Francis Dunnery – Good Life Lyrics 19 years ago
one of my favourite songs. reminds me of my ex. we split up and decided it was for the best. then we started to get closer again, but i didn't want to be back there, so i moved on and tried to think less about him.

now i wish we had worked at it. what we had was pretty great and, given another shot, we could make it again.

but basically i agree with the top comment. spot on.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – Your Guardian Angel Lyrics 19 years ago
i think this song means something different to everyone who hears it. whether its about breaking up, being together, religion or about your girlfriend, boyfriend, children, friends, siblings, whatever. it's just about doing anything and everything for the one or ones you love.

and i think its pretty amazing when a single song can mean so much.

this song means an awful lot to me. last year, i was at my boyfriends house and he played it for me. ever since i fell in love with it and i always saw that song as our song, no one elses.
he wasn't a great boyfriend, and he didn't treat me as well i he should have. he often said stuff that hurt and did stuff that hurt but i still hung on and i went through everything to hang on to him. at one point, i had a breakdown but i still got up and stood by him when everyone else said he was a prick.

"When I see your smile
Tears run down my face"

this reminds me of all the times he apologised and said he loved me. whether he meant it or not, i;ll never know. but i hope he did.

"Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us"

no matter what was happening around us and whatever trouble we got ourselves into, we held on because we knew how each other cared. sometimes, it was like the world was made just for us.

"Cuz you’re my, you’re my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don’t throw that away
Cuz I’m here for you
Please don’t walk away,
Please tell me you’ll stay, stay"

i can't count how many tearful conversations we had when things like this were said. whether i had screwed up or he had, we always expected this. its making me upset just thinking of it all.

"Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I’ll be ok
Though my skies are turning gray"

this just says everything i was for him. i was used and tested and insulted and ignored by him sometimes. but for some reason, i stuck through it.

of course the chorus is just a repetition of everything i've just said.

anyway, we broke up in the end.

and a few weeks ago, i had a party and he was there. and i got my guitar and sat down and played this song and he sat with me and sang it,

and just singing that song with him said to me it was all worth it.

he's still a dick. and he's still a prick. and he's still the person who hurts me the most.

but stupidly, i still love him. and part of me thinks [and hopes] he feels that way too.

anyway, thats my personal story. i've been fascinated reading everyone elses. its amazing how this song fits into so many peoples lives.

Joshua Radin – Paperweight (with Schuyler Fisk) Lyrics 19 years ago
its just all about love really, isn't it? all about the one person being on your mind all the time. not even having to think about things because you have them and thats all thats ever mattered.
and if you ever find them, for gods sake don't screw it up. it doesn't feel good.
