Did you hear the distant cry
Calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once againI nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it’s taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Let’s try to sleep nowDrag me far enough to know
I’m blind every mile that you burn
There’s a rider that’s fallen and
It’s clear there’s no time to returnI nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it’s taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Well let’s try to sleep nowDid you hear the distant lie
Calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once againI nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it’s taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Well let’s try to sleep now
I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you
I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you there
Oh yeah, nearly lost you there -
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.

It’s not my imagination
It’s a no win situation
There’s no way to get away from
From my loveI’ve got you cornered with my devotion
I’ve got you captured by emotion
It’s impossible to go on
Without loveSurrender your heart to me
Surrender your heart to me
Surrender your heart why can’t you see
It’s the only way that it can be
Surrender your heart I don’t know why
But you never give in to meMy decision is a strong one
And I know that I can hold on
How much longer can you go on
Without love -
You are as perfect as all the seven days of creation, god must have loved it
Salt leaves and door screens, blood bed and night screams
I’ll be your safety, if you’ll be my safety
But soon I will try to fly out and leave you
But please don’t believe me, tie weights to my feetI don’t wanna tell you now
I don’t wanna tell you how I know
I don’t wanna break you down
I don’t know if I can take the load of our loveI’m too pop for the basement scene of sludge and drop jaw
But I can’t fit see, I’m faceless but I’m not your dream team
But I fit right in between your legs and your that will hold me, your arms will enfold meI don’t wanna tell you now
I don’t wanna tell you how I know
I don’t wanna break you down
I don’t know if I can take the load of our love -
I never understood before.
I never knew what love was for.
My heart was broke, my head was sore –
What a feeling.Tied up in ancient history,
I didn’t believe in destiny.
I look up, you’re standing next to me –
What a feeling.What a feeling in my soul –
Love burns brighter than sunshine,
Brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don’t care.
I’m yours, and suddenly you’re mine.
Suddenly, you’re mine;
And it’s brighter than sunshine.I never saw it happening.
I’d given up and given in.
I just couldn’t take the hurt again –
What a feeling.I didn’t have the strength to fight.
Suddenly, you seemed so right.
Me and you –
What a feeling.What a feeling in my soul –
Love burns brighter than sunshine.
It’s brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don’t care.
I’m yours, and suddenly you’re mine.
Suddenly, you’re mine.And it’s brighter than the sun.
It’s brighter than the sun.
It’s brighter than the sun, sunshine.Love will remain a mystery,
But give me your hand, and you will see.
Your heart is keeping time with me.What a feeling in my soul –
Love burns brighter than sunshine.
It’s brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don’t care.
I’m yours, and suddenly you’re mine.
Suddenly, you’re mine.I got a feeling in my soul.
Love burns brighter than sunshine,
Brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don’t care.
I’m yours, and suddenly you’re mine.
Suddenly, you’re mine.I got a feeling in my soul.
Love burns brighter than sunshine.
It’s brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don’t care.
I’m yours, and suddenly you’re mine.
Suddenly, you’re mine.
And it’s brighter than sunshine. -
Billy-Ray was a preacher’s son
And when his daddy would visit he’d come along
When they gathered round and started talkin’
That’s when Billy would take me walkin’
A-through the backyard we’d go walkin’
Then he’d look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surpriseThe only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh, yes he wasBeing good isn’t always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin’ to me
He’d come and tell me everything is all right
He’d kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
(Ooh…) Lord knows he was
Yes he wasHow well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin’ kisses from me on the sly
Takin’ time to make time
Tellin’ me that he’s all mine
Learnin’ from each other’s knowing
Lookin’ to see how much we’ve grownAnd the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh, yes he wasThe only one who could ever reach me
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
I kissed the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever move me
The sweet-lovin’ son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever groove me
Ahh, ooh, ahh…. -

Laying on my back wanna think of that magic hour
I meet you in the wildflowers, undercover
See it on my face ’cause your nectar tastes so sour
I greet you like a higher power, my summer loverGrow you from the roots, I rain on you, rain on you, rain on you
Take another sip of my perfume, taking two, taking two
Dreaming up the skies you wanna touch, don’t you rush, don’t you rush
‘Cause I’m the one reaching up, now, I’m the one reachingI come to wake you up
And pollinate your love
I’ll never leave you to be
Forgotten in the sun
I come to wake you up
And pollinate your love
I’ll never leave you to be
Forgotten in the sunDigging in your bed when you’re on the edge of something new
I just wanna watch you bloom in every color
Shining up the walls in the glow, it’s all you consume
Honey, let me garden you in every wonderDreaming up the skies we wanna touch, don’t you rush, don’t you rush
‘Cause you’re the one reaching up, now, you’re the one reachingI come to wake you up
And pollinate your love
I’ll never leave you to be
Forgotten in the sun
I come to wake you up
And pollinate your love
I’ll never leave you to be
Forgotten in the sunIf I’m gonna be your summer love, then
Promise me I’ll never be forgotten
Even when the skies begin to darken
You give me light
If I’m gonna be your summer love, then
Promise me I’ll never be forgotten
Even when the skies begin to darken
You give me light -

Well I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we’ve known
Will blow away with this new sunBut I’ll kneel down
Wait for now
And I’ll kneel down
Know my groundAnd I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for youSo break my step
And relent
You forgave and I won’t forget
Know what we’ve seen
And him with less
Now in some way
Shake the excess‘Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for youNow I’ll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So take my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind free from the liesAnd I’ll kneel down
Wait for now
I’ll kneel down
Know my ground, wooRaise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow‘Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
