"So when I call you in the middle of the night
And I'm choking on the words 'cause I miss you
Baby don't tell me I'm out of time
I got so much of my loving to give you"

My favorite is by Bob Dylan. From his song Visions of Johanna.The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face. That is just so telling. What a great line.

My favorite lines are from the song 'Love You Goodbye' by One Direction. The lines are:

I know there's nothing I can do to change it
But is it something that can be negotiated?
My heart's already breaking, baby, go on, twist the knife...

That's the way of the world........

This statement is so true. Regardless of our thoughts.

The world just keeps on turning... we finally get in sink with the flow.

My favorite is from an Emily Dickinson poem.
I had the words printed on the back of a custom shirt.

"“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -"

"The weight of lies will bring you down and follow you to every town cause nothin' happens here that doesn't happen there. And when you run make sure you run to somethin' and not away from cause lies don't need an aero-plane to chase you anywhere" -Weight of Lies song by the Avett Brothers. I adore everything about that song.

My favorite lines are from the song 'Infinity' by One Direction.

How many nights does it take to count the stars?
That's the time it would take to fix my heart
Oh, baby, I was there for you
All I ever wanted was the truth, yeah, yeah
How many nights have you wished someone would stay?
Lay awake only hoping they're okay
I never counted all of mine
If I tried, I know it would feel like infinity
Infinity, infinity, yeah
Infinity


It really touches my heart whenever I listen to these lines and the tunes of these lines make it more special to me.

My favourite lyric from the song Crossfire.

He'd trade his guns for love
But he's caught in the crossfire
And he keeps waking up
But it's not to the sound of birds

And the chorus.

Heaven, if you sent us down
So we can build a playground
For the sinners to play as saints
You'd be so proud of what we've made
I hope you got some beds around
'Cause you're the only refuge now
For every mother, every child, every brother
Who's caught in the crossfire
Dream up something wild and improbable.
-Strange The Dreamer, Laini Taylor
