list 43 of my favorite song lyrics

All this stuff is making me old
It’s dangerous to live I am told
This planet looks so cute but it’s cold

I need someone who’s good, someone who’s true
Someone who’s nice, I need someone like you
Hallelujah, my newfound lover

I couldn’t go back and I couldn’t go on
Couldn’t keep track and I needed someone
Hallelujah, my newfound lover
Love of my life

The moment you came into the room
All my flowers burst into bloom
We will meet again but how soon?

I need someone who’s good, someone who’s true
Someone who’s nice I need someone like you
Hallelujah, my newfound lover

I couldn’t feel love and I couldn’t think straight
I couldn’t feel trust and I couldn’t trust fate
Hallelujah, my newfound lover

I couldn’t go back and I couldn’t go on
Couldn’t keep track and I needed someone
Hallelujah, my newfound lover

I couldn’t feel love and I couldn’t think straight
I couldn’t feel trust and I couldn’t trust fate
Hallelujah, my newfound lover
Love of my life

I can’t sleep at night, I’m thinking of you
And when you’re away, I’m so blue
I’m thinking of you

I’ll laugh my eyes out, I’ll feel the rhythm
I’ll pretend you’re the reason
To make anything and everything that is scented blossom
I’ll run my fingers through your hair until your eyes blink out

All night long I layed in the grass
And listened with headphones to the saddest songs
It was a spiral of a night
You were spread out across the sky
The way you skinned your knees chasing cars
They’re taking you away

I’ll laugh my eyes out, I’ll feel the rhythm
I’ll pretend you’re the reason
To make anything and everything that is scented blossom
I’ll run my fingers through your hair
Until your eyes blink out

Just like ships, we float through each other’s lives
Through the waters of beauty and grace
We will one day dock at the same port
And give rest to our weary legs
There is a light placed up in the sky
Like the stained glass, time slows down
I wish I could sleep, I wish I could dream
I love the sound of my feet against these empty streets
I saw the whole town burn down
I’m walking away
Nothing stays, these feelings have wings
Our arms outstretched, we are soaring

It’s just a day like any other day
A beautiful day for an accident, let’s say
Yes, it’s just a day like any other day
Just one step closer to the end of the buffet

La la la la la la
La la la la
‘Cause we’re waiting to die

Now it’s a good time for a tasty glass of wine
Let’s not burden our minds with carbon dioxide
And everyone hurry, don’t sit and abide
Yes, everyone stand up, we’re running out of time

La la la la la la
La la la la
‘Cause we’re waiting here to die

Look what a terrible mess that we’ve made
The sun beats us down as we search for the shade
And, yes, it is true, death is everyone’s fate
But we’ve made it this far, it’s time to celebrate

La la la la la
La la la la
‘Cause we’re waiting here to die

Gray, quiet and tired and mean
Picking at a worried seam
I try to make you mad at me over the phone
Red eyes and fire and signs
I’m taken by a nursery rhyme
I want to make a ray of sunshine and never leave home

No amount of coffee, no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine
No, nothing else will do
I’ve gotta have you, I’ve gotta have you

The road gets cold
There’s no spring in the middle this year
I’m the new chicken clucking open hearts and ears
Oh, such a prima donna, sorry for myself
But green, it is also summer
And I won’t be warm till I’m lying in your arms

I see it all through a telescope:
Guitar, suitcase, and a warm coat
Lying in the back of the blue boat
Humming a tune…

Jesus Christ, that’s a pretty face
The kind you’d find on someone that could save
If they don’t put me away
It’ll be a miracle

Do you believe you’re missing out?
That everything good is happening somewhere else
With nobody in your bed
The night is hard to get through

And I will die all alone
And when I arrive I won’t know anyone

Jesus Christ, I’m alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
Because this problem is gonna last
More than the weekend

Jesus Christ I’m not scared to die
But I’m a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot
Or do I float through the ceiling

Or do I divide and pull apart
Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark
This ship went down in sight of land
And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?

I know you’re coming in the night like a thief
But I’ve had some time, O Lord, to hone my lying technique
I know you think that I’m someone you can trust
But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up
So do you think that we could work out a sign
So I’ll know it’s you and that it’s over so I won’t even try
I know you’re coming for the people like me
But we all got wood and nails
And we turn out hate in factories
We all got wood and nails
And we turn out hate in factories
We all got wood and nails
And we sleep inside of this machine

It seems as good a day as any
To start my trek across the ocean
With no funds for ship or sail
I’ll use my legs and my devotion.

An aqua bike will be my vessel
And high adventure the land I seek
So farewell friends who’ve come to gather
Waving hankies, tear on cheek, oh…

It’s a long long way to go on a pedalo, a pedalo…

My joy was surging, spirit soaring
The sky was huge, the sea was placid
But soon my vim was somewhat dimmed
By bucketloads of lactic acid.

And then a ship took me aboard
Was full of whiskey and hearty sailors
I rested up, then pedaled onwards
Once I found out they were whalers

It’s a long long way to go on a pedalo, a pedalo…

I saw a mermaid, thwarted pirates
Wrestled sea squids, this and more
But as I ponder that horizon
I fancy someone moved the shore,

oh… Hope can come, and hope can go
But for the most part seems to go
But still I huff, and still I puff
On my yellow pedalo

It’s a long long way to go on a pedalo, a pedalo…

Take what you need while there’s time
The city will be earth in a short while
If I’m not mistaken, it’s been in flames
You and I will escape to the seaside

There is a storm in the distance
The wind breathing warning of its imminence
There is a lighthouse, five hundred yards down
You and I will be safe there

There is a girl who haunts that lighthouse
She saved me, I was swimming
So young I almost drowned
Under the water, she sang a story
Of losing her lover, she calls a warning

Love, you are foolish, you’re tired
Your sleeplessness makes you a liar
The city is burning
The ocean is turning
Our only chance is the lighthouse

Her lover was a sailor
She went and she waited there
The door locked from the outside
Lover never arrived so she sings there
Soft as a siren, luring the ships off their course
How alarming

We went in, we climbed up and looked out
The door locked from the outside
Three ghosts in a lighthouse

And it came to me then
That every plan is a tiny prayer to Father Time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself
That I’d already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
But I knew that you were a truth
I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself

‘Cause there’s no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous paces bracing for bad news
Then the nurse comes around and everyone lifts their head
But I’m thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die

So who’s going to watch you die
So who’s going to watch you die
So who’s going to watch you die

You know, you know, you know i’m a liar
I can’t, i can’t get burnt by the fire
but you, had too

i know, its you, when you come around crying
i cannot sleep with a room full of trying
but you, had too
its not cool
ohh ohh, the things you do

dont make me cry, she said she doesnt want to go
dont make me cry, I can’t make her so i wont

You come to me in a terrible hour,
i can not sleep, so i’ll go have a shower
but you, had too, its not cool
ohh ohh, the things you do

dont make me cry, she said she doesnt want to go
dont make me cry, I cant make her so i wont
dont make me cry, she said she doesnt want to go
dont make me cry, I cant make her so i wont

you know, you know, you know im a liar
