From there:
"What I think makes the best song, is really putting feelings into it. Writing it so that it provokes an emotion in people when they listen to it. Allowing people to relate to it, and know exactly what you mean. I also think you need something catchy, in it. Like, it's hard to explain...
Alright, I have an example of the feelings portion of my answer, have you ever heard the song "Six Feet Under The Stars" by All Time Low? If not, listen to it. The lyrics are just really good (in my opinion) not only for your question, but everybody whose trying to write songs and I think everyone has those feelings of not being good enough for somebody and wanting to impress somebody. The song just makes you remember a time you wanted so badly to impress somebody, and it provokes an emotion. See what I mean?
And what I said about the putting it in a catchy way, have you ever heard the song "If You Wanted A Song Written About You, All You Had To Do Was Ask" by Mayday Parade? Probably not, but the song has a PERFECT example of what I'm trying to say. During the song, there's a part that says:
"And you dropped the note, and we changed key.
You changed yourself and I changed me,
I really didn't see us singing through this.
Then you screamed the bridge and I cried the verse
and our chorus came out unrehearsed.
And you smiled the whole way through it,
I guess maybe that's what's worse."
The way they put that was just so catchy and I loved it, because they didn't just make the lyrics say something like: 'you gave up on me, I gave up on you, I didn't think we'd make it through this, but you were wrong." blah blah blah.
So bottom line, good songs (to me at least):
1. Provoke an emotion.
2. Put it in an interesting way."
Hope this Helps!

coming from this great attraction
i cant even concentrate
he's my biggest distraction

"I was so in love with you,
But you never, ever knew
All those things that I dreamt at night.
Without you, I can't survive.
There is not one day that the thought of you doesn't go through my mind, boy without you I can't survive..."?
Something along those lines?
I hope this helped,
