For me it's:

Crossing that bridge, with lessons I've learned
Playing with fire and not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space between me and you.

Prayer for the Dying, by Seal (1994).

That question is too hard, so I will just answer with the latest lyrics I brought up to anyone - was listening to Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, not a lyrical powerhouse. But the very beginning is one of the best beginnings -

"And I'd give up forever to touch you" is such a strong opening.

Usually for me it's more a combination of the lyrics and delivery, not just the words.
