Lyrics that mean a lot to you

[Joseph41]

Ill With Want - The Avett Brothers

I am sick with wanting -
And it's evil how it's got me.
And every day is worse than the one before.

The more I have, the more I think
I'm almost where I need to be -
If only I could get a little more.

[sweetiepi]

Breakaway- Kelly Clarkson

The chorus. <3

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane far away
And breakaway

[geminii]

Never Give Up by Sia

Just the story of this song is amazing. It was made for the movie Lion (2017) about a 5 year old Indian boy who accidentally boarded a train that took him all the way across the country to Calcutta, where he lived on the streets by himself for two weeks, until he was finally adopted by an Australian couple. He grew up in Australia and then 25 years later he decides to use the newly released program 'Google Earth' to search every pixel of India to see if he can spot his childhood home and find his family. And, it's a true story!

Spoiler

I've battled demons that won't let me sleep
Called to the sea but she abandoned me

But I won't never give up, no, never give up, no, no
No, I won't never give up, no, never give up, no, no

And I won't let you get me down
I'll keep gettin' up when I hit the ground
Oh, never give up, no, never give up no, no, oh
I won't let you get me down
I'll keep gettin' up when I hit the ground
Oh, never give up, no, never give up no, no, oh

I'll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
I'll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
I'll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
I'll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh

I have always loved "May It Be" (Enya) <3

Spoiler

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

May it be the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornie utulie (Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie (Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

*not a positive uplifting song* but still one that means a lot to me.

"Turning" from Les Miserables follows a failed revolution where all the uni students who revolted were killed. The women continue with life, washing their laundry as they chat and reflect on the useless loss of life.

Spoiler

Did you see them
Going off to fight
Children of the barricade
Who didn't last a night?
Did you see them
Lying where they died?
Someone used to cradle them
And kiss them when they cried.
Did you see them lying side by side?

Who will wake them?
No one ever will.
No one ever told them
That a summer day could kill.
They were schoolboys,
Never held a gun -
Waiting for a new world
That would rise up like the sun.

Where's that new world
now the fighting's done?

Nothing changes. Nothing ever will.
Every year another brat, another mouth to fill.

Same old story.
What's the use of tears?
What's the use of praying
When there's nobody who hears?

Turning, turning, turning, turning,
Turning through the years.
Minutes into hours, and hours into years.
Nothing changes. Nothing ever can.
Round about the roundabout and back where you began...

[Hungry4Apples]

'If I call you an animal, aint nothing to it, gangster rap made me do it'

[brenden]

"Wanna be alone
Wanna be surrounded
Wanna be transient
Wanna be grounded
But all the dissonance disappears from me
When you drape an arm across my knee
Intentionally lazily and"

Soooooo good

From the same song as that mentioned in the OP:

Spoiler

I'm a man in love, writing you a letter.
Will you take it?
Will you keep it?
Will you read it - believe it?

I love you.
I'm sorry.

Seriously an amazing song. Listen here.
