that dream
But things come slow or not at all
And the ones on top, won't make it stop
So convinced that they might fall
Let's love ourselves then we can't fail
To make a better situation
Tomorrow, our seeds will grow
All we need is dedication
Let me tell ya that,
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
After winter, must come spring
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually"

Let's have a black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight
To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day
I look to you
How you carry on
When all hope is gone
Can't you see
Your optimistic eyes
Seem like paradise
To someone like
Me
I want to take you
In my arms
Forgetting all I couldn't do today
Black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight
To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day
I look to you
And your strong belief
Me, I want relief
Tonight
Consolation
I want so much
Want to feel your touch
Tonight
Take me in your arms
Forgetting all you couldn't do today
Black celebration
I'll drink to that
Black celebration
Tonight

She smiled sweetly - The Rolling Stones
Why do my thoughts loom so large on me?
They seem to stay, for day after day
And won't disappear, I've tried every way
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
And says don't worry
Oh, no no no
Where does she hide it inside of her?
That keeps her peace most every day
And won't disappear, my hair's turning grey
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
And says don't worry
Oh, no no no
"There's nothing in why or when
There's no use trying, you're here
Begging again, and ov'r again"
That's what she said so softly
I understood for once in my life
And feeling good most all of the time
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
And said don't worry
Oh, no no no
Oh, no no no
Oh, no no no
------------
...
 
Alone again or - Love
Yeah, said it's all right
I won't forget
All the times I've waited patiently for you
And you'll do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight my dear
Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are
The greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight my dear
