Can anyone think of a good indie style song with good love lyrics?
It's a long list, sorry. :-)





COLDPLAY


*SPARKS-


My heart is yours


It's you that I hold on to


That's what I'll do


Yeah I saw sparks

*CAREFUL WHERE YOU STAND-


I feel safe, I feel warm


When you're here and I do no wrong


I am cured when I'm by your side


I'm alright, alright


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atEstEJNX...





*EASY TO PLEASE-


Love, I hope we get on


I hope we can find a way


Seeing it all


Love, I hope we can be


I hope I can find a way


Of letting you see


That I'm so easy to please


So easy


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiiOpHEAd...





*PROOF-


If I ever want proof


I find it in you


Yeah I honestly do


In you I find proof


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuRwuWy5D...





*WARNING SIGN-this is my favorite song in the world, it's really meant to be for when you're missing someone, but it's a beautiful song, so I have to recommend it anyway. :-)





A warning sign,


You came back to haunt me and I realized,


That you were an island and I passed you by,


You were an island to discover.

OTHERS:





CITIZEN COPE-SIDEWAYS


These feelings won't go away


They've been knockin' me sideways


I keep thinking in a moment that


Time will take them away


But these feelings won't go away.

AMOS LEE-SWEET PEA


Sweet pea


Apple of my eye


Don't know when and I don't know why


You're the only reason I keep on coming home


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50Qo62s8Q...





THE POSTAL SERVICE-SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS


I am thinking it's a sign


That the freckles in our eyes


Are mirror images and when we kiss


They're perfectly aligned


And I have to speculate


That God himself did make us


Into corresponding shapes


Like puzzle pieces from the clay.

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE-I WILL FOLLOW YOU INTO THE DARK


Love of mine


Someday you will die


But I'll be close behind


I'll follow you into the dark


No blinding light


Or tunnels to gates of white


Just our hands clasped so tight


Waiting for the hint of a spark


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HY7Jg_Pr...





BRIGHT EYES-THE FIRST DAY OF MY LIFE


Yours is the first face that I saw


I think I was blind before I met you


Now I don’t know where I am


I don’t know where I’ve been


But I know where I want to go.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUBYzpCNQ...





ROGUE WAVE-EYES


Well I'm pushing myself to finish this part,


I can handle a lot,


But one thing I'm missing is in your eyes.


In your eyes.

Reply:Romeo and Juliet by The Killers. it is the story of Romeo and Juliet in an awesome song. you can't beat the killers with indie





but if you want more lighthearted, When Did your Heart Go Missing by Rooney would also work.





Check Yes Juliet by We the Kings or Skyway Avenue by them too





and this is more alternative than indie but its amazing lyrics and i thought i'd throw it in, Miserable at Best, by Mayday Parade
Reply:Thank God and Greyhound





I've made a small fortune and you squandered it all


You shamed me till I feel about one inch tall


But I thought I loved you and I hoped you would change


So I gritted my teeth and didn't complain.





Now you come to me with a simple goodbye


You tell me you're leaving but you won't tell me why


Now we're here at the station and you're getting on


And all I can think of is thank God and Greyhound you're gone





Thank God and Greyhound you're gone


I didn't know how much longer I could go on


Watching you take the respect out of me


Watching you make a total wreck out of me


That big diesel motor is a-playing my song


Thank God and Greyhound you're gone.





Thank God and Greyhound you're gone


That load on my mind got lighter when you got on


That shiny old bus is a beautiful sight


With the black smoke a-rolling up around the taillight


It may sound kind-a cruel but I've been silent too long


Thank God and Greyhound you're gone.





Thank God and Greyhound you're gone...
