- "I thought that I was dreaming when you said you loved me."
- "You're the only friend I need, sharing beds like little kids, laughing 'til our ribs get tough. But that will never be enough."
- "We're reeling through the midnight streets, and I've never felt more alone. It feels so scary, getting old."
- "Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears. It's a new art form showing people how little we care."
- "I hate the headlines and the weather. I'm nineteen and I'm on fire, but when we're dancing, I'm alright. It's just another graceless night."
- "This is the start of how it all ever ends. They used to shout my name, now they whisper it."
- "When you see me, will you say I've changed? I ride the subway, read the signs, I let the seasons change my mind. I love it here since I've stopped needing you."
- "I'll let you in on something big: I am not a white teeth teen. I tried to join, but never did."
- "Though i've traveled far, i've been back to the start, and I found some scars in places I have never shown to anyone. I don't know why it took so long to get back home."
- "Easy they come, easy they go. I jump from the train, I ride off alone. I never grew up, it's getting so old. Help me hold onto you."
- "I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost. The room is on fire, invisible smoke. And all of my heroes die all alone. Help me hold onto you."
- "I've been the archer, I've been the prey. Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling? but who could stay? (I see right through me, I see right through me)."
- "Back up, baby, back up. Did you forget everything?"
- "I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want them all."
- "And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me, and at every table I'll save you a seat, lover."
- "Take me out, then take me home. You're my lover."
- "With every guitar string scar on my hand, I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover."
- "So you're leaving in the morning on the early train, and I could say everything's alright, and I could pretend and say goodbye. Got your ticket, got your suitcase, got your leaving smile; and I could say that's the way it goes, and I could pretend and you won't know that I was lying."
- "We took a taxi to the station, not a word was said, and I saw you walk across the road for maybe the last time, I don't know. Feeling humble, I heard a rumble on the railway track, and when I hear that whistle blow I'll walk away, and you won't know that I was crying cause I can't stop loving you."
- “You don't have to talk to me the way we used to talk for hours. You don't have to talk at all. But may I send you flowers?”
- “You can take my heart, it was always yours. But give me back my dreams.”
- ”When the clock strikes three, I don't care anymore about you or anything; when the clock strikes four, I could sell my soul just to hear my telephone ring.”
- "But if I gave up on being pretty, I wouldn't know how to be alive."
- "Oh, hunter, if you didn't want the beautiful so badly, perhaps you would've found it in your spirit, singing softly."
- "You're growing tired of me; you love me so hard and I still can't sleep. You're growing tired of me and all the things I don't talk about."
- "It's just that I fell in love with a war and nobody told me it ended, and it left a pearl in my head, and I roll it around every night, just to watch it glow."
- "I am a forest fire, and I am the fire and I am the forest, and I am a witness watching it. I stand in a valley watching it, and you are not there at all."
- "And you'd say you love me and look in my eyes, but I know through mine you were looking in yours."
- "Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but maybe when you tell your friends, you can tell them what you saw in me, and not how I turned out to be."
- "I can still smell the fire, though I know it's long died out. The smoke still hangs in my hair, and on some quiet evenings it burns my eyes."
