Inspired by a conversation I had with D a couple of weeks ago, here are some lyrics that I very much identify with and/or invoke strong feelings within me:

I want to be the girl with the most cake.

Doll Parts – Hole

If I knew just the pin to hold in I’d build walls and you know, you know I would.

Open Up – The Dead Weather.

The future is no place to place your better days.

Cry Freedom – Dave Matthews Band.

Sometimes I think that I’m bigger than the sound.

Cheated Hearts – Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Hey, but I don’t care ’cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice,
And it’s been here…silent all these years.

Silent All These Years – Tori Amos

Well I’ll fall right in to keep you out. I’d like to tell you all about it.

Turn Into – Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Ok I’ll admit. I’m not innocent. I did everything and I would again.

Graveyard Whistling – Nothing But Thieves

I wish I could buy back the woman you stole.

Y Control – Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Well, maybe I’m a crook for stealing your heart away
Yeah, maybe I’m a crook for not caring for it
Yeah, maybe I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad person
Well, baby, I know.

Love Love Love – Of Monsters And Men

I don’t know what I’m doing, don’t know, should I change my mind?
I can’t decide, there’s too many variations to consider
No thing I do don’t do no thing but bring me more to do
It’s true, I do imbue my blue unto myself, I make it bitter

On The Bound – Fiona Apple

My hopes are so high,
that your kiss might kill me.
So won’t you kill me,
so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury,
or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

Hands Down – Dashboard Confessional
