I'm sure we all know at least one or more of our favorite songs by heart. But have we really taken the time to listen to the lyrics we sing? I mean, sure, there are some totally ridiculous lyrics out there (Blurred Lines, anyone?) but there are also some lyrics that are masterpieces in themselves. Next time you hear these songs, pay attention to the words. Because these words can tell some amazing stories.

So you brought out the best of me, a part of me I've never seen. You took my soul and wiped it clean, our love was made for movie screens. " -All I Want by Kodaline
9. "Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my soul." -I'm On Fire by Bruce Springsteen
10. "Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door. Weary head hung down, eyes to the floor. He says 'Love, I'm sorry', and she says, 'What for? I'm yours and that's it, Whatever.' 'I should not have been gone for so long. I'm yours and that's it, forever'." -The Ballad of Love and Hate by the Avett Brothers

18. "No, you can't always get what you want. You can't always get what you want, you can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you find, you get what you need." -You Can't Always Get What You Want by The Rolling Stones
19. "Give a little time to me or burn this out, we'll play hide and seek to turn this around. All I want is the taste that your lips allow, my, my, my, my, oh give me love." -Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran

21. "She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got. It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not. We've got each other and that's a lot, for love, we'll give it a shot.
