Lyrics are really hitting hard these days. Take these for example:

That’s why the best thing
I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growin up to do
- Joshua Radin

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
- A Fine Frenzy


So glide away on soapy heels
And promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again
Then I will take the chain from off the door
- Ingrid Michaelson


Cuz I am giving up on making passes
And I am giving up on half empty glasses
And I am giving up on greener grasses
I am giving up
- Ingrid Michaelson


Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier's last breath, his baby's being born
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody's broken heart become your favorite song
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out

Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing underneath
It must have been much harder when there was no bridge, just water
Now the world is small, compared to how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars

- DMB


you know that i could use somebody
someone like you
and all you know
and how you speak
- Kings of Leon


Crap, I’m such a sap.

Now I’m going home to spend my Friday night cleaning and reading. Maybe turn up the tunes and see if I can find some new lyrics that don't don't pack quite a punch. Not sure where that falls on the “cool” scale, but it can’t be that high. Thumbs...up.
