Snow Patrol - It Doesn’t Matter Where, Just Drive - Non-album track lyrics

You are far too fragile to exist
I didn't see the hand I'd never kiss
And I barely felt your heartbeat inside of me
The empty patter of your feet
Is too fast to see

The families all gather round
And they make some sympathetic sounds
Even though I know they're only trying
To take my mind off it
I just wanna sit alone and
Cry myself into a fit and fall asleep
I would have loved to watch you as you slept
I fill the frames of pictures that I kept
Of you leaping into action on
Some muddy football field
Or holding the attraction of the one
That makes you feel so sick

And I choose to see the life I live
It's one of triumph and of joy that gives


Made of something to hold onto
As I'm falling through myself
To the part of me that held you
On the darkest shelf inside me
