Lie Here With Me

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

~Snow Patrol, Chasing Cars

How Far I Haven't Come

Every mile, a memory; every song, another scene,
From some old movie going back in time you and me.
Every day, a page turned down; every night, a lonesome sound,
Like a freight train rollin' through my dreams:
Every mile, a memory.

Funny how no matter where I run,
Round every bend I only see,
Just how far I haven't come.

~Dierks Bentley, Every Mile a Memory

Like an Anchor

"Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe, you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be."



~Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

Laughing

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.

~Audrey Hepburn

Fire

You can brave decisions
Before you crumble up inside
Spend your time asking everyone else's permission
Then run away and hide
Or you can sit on chimneys
Put some fire up your ass
No need to know what you're doing or waiting for

~Damien Rice, "Coconut Skins"

Too Late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin new I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

~One Republic/Timbaland, "Apologize"

Scared

"It's good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose."

~Dr. Richard Weber, Grey's Anatomy

Having Someone

"I think it's better to have someone, even if it hurts, even if it is the most painful thing you have done, even if it's the most painful thing you've ever had to do. I think it's better to have someone."

~Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

Are You Gonna?

Are you gonna live your life wonderin’ standing in the back lookin’ around?
Are you gonna waste your time thinkin' how you’ve grown up or how you missed out?
Things are never gonna be the way you want.
Where's it gonna get you acting serious?
Things are never gonna be quite what you want.
Or even at 25, you gotta start sometime.
I’m on my feet, I’m on the floor, I’m good to go.
Now all I need is just to hear a song I know.
I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.
I wanna fall in love tonight.

~Jimmy Eat World, Praise Chorus

I Want My Money

"I want my money bitch!"

~Pearl, The Landlord

Guide

"We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be."

~Jane Austen, spoken by Fanny Price, Mansfield Park

Christmas

"If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last"

~Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Old City Bar

First Kiss

"For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don't want to. Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it's everything."


~Alex Karev, Grey's Anatomy

Might Have Been

"It's never too late to be who you might have been."

-George Eliot
