geez, this album is full of great lyrics. I love sexual lyrics so definitely..
17
"it’s the rolling of her Spanish tongue, that made me wanna stay" -I'm Australian, but I can pretend im Spanish when I listen to this haha
I Want You
"A choke and a gag, she spit up and came back for more"
and these
Notion
"So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before"
and
"Got a notion to say what doesn't feel right
I just wanted to know if I could go home "
Everything in Use Somebody!!
Cold Desert - yep, I cried to this too..I was so tired and the lyrics totally overwhelmed me.
"You told me you loved me, that I'd never die alone, hand over your heart let's go home
I never ever, cry when I am feeling down, I've always been scared of the sound. Jesus don't love me, no one ever carried my load, I'm too young to feel this old."
there's more, but these always stand out

"Jesus don't love me/ no one ever carried my load/ I'm too young to feel this old."
Beautiful, honest, heartbreaking.

"Gonna run, baby run like a stream down the mountain side!" That's a good one, didn't remember it straight away  Basically every line in Frontier City that has going going gone in it, because it reminds me of the home videos good times! and "we live until we live no more" from that same song as well |

Frontier City "Find yourself a new frontier, cos life is going, going, gone. Fly yourself away from here. We live until we live no more." I never realised that these were the lyrics for Frontier City - its completely changed the song for me. I didn't like it before. Use Somebody - I think all the lyrics are beautiful but especially - 'I could just use somebody like you and all you know' Revelry - Again I love all of this song - 'it was you all along that had a hold of my heart but the demon and me were best friends from the start' And of course 'Jesus don't love me...' from Cold Desert. There are more but I can't think of them straight off and trying to read the booklet makes my eyes hurt, lol. |

"Hand over your heart, let's go home."
... and everything else in Cold Desert, basically.

It's an obvious choice, but the most powerful lyric they've (maybe anyone, imo) ever written;
'Jesus Don't love me, no-one ever carried my load'. - Cold Desert
Especially coming from someone as religious as Caleb, it blows me away every time i listen to it.

Whatever Matt supposedly sings into his guitar pickup at the start of Closer  Doesn't matter that it's not actual words, still awesome! |

Okay, I'm kinda grumpy today so I'm going to get something off my chest and totally piss everyone off. To be honest with you, the lyric "Jesus don't love me. No one ever carried my load" makes me a little angry.
WHAT F*&^% LOAD, CALEB? You're a young multi-millionaire dating a gorgeous supermodel. Your job involves travelling the world and playing music to thousands of adoring fans.
Compared to a lot of people in the world, he's got it pretty damn good.
Okay, I'm done. Sorry for ruining the lyrical lovefest.
(I told you I was grumpy)
Carry on.....

Sorry for ruining the lyrical lovefest. (I told you I was grumpy) Carry on..... Even though i really like that line, i've thought about it in a similar way too. Everyone is used to different things and when you have a certain quality of life, going....below it...sort of..may cause you to feel that way. It might seem weird that he says that because to the majority of people, it seems that he has nothing to feel down about but i think it's all down to a person's perspective. Maybe having a successful career and a supermodel girlfriend etc etc, doesn't completely fulfill him? Anyway, i'm not trying to prove you wrong, i kind of agree actually, but that's just my two cents |

It's not all about being rich and famous. |

erm yea its just lyrics....not necessarily talking about himself...
i think anything from Closer is amazing
i like 'i see a storm bubblin up from the sea'
or the line about 'Leaving me stranded all in love on my own' is amazing
'stranded in this spooky town, stop lights are swaying and the phone lines are down'
'countin on the night for a beautiful day'

I love Caleb's lyrics, they all have so much imagery in them. As soon as he starts singing it's like i'm actually there |
