I filed through my endless playlists to compile these all for you, and I enjoyed the process. Many of these were recommended to me by friends, and that makes them all the more special to me! I'll update this post as I find more favorites.
1. The Moon by The Microphones ☆
We found a precious place in the sand / Right out in the wind, and we lied under a blanket / And heard the furious sound / The roar of waves / The pounding surf / Two bodies on the earth / It was intense just getting to be there next to you / And you were trying to get me then / And I was happy to let you in
2. Between the Bars by Elliott Smith
Drink up, baby / Look at the stars / I'll kiss you again / Between the bars / Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air / Waiting to finally be caught
3. The Biggest Lie by Elliott Smith
I'm waiting for the train / The subway that only goes one way / The stupid thing that'll come to pull us apart / And make everybody late
4. Yellow by Coldplay*
Look at the stars / Look how they shine for you / And everything you do
5. Phoenix by Slaughter Beach, Dog ☆
Those nights your house kept secrets / We'd stumble up the stairs / My hands tore through your records / While your hands unpinned your hair / The both of us still green enough / To remove the other's clothes / A quiet signal of devotion / That I am happy to have known
6. Map of the Stars by Slaughter Beach, Dog ☆
Begging for brains in your prayers / Falling asleep on the stairs / Waking up angry and scared / Coughing up sand everywhere
7. Intersection by Slaughter Beach, Dog ☆
Pretending in unending joy / To hate to be alone / To adore the great unknown / When all I know is you / And all you are is home / The words don't sound the same / When we speak over the phone
8. New Friends by Pinegrove
What's the worst that could happen / End of summer and I'm still in love with her / I said / Forget it
9. Cosmonauts by Fiona Apple
I only like the way I look / When looking through your eyes / And when you come back / You command me like the penetration of the sun / Into the deep dark sky
10. Catalina Fight Song by Joyce Manor
There's no way / To keep in touch with certain people / Wonder how long something can last / Pretty sure most people don't think about that / But who the fuck's laughing now?
11. Why I Like The Robins by Hum ☆
And I like your raindrop collector / Splash in my eyes and makes everything else look like you / So hand me the glasses and teach me to use them / Show me the window, I wanna look too ☆
12. The Very Old Man by Hum ☆
Another drink, my love, and make it tall enough / So I can stand on it and see / All you've done for me / A world of curves and lines electric / Remember how you strung the colored lights / From Christmas tree to me
13. Cortez the Killer by Neil Young (specifically the Live Chicago 1989 version by Slint) ☆
And I know she's living there / And she loves me to this day / I still can't remember when / Or how I lost my way
14. Mr. Jones by Counting Crows
I wanna be a lion / Yeah, everybody wants to pass as cats / We all wanna be big, big stars / But we've got different reasons for that / Believe in me / 'Cause I don't believe in anything / And I wanna be someone / To believe
15. You Can't Live There Forever by The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die
I have two favorite lyrics for this one...
There's tiny worlds inside your mind / Your fingers are a distant sky / You shove into your mouth / To block the whole sun out
Formless shapes in the darkness / We are as harmless as the thoughts in our heads / Drinking poison, chewing on concrete / Burning holes in the sheets of our beds
16. Bros by Wolf Alice ☆
Are your lights on? / Are your lights still on? / I'll keep you safe / You'll keep me strong
17. Haley by Big Thief
Just like that, he is holding my hand / Redirect, rearrange, bringing the moon to land / Oh / And oh, and it gets you down / When you get that notion / Anyway, you walk around / Anywhere that you are going / If you ever wanna come back / You know my arms are always open
18. Whale & Wasp by Alice In Chains
This song has no lyrics but it is beautiful!
19. Like a Fool by Superchunk
I still have briars in my clothes / Did I lay you down in those? / The names on the stones were all erased / And I thought it was you that I had chased
20. Schizophrenia by Sonic Youth
My future is static / It's already had it / I could tuck you in / And we could talk about it / I had a dream / And it split the scene / But I got a hunch / It's coming back to me
21. You Here With Me by David Schwartz*
From Arrested Development!
Sunshine in my fingers / We're living in your world now this time / This time I'm gonna be there / You here with me
☆Extra favorite/painful
*I don't care what anyone says!!! I LOVE THIS SONG TO PIECES!!!
