SOME MORE QUOTES FROM MY FAVORITE BOOKS
I’m the type of reader who never highlight passages or memorize quotes. I would go so far as to say, I never really care too much about them. But sometimes, there are words that capture a moment or emotion so perfectly even my forgetful brain couldn’t help but remember the lines and relive all the feels.
Here are more unforgettable quotes from my favorite books.
-

I’ve been on hiding down
I’ll tell you everything I can
There’s a healer inside of me
It’s too deep for you to see
And I can tell you one more time
For my head is on the line
Before I could go awayOh I’ve been a stranger
Sleeping with you in my bed
I wish I could save you
From the thoughts up in my headWe all come from broken arms
But still I keep you close
I’m an empty hollow shell
On a one way trip to hell
And all these thoughts inside my head
Are fears of loneliness from years I can’t reliveOh I’ve been a stranger
Sleeping with you in my bed
I wish I could save you
From the thoughts up in my head -
All of the dreams that haven’t come true
And all of the hurt that happened to you
It matters, I hope you know it mattersYou felt the pain of a bitter defeat
Where the weight of the grief is more bitter than sweet
It matters, I’m telling you it mattersTo the one who spoke and set the sun ablaze
To the one who stopped the storm and walked the waves
To the one who took the tree so He could say
You matter, I hope you know you matterI know it’s not easy, not saying it’s fair
But close as a prayer somebody cares
You’re a treasure, I hope you know you’re treasuredSo hold your head high, wait for the dawn
Keep hanging on, your sadness will turn into laughter
Watch it turn into laughter, yeahYou matter, heaven knows you matter
Let the water spill from your eyes
Let it wash the wounds of those lies
Oh, let the water spill from your eyes
All that you are, all that you’ll be
Someone put the beat in your heart so that you’ll see
You matterYou matter, heaven knows you matter
You matter, I hope you know you matter
You matter, heaven knows you matter -

Why’s everyone always talking?
Noise in my head
But it’s nonsense
I can’t feel loveGuarded
Don’t overthink how we started
Knew from the second you walked in
This could be somethingEverybody’s looking for love to start a riot
But every time I look in your eyes
The world gets quietSo let it go
Let it fall
Let it fly
We’ll keep on trying
‘Cause I knew I was in love with you
When we sat in silenceDreaming
I’m wide awake while I’m dreaming
Seeing in your eyes what you’re thinking
So please don’t worryWaiting
Know that I’ll always be waiting
Do you believe what I’m saying?
I’m in no hurryEverybody’s looking for love to start a riot
But every time I look in your eyes
The world gets quietSo let it go
Let it fall
Let it fly
We’ll keep on trying
‘Cause I knew I was in love with you
When we sat in silenceSat in silence
Sat in silence
Sat in silence
When we sat in silenceSat in silence
Sat in silence
Sat in silence
When we sat in silence‘Cause I knew I was in love with you
When we sat in silence -

Backwards into flight
Use both hands, go on and push me
Falling faster in a tide
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)I know all of you by heart now
Each breath, even in the dark
Can I keep what we have made here?
Secrets, and all of ’em are stayin’
(Oh-oh-oh)It would be an honor to have my heart broken by you
It would be an honor to have my heart broken by you
Would be an honor to have my heart broken by you
It would be an honor to have my heart broken by youOh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
There’s no shame, use me again now
Take my pride, if just tonight
Brick by brick, sealing of fate now
Walls are raised higher than the sky
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)It would be an honor to have my heart broken by you
It would be an honor to have my heart broken by you
Would be an honor to have my heart broken by you
It would be an honor to have my heart broken by youAnd I will meet you, I will meet you
I will meet you at the bottom
And I will need you, I will need you
Need you at the bottom

I will meet you at the bottom
And I will need you, I will need youIt would be an honor to have my heart broken by you
It would be an honor to have my heart broken by you
Would be an honor to have my heart broken by you
It would be an honor to have my heart broken by you
Broken by you -
You cannot quit me so quickly
There’s no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, loveThe Space Between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the painBut will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like ‘Will it rain today?’
Waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we’re playingWe’re strange allies
With warring hearts
What wild-eyed beast you be
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the painWill I hold you again?
Will I hold…Look at us spinning out in
The madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like a devil
In a church in the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don’t take this ship downThe Space Between
Where you’re smiling high
Is where you’ll find me if I get to go
The Space Between
The bullets in our firefight
Is where I’ll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls
Splash in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into…
The Space Between
Our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from painTake my hand
‘Cause we’re walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need hereThe Space Between
What’s wrong and right
Is where you’ll find me hiding, waiting for you
The Space Between
Your heart and mine
Is the space we’ll fill with time
The Space Between… -
Keeping on the outside
Glimmer in the moonlight
Only shadows there dwell we are
Creeping on the edge of the darkWe feel warmth in the cold corners
Eyes in the back of our heads
We roll out when the day’s over
Chasing silhouettesWhen it all goes up in flames
When it all goes up in flames
When it all goes up in flames
When it all goes up in flames
We’ll be the last ones standing
We’ll be the last ones
We’ll be the last ones standingCity made of thin glass
Smoldering in pitch black
Sin so thick you can’t see the stars
Can’t tell good and evil apartWe feel warmth in the cold corners
Eyes in the back of our heads
We roll out when the day’s over
Chasing silhouettesWhen it all goes up in flames
When it all goes up in flames
When it all goes up in flames
When it all goes up in flames
We’ll be the last ones standing
We’ll be the last ones
We’ll be the last ones standing -

strange moon on the horizon
then we’re crawling in its wake
looking over our shoulders
counting up our past mistakescasting nets in autumn weather
reeling in the silver fray(?)
slow dancing closer into december
suddenly a touch awakeshey what do they know?
hey what do they know?
hey what do they hear, hear, hear(?)glorious we are together
we could leave the rest alone
we could hear the call of every new morning
we wake up where we belong*not the official lyrics. this is my own transcription because I couldn’t find them anywhere
