Now, in celebration of Gavin DeGraw's Aug. 29 Sessions performance, you can take a look at 10 of the top lyrics the New York singer has ever penned -- and you might be surprised at what we found!
10
"These reeling emotions, they just keep me alive/They keep me in tune/Oh, look what I'm holding here in my fire/This is for you"
'Follow Through' (2003)
High expectations can sometimes dampen a relationship, but the love that you return to build a person up will ultimately lead to happiness.

"I came from the mountain, the crust of creation/My whole situation made from clay to stone and now I'm telling everybody"
'I Don't Want to Be' (2004)
For anyone who has ever questioned their own desires and dreams, Gavin sings a set of rules to live by and shows that we should all be proud of who we are inside.

"Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries/And seedless watermelon/Oh, nothing from the ground is good enough"
'Chariot' (2005)
In the overwrought hubbub of New York City, or any urban center, you can forget how to find your 'happy place,' which is precisely where Gavin takes you on this hit track.

07
"You were just friends/at least that's what you said/Now I know better from his fingers in your hair"
'Just Friends' (2006)
This cut from DeGraw's album 'Chariot' is a real stinger. You can feel the pain of a lover so scorned -- a man who loves his lady so much that he forgives her as easily as she flirts with others.

06
"We could try to live the way of which you speak/Taste the milk of mother earth's love/Spread the word of consciousness you seek/We are everything we need"
'We Belong Together' (2006)
With Gavin's voice at the height of emotion, this tune is the perfect couple's anthem. Who doesn't like carefully-crafted pop melodies with a message of total devotion?

05
"I'm in love with a girl who knows me better/Fell for the woman just when I met her/Took my sweet time when I was bitter/Someone understands"
'In Love with a Girl' (2008)
Everyone is searching for that special someone -- a person that will understand you better than anyone else in the world, even when the going gets tough.

04
"You've run through the whole gamut of game play/The head trip parade/Without any experience/You become curious prey"
'She Holds a Key' (2008)
As if written by renowned love poet John Donne himself, DeGraw paints a picture of a lusting lady ready to take her man into a world only she knows how to control.

03
"Someone else's eyes, someone else's arms/Someone else's obvious moves/I'm a jealous guy, I hear people talk/And it isn't hard to believe, I think you cheated on me"
'Cheated on Me' (2008)
'Cheated on Me' gets right to the point, detailing the way it feels when you know your 'one-and-only' has been with someone else.

02
"I'll follow close, so close I'll almost touch/I need your love but it never hurt this much"
'Stay' (2009)
At the apex of a fight, Gavin croons the words we all wish we could call on command. When we just can't bear to go to bed angry, 'Stay' will show your partner just how much you care.

01
"Damn girl you do it well, and I thought you were innocent/Took this heart and put it through hell, but still you're magnificent"
'Not Over You' (2011)
The title says it all, and we're all familiar with this story. You might not be able to stand how they speak, or the ways that they hurt you, but you still can't take your eyes off that ex.
