Didn't read the whole thread but I'm sure it's come up- for me it's absolutely "You can't always get what you want."I use that to teach my children.
Honorable mention goes to "Be happy with what you have to be happy with."
"I know....it's only rock n roll.....but I like it"
Alice Cooper's "I Love the Dead":
I love the dead before they rise,
No farewells, no goodbyes,
I never even knew your now rotting face.
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave...
I have other uses for you darling.
It's very touching.

"Like a story, we wish was never-ending, we know sometime we must reach the final page.
Still we carry on just pretending that there's always one more day to go."
I don't know if that's advice but it hits me in the feels. I'm always pretending. I shouldn't.

Rush probably have lots more. I'm sure YES does too. I might think of more later.
Is this from "low spark of high heeled boys?" It sounds familiar. I like that song and album.
Well if that didn't inspire Jon Anderson I don't know what did.
They really are incredible lyrics.Well if that didn't inspire Jon Anderson I don't know what did.

We are the grandchildren of apes, not angels
But only we are gifted with the eyes to see
On days without FEAR, when our heads are clear
That angels, we could be

Seasons will pass you by - I get up, I get down....
It's a still life water color,
Of a now late afternoon,
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
And shadows wash the room.
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference,
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs,
The borders of our lives.
And you read your Emily Dickinson,
And I my Robert Frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost.
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme,
In syncopated time
And The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives.
Yes we speak of things that matter,
With words that must be said,
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
"Is the theater really dead?"
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow,
I cannot feel your hand,
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives.
Paul Simon, "Dangling Conversation"
Every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser.
--Kenny Rogers
"God, please fuck my mind for good ... Death be damned. LIFE."

Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?
This is the one I was thinking of when I started reading the thread.
If you cant be with the one you love, then love the one your with.
Also from PF's Time,
Then one day you find ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
Rush... from Second Nature
Too many rapids keep us sweeping along
Too many captains keep on steering us wrong
