favorite song lyrics

i'm one of "those people" who always overanalyze song lyrics.. here's some of my favorites, a mix of old standbys and modern tracks..

and everytime i've held a rose, it seems i've only felt the thorns
~billy joel,
and so it goes
l is for the way you look at me...
~nat king cole,
L-O-V-E
and it's not easy.. to be me
~five for fighting,
superman
anything plain can be lovely, anything loved can be lost
~bnl,
falling for the first time
and life barrels on like a runaway train, where the passengers change, but they don't change anything; you get off, someone else can get on
~ben folds,
fred jones part 2
the trees, they grow higher.. and the leaves, they turn green. and oh me oh my, the things that i have seen. don't be surprised little boy, when the world, it turns out mean. life is what happens in between
~jude,
in between
in a restless world like this is, love is ended before it's begun
~nat king cole,
when i fall in love
blue-eyed boy meets a brown eyed girl..
~u2,
the sweetest thing
i've got the horse right here, his name is paul revere
~guys and dolls,
fugue for tinhorns
cecilia, you're breakin' my heart; you're shakin' my confidence daily..
~simon and garfunkel,
cecilia
if i can be your bodyguard, you can be my long-lost pal
~paul simon,
call me al
he's going the distance, he's going for speed...
~cake,
going the distance
it's raining in baltimore...
~counting crows,
raining in baltimore
i used to sit and watch the pouring rain
i used to wish to be back home again
i hadn't the strength then
i hadn't the chance to reveal it
but it's all in your hands...
~guster,
mona lisa

i'll take you to the edge
go across that window
and i'll carry you there
~guster,
window
if you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.
~counting crows,
mrs potter's lullaby
waiting to tell you how i get my ends and my beginnings mixed up too
just the way you do
thought if i told you
you might want to stay for just another day or two
~counting crows,
high life


it's true i must be going, but i swear i wont be long
there isn't that much ocean between boston and st. john's
i'm a rover and i'm bound to sail away; i'm a rover, can you love me anyway?
~GBS,
boston and st john's
it's a beautiful day, but there's always some sorrow
it's a double edged knife, but there's always tomorrow
it's up to you now if you sink or swim
keep the faith and your ship will come in
~GBS,
ordinary day
