I’m not talking about the full lyrics, but just a phrase or a sentence that you feel is right up your alley.

One of my personal favourites is from Barmy by The Fall: I got everything I want except for money.

    Some are born to move the world

    To live their fantasies

    But most of us just dream about

    The things we’d like to be

    Sadder still to watch it die

    Than never to have known it

    For you, the blind who once could see

    The bell tolls for thee

    ~Losing It, by Rush

    There’s an enemy

    Living inside of me

    And he’s been wasting my time, wasting my time

    “But then one day you find, ten years have got behind you”

    “No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun”

    I’m on a hovercraft to Paris with my former best friend. We have to get to the cinematheque. We’re not alone, but no one speaks english so we’re free to look into each other’s minds and see what we’re thinking like we always used to. I miss talking to you.

    Obligatory T-Swizzle lyrics incoming:

    “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me.”

    I feel this whole song so fucking hard. But this line specifically because I form codependent relationships with people like crazy, and I always feel like a fuckin’ burden/like my friends or husband don’t truly like me. Like I’m stressing people out or putting too much pressure on them, so I’m not worth the effort of maintaining a relationship with.

    There are so many. Father John Misty, the cheeky bastard, writes lyrics so well. In Goodbye Mr. Blue -

    When the last time was our last time, if only then I knew that the last time was our last time, would have told you that the last time comes too soon.

    And from The Head and the Heart back when they were making magic with Josiah Johnson -

    The world keeps spinning, a little too fast. If we don’t slow down soon it might not last. So just for a moment, just for a moment, let’s be still.
