Relating in lyrics

You know when hear a song and you think to yourself..."That artist totally wrote that song about me!"(clarification: NO I'm conceded and think songs are about me, I just relate to the song). I have these moments quite often. I can hear a song and immediately relate to what the artist was feeling or thinking at the time he/she wrote it or I can put myself as the person in the song... does that make sense?


Maybe I should explain by example:

There is a song called "Beautiful Disaster" written by Jon McLaughlin... I've been listening to this song for over a year and every time I hear it, I think "wow he read my mind and he totally has a grasp on my life was and still is."

Here are lyrics:

She loves her mama's lemonade,
Hates the sounds that goodbyes make.
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her.
She swears that there's no difference,
Between the lies and complements.
It's all the same if everybody leaves her.

And every magazine tells her she's not good enough,
The pictures that she sees make her cry.

And she would change everything, everything just ask her.
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster,
And she needs someone to take her home.

She's giving boys what they want, tries to act so nonchalant,
Afraid they'll see that she's lost her direction.
She never stays the same for long,
Assuming that she'll get it wrong.
Perfect only in her imperfection.

She's not a drama queen,
She doesn't want to feel this way, only seventeen but tired

She would change everything for happy ever after.
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster,
But she just needs someone to take her home.

Cuz she's just the way she is, but no ones told her that's OK.

And she would change everything, everything just ask her.
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster,

And she would change everything for happy ever after.
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster,

But she just needs someone to take her home
And just needs someone to take her home.



Do you have a song that relates to your life?
