"As life replayed, we heard a voice proclaim
"'Lay your weapons down!
"'They're calling off the war
"'On account of losing track
"'Of what we're fighting for'

"So we made our way back home
"Let our cuts and bruises heal
"While a brand new war began
"One that no one else could feel"

--Sleeping At Last


This entire song, "Mars," is pure genius.
"But you've stolen my air catcher
"And I don't know if I want it back"

--Twenty One Pilots


Yeah man
"It is the beauty of our flaws that will define us
"So don't hold on to all the things you never had
"Just remember we're the good, the bad, the lovely
"It is the sanity of life that makes us mad"

--Gabrielle Aplin


Amen.
"I thought I heard the captain's voice
"But it's hard to listen while you preach"

--U2


I don't really know why I like these lyrics so much, but I do.
"There are certain people
"You just keep coming back to
"She is right in front of you"

--The Fray


These words get me every time.
"We are the reckless, we are the wild youth
"Chasing visions of our futures
"One day we'll reveal the truth
"That one will die before he gets there"

--Daughter


These lyrics are painfully pessimistic, and I do not agree with them at all.  However, they're still really powerful and do a phenomenal (big word) job of getting her point across.
"I wish I could cross my arms
"And cross your mind"

--Owl City


Who knew the first words I'd post would be from Adam Young? :P  Seriously though, I'm in love with these lyrics.
