It's a strange thing... but almost all their songs are about me. Sometimes I think they know about me more than I know about myself... "Writing To Reach You" is just a story of my life. "Every day I wake up and it's Sunday..."
"The Humpty Dumpty Love Song": "As I lie in pieces and wait for your return, the sun upon my forehead, it burns baby, burns"
"Re-Offender": "Fooling my selfish heart, going through the motions, but I'm fooling myself..."
"Driftwood": "You're driftwood floating underwater, breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces..."
And of course "WDIAROM": "I can't sleep tonight, everybody's saying everything is all right, still I can't close my eyes, I'm seeing the tunnel at the end of all these lights..." How many times I have felt this way!
And many other songs - "Turn", "Somewhere Else", "Closer", "Afterglow", "Myd-Life Krysis", "Three Times And You Lose"... They are about my feelings, my dreams, my fears, about my own life. That's why I love their music so much.

"We can't see what you'll be you can't disguise"~ My eyes
"Speak your mind
And learn your lines
Tell me things 'til I forget my name "
and
"Come out and fight
For love and life
Tell me things 'til I forget my name "
I Forget My Name.

It really depends on my mood, but some lyrics that inspire me are:

"Raising a smile makes it all worthwhile" - Afterglow

"Love will come through, it's just waiting for you" - Love Will Come Through


"We'll never know unless we grow, There's so much world outside the door" - Turn




i get inspired with these three as well Nikki=)

and not forgetting

This will turn into something else, something else
And when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Where else?-Somewhere Else

"I'm terrified of driving a car" - Just the Faces Change

In fact, most of that song, especially
"It's easier to stare at the sun, than look at all the things that you've done"
I just understand it.

Travis lyrics are ace. :)

You have a voice, don't lose it. You have a choice, so choose it. You have a brain, so use it. -Peace The F*** Out

And everybody wants a hand, but I'm too busy holding up the world, to carry on, no not anymore. -More Than Us

There is no reason to feel bad, but there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad, it's just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold, but I am here, to help you with the load. -Flowers In The Window

Great thread. ;)

This words are applied to my life right now:

"The fear,closer every year, so near..."
"One night can change everything in your life, one night, can make everything alright... one night, it's easier said than done"
"I know you disagree with me, but I love you anyways"
and finally: "Home and away, life goes on the same, we bury the pain and hold on the love, hear a song, sing along, but what does it change?, this life is so confusing seems like I'm always losing..."
yeah, I think that just says how I feel and use Travis words in my life now

Great thread, really!!

The most important line for me is definitely:

And you really didn't think it would happen...
Driftwood

These words cause that with me:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/2003-09-17_Goose_bumps.jpg/180px-2003-09-17_Goose_bumps.jpg

And there are so much more words that I love:

I look around for faces I know
I never ever want to go home
My friends are in bed
But I'm best on my own

Just The Faces Change (like TheBoyWithAName)

But how I can I talk
When I don't know if I'll ever
Learn my lesson
I'll ever see the light

The Score

But I can't stand up anymore
Without falling down

Falling Down

and a lot more from Side, Re-Offender, and, and, and....

These lines touch me in the same way:

And this'll turn into something else
Something else
But when it does I'll be somewhere else

By the time you hear this I'll be gone

Cuase I'm writing to reach you, but I might never reach you

From 'Big Chair'

'Don't you know it's hard -- quite -- in this time of confusion, to tell you that I ... Love ... You. You see, it could have been me instead of you, it could have been me if I wanted to -- but it wasn't. So we'll have to face the truth'.

Nobody is an island. Everyone had to go......"

«Dear diary...what is wrong with me? cos I'm fine between the lines...»

«The world's a small child in the dark»

«One night can tur all your colors to white»

«Pretty soon you will see the tears in my eyes»
