    I don't know that I have one favorite lyric, but here are the two that immediately come to mind:

    "I'm gonna find myself a girl who can show me what laughter means/
    And we'll fill in the missing colors in each others' paint-by-number dreams"
    - Jackson Browne, "The Pretender"

    "Mona Lisa must've had the highway blues; you can tell by the way she smiles."
    - Bob Dylan, "Visions of Johanna"

    Cheers.

    "It took me too long to realize that I don't take good pictures 'cause I have the kind of beauty that moves"

    Don't worry
    about a thing
    because every little thing
    is gonna be alright
    Rise up this morning
    Smile with the rising sun
    three little birds
    pitch by my doorstep
    singing sweet songs
    melodies pure and true
    this is my message to you-ou-ou
    Bob Marley

    and

    there's hope
    it doesn't cost a thing to smile
    you dont have to pay to laugh
    you better thank God for that

    and

    cause you're beautiful
    like a flower
    more valuable
    than a diamond
    you are powerful
    like a fire
    you can heal the world
    with your mind, and
    there is nothing in the world that you cannot do
    when you believe in you, who are beautiful
    yeah you, who are brilliant
    yeah you, who are powerful
    yeah you, who are resilient.......

    both by India Arie

    "Tell the Devil I said "Hey" when you get back to where you're from" -Bruno Mars, Grenade

    I just think that's such a funny insult!

    "Don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine." - Taylor Swift, Ours

    and about 10,000 eminem lyrics because vulgar or not he's a lyrical genius.

    "No more drama from now on, I promise to focus solely on handlin my responsibilities as a father so I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it, you couldn't lift a single shingle on it! Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up. Cause I'm raising the bar, I'd shoot for the moon, but I'm too busy gazing at stars I feel amazing and I'm I'm not afraid to take a stand. Everybody come take my hand, we'll walk this road together, through the storm whatever weather, cold or warm. Just lettin you know that you're not alone."

    Kind of surprised this didn't take off.

    "I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours."
    - Bob Dylan, "Talkin' World War III Blues"

    How many times have you looked
    At yourself and felt mistreated
    How does it feel to know that
    This life of yours is real
    All of your life you've been led
    To believe your nothin'
    So look at yourself and start to live again

    Live Again - Sevendust


    Through the suffering through the misery and pain
    Never anything but the will to see the day
    Yeahh...
    When the promise might be born
    Light the spark within
    Yeahh...
    Cause I can't take it anymore.

    You know the night's magic, seems to whisper and hush
    While the soft moonlight, seems to shine in your blush
    Can I just have one more moon dance with you, my love?
    Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
    One more moon dance
    In the moonlight
    On a magic night. - Van Morrison, Moondance
  • She takes her time when it's time to get ready.
    Always has her way.
    Always leaves me waiting by the phone.
    She told me more than once to take it slow,
    and I said OK.
    But lately i've been sleeping all alone.

    Favorite lyrics ever?


    Paint yourself a picture
    Of what you wish you looked like
    Maybe then they just might
    Feel an ounce of your pain

    Come into focus
    Step out of the shadows
    It's a losing battle
    There's no need to be ashamed

    'Cause they don't even know you
    All they see is scars
    They don't see the angel
    Living in your heart

    Let them find the real you
    Buried deep within
    Let them know with all you've got
    That you are not your skin
    -Sixx AM

    It really speaks to me, I have a skin condition so the first time I heard this song it really put some things into focus for me. If I have a bad day, I just listen to this song.
