You definitely took one of my favorite ones right there. I also like this one from the same album
"Don't see some man as half empty
See them half full of shit."
"Sometimes I wish we had a short term memory just enough to recognize each others face
It would be the same ol story...but you're hanging on to every single word I have to say" - Brian Vanderark, The Verve Pipe - Half A Mind
"I wanted to see you walking backwards
And get the sensation of you coming home" - Adam Duritz, Counting Crows - Time And Time Again
Theres definitely a lot more as far as rock/folk/singer songwriters go....but for hip hop, Common has most of my faves
"Thinkin we all in love cause we can spend a day together?
We talkin spendin the rest of our lives, theres too many black women that could say that they mothers but can't say that they wifes" - Common - Retrospect For Life
"Granted we've known each other for some time
It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine" - Common - The Light
"It's deep, I heard the city breathe in its sleep
Of reality I touch, but for me it's hard to keep
Deep, I heard my man breathe in his sleep
Of reality I touch, but for me it's hard to keep" - Black Star Feat. Common - Respiration
But probably the best ever....hmmm...hard maybe this one by Tupac Shakur
"And if my doubts and questions upset you
(forgive my fragile heart) forgive my fragile heart
I just wanted to know if you'd love me forever before today,
would start (would you love me.. would you love me..)" - Tupac Shakur - What Of A Love Unspoken?
Asta!!
