the cadence of what she says is well

I'll think I'll copy Jansen and start recording all my favorite lyrics :D
[I've always wanted to collect them anyway, why not do it on my blog]

"You won't have to strain to look into my eyes. I'll be your winter coat, buttoned and zipped straight to the throat with the collar up, so you won't catch a cold."
-Brand New Colony by The Postal Service

"If you cut me I suppose I would bleed the colors of the evening sky."
-The Technicolor Phase by Owl City

"Take us high to sing the world goodbye...
My darling, we're both on the wing, look out and keep on singing and we can go anywhere."
-On the Wing by Owl City

"People talking without speaking; people hearing without listening; people writing songs that no one ever shared."
-The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel

"How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry? And how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind."
-Blowin' in the Wind by Bob Dylan

"And when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night, you took your life as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you."
-Starry Starry Night by Don Mclean

"I'm a war of head versus heart, and it's always this way. My head is weak; my heart always speaks before I know what it will say."
-Crooked Teeth by Death Cab For Cutie

"But there's no blame for how our love did slowly fade, and now that it's gone, it's like it wasn't there at all, and here I rest where disappointment and regret collide, lying awake at night."
-Title and Registration by Death Cab For Cutie

"Remember, whatever, it seems like forever ago. The regrets are useless in my mind- she's in my head. I must confess; and in the darkest nights, if my memory serves me right, I'll never turn back time.."
-Whatsername by Green Day

"Take away the sensation inside; bittersweet migraine in my head. It's like a throbbing toothache of the mind."
-Give Me Novocaine by Green Day

"One light, one mind flashing in the dark, blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts."
-Minority by Green Day

"I'm gonna stand up; I'm gonna let go. You know, you know, no, you don't, you don't. I'm gonna shine on in the hearts of men."
-All These Things That I've Done by The Killers

"When you find yourself in the thick of it, help yourself to a bit of what is all around you."
-Martha My Dear by The Beatles

"Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight."
-I'm Looking Through You by The Beatles

"Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you."
-Julia by The Beatles


"And when the broken-hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer- let it be."
-Let It Be by The Beatles

"With our love we could change the world. If they only knew."
-Within You Without You by The Beatles

"Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one."
-Imagine by John Lennon

Hmm it's about 12 now, so I should go to sleep. Gotta wake up early tomorrow for an Empire State Building tour and a ferry cruise and shopping and then I get to see that "Stomp" show...you know with the trash cans and stuff. I'm in NYC, btw. xD
Maybe I'll add more later :)
