歌詞

Snow Patrol - The Lightning Strike

What if this storm ends?

And I don't see you

As you are now

Ever again

The perfekt 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

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

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

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
