Snow Patrol - Lifeboats lyrics

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 heads have failed now it's time
For me to have my turn kiss me kiss me
Life is way too short to scream and shout

Flashed up in my wildest dreams
The dark red blood streams
Stretching out like vast cracked ice
The veins of you the veins of
Me like great 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 it's 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 way that showed you really cared

Flashed up in my wildest dreams
The dark red blood streams
Stretching out like vast cracked ice
The veins of you the veins of
Me like great 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 it's own

Send your lifeboats out for me
Send your lifeboat out
