Do I Ever Cross Your Mind? // And Im Not Trying To Ruin Your Happiness // But Darling, Dont You Know

Do I ever cross your mind? // And I’m not trying to ruin your happiness // But darling, don’t you know that I’m the only one for you?

Love this Shawn Mendes song!  I love the John Mayer-esque style of this song, and the raw emotion he has.  Shawn Mendes has really grown since Handwritten, and this song from Illuminate highlights that perfectly.  Not only does his songwriting have a lot more emotional depth, not that Handwritten didn’t have a lot of great songs, but his voice has become a lot better.  His slightly raspy tone mixed with those guitar riffs really makes this song so special. He captures the turmoil in these lyrics perfectly. This song is definitely one of the best on Illuminate, even though it doesn’t get as much credit as his other singles.

The people fade away and all stars are just a flicker // And you're left there all alone // When there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around // All the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out

Love this song from Matchbox Twenty! I’m a huge fan of Rob Thomas, both vocally and lyrically. I love how this song starts the North album.  These lyrics are beautiful to me, and like always, I love the emotion and intensity Rob brings to every word. I also love the instrumentation and how it complements Rob’s voice and lyrics so well.

You know I loved a girl who said that I could change the world // If only I was brave enough to live the life in front of me

Love this song from Goo Goo Dolls. This album was so good, but I especially love this one. Johnny voice sounds great as always.  One thing I love about the Goo Goo Dolls is their amazing songwriting, and these lyrics don’t disappoint either.  All of their songs have at least one great lyric.

Liar, liar, don’t cry on my shoulder // You played with fire, and you smiled when you told her

Super disappointed that the Grammy’s did not add Christina Grimmie into their tribute, so I thought I would do my own tribute. RIP Christina.  You are not forgotten. You are loved and missed by many.

Up until now, I had sworn to myself that I’m content with loneliness // Cuz none of it was ever worth the risk // But you are the only exception

One of my favorite love songs.  I love the story of a girl breaking down all the walls she built for this person.  These lyrics are equal parts deep and sweet, and I love the story that they tell.  Plus Hayley sounds awesome as always.

Every smile as it begins is yours and yours alone // This day is yours and yours alone // Light it up and let it go // Don’t you see that you are not alone? // Light it up and watch it fly // Cuz you can be anything you want tonight

My favorite for KING & COUNTRY song! The lyrics of this song are so beautiful and pure, and I love the instrumentation surrounding it in this song.  This song is constructed so beautifully, and this acoustic live version presents the lyrics as the forefront of the song, where they belong.  I cannot say enough about these lyrics, and I love the emotion Joel and Luke give them.
