Snow Patrol - If There’s a Rocket Tie Me to It lyrics

Two weeks later 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 'cause
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 of 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
