There’s just something within that suddenly transforms you into the dramatic and heart-wrenching African Queen Taylor Swift when you hear “Wildest Dreams” on 102.5. Whether it be a romantic song or a dramatic one, you have your longing look out the window down pat. (Don’t lie to me… you know I’m right). Well, get your best dramatic faces ready ladies, because here are 10 of the best songs to listen to when you want to longingly looking out of the car window and pretend to be all sad and dramatic and stuff.
-
“Come to Me”- The Goo Goo Dolls
The perfect beat for your imaginary love story, combined with heartfelt lyrics and an even more heartfelt music video. Am I the only hopeless romantic out there who wants this to somehow be involved in her wedding proposal? *tears*

2. “Stars (Hold On)” – Youngblood Hawke
Although it might not be well known, this song is perfect for any dramatic window staring in your near future.

3. “Chasing Cars”- Sleeping at Last
Does it get better than this? I mean seriously, who writes this stuff? Better question… where can I find one?

4. “Step Out”- Jose Gonzalez
This song makes me imagine an unbearably romantic airport scene where the guy runs after the girl who’s (of course) about to board her plane *gag*.

5. “Wildest Dreams”- Taylor Swift
Did you really dramatically stare out the window if you didn’t listen to this song? Pretty sure T-Swizzle had us dramatic window gazers in mind when she wrote this. Perfection. What’s new though?

6. “Like I’m Gonna Lose You”- Meghan Trainor with John Legend
Meghan Trainor and John Legend… a dream team if I ever heard one. This ballad isn’t just a love song to your significant other, it’s a ballad to your “soulmate.” You know… the one you made eye-contact with once on the P2P at 3am? Yeah, that guy. This one’s for you, P2P boy.

7. “Perfect”- One Direction
In the words of one of my best friends, “This song is so perfect it makes me want to cry.” Same, Allison… Same.

8. “Do Or Die” – Thirty Seconds To Mars
I can guarantee that these lyrics will be in your head for the next 24 hours. You’re welcome.

9. “Wait” – M83
SPOILERZZZ: Do you remember that scene in “The Fault In Our Stars” when Hazel is reading Augustus’ letter? Well, this is the song that made you cry like a baby. John Green… you are a cruel, cruel man. Okay? Okay.

10. “Unkiss Me”- Maroon 5
I don’t know about you, but I would never ask Adam Levine to unkiss me.

For some reason, it’s just comforting to release your dramatic side. Use this playlist with caution, because it will most likely make you all sappy and stuff. Feelings. Gross, ammiright?
