Since music is so important to me, I wanted to share some of my favorite lyrics from some of my favorite songs. I’ve either related to these or they’ve inspired me at one point or another. I find lyrics to be probably what makes a song to me for a lot of the time, they take me from liking a song to loving it. If I identify with a lyric, I find comfort in it, and I’ll listen to it over and over again.
