Here I will go first.

 

Song: Skinny Love
Artist: Bon Iver
Lyrics: 

And I told you to be patient

And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

And now all your love is wasted
And then who the hell was I?
And I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Ooh, ooh

way too many to pick one

 

Song: Time

Artist: Pink Floyd

Lyrics:

 

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

 

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

 

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

 

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Song: Renegade

Artist: Manafest

Lyrics: 

It's not like I'm not trying to work it out

If things are, so much harder when you're not around

 

I'm not always who you think I am

Sometimes I feel like I'm the renegade

And I can't just sit back and watch it fade

This time I hope you see, I'm not the enemy

[SunLight]

 

Song: No Surprises

Artist: Radiohead

Lyrics:

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired and unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent

This is my final fit, my final bellyache with

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises please (let me out of here)

[Kowalski]

I know many great lyrics, but this is one of my favourites:

 

Song: Numb
Artist: Linkin Park

 

 

Lyrics:

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you...
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there

Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Ass in the sand,

Not a worry in the world,

A Cold beer in my hand." - Zac Brown Band
