Reminds me of:
"Caught a bolt of lighting...cursed the day he let it go"
If I've ever told you about the relationship between my mother and I you will understand why.
This is mine as well. Since it's taken...how about a new line...
"Dream the dreams of others then,... You will be no ones rival"
Reminds you to think of others....and how you can help.
"I'm gonna save you, fucker/not gonna lose you"
Genius. If you've ever watched someone else bottom out you'll get this line.
is that one line?
i repeat that in my mind all to often when looking to regain focus
I say this because a wave (life) is so powerful we can't really change the direction or the force. We can only get the best ride out of what we've got to work with. so i dig.
Just love it cause that's pretty much my philosophy in life. But in case this doesn't count since it's just EV ....
"The waiting drove me mad...your finally here and I'm a mess"
Cause I"m a wee bit impatient!! I can relate...

To me, that always reflected how I saw myself and the people around me; I watch my friends get married, divorced, buy houses, move back in with parents, etc- and to me I was still that same person I was at 18(quite some time ago!) :(
Granted- heavier, balder, what-have-you, but my beliefs, emotions, fears, and loves really hadn't changed...

"I'll hold the pain, release me"
After having a 3 story wall explode & collapse on top of me( flat lined 3x that night, ICU for 9 weeks). I was going to physical therapy 5 days a week for 4 years. Every & I mean every morning I played RELEASE 4-5x before being picked up for therapy. Screaming my lungs out trying to "release" the mental & physical pain I was going through. Thank you PJ for helping me ease the PAIN
On a happier note, my favorite line after marrying my wonderful wife who is a flight attendant ( I can now fly anywhere on the cheap
See it all. Oh, see the World!
What You Giving
I suggest you step out on your Porch.
Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!
I know you'll be a star, in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine"

"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised..."
The whole song is hugely significant to me, but those lines brought it all home..
"I will hold the candle 'till it burns up my arm!"
Because in the end, if you dont' hold to your beliefs, what do you have?
Even if it's followed by the bittersweet, "How much differnce does it make?"
A close second,
"Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?"
Love this one though:
"Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. Somehow."
Sums up life in one little sentence....
