I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time

Just What I Needed by The Cars

You probably think this song is about you

Oh man, I want to quote this whole damn song, it is some amazing, evocative? cutting songwriting. I will restrain myself to:

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse, naturally, won
Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend

Love The Cars, especially this one.

You're looking at me
Me looking at you
We could've have it all, a world of our own
I never thought we could be pistols at dawn!
I'd rather die tonight
If I have to
What would you ever think that I'd take a bullet for you

Oh, but now old friends they're acting strange
And they shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

Joni Mitchell, Both Sides Now

I especially love lines 3 and 4. We do lose and gain every day. And how could a person not change if you went from regular person to a star at a relatively young age?

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin'
Funny when you're dead, how people start listenin'

The Band Perry

Let's begin now
I woke up this morning and I said
You know instead of waitin' for a good day to happen, you know
Waitin' around through up's and down's, you know
We're gonna have
We're gonna have
We're gonna have a good day
And all my homies gonna ride today
And all these mommies look fly today
And all we wanna do is get by today
Heyyy
We're gonna have a good day
And ain't nobody gotta cry today
'Cause ain't nobody gonna die today
You save that drama for another day
Heyyy we're gonna have a good day

At times the woman deep inside me wanders far from home
And in my mind I live a life, that chills me to the bone
A heart, running for arms out of reach
But who is the stranger my longing seeks?
I don't know
But it scares me through and through
'Cause I've a man at home, who needs me to be true
Oh faithless heart, be far away from me
Playing games inside my head, that nobody else can see
Faithless heart, you tempt me to the core
But you can't have a hold on me
So don't come around anymore
-Faithless Heart, Amy Grant

The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing

Oh! I got plenty of time
Oh! You got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear
Take the wheel and steer

It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I am beginning to find
That I should be the one behind the wheel

Today? This one has been speaking to me:

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see,
I'll be the light to guide you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one two three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

-Bruno Mars, Count on Me
