Songs that just fit me.

There are lots of different songs that just seem to fit the situation, the feelings, the whatever is going on in my life. Lately there's been this one by 'Taylor Swift' that I really like.

A Place In This World
I don't know what I want
So don't ask me 'cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road
I'm just walking, trying to see through the rain coming down

Even though I'm not the only one who feels the way I do

I'm alone, on my own and I'm starting off
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world

Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Can you tell me what more do I need

And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh, yeah, but that's okay

I'm alone, on my own and I'm starting off
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world

Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission but I'm ready to fly (etc...)

For some reason - I just really like it.
Another one - by Kelly Clarkson - was one that fit me when it first came out a few years ago.

Behind These Hazel Eyes

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore... (etc....)

But this one I really like - by Natasha Bedingfield - is just fun, upbeat and makes me happy!

Pocketful Of Sunshine
[Interlude]
I got a pocket,
got a pocket full of sunshine
I got a love and I know that it's all mine.
oh.oh,oh
Do what you want,
but you never gonna break me,
sticks and stone are never gonna shake me
oh.oh,oh
I got a pocket,
got a pocket full of sunshine
I got a love and I know that it's all mine.
Oh.oh,oh
Wish that you could but you ain't gonna own me,
do anything you want you can't slow me down.
oh, no.

[Chorus]
Take me away (take me away)
A secret place (a secret place)
A sweet escape (a sweet escape)
Take me away (take me away)
Take me away (take me away)
To better days (to better days)
Take me away (take me away)
A hiding place (a hiding place)

I got pocket,
Got a pocket full of sunshine
I got a love and I know that it's all mine.
oh.oh,oh
Do what you want,
but you never gonna break me.
oh.oh,oh

[Chorus]

There's a place that I go
That nobody knows
Where the rivers flow
And I call it home
And there's no more lies
And darkness is light
And nobody cries
there's only butterflies

The sun is on my side
Take me for a ride
I smile up to the sky
I know I'll be alright

There's more, of course, but these ones stuck out to me while I was writing this post. If you can think of any other songs that fit me, please state them! It's always nice to know...
