    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I gather speed from you fucking with with me
    once and for all I'm far away
    I hardly believe finally the shades are raised

    She said to me, over the phone
    She wanted to see other people
    I thought, well then
    Look around, they’re everywhere
    Weary is the mind of one stuck in repetition

    And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go...
    It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...
    Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...
    We were but stones,... your light made us stars

    Too many good ones to say "all time" fave, but love these:

    1. Circumstance, clapping hands
    Driving winds, happenstance
    Off the track, in the mud
    Past the moss in the aforementioned verse

    2. Just be a darling and I will be too
    Faithful to you

    3. I was the fool because I thought
    I thought the world
    Turns out the world thought me

    the one I have been digging lately, it rings so prophetic, simple and amazing simultaneously

    Gotta say it now, better loud than too late

    Can't it be, can't it be mine?

    This one is the all timer for me as well ^^

    On a more up beat side I'd go with:

    I am fuel, you are friends
    We got the means to make amends
    I'm lost, I'm no guide
    But I'm by your side
    Right by your side

    And because everyone loves Backspacer so much...

    See the waves on distant shores
    Awaiting your arrival
    Dream the dreams of other men
    You'll be no one's rival
    Dream the dreams of others then
    You will be no one's rival

    I think the whole last verse of that song might be my favorite lyrics from the band.

    Only lyrics I've considered getting tattooed:

    "I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in-between is mine."

    Such simple and unambiguous prose. But so meaningful (at least to me) in letting us know that we all only live once and we're all captain of our own ships (so to speak).

    +1 on the lyric choice and the consideration as an tattoo
    I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine.

    So many to choose from ... here is my choice today.

    First he was stripped, then he was stabbed ... by faceless men, well fuckers ... he still stands ... and still gives his love, he just gives it away and the love he receives is the love that is saved.

    Great thread, by the way.

    probably the only lyrics I don't like it's like your going to miss out on the future for living a life of sin...that's how the lyrics speak to me...

    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
    I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky,
    But why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?

    and
    i sometimes realize i could only be as good as you'll let me
    are you woman enough to be my man?
    bandaged hand in hand

    tied i love them both equal

    too hard to pick. of course the LBC and Black ones already mentioned are two of my favs. here are a few more.

    "ill keep taking punches until there will grows tired"

    "now the man of the hour is taking his final bow, as the curtain comes down i feel that this is just goodbye for now..."

    "pay disasters no mind, didn't get you this time, no prints left at the crime"

    "if nothing is everything, I would have it all":

    "all the advantage this life's got on me, picture a cup in the middle of the sea"

    "and now I rub my eye's, for he has returned

    seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned

    for he still smiles; and he's still strong

    Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit; that has gown"
    until next time......
