Great Lyrics
An alternative rock band that I love to listen to is Brand New. They have beautiful lyrics and some great acoustic songs too. Their songs soothe me when I'm stressed. Other great lyricists are Dashboard Confessional and Frou Frou. Hope you guys enjoy them too :)

Hi Meganne
I'm a time traveler coming to you from four years in the future to share some lyrics from one of the (imo) greats lyricists of all time. Started out as a poet in fact, so that probably helped when he (or it was) decided to become a musician.
I first heard this song when a busker was playing it on a causeway by a dock on the ocean, and at the time i didn't realize it was a Leonard Cohen song. I assumed that it was the guy's own song, and it hit me in a meaningful way, at a mentally and emotionally turbulent time in my life. I took it as a sign from God I think almost, and was grateful to this street musician and humbled by it somehow. I basically only caught the chorus and a bit else however because we were just walking by.
I loved you for a long, long time
I know this love is real
It don't matter how it all went wrong
That don't change the way I feel
And I can't believe that time's
Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure for love
I'm aching for you baby
I can't pretend I'm not
I need to see you naked
In your body and your thought
I've got you like a habit
And I'll never get enough
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure for love
There ain't no cure for love
There ain't no cure for love
All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky
The holy books are open wide
The doctors working day and night
But they'll never ever find that cure for love
There ain't no drink no drug
(Ah tell them, angels)
There's nothing pure enough to be a cure for love
I see you in the subway and I see you on the bus
I see you lying down with me, I see you waking up
I see your hand, I see your hair
Your bracelets and your brush
And I call to you, I call to you
But I don't call soft enough
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure for love
I walked into this empty church I had no place else to go
When the sweetest voice I ever heard, whispered to my soul
I don't need to be forgiven for loving you so much
It's written in the scriptures
It's written there in blood
I even heard the angels declare it from above
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure for love
There ain't no cure for love
There ain't no cure for love
All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky
The holy books are open wide
The doctors working day and night
But they'll never ever find that cure,
That cure for love

Here are my favourite lyrics from my top 3 lyrical songs.
1. Immortal - The Cruxshadows
I do not know the mind of God and I cannot guess his thoughts
But I have searched for you across the void when my sense of self was lost
The answer stands to brush my grasp in the darkness and the pain
And I saw myself for all I am, the decisions I have made
With hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
Na, na na na na, na
Na, na na na na
And when my ashes scatter here with my memories to the wind
What endures beyond the silent edge is the essence found within
Have we forgotten truly who we are and what our living means
Our purpose lies in others eyes and the realities that we bring
With hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
All that I am
And all that I dream
Lives somewhere beyond
Your image of me
And who I become
And what I will be
Is not yours to decide
It comes only from me
One, two, ready, go
Na, na na na na, na
Na, na na na na
With hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
With hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
Our hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
2. Ground - Assemblage 23
Be still
Though chaos rains around you now
Only so much rain can fall at once
Breathe in
And let the air envelop you
And slow but sure, serenity will come
Close your eyes
Try to breathe
Feel the ground beneath your feet
It's still there
And the world still turns around
Stand up
Though circumstance has knocked you down
There is nothing gained by staying within its reach
Take strength
In every failure you endure
Our mistakes have many lessons they can teach
Close your eyes
Try to breathe
Feel the ground beneath your feet
It's still there
And the world still turns around
Destroy
These walls you've built around yourself
You can't take another step until they're gone
Move out
No use in dwelling in the past
Bid farewell to all your fears and carry on
Close your eyes
Try to breathe
Feel the ground beneath your feet
It's still there
And the world still turns around
Close your eyes
Try to breathe
Feel the ground beneath your feet
It's still there
And the world still turns around
3. Inside of You, In Spite Of You - Thoushaltnot
I am in the air now
I am in your lungs
I am written
I am spoken by a million flaming tongues
I'm the lens through which you see
I'm the process
I am the key
I am synapses firing bullets from a gun
I'm the world's mystique
I am the words you speak
I am language
I am hidden memories that you seek
I am the sun before you see me rise
I burn still when you close your eyes
I am the soul that never dies when flesh is weak
I am inside of you in spite of you
With strength and sacred grace
But for all you do
I'll carry you now
From this bitter place
I am in your future
I am in your past
I'm the echo of your footsteps
I'm your shadow cast
I'm the heat you radiate
I am the fury and the fate
I am each beat within your heart from first to last
I'm your action without thought
I am the instinct born inside you
I'm the bones from which you drape
I am protective skin to hide you
I'm the pull that the earth exerts
I am the rain that stings and the snow that blinds
I'm the architecture of your world and mind
I am the dawn of ages
I am the days seen through
I'm final entropy
I am inside of you
I am the clouds that cover
Your way into the blue
I kiss with life to give
All this in spite of you
