Boys Like Girls

Two of the top songs that are most inspirational to me at this moment are from the band Boys Like Girls. The songs are "Go" and "Chemicals Collide". They are most motivational to me because I have been struggling to overcome an addiction.

Especially with the song "Go" it relieves my stress, and when I listen to the lyrics it gives me so much strength that I can keep on going, and be strong and get over this all on my own. I cry nearly every time I listen to it because I could have almost written this myself - it's so relate-able. The lyrics in this song is all about getting over something, and finding it within yourself to know that you are strong enough to be better without it.

And "Chemicals Collide" is motivational as well because there is someone in my life now that is also helping me overcome this addictions, and they take me for who I am; it also gives me strength in myself that I can realize how good of a person I really am, and how strong I really can be.


Editor's note: Awesome lyrics, indeed! Highly inspirational, and I can see why. Great choice. I am posting the video and lyrics here for you:

Go Lyrics

Little change of the heart
Little light in the dark
Little hope that you just might find your way up out of here
'Cos you've been hiding for days
Wasted and wasting away
But I got a little hope, today you’ll face your fears

Yeah I know that it’s not easy
I know that it’s so hard
Follow the lights to the city

And get up and Go, take a chance and be strong
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
Don’t look back just go
Take a breath, move along
You could spend your whole life holding on
You could spend your whole life holding on

Believe the tunnel can end
Believe your body can mend
Yeah I know you can make it through
'Cos I believe in you
So let’s go put up a fight
Let’s go make everything alright
Go on and take a shot, go give it all you got

Oh yeah I know that it’s not easy
I know that it’s hard
Yeah it’s not always pretty

Get up and go,
Take a chance and be strong
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
Don’t look back just go,
Take a breath and move along
You could spend your whole life holding on
You could spend your whole life holding on

Don’t wanna wake up to the telephone ring
Are you sitting down? I need to tell you something
Enough is enough you can stop waiting to breathe
And don’t wait up for me

Get up and go
Take a chance and be strong
You can spend your whole life holding on

Don’t look back just go
Take a breath and move along
You could spend your whole life holding on
Get up and go
Take a chance and be strong
Or you could spend your whole life holding on

Don’t look back just go
Take a breath, move along
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
You could spend your whole life holding on
Don’t spend your whole life holding on

Yeah
