song lyrics that i rly like <3 (edited over time)

'apple pie' - the scary jokes

"every day's an apple pie

when i'm with you i'm not so shy

and i almost feel alive in your arms

help me forget what i'm going through

and i'll give everything to you

am i losing my mind, or am i winning your heart?" 

'frog' - cavetown

"i'm on the edge of a sunset

the soft of your brow

rolling around like a piglet

laid down like a cow

i'm your frog"

'vanilla curls' - teddy hyde

"i'm tied up in her shy and fair-haired fairy prison

i thought that i was high but i had barely risen

equipped with private eyes, 

her stare declared me missing

tried to talk myself out of it, 

but i never listen"

'fuzzybrain' - dayglow

"there's rain inside my skeleton frame

a hurricane within my ribcage

i never left, but i never stayed

i'm cleaning out the fuzz in my brain

time and time again"

'lonely eyes' - the front bottoms

"i try to tell you jokes

i'm afraid you'd cry

and if you need a little sunshine, you can borrow some of mine

"it's okay if youre unhappy"

i would say before i leave her

"just take a look around, 

there's no one here who's happy either"

lonely girl

you are my world

and i could be anything you need

and if for some reason you don't feel like talking

i could just sit

and enjoy your company."

'mrs potato head' - melanie martinez

"oh, mrs potato head tell me

is it true that pain is beauty?

does a new face come with a warranty? 

will a pretty face make it better?

do you swear you'll stay forever

even if her face don't stay together?" 

'sunsetz' - cigarettes after sex

"sunsets, i wanna hear your voice

a love that nobody could destroy

took photographs like brautigan's book covers 

that we both adored

and when you go away, i still see you

the sunlight on your face in my rearview

this always happens to me this way

recurring visions of such sweet days"

[ literally the entirety of 'since i saw vienna' by wilbur soot; such a lyrically and musically gorgeous song ]

'your sister was right' - wilbur soot

"every time that i miss you

i feel the way you hurt

and i don't deserve you

you deserve the world

though it feels like we were built

from the same dirt"

[ again, literally the entirety of 'rule #9: child of the stars' by fish in a birdcage. SUCH a GORGEOUS and masterfully written song, lyrically and musically. god i love those lyrics more than almost anything. ]

'arabella' - arctic monkeys

"but she's a modern lover

it's an exploration, 

she's made of outer space

and her lips are like the galaxy's edge

and her kiss the color of a constellation falling into place"

'venus' - sleeping at last

"at first i thought you were a constellation

i made a map of your stars, then i had a revelation

you're as beautiful as endless

you're the universe i'm helpless in

an astronomer at my best

when i throw away the measurements

like a telescope

i will pull you so close

til no space lies in between

and suddenly i see you

i was a billion little pieces

til you pulled me into focus

astronomy in reverse

it was me who was discovered"

'if nobody likes u' - addison grace

"take it off, oxygen

cut your hair, grow it out again

this isn't love, you can tell

it's the same look you give yourself

five feet tall, head in space

turn fifteen, change your name

the world will end a couple times

but you'll be okay

you'll be all right

you will be fine, 'cause you've always been fine

if nobody likes you, i still do"

'i love you like an alcoholic' - the taxpayers

"one last kiss

i love you like a pack of dogs

one last kiss

i need you like i need a gaping head wound"

'destroyed by hippie powers' - car seat headrest

"what happened to that chubby little kid?

who smiled too much and loved the beach boys

what happened is i killed that fucker

and i took his name

and i got new glasses"

'famous prophets (stars)' - car seat headrest

"apologies to future mes and yous

but i can't help feeling like we're through

the ripping of the tape hurts my ears

in my years

i have never seen anyone quit quite like you do

twin bruises on my shins

from where i kicked the back of the seat in

they meant what i went through for you

but now they're fading, 

now they're gone

(don't spend too much time on it)

these teenage hands

will never touch yours again"
