It is common to be feeling a certain way and associate your feelings with a song. Song lyrics can spell out exactly what you are feeling without having to say a word. Or better yet, make you feel a certain way you didn’t even know you felt. I find it so fascinating to dissect the lyrics of a song and wonder why the artist pieced them together in such a way. Sometimes, the most unsuspecting songs could have the most beautiful lyrics. See below for a list of songs with lyrics that always seem to give me the feels.

Mercy- Dave Matthews Band

"Can't give up and hope God will intercede
Come on back, imagine that we could get it together

Stand up for what we need to be
'Cause crime won't save or feed a hungry child

Can't lay down and hope a miracle will change things"

Resolution- Matt Corby

"Turn around, put it down and see

That this is really the place to be.

I’m not you, nor you me

But we’re both moving steady"

Stone Cold- Demi Lovato

"You see me standing, but I’m dying on the floor

Stone cold, stone cold

Maybe if I don’t cry I won’t feel anymore"

Dog Days Are Over- Florence and the Machine

"Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back

Struck from a great height by someone

who should know better than that"

Alive- Sia

"I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it

Did all the things that you said that I wouldn’t

I told you that I would never be forgotten

And I’m still breathing, I’m still breathing

I’m alive (You took it all, but I’m still breathing)"

Vegabond- MisterWives

"If the sun goes down too soon

Embrace the starry eyed moon

Vegabond is you, swam the sea at the darkest blue

You made it, made it through"

Beautiful Day- U2

"It was a beautiful day

Don’t let it get away

Beautiful day

What you don’t have you don’t need it now

What you don’t know you can feel it somehow"

Surviving- Sondr, Joe Cleere

"You see the light,

Why does it blind you

When instead it should have filled your world with color

You got it wrong

We’re living life

We’re all surviving"

Fix You- Coldplay

"When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you nee
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse"

Landslide- Fleetwood Mac

"Well, I’ve been afraid of changing
‘Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older too"
