I'm not talking about the full lyrics, but just a phrase or a sentence that you feel is right up your alley.

One of my personal favourites is from Barmy by The Fall: I got everything I want except for money.

Throw yourself into the unknown, with pace and a fury defiant. Clothe yourself in beauty untold, and see life as a means to a triumph

There are so many. Father John Misty, the cheeky bastard, writes lyrics so well. In Goodbye Mr. Blue -

When the last time was our last time, if only then I knew that the last time was our last time, would have told you that the last time comes too soon.

And from The Head and the Heart back when they were making magic with Josiah Johnson -

The world keeps spinning, a little too fast. If we don't slow down soon it might not last. So just for a moment, just for a moment, let's be still.

Now you come to me and you've got green streaks in your hair

You walk like Greta Garbo, but you talk like Yogi Bear

What's going on? What's going on?

I really don't believe what's going on; what's going on?

Without your love my life aint nothing but this carnival of rust

- Carnival of Rust by Poets of the Fall

EDIT: Another line I find to fit the bill, from the same song:

And more than ever, I hope to never fall, where enough is not the same it was before
