What's your favorite song lyric of all time

[Anonymous]

I'll see you in my dreams
Yeah, up around the river bend
For death is not the end
And I'll see you in my dreams

-"I'll See You in My Dreams" Bruce Springsteen

Are you there?
Say a prayer for the pretender
Who started out so young and strong
Only to surrender


--Jackson Browne, The Pretender

I hang around dying to be tortured
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel
So in this almost empty gin palace
Through a two-way looking glass
You see your Alice

--Elvis Costello, Beyond Belief

Sometimes I think life is just a rodeo
The trick is to ride and make it to the bell

I'd like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company
It's the real thing

My favorite song from the 90s.

A barony of ivy in the trees
Expanding out its empire by degrees
And all the branches burst to bloom
In the boom
Heaven sent this cardinal maroon
To decorate our living room

I feel that when I’m old
I’ll look at you and know
The world was beautiful

-Polaris, Jimmy Eat World

When I was all messed up
And I had opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed

-Ultraviolet (Light My Way) U2

I’ve heard both bands play those songs live, and it was so freaking cool.

A close second choice:

All the wonders I have seen I will see a second time
From inside of the ages through your eyes

I was going to submit the first lyric from Leonard Cohen’s Hallalujah - he really was a lyrical genius

And his Anthem lyric is so poignant

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take the breath that's true
I look to you, and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth

You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart, and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there

"I'd die for you," that's easy to say
We have a list of people that we would take
A bullet for them, a bullet for you
A bullet for everybody in this room
But I don't seem to see many bullets coming through
Metaphorically, I'm the man
But literally, I don't know what I'd do

Twenty one Pilots

If you want tenderness
I got tenderness
And I see through
To the heart of you
If you want a man
Who will understand
You don't have to look very far
I can love you
Girl, I can love you

Baby, I can love you like that
I will make you my world
Move heaven and earth
If you were my girl
I would give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything
That's precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that

I love p%say and p%say loves me
Like the lemon to the lime,
Like the bumble to the bee.
