Snow Patrol - A Youth Written In Fire

Remember the first time we got high

We felt like the rampant lion's roar

We were elastic and then we were healed

Healed in the blinking of an eye

And then when the dawn cracked over us

The day wouldn't hit us hard at all

We could ride the morning into night again

We knew the days were there to waste

But these days that light hits so heavy

And those days feel like another life

This isn't like the first time anymore

And I've been chasing that too long

Digging for the lost memories

Of a youth written in fire

You've always said it's not too late for me

Well I sure am listening to you now

Believe in me so I can trust myself

'Cause there's a first time for that too

Remember the first time that we kissed

It felt like a planet forming

Though we were just novices at this

It felt like an ancient wisdom

There was lightning then

And those songs were all proved true

No wonder I still think so much about you

But these days my heart feels too heavy

And those days are someone else's life

This isn't like the first time anymore

And I've been chasing that too long

Digging for the lost memories

Of a youth written in fire

You've always said it's not too late for me

Well I sure am listening to you now

Believe in me so I can trust myself

'Cause there's a first time for that too

Snow Patrol - Wild Horses

Ooh, you wanted it too late
You wanted it too late now
I can't keep track of all your tears
Been crying rivers way too long
Ooh, I'm tired of loneliness
But I'm way more tired of wasting time
So still you barely look alive
These shocks will do you so much good

Just keep your wits about you, don't let it end you
And summon everything you've held up in reserve
Don't fall for every single stolen glance and wink
Try to keep your heart on higher shelves for once

What are you holding back
I know you've wild horses enough inside of you
(Stop holding back)
Now's not the time to learn
Serenity, it's gone to red from blue
(Stop holding back)
I think you want this love
And I know you don't want time without it
(Stop holding back)
I know I don't know much
But I do know when to rage
(Stop holding back)

Ooh, you wanted it to work
You wanted it to work so much
But it's been broken in your hands
The minute that it found your hands
Ooh, you're trying not to blink
For once you want to see what is
Ooh, it hasn't finished you
It's only that it feels that way

Just keep your wits about you, don't let it end you
And summon everything you've held up in reserve
Don't fall for every single stolen glance and wink
Try to keep your heart on higher shelves for once

What are you holding back
I know you've wild horses enough inside of you
(Stop holding back)
Now's not the time to learn
Serenity, it's gone to red from blue
(Stop holding back)
I think you want this love
And I know you don't want time without it
(Stop holding back)
I know I don't know much
But I do know when to rage
(Stop holding back)

Snow Patrol - Heal Me

Can you heal me, baby?
I've been dancing in this fire for way too long
But I kind of like it
Oh I like it coz it's more dangerous than me
There's a siren somewhere
But I'm pretty sure it's only in my head
So tell me how'd you hear it?
Is there something supernatural in your bones?

Oh this is love like wildness coursing through you like a drug
And this is hurt like kindness breaking you with gentle hands

I call out your name, it feels like a song I know so well
And it whispers and roars like an orchestra
You call out my name like no one before, it sounds like I...
Am called to a home that I never had

Can you heal me, baby?
I've been wasted in the arms of everyone
I wasn't looking for you
But I think maybe I was and didn't know

Oh this is love like wildness coursing through you like a drug
And this is hurt like kindness breaking you with gentle hands

I call out your name, it feels like a song I know so well
It whispers and roars like an orchestra
You call out my name like no one before, it sounds like I...
Am called to a home that I never had

Snow Patrol - Empress

You're angry but you don't know how to be that yet
It seems too much went wrong and all at once
Resistance seems impossible from down this low
And surely no one else can feel like this

But on the streets
You can see them gathering
And in your heart
You know they feel like you do

Sound and pulse and volume
Hands just reaching other hands
This is almost overload
I said almost overload
Friends and foes and princes
Are all just human in the end
This is so damn simple, yeah
It's so damn simple

So standing in the steady throne of restless hope
You don't feel like an outcast anymore
And something deep inside of you has waken up
And you know that nothing's gonna be the same again

And on the streets
You can see for what seems miles
Because in your heart
You know they feel like you do

Sound and pulse and volume
Hands just reaching other hands
This is almost overload
I said almost overload
Friends and foes and princes
Are all just human in the end
This is so damn simple, yeah
It's so damn simple

Your mind won't be still
It may not again
You don't think it will
But it will, it will

Sound and pulse and volume
Hands just reaching other hands
This is so damn simple, yeah
It's so damn simple
This is so damn simple, yeah
This is so damn simple
This is so damn simple, yeah
This is so damn simple
