Upon becoming my friend on facebook, the first thing you'd notice is probably my love for song lyrics. I don't just sing along to them, I ponder them, I memorize them, I base my life on them. As silly as it sounds, I often relate my collection of song lyrics to the scriptures...you can find different meaning in the same verse at different times and you can better your life through them. I firmly believe this. These are the words that have popped into my mind more than the others. The ones that have actually caused me to change how I live my life. These are the most heavily marked and most frequently referrenced in my personal, musical scriptures, so to speak. It's interesting to see that most of these come from the bands I mentioned a couple of days ago. Feel free to look up the songs. In fact, it would mean a lot if you did. Here are the line, in order of their time of introduction into my life:

- “Light up, light up as if you have a choice. Even if you cannot hear my voice, I’ll be right beside you dear.” -Run by Snow Patrol
- “Open to everything happy and sad, seeing the good when it’s all going bad. Seeing the sun when I can’t really see, hoping the sun will at least look at me. Focus on everything better today. All that I needed, I never could say. Hold on people, they’re slipping away. Hold on to this while it’s slipping away.” -Slipping Away by Moby
- “When you feel embarrassed then I’ll be your pride. When you need directions then I’ll be the guide…for all time.” -Passenger Seat by Death Cab For Cutie

- “When you’re fighting to believe in a love that you can’t see, just know there is a purpose for those who wait.” -For Those Who Wait by Fireflight
- “Never felt this way in my whole life. Never had this feeling before tonight. I can’t get you off my mind cause you shine girl, oh you know you shine.” -Shine by The Morning Of
- “Don’t wanna get caught up dreaming of your love cause when I open my eyes, there’s not a shot in this life. I might as well give up and save all my good luck for when I’ve got the extra change. You can move aside cause now I’m wide awake.” -Wide Awake by Making April
- "Always move fast.” -Always Move Fast by Lydia
