I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up...
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
The lyrics are beautiful, but the song is more beautiful than you would have expected out of the patch of these words.
Snow Patrol is good, though I did not really like their last single. This one's a hit for me, even if it was released waaay back. Especially the way their lead vocalist sings the song. He makes me feel like he is serenading me, or atleast talking to me. Grabe, the impact is so beautiful it makes me cry. =)) The lyrics were really...what's the word I'm looking for...can't find the word... The lyrics were really clear, straight-to-the-point, but it still conveys as much emotion and feeling as a song written with sheer poetry--even more. First time I sang to it accompanied by the lyrics I got it na. Haha. I have an affinity for this song. =P
Call it lame, i call it music at it's best.
