(This was so hard for me to narrow down to 10, considering the music lover I am.)
1.
Stay or Leave by Dave Matthews Band
Stay or leave I want you not to go But you should It was good as good goes Stay or leave I want you not to go But you did
I used to dabble in writing myself and this song was always such an inspiration for so many scenes where you desperately want to be with someone, but know you can't.
2.
Tomorrow by Chris Young
But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time Rock you strong in these arms of mine Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow We're like fire and gasoline I'm no good for you You're no good for me We only bring each other tears and sorrow But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
Another song about giving in one last time and finally letting go because it's just not meant to be.
3.
I Will Wait by Mumford and Sons
Well, I came home Like a stone And I fell heavy into your arms These days of dust Which we've known Will blow away with this new sun
But I'll kneel down, Wait for now And I'll kneel down, Know my ground
And I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you
I just love this song. It would be a great song to show the longing and willingness to wait as long as it took for that someone.
4.
I've Got This Friend by The Civil Wars
Oh I've got this friend Holding onto her heart Like it's a little secret Like it's all she's got to give
Ohh, if the right one came If the right one came along Ohh, if the right one came, along
The perfect song about building up your friend!
5.
Grey Street by Dave Matthews Band
There’s an emptiness inside her And she’d do anything to fill it in But all the colors mix together - to grey And it breaks her heart
How she wishes it was different She prays to God most every night And though she swears it doesn’t listen There’s still a hope in her it might
This is a deeply personal song to me, but I think it would make an amazing book about a girl who feels empty and broken, who would do anything to change her fate and existence.
6.
Jenny by Nothing More
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear See your mother here, her last painful year I wish you only knew... She stuck around for you She stuck around for you Maybe you should just fall And leave the world and lose it all And if that's what you need To finally see I'll be with you through it all
This would definitely be a much darker book, given the content of this song.
7.
Lover Come Back by City and Colour
I sing lover come back, lover come back to me Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me How could I have been so foolish to let you leave Lover come back, lover come back to me
I'll never be as good as I'd like to be Eternally restless refusing to believe But I think that we missed our connection I wanted to feel your affection Until my final days
I think the title of this one is pretty self explanatory.
8.
Kiss You Slow by Andy Grammer
I know you didn't think that loving me meant so much time alone Dinner for one on the couch, another movie on your own You know that I'm never gonna be a nine to five, that was never me I was born with a compass in my hand and a restless soul
But when it hurts, when you can't take it And when the rubber band feels like it's breaking
Hear the kick drum, that's my heart right there Let the melody run its fingers through your hair And my piano will kiss you slow tonight And my vocals tickle your ear And you almost can feel me here And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
I can see this being an awesome rocker romance story....
9.
Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran
Lie down with me And hold me in your arms
And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed in my neck I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now
Kiss me like you wanna be loved You wanna be loved You wanna be loved This feels like falling in love Falling in love We're falling in love
Omg this song. I love this song so much.
10.
Smoke by Maddie & Tae
Baby, you're just like smoke, blowing on the wind One minute, you're by my side and then you're gone again You might be bad for me, but I just wanna breathe you in Every time I reach out, I find there ain't nothing to hold Boy, you're just like smoke
We can start out slow like an ember Get the fire burning back behind your eyes I wanna feel you when we're together So, whatever you do, baby, don't disappear
Country songs are already mini books in my opinion!

(sorry I couldn't resist one more!)
Crash My Party by Luke Bryan
If you wanna call me, call me, call me you don’t have to worry ‘bout it baby. You can wake me up in the dead of the night; wreck my plans, baby that’s alright. This is a drop everything kind of thing. Swing on by I will pour you a drink. The door’s unlocked, I’ll leave on the lights Baby you can crash my party anytime.
The perfect friends to lovers song!
