The best Song and Lyrics Quotes (Page 17)

Dream so big and feel so small
Fight while you’re sinking like a cannonball
Wonder if it makes any difference at all

You fight like hell, but you're barely alive
Work so hard just trying to survive
Head's under water and your hands are tied, I know
Dream so big eyes are wide

Words you say
Never seem to live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead

Black hole sun, won't you come
And wash away the rain?

In my eyes, indisposed
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
In the sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
'Neath the black the sky looks dead

Well, I just looked in the mirror
And things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California
And feeling Minnesota

Whatsoever I feared has come to light
And whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when every day seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded, now I'm doin' time

I shot my love today, would you cry for me
I lost my head again, would you lie for me

The fire is spreading
And no one wants to speak about it

You got me so addicted to the drama
I tell myself I'm done with wicked games
But then I get so numb with all the laughter
That I forget about the pain

I know my friends, they give me bad advice
Like move on, get you out my mind
But don't you think I haven't even tried?
You got me cornered and my hands are tied

I come runnin' to you like a moth into a flame
You tell me, "Take it easy," but it's easier to say
Wish I didn't need so much of you
I hate to say, but I do

It shouldn't come as no surprise anymore
I know you said that you'd give me another chance
But you and I knew the truth of it in advance
That mentally, you were already out the door

When the high's too high and the low's too low
When you love someone and they let you go
Don't you let it kill you
Even when it hurts like hell
Oh, whatever tears you apart
Don't let it break your heart

I could feel your blood run through me
You're written in my DNA
Looking back in every memory
I know you'll be waiting, I'll see you again

But you only get half of the story
The cash, and the cars and the glory
No sleep and we party 'til morning
'Cause nobody cares when you're boring

Roses are red, some diamonds are blue
Chivalry is dead, but you're still kinda cute

You expect me to just let you hit it?
But will you still respect me if you get it?

If you see us in the club, we'll be actin' real nice
If you see us on the floor, you'll be watchin' all night
We ain't here to hurt nobody
So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Wanna see you work your body

In the day, in the night
Say it right, say it all
You either got it, or you don't
You either stand, or you fall

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is

Everybody get your necks to crack around
All you crazy people, come on, jump around
I wanna see you all on your knees, knees
You either wanna be with me, or be me

Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard, make you want all of her love
She's a maneater, make you buy cars
Make you cut cards, make you fall real hard in love

Flames to dust, lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

Baby, you got something special
Your body is a work of art
But we got a little issue
I feel your chest, but I can't find your heart

I can swear, I can joke
I say what's on my mind
If I drink, if I smoke
I keep up with the guys
And you see me holding up my middle finger to the world
F*ck your ribbons and your pearls
'Cause I'm not just a pretty girl

We're young and naive, and you're tellin' me
That someday we'll run off together
I'm startin' to think, I'm stuck in a dream
Cause we're young and we don't know better

Take me back to the night, we met in the yard
Climbing up to the roof, hidden in the dark
With a bottle of wine for two, though I'm already drunk off you
Then we both fell asleep, underneath the stars

I always tried to tell myself
That I'd fall in love with someone else
But oh, my stubborn heart is set on you
And every night I fall asleep
Just so I can see you in my dreams
And now, I think you ought to know the truth

I've been trying to drink away
All the nights I can't forget
And the voices screaming in my head
‘Bout the things I most regret

I don't want somebody like you
I only want you

I don't wanna spend the night at someone's place
To fill the space that you used to walk in
I don't want another number in my phone
Someone to hold at three in the morning

Man, I snuck into the game, came in on a horse
I pulled a gimmick, I admit it, I got no remorse

If I wasn't me and I would've seen myself, I would have bought me a drink
Took me home, did me long, ate it with the panties on
I could build a house with all the brick I got
B*tches spend a lifetime tryn'a get this hot

I was fifteen when the world put me on a pedestal
I had big dreams of doin' shows and making memories
Made some bad moves tryin' to act cool, upset by their jealousy

You put me on a pedestal and tell me I'm the best
Raise me up into the sky until I'm short of breath
Fill me up with confidence, I say what's in my chest
Spill my words and tear me down until there's nothing left
Rearrange the pieces just to fit me with the rest

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance, I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Aye, I'm on vacation
Every single day cause I love my occupation
Aye, I'm on vacation
If you don't like your life, then you should go and change it

These people shouldn't change like the weather, man
People shouldn't change if they innocent
People act strange when it's getting hard to breathe
So let me be your oxygen

Tears fall behind phone screens
Lonely hearts lead to bad dreams
Wish that I could be there for you
I hope that life will be fair for you

I want to take this trip, so I can taste your lips
And this weightlessness, outer space and kiss
And this maintenance on my face is bliss
Making love up in the moon tower just for kicks

Said I really wanna go outside today
Said I really wanna get real high today
So please don't catch up my vibe today
So please don't get in my eyes today

So, baby, pull me closer
In the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

Make no mistake, I live in a prison
That I built myself, it is my religion
And they say that I am the sick boy
Easy to say when you don't take the risk, boy
Welcome to the narcissism
Yeah, we're united under our indifference

But she said, where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss

I want something just like this

I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list

We're falling apart, still we hold together
We've passed the end, so we chase forever
'Cause this is all we know
This feeling's all we know

They tell me think with my head, not that thing in my chest
They got their hands at my neck this time
But you're the one that I want, and if that's really so wrong
Then they don't know what this feeling is like

And I know I've started
Drifting off every second
I can't wait to leave as soon as I
Arrive, I count the seconds

Found you when your heart was broke
I filled your cup until it overflowed
Took it so far to keep you close
I was afraid to leave you on your own
