How F-ing Romantic

If she only knew how long I’ve waited for her
How her smile’s enough to make my winter warmer
And if she knew the way she walked
Could take away my storm
She’d probably call the cops and get a restraining order.
-Summer Song, Atmosphere

Buckets of rain, buckets of tears
Got all these buckets coming out of my ears
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
You got all the love
Honey baby I can stand
I’ve been meek
And hard like an oak
Seen pretty people disappear like smoke
Friends will arrive, friends will disappear
If you want me, honey baby I’ll be here.
-Buckets of Rain, Bob Dylan

And for the first time
I’m tell you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound
In my time
I’ll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You’re mine forever now
Who wouldn’t be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn’t be the one you love
-Stand inside your love, Smashing Pumpkins

All of the moments that already passed
We’ll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be
We never will be
And that’s wonderful, that’s life
That’s you baby
This is me baby
We are we are we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love
-Try, Nelly Furtado

I want to tell you something
That I should’ve long ago
I wish that you and I had those kids
Maybe bought us that home
I wish that we were still in your room
In your bed and you were holding me
Cause there ain’t no way I’ll ever stop from loving you now
There ain’t no way I’ll ever stop from loving you now
There ain’t no way and I’m gonna try and show you somehow
Someday, Someday.
-Somehow, Someday, Ryan Adams

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
-Purple Rain, Prince

Let me be patient
Let me be kind
Make me unselfish
Without being blind
Though I may suffer I’ll envy it not
And endure what comes
Cause he’s all that I got and tell him
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it’ll be alright
-Tell Him, Lauryn Hill

What have I become,
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you can have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt…
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
-Hurt, Johnny Cash

Been together for awhile now
We’re growing stronger everyday now
Feels so good and there is no doubt
I will stay with you
As each morning brings a sunrise
And the flowers bloom in springtime
On my lovin you can rely
And I’ll stay with you
Oh I will stay with you
Through the ups and downs
Oh I will stay with you
When no one else is around
When the dark clouds arrive
I will stay by your side
Oh I know we’ll be alright
I will stay with you.
-Stay with you, John Legend

Something in the way she moves
Or looks my way
Or calls my name
It seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If I’m feeling down or blue
Or Troubled by some foolish game
She always seems to make me change my mind
And I feel fine any time she’s around me now
She’s around me now
Almost all the time
If I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
She’s been with me now
Quite a long long time and I feel fine.
-Something In The Way She Moves, James Taylor.

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry…

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
-Sweet Child of Mine, Guns N Roses

I met you through a common friend
In the attic of my parent’s house
And though I didn’t know it then
I soon was finding out
You are the roots that sleep beneath my feet
And hold the earth in place
Each time a faucet opens
Words are spoken
The water runs away
And I hear your name
No nothing has changed.
-Oh You Are The Roots That Sleep Beneath My Feet, Bright Eyes

More than enough
To hold you to the brightest of lights
To place you dangerously close to that sun
Enough
To acknowledge the flaws you can’t ignore
And recognize the cause of what’s done is done
-Don’t ever fucking question that, Atmosphere

Sop when I’m lost in a crowd
I hope that you’ll pick me out
How I long to be found
The grass grew high
I laid down
Now I wait for a hand
To pick me up help me stand
I’ve been laying so low
Don’t wanna lay here no more.
-Nothing gets crossed out, Bright Eyes

So there ya go. And yes, there is an obvious absence of Frank, Ella, Etta, and Nina, because those are just kind of givens in the romance department. Along with Barry Manilow and scented candles. Love ya, bitches!

Oh, I almost forgot one...
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
-There is a light that never goes out, The Smiths
