Hey guys this is my first post here, and I was wondering: whats your favorite anco lyric?
Mine is
"and winter's glow where could she be
She's warmin' in my my pocket"
Runner ups:
"REWWEWEREREEWEWER"
"Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain
It's easy to sleep when it whets my brain
It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen
Kissing the wind through my window screen"
"Watch me as I lead the way
From infancy to grown up babies"

breathe out you're alright
breathe in with all
breathing out all that shame

As I left my home I cried
And a substituted figure tried
To reconcile the things I'd left behind
You had opened up the door
And made a place where I could sit inside
And fortify
But I said no I’d rather not
Said no I’d rather not step in
I'm on my own
When no ones left to light the load
Then so one goes to lift alone
I'd like to embrace it all
Have I made this or is it
That I've been made?

No more at the wrong time
No more in the wrong place
No more getting through
Trials in sight
No more little fights
Never more a broke mess at night
Out of my body
Out of my mind

I like this one
"What's the point in pouring it all out when you guys just wear it on your coat?
I believe that for this piece of time we can really crank us up a lot
Get your head out from those mags and websites who try to shape your style
Take a risk just for yourself and wade into the deep end of the ocean"
I like this one too

Came here to post this tbh
I'll drop some of my other favorites
"Gotta crush high
Crushed all I could
Crushed all I can then I touched your hand
Crush high!
Don't want it to stop, but stories of another make my crush high pop
Couldn't really know cuz it's in my toes
And sometimes I wonder where that crush high go
Crush high!
Then I go and take some pills, cuz I can't do all of my do's and still feel real!
Get that, YAOOOOOOOOOOO"
(Obviously I love this part hence my username)
"See your hopes become my hopes"
"Does anyone in here get hit with
Inside fever?
So bad sometimes it's hard to move around"
"Golden gal
Taught me restraint she said
'You'll want me more much later, dude
I'm your everything and not your toy'"

"I see some workers pissing"
"Only my best friends use the coke pot crack"
But in all seriousness...
"I can't wait to find home"
"Comfort, comfort, why do you run for it? Why can't you keep doing what you're supposed to do?"
"I'm alright if you're alright"
"I don't mind working to fill a need, if rather be in hills of sand, but then I might get thirsty to fill a need"
"Am I really all the things that are outside of me?"
Really, I like nearly all their lyrics a whole lot, they always speak to me and the AC guys really know how to phrase things well

how can a band be so good it doesnt make sense

man, people never mention the full lyric for that one, and its so much more powerful with the whole thing.
"I will have sons and daughters/And I will say/Here are your grandchildren/And you will see them"

It was implied

yeah, not saying it wasn't implied in this case, but I think since on the album version its harder to hear the other lyrics, there are people that only really know the first part. Which is a shame since to me the real emotional weight of the song comes from the second half.

and
'got a big big big heartbeat yeah!'
and
'coolness is having courage, courage to do what's right. try to remember always, just to have a good time'
