Up Until Now, I Had Sworn To Myself That Im Content With Loneliness // Cuz None Of It Was Ever Worth

Up until now, I had sworn to myself that I’m content with loneliness // Cuz none of it was ever worth the risk // But you are the only exception

One of my favorite love songs.  I love the story of a girl breaking down all the walls she built for this person.  These lyrics are equal parts deep and sweet, and I love the story that they tell.  Plus Hayley sounds awesome as always.

The people fade away and all stars are just a flicker // And you're left there all alone // When there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around // All the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out

Love this song from Matchbox Twenty! I’m a huge fan of Rob Thomas, both vocally and lyrically. I love how this song starts the North album.  These lyrics are beautiful to me, and like always, I love the emotion and intensity Rob brings to every word. I also love the instrumentation and how it complements Rob’s voice and lyrics so well. 

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? // I could really use a wish right now

My favorite B.o.B song!  I love these lyrics, and that metaphor. Also, Hayley Williams delivers her lyrics in a way only she could. The cinematography in this video is cool beautiful and cool as well. 

Hey there Delilah, don’t you worry about the distance // I’m right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen // Close your eyes // Listen to my voice, it’s my disguise // I’m by your side

Hands down one of the best love songs ever written.  This song will never not be sweet.  These lyrics are absolutely amazing and capture the spirit of a long distance relationship with a musician perfectly.

You know I loved a girl who said that I could change the world // If only I was brave enough to live the life in front of me

Love this song from Goo Goo Dolls. This album was so good, but I especially love this one. Johnny voice sounds great as always.  One thing I love about the Goo Goo Dolls is their amazing songwriting, and these lyrics don’t disappoint either.  All of their songs have at least one great lyric.

The fact is fiction // Suspicion is the new religion // America listens as the story is told // With the eye on the truth as the story unfolds // But the ratings determine which story was sold // We’re selling the news

Every word of this Switchfoot song rings true.  In the current climate of America, dominated by “fake news” and “alternative facts”, this song is more accurate than ever. Jon Foreman captures the spirit of the powers that be spinning the truth to benefit them, something we’re seeing a lot of right now. One great thing about this song is that it spans many genres, with rap-like verses mixing into their signature alt rock sound. With his amazing lyrics and great voice, this song is a must hear.
