i love a good Poetic song lyric but also so much respect when a song can pull off a barefaced earnest statement
i keep hearing songs with good Earnest Statements and then forgetting about them whenever i revisit this tweet so i really gotta start threading them properly
1. "take all the time you need" - oh honey
oh my darling, take all the time you need
there ain't no place i'd rather be
oh my darling, take all the time you need
there ain't no place i'd rather be
2. "eyes closed" - the narrative
now the rain is crashing down
and oh my god, you're beautiful
now the rain is crashing down
and oh my god, you're beautiful
3. "stolen" - dashboard confessional
aND WELL I MEAN--
(also slow version is best version)

4. “come home” - onerepublic ft. sara bareilles
and right now there’s a war between the vanities
but all i see is you and me
the fight for you is all i’ve ever known

5. "window" - now, now
"do you know i'm desperate for you" is the distinctly horny variety

6. "prettiest friend" - jason mraz
this song has been giving me grief since high school and it decided to come back on my radar today rip

7. "i have dreamed" - from the king and i
in these dreams i've loved you so
that by now i think i know
what it's like to be loved by you
i will love being loved by you
in these dreams i've loved you so
that by now i think i know
what it's like to be loved by you
i will love being loved by you
(most Designated Love Songs from movies/musicals tend not to do it for me but this has been stuck in my head for days since i reexcavated it and it's a deathening)
