music & lyrics.

as i said in my first blog, anyone who knows me knows i love music. spend any amount of time with me and i'll end up playing a song. i can't get in my car and drive anywhere without a cd, plugging in my ipod, or flipping through radio stations to find "the song." needless to say, the flipping through radio stations and skipping songs midway through is one of my mothers biggest pet peeves. if she's in the car with me, she always asks why i can't just leave the radio on one station or let a cd play all the way through. sorry, mom! music goes with my moods..happy, sad, hopeful, thankful, etc. my all time favorite type of music is country but i also like a bunch of other stuff. i give kelly clarkson credit for introducing me to some amazing artists (graham colton, parachute, jill&kate, brandi carlile, and patty griffin to name a few!)

with all that being said, this post is just a mishmash of some of my favorite song lyrics. :)

"all of these lines across my face tell you the story of who i am. so many stories of where i've been and how i got to where i am."- brandi carlile : the story

"in my heart, in my soul...Lord, I give You control. consume me from the inside out, Lord. let justice and praise become my embrace. to love You from the inside out. everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades. neverending, Your glory goes beyond all fame. and the cry of my heart is to bring You praise. from the inside out, Lord, my soul cries out." - hillsong : inside out

"she was jumping right into the deep end on a leap of sweet blind faith. it's about hoping. it's about dreaming. it's about never not believing. it's about taking a walk out on the wire and never looking down. it's about living instead of dying. it's about spreading your wings and flying. it's all about tryin'." - little big town : tryin'

"i don't know where you are but i know where you've been. you're just a small town girl; you didn't care about nothing. i don't know where to start but i hope that it ends up with you being happy wherever you are, forever. i'm not asking for forever and i don't need much of your time. it's alright for you to be scared. i'll drive all night; i'll go anywhere. if someday our stars don't align, we'll go our own ways. but you should know i'm always on your side." - graham colton : on your side

"and i don't know, this could break my heart or save me. nothing's real until you let go completely. so here i go with all my thoughts i've been saving. so here i go with all my fears weighing on me. three months and i'm still sober. picked all my weeds but kept the flowers. but i know, it's never really over. and i don't know, i could crash and burn but maybe. at the end of this road i might catch a glimpse of me. so i won't worry 'bout my timing, i wanna get it right. no comparing, second guessing, no, not this time." - kelly clarkson : sober

"what am i supposed to do when the best part of me was always you? and what am i supposed to say when i'm all choked up and you're okay." - the script : breakeven

"but if you break down, i'll drive out and find you. if you forget my love, i'll try to remind you. i'll stay by you when it don't come easy." - patty griffin : when it don't come easy

"if there's a move, i'm afraid to make it. if there's a claim, i'm afraid to stake it. and i don't have all the answers yet but i'm sure afraid to fake it. so let me down easy, let me down slow. everybody's gotta hit the bottom. oh, everybody's gotta find their own way to go." - jill and kate : finding my own way

and i suppose that's all for tonight. :) more lyrics & quotes at another time!
