Excellent Lyrics

Lately I have been listening closely to song lyrics, even though I can't remember them to save my life, I still think that it can really make a mediocre song amazing. Some notable songs include:

Thao, Chivalry:
" i am through
when i love i will love so hard
harder than i could love with you"

Beirut, Scenic World:
"when i feel alive
i try to immagine [sic] a careless life
a scenic world where the sunsets are all
breathtaking"

Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, Buriedfed:
"Goddamn I'm tired of being black, go save somebody else instead"

Sparkle Horse, Don't Take My Sunshine Away:
" Your face is like the sun sinking into the ocean
Your face is like watching flowers growing in fast motion"

Sarah McLachlin, Ice Cream:
"Your love is better than ice cream...
Your love is better than chocolate"

Sunset Rubdown, Shut Up I Am Dreaming Of Places Where Lovers Have Wings:
" He wants to send you drawings
Drawings of men with faithful hands
They will make such good boyfriends
He wants to tell you stories
Stories of boys who stomped their feet saying,
“Shut – shut up I am dreaming of places
Where lovers have wings...
I will say your name, before I sink.
Oceans never listen to us anyway."
Actually...every word in this song is great.

Post other suggestions in the comments...

Just to let you know in the Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson song Buriedfed he says Goddamn I'm tired of being polite, not black. I thought he was saying black as well until someone showed me the lyrics.

I think it sounds better as black though.
