    at the moment, I think it's a tie between "how I choose to feel is how I am" and "I'll keep takin' punches, until their will grows tired"

    "The waiting drove me mad, you're finally here and I'm a mess"

    The second "date" i had with my then girlfriend now wife, she was about 4 hours later I was expecting. We were meeting at a bar, and I was thinking she was a no-show.

    By the time she got there, I was a mess..... Loaded Drunk

  • "I wanna race with the sundown"
    I have pondered... would I be racing towards the setting sun being in a shadow trying reach the light 2 feet infront of my front tire - or racing with the light on me and the darking being 2 feet behind my back tire??????

    I had a false belief: I thought I came here to stay. We're all just visiting, All just breaking like waves.
    The oceans made me, but who came up with love?

    absolutely incredible.

  • I see Johnny Guitar in here! LOVE the lyrics for that one! "Further north a warmth alive & lingering". Like Ed needs to be any sexier by writing lyrics like that. :oops:

    Anyway, I know this is in here already, but I have it tattooed on my back with a ocean scene. "I'll ride the wave where it takes me".

    "I am mine" is also powerful to me and I also have that in a tattoo.

    Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
    Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.

    A reminder that apathy is acceptance and endorcement of the status quo.

    "I gather speed from you fu*!ing with me."

    It's not the most poetic line in the catalogue, but it's my motto, the line that gets me out of bed in the morning.

    I have a child with complex special needs, and those needs have been poorly understood by virtually everyone we have encountered. I have been given very poor, unsolicited advice, I have lost friends, my sanity has been questioned, my child has been mistreated because his issues were misunderstood. It took a lot of effort to ignore the naysayers and meddlers and to get my son the help he needed, and there were many days when I needed an extra boost to keep me going. RVM gives me that boost, especially this line.

    Runner-up: "Take my hand, not my picture," for the same reason. Quit staring, and try to help!
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
  • many of us love the line

    "the waiting drove me mad - you're finally here and I'm a mess"

    some of you are relating to it as if ed's saying he's a mess from the waiting. ed is actually saying he's a mess because "you" are here (fame), not because of the waiting. just wanted to point that out.

  • "Are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?"

    Because I'm always trying to get something out of this whole wild ride called life. Really the entire song is brilliant but this is an important question. It's a good question to ask yourself from time to time. Reminds me to look around and take notice of the small things in life. The small things are the things that can really make us happy after all.

    Honorable mention:

    " I’m a lucky man to count on both hands
    The ones I love,.."
