My favorite line from a song is "You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes" - Miss Ameracauna and the Heartbreak Prince by Taylor Swift. She has a lot of clever, funny lines in her music, especially her Lover album. I like this line because of its truth, sass, and the way she sing-songs it in the song makes it 10x better.

My favorite lyrics is carry on my wayward son by kanas

And it goes like ::

Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

"I'll Still bless...in the middle of the storm, when I don't know where to go o... I'll still bless you..." Promises is a wonderful song that sings of God's mercies and promises.

"It’s so nice to meet you, let's never meet again" I thought it was funny at first but after a second thought also kinda relatable. It’s from a song called "We don’t have to dance". I really love it.

Amongst many other lines from many other songs, Tupac's stands out. "there's no way I can pay you back, but my plan is to show you that I understand." Dear Mama by Tupac.

another

"...we can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing, when it's said and done we haven't told you a thing, we all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry..." Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry"

So many more - those just came to mind!

Its from a song which is stuck in my mind since so long + right now I relate with it very much -
"I grew up loving the stars
Though they taught me to hate the night
Back of my mind, loving the dark
Always wanting to touch the moon."

- Astroboy by Suggi.

It's from the song I am currently obsessed with-
" Life can be so amazing if we stop all the chasing
Good times are always waiting,
So take a look around and you'll never see them wasted."
