Snow Patrol - If There's A Rocket Tie Me To It

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.

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

This Way

i need to forget you to move on
but i can still remember your smile
as if somewhere you close to me
how can it be

i need to erase you from my mind
but i still feel your arms holding me
everytime i close my eyes

now, you have gone so far away
but your presence is still too real
why you left me to feel this way

i still feel your warm breath in my ear
when you whispered the sweetest thing
why you left me to feel this way
this way

don’t you know baby
that this feeling
keeps me waiting like
like you’ll come back to me

and sometimes in my dreams
i see you’re smiling
but when i wake up
it’s just disappeared

 

now, you have gone so far away
but your presence is still too real
why you left me to feel this way.
