I feel like I should compile this list, and i dont know where else to do it:
Most influential and moving song lyrics that I have come across in the recent past...as I think of them in no particular order, and not necessarily synonymous with the quality of the song and/or artist(i guess just lyrics that have meant something to me):
"We’re just a million little god’s causin rain storms turnin’ every good thing to rust.I guess we'll just have to adjust."-arcade fire
"its a bittersweet symphony this life" -the verve
"louder than sirens louder than bells sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell"-flo and the machine
"all the roads we have to walk are winding and all the lights that lead us there are blinding"-oasis
"lover, you should have come over."-jeff buckley
"this is how it works youre young until youre not, you love until you dont, you try until you cant, you laugh until you cry, you cry until you laugh and everyone must breathe until theyre dyin breath"-regina
"I cant take my eyes of you, I cant take my mind off you"-damien rice
"I'm never gonna know you now but im gonna love you anyhow"-elliot smith
"we were sixteen maybe less, maybe a little more"-iron and wine
"you plant a rose and if the rose comes up youre thankful to god and if it doesnt you cuss em'...But, oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing...Hear all them bells ringing out in the street, Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe"-ryan adams
"It's you heart, its in your art your beauty, even in this world of lies theres purity you got innocence in you eyes, even in this world of lies youre still hopeful very sexy very sexy"-jb but better as mph
"oh my my, oh hell yes, honey put on that party dress"-tp
"Gravity is working against me,And gravity wants to bring me down...Oh twice as much aint twice as good,And can't sustain like a one half could, It's wanting more, That's gonna send me to my knees"-jm
"come pick me up take me out fuck me up and steal my records, screw all my friends behind my back, with a smile on your face and then do it again"-ryan adams
"if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied, illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs, if theres no one beside you when your soul embarks, then i will follow you into the dark"-death cab for cutie
The entirety of "fake plastic trees" by radiohead, most notably " i cant help but feelin' i could blow through the ceilin'"...and most of that album...all of that album.
what lyrics have stuck with you guys?

"i know exactly what i want and who i want to be
i know exactly why i walk and talk like a machine." - oh no, marina and the diamonds
basically every song by florence and the machine.
"i was never, no i was never, no i was never enough
but i can try, i can try to toughen up
i listened when they told me if he burns you let him go
change is hard, i should know." - change is hard, she&him
