Some words are so powerful that I wait for my favorite lines every time I hear certain songs. Sometimes, they're in the chorus and other times, I have to listen a little harder because they're like buried gems.
I've had some time in the car recently driving to and from Orange County and actually listened to my iPod, something I don't normally do anywhere but at the gym, and had the chance to revisit some of my favorite lyrics:
And every time she sneezes I believe it's love
Anna Begins - Counting Crows
You can wish on four leaf clovers, but all the fields have been plowed over
And there's nothin left to do but fly away
California - Kenny Chesney
It's only an inch from me to you
Depending on what map you use
Cleveland - Jewel
I wanna be the only one, for miles and miles
Except for maybe you, and your simple smile
Cowboy Take Me Away - The Dixie Chicks
Things ain't good but things ain't boring
Falling or Flying - Grace Potter & the Nocturnals
Late at night, I write my own movie
And I am the star when I close my eyes
Except I look like Julia Roberts
And you're just the poor jerk that I walk on by
For A While - Trisha Yearwood
A good day is any day that you're alive
Good Day - Paul Westerberg
We skirt around the danger zone and don't talk about it later
Marlene On The Wall - Suzanne Vega
There's no more heart to bruise
The Power of Goodbye - Madonna
You got a face with a view
This Must be the Place - Talking Heads
You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Separate Lives - Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin
What are some of your favorite lyrics?
