It doesn't matter if it's from David Cook or not.

It could be hard to choose so just post as many as you want


If written wrote me even chance
And the choice to save you
I wouldn't answer if it even had to ask
In her figure I've instilled a taste of my own
So listen up world, listen up world
To make it easier to take what life I'm owed
As the curse has returned from the hell of your
Heart and your soul

Ten Speed (Of God's Blood And Burial) - Coheed & Cambria

it's also my favorite song

Ummmm, let's seeeee...

"You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us,
And the world will be as one"


John Lennon-Imagine

Right now, I think my favorite set of lyrics would have to be:

Sing like you think no one's listening
You would kill for this, just a little bit.
Sing me something soft, sad and delicate
Or loud and out of key.
Sing me anything.
We're glad for what we've got,
Done with what we've lost.
Our whole lives laid out right in front of us.

"Existentialism On Prom Night" by Straylight Run

Get over regrets
While you were sleeping with the angels
He was under the bed
And the more skin
That you shed
The more that the air in your throat will linger
When you call him your friend

Crowing - Toad the Wet Sprocket

Oh man... I have SO many. I'm gonna have to compile a list.
*goes off to find my Composition notebook full of song lyrics*

I love that song



From David Cook:

No surprise; no need to pretend that no one really even cares
But in her eyes you will find the very best in me

Makeover - David Cook

-------------------------------


Say you're holding onto nothing
And it's showing all over your face


Don't say a word - David Cook.



Makeover and Don't say a word are my favorite songs by David

OK, so I am obsessed with lyrics. I write them on everything and I have a notebook full of my favorite lyrics. It's great to flip through and read when I'm having a bad day or something. It's very relaxing and inspiring.

Anyway, I just went through it and picked out my VERY VERY favorites. I limited myself to one song per artist, because I could go on forever listing Leonard Cohen, Beatles and Nickel Creek lyrics I love. Haha. So here are some of my favorites... I'm sorry it's such a long list.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
-The Beatles; The End. (Favorite line from any song ever. I made a t-shirt with these lyrics on it )

If learning is living
And the truth is a state of mind,
You'll find it's better at the end of the line.
-Son Volt; Tear-Stained Eye

Who will provide the grand design? What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here.
Satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny and in the name of God.
-The Eagles; The Last Resort. (I saw the Eagles live when I was 13 and they played this song. It is one of the most powerful things I've ever experienced.)

Back down the bully to the back of the bus, 'cause it's time for him to be scared of us.
-Third Eye Blind; Wounded.

You can go ahead and get married, and this will be our secret thing.
I won't tell a soul except the people in the nightclub where I sing.
-The Old 97's; Designs On You.

When I grow up, I'll be a lady.
All my rings will be made of gold.
I'll put flowers in my room, I'll wear perfume,
I won't listen to rock and roll.
Kasie Chambers; Pony. (These lyrics are in my siggy currently. I'm not a big Kasie Chambers fan, but I LOVE that song.)

I'm not scared of being alone, I'm just happier being confused.
-Nickel Creek; Why Should The Fire Die?

I hear the tender words from Zion, I hear Noah's waterfall,
Hear the gentle lamb of Judah sleeping at the feet of Buddha.
And the prophets from Elijah to the old Paiute Wovoka
Take their places at the table when they're called...
-Old Crow Medicine Show; I Hear Them All. (It was HARD for me to pick a favorite line from that song because all the lyrics are sooo good. That's probably my favorite part though.)

It's always have and never hold
As you've become to feel like home.
What's mine is yours to leave or take;
What's mine is yours to make your own.
-The Fray; Look After You. (Most romantic lyrics ever.)

And even though it all went wrong,
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my lips but Hallelujah.
-Leonard Cohen; Hallelujah.

Through the revolutions of fresh-faced youth,
No one will come to save you,
So speak your peace in the murmurs drawn --
Youth is wasted on the young.
-Smashing Pumpkins; Thru The Eyes Of Ruby

So one last touch and then you'll go,
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more,
But it was vile, and it was cheap,
And you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me.
-Death Cab For Cutie; Tiny Vessels.

Hear a lie enough and it cuts like the Gospel.
When you're half-awake, no mistake is impossible.
-Chris Thile; Ready For Anything.

Haha, OK, I'll stop there, but I could go on. I love lyrics.

OMG! You UNDERSTAND! The Eagles are beyond powerful live. I rank the first show I ever went to as the best I've seen in my life. And this song...wow. You inspired me to put on 'Hell Freezes Over'! *sigh*

Yes!
Amazing

Incarcerate

So much for being alone / Cold peace on my own / I'll cut my skin to show you I'm alive / A king on high-volt throne / The world is ours to own / Our ashes are so divine

I'll swim in you if you drown in me / Well search everywhere for a happy ending / Incarcerate, rest peacefully / Where you are

You remember me / With all that I can see / A hole in my head because you were mine / Like a closed book you can read brings back those memories / On how everything looks outside/ It looks outside

I'll swim in you if you drown in me / We'll search everywhere for a happy ending / Incarcerate, rest peacefully / Where you are / Incarcerate / Incarcerate

I'll swim in you if you drown in me / We'll search everywhere for a happy ending / Incarcerate, rest peacefully / Where you are

and

simple plan`s untitled, this song means to me so much, cause one time my life was like those lyrics

untitled

I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight

And I can't stand the pain
And I can't make it go away
No I can't stand the pain

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No I can't

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me


so beautiful songs!

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.


From: “ "What About Now"”
By: DAUGHTRY

wow.. .this is going to be so much fun *looks to through my documents on my computer*

ANYONE ELSE BUT YOU- movie-Juno

You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Du dududu dududu du dududu
Du dududu dududu du dududu
I don't see what anypne can see, in anyone else
But you

I love the song and the movie!

That song was my ringtone on my cell for like 3 months! I love that!

Linkin Park

"Figure.09"

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happening
It's like nothing I can do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'Cause from the infinite words I could say I
Put all pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize instead of setting it free I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me

(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)

[Chorus]
(And now)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be my fear)
(I can't separate)
(Myself from what I've done)
(Giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)

Hearing your name the memories come back again
I remember when it started happening
I see you in every thought I had and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away
I was committing myself to them and everyday
I regret saying those things cuz now I see that I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me

(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)

[Chorus]
(And now)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be my fear)
(I can't separate)
(Myself from what I've done)
(Giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)

(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)

(Get away from me)
Give me my space back you gotta just
(Go)
Everything comes down the memories of
(You)
I've kept it in but now I'm letting you
(Know)
I let you go so get away from
(Me)
Give me my space back you gotta just
(Go)
Everything comes down the memories of
(You)
I've kept it but now I'm letting you
(Know)
I let you go

(And now)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be my fear)
(I can't separate)
(Myself from what I've done)
(Giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)

I've let myself become you
I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

Linkin Park has a lot of great lyrics but this is one of my favorites.

If only the crying could heal
I'd sell my left arm to buy passion
If only apologies worked
Well I could find some reasons
Why maybe you wouldn't be
So ill, so, ill, sorry your souls so ***** shallow
It's creeping outside, outside of its hole
It's trying to see, say it, fake this reality

"Humanoid" - Chevelle

____

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of a second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion

Between supposed lovers
Between supposed brothers

"Schism" - Tool
______
It's a crime you let it happen to me
Out of mind, I love it, easy to please
Nevermind, forget it, just memories
On apage inside a spiral notebook

"Forget It" - Breaking Benjamin
______

Their cries are blown away with the wind.
How passive can we be before humanity is lost?
Turning our backs on those who need love.
We must not rest while healing is needed.

Tear down the veil.
That bars your heart from feeling this.
Dedicate yourself.
Give your soul to compassion.
With open arms, embrace this heart.
With open eyes, behold the truth.
Embrace this life.

So little time is left.
We must be relentless in our pursuit of those in torment.
Tear down the veil
That bars your heart from feeling this.
Dedicate yourself.
Become the voice of compassion.
With open arms, embrace this heart.
With open eyes, behold the truth.
Embrace this life.

Can you reject yourself?
Can you feel their agony?
In a world that feeds on disregard.
Heal the broken hearted.

"Reject Yourself" - Killswitch Engage

...I could go on and I might later.

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad Word, Gary Jules (orignally Tears for Fears)

I must give the impression
That I have the answers for everything
You were so disappointed
To see me unravel so easily
It's only change
It's only everything I know
It's only change, and I'm only changing
Still, Ben Folds

War! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War! It's got one friend, that's the undertaker
War has shattered many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled bitter and mean
Life is much to precious to spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life, it can only take it away

War! Huh Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, Edwin Starr

And a couple happy ones, because we need it! One funny, one super-cheesy, both from musicals, but stil:

Oh, its time to start livin'
Time to take a little from this world we're given
Time to take time, for spring will turn to fall
In just no time at all
No Time At All, from Pippin

Happiness is morning and evening daytime and nighttime too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all that's loved by you.
Happiness, from You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.

Never Too Late by Three Days Grace

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

This is my ringtone =D

Rock on! I love that song too! It's one of my favs...but one of my all time favorite songs is "Dig" by Incubus...I love this song!!

We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify. Look me in the eye,
and ask for forgiveness.
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again.
Yes, you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us,
at least we dig each other.

So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday.

If I turn into another
dig me up from under what is covering
the better part of me.
Sing this song
remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone.

We all have a sickness
that cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us,
at least we dig each other.

So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.

If I turn into another,
dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone.
Oh, each other when everything else is gone.

Incubus is awesome, some of my favorite songs are by them

The struggles make me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has its own way of taking its sweet time
No life ain't always beautiful
But I know I'll be fine
Hey life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride.- Life Ain't Always Beautiful- Gary Allen


You don't have to find your own way out
You've got a voice let it be heard
Just when it feels you're on a dead end road
There's always somewhere left to turn- Everbody- Keith Urban

When you're soaring through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down.- When You Come Back Down-NickelCreek

Promises and lies both have their dangers
Now I just can't be wrong enough
And I can't hide for long enough
So far away, but I still feel your pain

Lord, I'm a fool for a lonesome train
Lord, I'm a fool for a lonesome train
I tried to say good-bye
But I never got your name
Whoa, I'm a fool for a lonesome train

Lord I'm a fool for a lonesome train
I'm your fool for a lonesome train
I know it sounds crazy, but I'm painfully sane.-Fool For a Lonesome Train-Ben Harper

Did you find what you were after
The pain and the laughter brought you to your knees
But if the sun sets you free
Sets you free
You'll be free indeed

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Everytime I hear you laughing
I hear you laughing
It makes me cry
Like the story of life
Of your life
Is hello, good-bye-She's Only Happy In the Sun-Ben Harper


Prison walls still standing tall,
Some things never change at all.
Keep on buildin’ prisons, gonna fill them all,
Keep on buildin’ bombs, gonna drop them all.
Working your fingers bear to the bone,
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul.
Like a lung that’s filled with coal, suffocatin’ slow.
The wind blows wild and I may move,
The politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth.
The air on my skin and the world under my toes,
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes,
Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow.
There ain't no reason things are this way
It’s how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.-Ain't No Reason-Brett Dennen


I have to add this one because from everytime I hear it I tear up. It is just one of those songs that from the first time it seemed like it was written just for me. (No I don't mean like David wrote it for me! I just mean that it fits perfectly to a situation in my life.)

Your laugh intoxicating
Once touch and I'm negating everything around
Take me and I'm yours
I only want you anymore
I kiss the ground

If you want to know the truth
you make or break my day
If you want to know the trugh
I wouldn't have it any other way

I love this line- No touch to calm my hating everyone around.-The Truth- David Cook(I could add the rest of the song, but I'm sure you all know it by now! haha)

This is pretty much my favorite song of the moment (well for almost a year moment).
It's one of those that I heard at the right time, and it helped and changed some things in my life.
I'm glad that Tyler Hilton decided to write it!

Give me a city view
A glass of wine or two
And a strong imagination

Give me a TV show
A remote that I control
And a myriad of stations

Well I've thought about it
And I can do without it
I'm thinkin' I'll be alright

I'd rather be lonely
I'd rather have no love than to know love like this
If I know one thing
I'd rather have nothing
Than to hold onto something that just don't exist
I'd rather be alone

Give me a ticket for one
To the saddest kind of movie
That's showin' after midnight
Or just a map to read
A gas station cup of coffee
Me, the asphalt, and the moonlight
I've thought about it
And I can do with out it
I'm thinkin' I'll be alright

Chorus

I've thought about it
I can do without it sugar, I've thought about it
I'm thinkin' I'll be alright
I'd rather be lonely- I'd Rather Be Lonely- Tyler Hilton

I could add a ton more, but I think I'll stop now!

Got another...

This is "Forever Can Be" by ASHES dIVIDE

It must've been very hard
To have lived and never learnt
To be content with who you are
We all want the same things don't we
To find the one who opens channels to our hearts
A path you never found upon your own.

Forever can be...
Something to believe in...
But this was one of those times

Forever can be...
Something to bleed for...
But this is one of those times

So you dug deep down inside yourself
You revealed an old man
So pained to be what makes you who you are
We all want you to see the you we see
The one that carries the worlds tragedies alone
The cross you choose to bear upon your own.

Forever can be...
Something to believe in...
Wish this was one of those times.

Forever can be...
Something to bleed for...
And this is one of those times, for those you left behind.

Save the world so you don't have to save yourself.
You save the world so you don't have to look at yourself.
And fill the void left inside your fragile hearts.
Those haunted images never left you alone........

Forever can be...
Something to believe in...
This was one of those times

Forever can be...
Something to believe for...
Now this is one of those times.

They can say
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I won't face the ground,
I will rise steadily sailing out of their reach,
Although they do try,
How to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all,
But I refuse to fall,
Tell me what I believe or loose faith in my dreams,
'Cause there's a light in me,
That shines brightly yes
They can try but they can't take that away from
Me

"Can't take that away" by Mariah Carey... when im so down, this song inspires me to go on!

'I feel alive, you are my esctasy, its you that I'm craving'
Inme- Faster the Chase

My current fave;
'Use me as you will, pull my strings just for a thrill'

My fave all time song, and lyrics;
'In the chilly hours and minutes,
Of uncertainty, I want to be,
In the warm hold of your loving mind.

To feel you all around me,
And to take your hand, along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky,
I wanna hide a while, behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

For me to love you now,
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near, to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind.

For standin' in your heart,
Is where I want to be, and I long to be,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.'

Donovan- Catch the Wind

Oh, how wrong we were to think
That immortality meant never dying
Our Lady Of Sorrows - My Chemical Romance

So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
The Sharpest Lives - My Chemical Romance

Drama doesn't follow me it rides on my back
I may be ugly but they sure love to stare
There's A Class For This - Cute Is What We Aim For

I'll hide you in my walls
Your body will never be found
I'll wear your skin As a suit pretend to be you
Your friends will like you more then they used do.
Ride The Wings Of Pestilence - From First To Last

The starlight above my hometown
Aint as bright as the star ive found
Every drawing that i drew
Was never ever as cute as you
Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn - Hellogoodbye

It's here for us to admire if we can afford the beauty of it
Can afford the luxury of turning our heads
Adjust that thousand dollars smile and behold the creation of man
Great words won't cover ugly actions - good frames won't save bad paintings
We lack the motion to move to the new beat
When the day is over the doors are locked on us
Money buys the access - and we can't pay the cost
And how can we expect anyone to listen if we are using the same old voice?
We need new noise - new art for the real people
We dance to all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance to all the wrong songs
We're not leading
New Noise - Refused

Just to name a few.
