Song Lyrics

[West Coast Dude]

Kelly Clarkson wrote it with help from David Hodges and Ben Moody of Evanescence.

 

Thanks Collan for giving me the heads up.

Yes, Kelly Clarkson. Also, a little additional information - the song was taken from a diary entry that Kelly wrote as a child when she was dealing with the divorce of her parents.

 

The song carries a few different meanings to me, which is why I like it so much.

Pat thanks for the background on the song too!

Lola, by The Kinks, because it's romantic and awesomely awesomely cute and just about my favourite song ever -

 

"Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy

But when I looked in her eyes well i almost fell for my Lola

la la la la Lola... "

 

"Girls will be boys and boys will be girls

it's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola

la la la la Lola... "

 

 

and also a song called "Beds are burning" by Midnight Oil, because it gives me chills (if you listen to it though- the verses aren't great. Listen to the chorus) (and btw- NOT all Aussies sound like him. and Yes, most of us can dance better than him too).

 

"The time has come

to say fair's fair

to pay the rent

to pay our share

The time has come

a fact's a fact

it belong's to them

let's give it back

 

How can we dance when our earth is turning

How do we sleep while our beds are burning

How can we dance when our earth is turning

How do we sleep while our beds are burning?"

 

 

But mostly Lola

I like the How can we lines. Thanks for sharing.

[Collan]

One of the most beautiful and poetic songs of romatic love ever written.

 

Longer

 

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean

Higher than any bird ever flew

Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens

I've been in love with you

 

Stronger than any mountain cathedral

Truer than any tree ever grew

Deeper than any forest primeval

I am in love with you

 

I'll bring fire in the winters

You'll send showers in the springs

We'll fly through the falls and summers

With love on our wings

 

Through the years as the fire starts to mellow

Burning lines in the book of our lives

Though the binding cracks

And the pages start to yellow

I'll be in love with you

I'll be in love with you

 

[instrumental Interlude]

 

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean

Higher than any bird ever flew

Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens

I've been in love with you

I am in love with you

 

[Brandon]

"A long walk" because its the most chillest, understandable, relaxing and entertaining song in know!

 

Your background it ain't squeaky clean shitSometimes we all got to swim upstream

You ain't no saint, we all are sinners

But you put your good foot down and make your soul a winner

I respect that, man you're so phat

And you're all that, plus supreme

Then you're humble man I'm numb

Yo with feeling, I can feel everything that you bring

 

Let's take, a long walk around the park, after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations

Elevations, maybe we can talk about Revelation 3:17

 

Or maybe we can see a movie

Or maybe we can see a play on Saturday (Saturday)

Or maybe we can roll a tree and feel the breeze and listen to a symphony

Or maybe chill and just be, or maybe

Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots or maybe eat some passion fruit

Or maybe cry to the blues

Or maybe we could just be silent

Come on, Come on

Leona Lewis Ft. OneRepublic - Lost Then Found

 

Staring at tears on the pages

Of letters that I never could write

I know love isn't painless

But it's worth the risk

It's worth the fight

I'm playing it over and over

I wish that I could turn back time

Maybe we were wrong

But we could be right

 

Why do we say things we can't take back?

Why do we miss what we never had?

Both of us fell to the ground

The love was so lost

It couldn't be found

 

What will it take to forget who's to blame

I'm tired of crying at the sound of your name

Why don't we turn this around?

Love ain't the enemy

Don't you want to be

Lost then found?

Lost then found?

Lost then found?

Love ain't the enemy

We could be lost then found

 

Empty glasses on tables

Echoes fill these rooms

The memories go where we go

Their like a suitcase

That you never lose

With the good lord's eyes upon me

I swear to make things right

Whatever we lost

I know we can find

 

The words come pouring out

Can't stop the rain

Wish that you could take them back

But it's too late, it's too late

 

We could be lost then found...

[Tiger]

This is one of my favorite country break-up songs, Leave the Pieces by The Wreckers. The video has the lyrics, but I'll post them anyway.

You're not sure that you love me
But you're not sure enough to let me go
Baby it ain't fair, you know
To just keep me hanging 'round

You say you don't want to hurt me
Don't want to see my tears
So why are you still standing here
Just watching me drown?

And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road

There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go

Now you can drag out the heartache
Baby you can make it quick
Really get it over with
And just let me move on

Don't concern yourself
With this mess you left for me
I can clean it up, you see
Just as long as you're gone

And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road

There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go

You're not making up your mind
It's killing me and wasting time
I need so much more than that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road

There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go
Leave the pieces when you go
Oh yeah, leave the pieces when you go

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Leave the pieces when you go

[MidNight_Love]

There is nothing you can do that I have not already done to myself,

There is nothing you can do that I have not already done to myself,

There is nothing you can DO that I have not already done to myself,

Never wanted to dance with nobody, not you!

 

 

 

Be nice!

If you want a song whose words are sheer poetry then Stardust is one of the front runners.

 

 

 

Stardust

And now the purple dusk of twilight time

Steals across the meadows of my heart

High up in the sky the little stars climb

Always reminding me that we're apart

 

You wander down the lane and far away

Leaving me a song that will not die

Love is now the stardust of yesterday

The music of the years gone by

 

 

Sometimes I wonder why I spend

The lonely night dreaming of a song

The melody haunts my reverie

And I am once again with you

When our love was new

And each kiss an inspiration

But that was long ago

Now my consolation

Is in the stardust of a song

 

Beside a garden wall

When stars are bright

You are in my arms

The nightingale tells his fairy tale

of paradise where roses grew

Though I dream in vain

In my heart it will remain

My stardust melody

The memory of love's refrain

[NightOwl88]

There a lot of songs that I'm a fan of, and my favorites tend to shift with my mood or the way life has been going at the moment, right now there are two that I can count as favorites. I guess that they both could be consideed somehwat depressing songs but I can't seem to help myself, I just enjoy them far too much.

 

Get off on the pain - Gary Allan

 

I don't know why I love women,

That love to do me wrong.

I don't know why my life sounds like

A heart-broke country song.

I ain't really happy,

Until the sky starts driving rain.

Lately, I just get off on the pain.

 

My whole life I been pickin' fights,

There ain't no way to win.

There's a hundred scars and should've-run-aways,

Now tattooed on my skin.

 

There's a side of me that just won't stop

Dancin' in the flame.

Lately, I just get off on the pain.

 

'Cause I love the long-shots,

And the left-out lost causes.

Hangin' out in the back of the pack,

With the dark horses.

 

I ride the wrong road,

Just as fast as I can.

God knows there's no one else to blame.

Sometimes, I think I get off on the pain.

 

I wake up every morning,

A thousand miles from home,

Praying for forgiveness

For this aching in my bones.

 

It would be so easy,

To find a better way.

Oh, but I know I'll never change.

 

'Cause I love the long-shots,

And the left-out lost causes.

Hangin' out in the back of the pack,

With the dark horses.

I ride the wrong road, just as fast as I can.

God knows there's no one else to blame.

Sometimes, I think I get off on the pain.

 

'Cause I love the long-shots,

And the left-out lost causes.

Hangin' out in the back of the pack,

With the dark horses.

 

I ride the wrong road,

Just as fast as I can.

God knows there's no one else to blame.

 

I know I'm the only one to blame.

Sometimes, I think I get off on the pain.

Get off on the pain.

 

 

Nickelback - Never gonna be alone

Time, is going by, so much faster than I

And I'm starting to regret not spending all of here with you

Now I'm wondering why I've kept this bottled inside

So I'm starting to regret not selling all of it to you

So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know

 

You're never gonna be alone from this moment on

If you ever feel like letting go, I won't let you fall

You're never gonna be alone, I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone

 

And now, as long as I can, I'm holding on with both hands

'Cause forever I believe

That there's nothing I could need but you

So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know

 

You're never gonna be alone from this moment on

If you ever feel like letting go, I won't let you fall

When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on

[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/n/nickelback-lyrics/never-gonna-be-alone-lyrics.html ]

We're gonna see the world out, I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone

 

Oh, you've gotta live every single day

Like it's the only one, what if tomorrow never comes?

Don't let it slip away, could be our only one

You know it's only just begun, every single day

Maybe our only one, what if tomorrow never comes?

Tomorrow never comes

 

Time is going by so much faster than I

And I'm starting to regret not telling all of this to you

 

You're never gonna be alone from this moment on

If you ever feel like letting go, I won't let you fall

When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on

We're gonna see the world out, I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone

 

I'm gonna be there always

I won't be missing a word all day

I'm gonna be there always

I won't be missing a word all day

[JohnN53]

I record and produce music. One of my favorite lyrics stories is told by members of a band while they were in another studio in town. They were struggling over getting the lyrics just right for a song and had been stuck for a while. The owner of that studio said, "You guys are trying too hard. You're over-thinking it. Let me give you the lyrics to a great rock 'n' roll song. It's one we've all sung along with at some point. Classic lyrics." The studio owner then gave the band the lyrics to Led Zeppelin's D'yer Mak'er:

 

 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, You don't have to go oh oh oh oh

You don't have to go oh oh oh oh, you don't have to go.

Ah ah ah ah ah aye, All those tears I cry ah ah ah aye,

All those tears I cry oh oh ah aye, Baby please don't go.

 

When I read the letter you wrote me, it made me mah mah mad

When I read the words that it told me,

It made me sah sah sad, But I still love you so

I can't let you go, I love you, ooh baby I love you.

 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, Every breath I take oh oh oh oh,

Oh Every move I make hey hey, Oh Baby please don't go.

Ah ah ah ah ah aye, You hurt me to my soul oh oh oh oh,

You hurt me to my soul ohh ohh,

Darling please don't go.

 

When I read the letter you sent me, it made me mah mah mad

When I read the news that it brought me,

It made me sah sah sad, But I still love you so

I can't let you go, I love you, ooh baby I love you.

 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, You don't have to go oh oh oh oh,

You don't have to go oh oh oh oh,

Oh baby, baby, please please please please

ah ah ah ah ah baby ah ah I really love you baby

oo oo oo oo oo darlin' oooohhhh oh

Oh baby I still love you so,

Oh baby I still love you so ohohoh, ooo, oh oh oh oh oh yeah

(Why?) ah ah oh ah ah ah oooohhh

(Why?) ah ah ah ah ah, oooooooooooooo

(Why?) Ohhh baby....

 

 

There are some great lyrics.

My favorite is Darkness by Darren Hayes

Been spending so much time underground

I guess my eyes adjusted

To the lack of light

I got covered in darkness, covered in darkness

Hibernating, always waiting for something new

Happiness always ending

In the blink of an eye there was no one attending, no one attending

 

It doesn't really matter where it all began

All I know

I got covered in darkness, covered in darkness

 

Ever wonder why I never really truly connect

Although my eyes are open

I can hold your gaze but I'm never connected, never connected

I am famous for my generosity

They say I am the kindest

It is easier to give than receive love, give than receive love

 

It doesn't really matter where it all began

All I know

I was covered in darkness, covered in darkness

 

Turning pages over

Run away to nowhere

And it's hard to take control

When your enemy's old and afraid of you

You discover that the monster you were running from

Is the monster in you

 

Better to hold on to love

Better to hold on to love

Change will come

 

It doesn't really matter where it all began

All I know

I was covered in darkness, covered in darkness

 

It doesn't really matter where it all began

Cause all I know

I was lost, I was lost

No, no

 

It doesn't really matter where it all began, no no

All I know

I was lost, I feel lost, lost

No...

[Greg_A]

I don't know if I have one single favorite, but I have one that leaps to mind right now because it reminds me of someone I loved very much who is gone now.

 

So Beautiful

 

Darren Hayes

 

Whether I’m right or wrong

There’s no phrase that hits

Like an ocean needs the sand

Or a dirty old shoe that fits

And if all the world was perfect

I would only ever want to see your scars

You know they can have their universe

We’ll be in the dirt designing stars

 

And darlin’ you know

You make me feel so beautiful

Nowhere else in the world I wanna be

You make feel so beautiful

 

Whether I’m up or down

There’s no crowd to please

I’m like a faith without a clause to believe in it

And if all the world was smiling

I would only ever want to see your frown

You know they can sail away in sunsets

We’ll be right here stranded on the ground

Just happy to be found

 

You make me feel so beautiful

Nowhere else in the world I wanna be

You make feel so beautiful

 

I have lost my illusions

I have drowned in your words

I have left my confusion to a cynical world

I am throwing myself at things I don’t understand

Discover enlightenment holding your hand

 

You are…

So Beautiful

 

 

 

[Greg_A]

And I wouldn't be me if I didn't post the lyrics to this song.

 

Whitesnake

The Deeper the Love

 

When I look back over everything I've done I know you must have cried a river of tears

Cause you were there when I was feeling low to walk me through my darkest fears

So when the sun goes down and those nights are growing colder

I will be there looking over your shoulder

 

And the deeper the love, the stronger the emotion

And the stronger the love, the deeper the devotion

 

There were times I'd almost let you go when I thought I needed to break free

But you were there to whisper in my ear why don't you share your dreams with me

So when the sun goes down and those nights are growing colder

I will be there looking over your shoulder

 

And the deeper the love, the stronger the emotion

And the stronger the love, the deeper the devotion

 

I don't mind what you're doing to me

I don't mind cause your all I can see

I don't mind baby you mean the world to me

When the sun goes down and those nights are growing colder

I will be there looking over your shoulder

Baby, baby, baby

 

So when the sun goes down and those nights are growing colder

I will be ther looking over your shoulder

 

Cause the deeper the love, the stronger the emotion

And the stronger the love, the deeper the devotion

 

 

 

 

 

[Wulfenite]

I know it isn't the original, but i like Feeling Good, by Muse.

 

Birds flying high you know how I feel

Sun in the sky you know how I feel

Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

 

It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good

 

Fish in the sea you know how I feel

River running free you know how I feel

blossom in the trees you know how I feel

 

It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good

 

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know

Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean

Sleep in peace when day is done

And this old world is a new world

And a bold world

For me

 

Stars when you shine you know how I feel

Scent of the pine you know how I feel

Oh freedom is mine

And you know how I feel

 

It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good

[Tiger]

Here's a song that talks about how I feel right now.

 

Heart "Alone"

 

I hear the ticking of the clock

I'm lying here the room's pitch dark

I wonder where you are tonight

No answer on the telephone

And the night goes by so very slow

Oh I hope that it won't end though

Alone

 

Till now I always got by on my own

I never really cared until I met you

And now it chills me to the bone

How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone

 

You dont know how long I have wanted

to touch your lips and hold you tight

You don't know how long I have waited

and I was going to tell you tonight

But the secret is still my own

and my love for you is still unknown

Alone

 

Till now I always got by on my own

I never really cared until I met you

And now it chills me to the bone

 

How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone

Alone, alone
