Snow Patrol - The Lightning Strike (текст песни)
[i - what if this storm ends?]
what if this storm ends?
and i don′t see you
as you are now
ever again
the perfect halo
of gold hair and lightning
sets you off against
the planet′s last dance
just for a minute
the silver forked sky
lit you up like a star
that i will follow
now it′s found us
like i have found you
i don′t want to run
just overwhelm me
what if this storm ends?
and leaves us nothing
except a memory
a distant echo
i want pinned down
i want unsettled
rattle cage after cage
until my blood boils
i want to see you
as you are now
every single day
that i am living
painted in flames
all peeling thunder
be the lightning in me
that strikes relentless
[ii - the sunlight through the flags]
from here the caravans are kids toys
and i can hold them all in my palm
i watch the sea creep round the corner
it connects the dots from here to you
the sunlight burning through the loose flags
painted high on white church walls
i chase my blood from brain to thumped heart
until i′m out of breath for trying
worry not everything is sound
this is the safest place you′ve found
the only noise beating out is ours
lacing our tea from honey jars
these accidents of faith and nature
they tend to stick in the spokes of you
but every now and then the trend bucks
and you′re repaired by more than glue
worry not everything is sound
this is the safest place you′ve found
the only noise beating out is ours
lacing our tea from honey jars
why don′t you rest your fragile bones
a minute ago you looked alone
stop waving your arms you′re safe and dry
breathe in and drink up the winter sky
[iii - daybreak]
slowly the day breaks apart in our hands
and soft hallelujahs flow in from the church
the one on the corner you said frightened you
it was too dark and too large to find your soul in
something was bound to go right sometime today
all these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us
it got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained
it rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
that we could see for miles and miles
and in the middle of the flood i felt my worth
when you held onto me like i was your little life raft
please know that you were mine as well
drops of water hit the ground like god′s own tears
and spread out into shapes like
salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood
as motionless cars rust on driveways and curbs
you take off your raincoat and stretch out your arms
we both laugh out loud and surrender to it
the sheer force of sky and the cold magnet earth

Текст песни:
Sworn to secrecy I might go after school
She was an angel I saw her swimming there
I am in such a mess I can′t cope without this
She just teases me pretends she can′t see me here
So let me go out there
I can breathe fresh air
Stay with you all night
Just let me love you
Just for a while want to
Be with you all night
Be with you all night
Until I fall asleep
Just let me be here
I won′t tell anyone
Don′t want to wake up
The blind lead the blind so why can′t I find my way
This could be heaven but I don′t know where I am
I am too scared to come out from behind here
My body is aching it feels like it′s wearing me
@ Snow Patrol
Текст песни:
This could be the very minute
I′m aware I′m alive
All these places feel like home
With a name I′d never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of 25
This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I′m sorry doesn′t mean
I didn′t enjoy it at the time
You′re the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer
Goodness I saw it coming
Or at least I′ll claim I did
But in truth I′m lost for words
What have I done it′s too late for that
What have become truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I′ll do anything you ask...this time
@ Snow Patrol
Текст песни:
You cool your bedwarm hands down
On the broken radiator
When you lay them freezing on me
I mumble can you wake me later
But I don′t really want you to stop
And you know it so it doesn′t stop you
You run your hands from my neck
To my chest
Crack the shutters open wide
I want to bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle around your face and body
I could sit here for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
′Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you
Its been minutes Its been days,
I remember all I will remember
Happy lost in your hair
And the cold side of the pillow
Your hills and valleys
Are mapped by my intrepid fingers
And in a naked slumber
I dream all this again
@ Snow Patrol
Текст песни:
A little after twelve
The function suite was full
Of people I had never seen before
Ripped up ticket stubs
Confettied on the floor
It dawned on me I′d seen it all before
Cool your beans my son
You look a fucking mess
No ones getting out of here tonight
Hit that button there
The one that just says wrong
We′ll lose our minds to all our favourite songs
Throw forward to later
you look light on your feet
When you whirled in the room
I was nailed to my seat
I′m like a prisoner
getting ready to talk
I feel the blood in my hands
and the threat in your walk
And suddenly
it lifts the roof off the place
It puts a vault in my step
And a grin on my face
It can′t contain me
but you′ll need an army
To get me back in my box
Or snap the branches off me
A little after four
The function suite is dead
And I am just a ripped up ticket stub
But heres a helping hand
A voice that′s far to close
And I am up and on my broken limbs
Throw forward to later
you look light on your feet
When you whirled in the room
I was nailed to my seat
I′m like a prisoner
getting ready to talk
I feel the blood in my hands
and the threat in your walk
And suddenly
it lifts the roof off the place
It puts a vault in my step
And a grin on my face
It can′t contain me
but you′ll need an army
To get me back in my box
Or snap the branches off me
And suddenly
it lifts the roof off the place
It puts a vault in my step
And a grin on my face
It can′t contain me
but you′ll need an army
To get me back in my box
Or snap the branches off me

Текст песни:
Only the faintest only the faintest glance buries you buries me
So fire your engine see if I give a damn we′ll be dust instantly
Caught in a jet stream caught in a gorgeous howl all the world lost in noise
Use me forever use as rocket fuel I′ll be air I′ll be fire
You say you love me like the silence of the turning earth
You say you love me like the endless roar of modern of life
You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
You say you love me like the past the now the coming years
What will you remember what will you think of me after I say goodbye
Returning in bodies, plants and the sand you′ll squeeze between shoeless feet
I know I love you like the silvered gold of dying days
I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life
I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin
I know I love you like the million times I never said
I know you love me like the silence of the turning earth
I know you love me like the endless roar of modern of life
I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
I know you love me like the past the now the coming years

Текст песни:
Please don′t go crazy if I tell you the truth
No, you don′t know what happened and you never will
If you don′t listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing it′s been out in the hall
Where you′ve had me for hours til I′m sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what′s up I won′t stop. No way.
Please keep your hands and stop raising your voice
It′s hardly what I′d be doing if you gave me the choice
It′s a simple suggestion, won′t you give me some time?
So just say yes or no, why can′t you shoulder the blame?
Cuz both my shoulders are heavy from the weight of us both
You′re a big boy now so let′s not talk about growth
You′ve not heard a single word I have said. Oh my God.
Please take it easy it can′t all be my fault
I haven′t made half the mistakes that you′ve listed so far
Baby, let me explain something, it′s all down to drugs.
At least I remember taking them and not alot else.
It′s seems I′ve stepped over lines you′ve drawn again and again
But if the ecstacy′s in, the rest is definately out
Doctor Jeckyll is wresting Hyde, for my pride.

Текст песни:
Two weeks late like a surplus reprieve
I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve
I wound it round and round my finger so tight
It turned to purple and a pulse formed inside
And I knew the beat since it matched your own beat
I still remember it from our chest to chest and feet to feet
The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush
Of ovens, aeroplanes and distant car horns
A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry
A pulse your pulse, it′s the only thing I can remember
I break you don′t, I was always set to self destruct though
The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music
I said I knew the beat ′cause it matched your own beat
It′s become my engine my own source of heat
The sea between us only amplifies the sound waves
Every hum and echo and crash paints my cave.
@ Snow Patrol
Текст песни:
I want something
That′s purer than the water
Like we were
It′s not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we have
Like Saturn′s rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold
Lash out first
At all the things we don′t like
Or understand
And it′s beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what′s in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
They′re always fighting with aching joints
It′s doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight′s about
The answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in time
I only need
The compass that you gave me
To guide me on
And it′s beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what′s in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
They′re always fighting with aching joints
It′s doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight′s about
It′s so thrilling but also wrong
Don′t have to prove that you are so strong
Cos I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack
I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I′m gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I′ve lost
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I′m gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I′ve lost
@ Snow Patrol
Текст песни:
I′m running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me
I won′t be ok and I won′t pretend I am
So just tell me today and take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Just say yes, just say there′s nothing holding you back
It′s not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love
It′s so simple and you know it is
You know it is, yeah
We can′t be to and fro like this
All our lives
You′re the only way to me
The path is clear
What do I have to say to you
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
Just say yes, just say there′s nothing holding you back
It′s not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love
Just say yes, coz I′m aching and I know you are too
For the touch of your warm skin
As I breathe you in
I can feel your heart beat through my shirt
This was all I wanted, all I want
Its all I want
Its all I want
Its all I want
Its all I want
Just say yes, just say there′s nothing holding you back
It′s not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love
Just say yes, coz I′m aching and I know you are too
For the touch of your warm skin
As I breathe you in

Текст песни:
Hold on, hold on, let me get the words out before I burst
There′s no truth at all, poking at the giant eyes of ancient gods
Cool hats have failed, now it′s time for me to have my turn
Kiss me, kiss me, life is far too short to scream and shout
Flashed up in my wildest dreams, like red blood streams, stretch up like vast skies
The veins of you, the veins of me, like gold forest trees
Pushing through and on and in
Gliding like a satellite in the broken night
And when I wake you′re there I′m saved
Your love is life piled tight and high set against the sky
That seems to balance on its own
Sing out sing out the silence only eats us from the inside up
I meant no harm but I only get to say these words too late
Wake up wake up dreaming only leads to more and more nightmares
Snap out of it you said it in a wy that showed you really cared.
