Default Vocalists using "uneven" phrase lengths

Best example I can think of off the top of my head:



The verses are organized in groups of 3 measures each. It's not uncommon for lyrics to have that kind of pattern, but usually the third line is longer (in words, melody, or spacing), so it fills a space equal to the first two lines.

I personally respect when the lyrics aren't bent/stretched/condensed to fit a 4x4 pattern. Looking for more music like it if anyone can think of any; Or to hear your thoughts as lyricists, cause I'm thinking from a rhythm section perspective.
