Proof by Paramore is a good one too :3
From Where You Are by lifehouse is one of my favorite.
Lights – Oil and Water
King and Lionheart by Of Monsters and Men isn’t necessarily a ldr song, but it works. So is Song For A Winter’s Night (I like the Gordon Lightfoot version). Also, The Promise by Tracy Chapman makes me cry every single time for how accurate it feels.
Those are my go-to last songs.
