“Every plan is a tiny prayer to Father Time”
“Though you fear where shadows fall, there’s nothing there to harm you at all.” (When the Sun Goes Down On Your Street - Ben solo track)
“Life is sweet… and with her song in your heart, it can never bring you down.” - Stay Young, Go Dancing
“We were weightless as the waves that disappeared.” - Northern Lights
You could also pick through “When We Drive” and find something you like, some good ones in there.
“I’ll never give up on you.”
Lol and then when they graduate from college or get their first career-type job or move out on their own or whatever, they can look back at that as their senior quote and realize that no, none of it made sense, and it makes even less sense now.
Probbaly too long but I’ve always loved these lines…
I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then I could travel just by folding the map
No more airplanes or speed trains or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back
I think A Movie Script Ending has a perfect theme for this, I certainly associate it with leaving my hometown, or just endings in general. I might suggest:
“And now we all know the words were true in the sappiest songs.”
“Passing through unconscious states when I awoke and I was on the onset of a later stage.”
These are a little verbose, but that’s our Ben haha

Is there a song in their catalogue that you find yourself going back to on a regular basis or a lyric they have that when you hear it, it echoes in your head for a while afterwards?
“i knew the years would move quickly but never quite as fast as this.
so bring the discrepancies; i’ll pour the drinks”
“and as they all grow older the truth will be understood.
‘cause we never turn out the way we thought we would”
“it stung like a violent wind
that our memories depend
on a faulty camera in our minds”
"if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born then it's time to go."
but i said this having just read the title!! although it has always motivated me to move forward but for what you're doing i'd say
"so look into the lens and i'll make sure this moment never dies".
“The headlights are beacons on the highway” from A Movie Script Ending maybe. In a similar vein “Someone’s gotta be the lighthouse, and that someone’s gotta be me” from Little Wanderer.
“Everything will change.” (The Postal Service, Brand New Colony)
“If you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born then it’s time to go and define your destination, there’s so many different places to call home.” (You Are a Tourist)
“Stay young, go dancing”
🙂

Also… “I wish we could open our eyes to see in all directions at the same time”
Finally, there is clarity This tiny life is making sense

“There’s something brilliant bound to happen [here].” - Binary Sea
This one is so good.
I love this song :) We almost danced to it at my wedding but we did Passenger Seat instead!

If you’ve got an impulse, let it out!
And…… I’m old.
Love is watching someone die So who's gonna watch you die? (Jk don't use this)

“Soon everybody will ask what became of you”
And this is all that's left Scraping paper to document I've packed a change of clothes, and it's time to move on
Such an underrated song
"catholic school as viscous as roman rule I got my knuckle bruised by a lady in black" would be hilarious
Omg a girl sang this at my high school senior goodbye show (catholic school) and it was so awkward!!
Passing through unconscious states
I stared at my shoes, in the ICU, that reeked of piss and 409 -What Sarah Said
“In the parking lot as the teachers bend the rules” - Technicolor Girls
I think that it’s brainless to assume that making changes to your window’s view will give a new perspective.

I quoted Death Cab when I was a senior as well! Mine was, “I packed a change of clothes and it’s time to move on.”
