Snow Patrol - A Hundred Million Suns (2008) by Snow Patrol (보컬) on maniadb.com

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 in sight,
And I knew the beat cause it marched your own beat.
I still remember that from our chest to chest then feet to feet.
The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush,
Of oven airplanes and of distant car points.

A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry,
A pulse, you're 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, the cracks and the barks like primal music.

I set I knew the beat cause it marched your own beat.
It's become my engine my own source of heat.
I see between us oh the amplifies the sound waves,
And every hum and echo in crash paints my cave.

A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry,
A pulse, you're 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, the cracks and the barks like primal music.

La la la la la, la la la la la.
La la la la la, la la la la la.
La la la la la, la la la la la.

A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry,
A pulse, you're 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, the cracks and the barks like primal music.

You cool your bed-warm hands down
On the broken radiator,
And when you laid them freezin' on me,
A mumble can you wake me later.
But I don't really want you to stop,
And you know it so it doesn't stop you,
And runs you hands from my neck to my chest.

Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day,
And just watch you as the rays tangle up around you face and body.
I could sit for hours finding new ways to be odd each minute,
Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you.

It's been minutes it's been days.
It's been all I will remember,
Happy lost in your hair
And the cold side of the pillow.
Your hills and valleys,
Are mapped by my intrepid fingers;
And in a naked slumber, I dream of this again.

Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day,
And just watch you as the rays tangle up around you face and body.
I could sit for hours finding new ways to be odd each minute,
Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you.

Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day,
And just watch you as the rays tangle up around you face and body.

Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you.

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa

God knows you put your life in two a times
And it's both cradled you and crushed
But now it's time to make your own demands
Whoa

All these years later and it's killing me
Your broken records in words
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
Whoa

No need to put your words into my mouth
Don't need convincing at all
I love the place where I have no doubts
Whoa

It's a mess, it's a start
It's a full work of art
You're a save, you're a call
Every crack, every wall
Make a sign, make a fight
Get your head, it's not right
We can sing, 'til you drop
'Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth like a right
And spits me out after base
But we're all currents for it
We know what's wrong and it's right
For every sign that's been hit
Take back the city tonight

Tell me you never wanted more than this
And I will stop talking now
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss
Whoa

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa

It's a mess, it's a start
It's a full work of art
You're a save, you're a call
Every crack, every wall
Make a sign, make a fight
Get your head, it's not right
We can sing, 'til you drop
'Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth like a right
And spits me out after base
But we're all currents for it
We know what's wrong and it's right
For every sign that's been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth like a right
And spits me out after base
But we're all currents for it
We know what's wrong and it's right
For every sign that's been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
I love this city tonight
I love this city always

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 its 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 its own

Send your lifeboats out for me
Send your lifeboat out

Tell me that you want to dance I want to feel your pulse on mine Just treat me like a stolen glance To yourself A dark shape on a golden floor A sleeping planet with a molten core From above we'd cut a slow eight shape And much more I'm a peasant in your princess arms Penniless with only charm As we're leveled by the low, hot lights And disarmed I'm not afraid of anything even time It'll eke away at everything but we'll be fine I'm folded in the bread you made You're cold until my body bathes You in the heat I kept aside All these days I'm not afraid of anything even time It'll eke away at everything but we'll be fine

The yellowed page of the books
and books I'd forgotten that I had
These paperbacks they know their age
they smell of weight and time that's resting warm
The opened box beside the endless box parade
that haunts my house
Is fit to split with photographs that tell
the wanderlust of years smashed on to years

When all this actual life played out
Where the hell on Earth was I?
I rack my brains but it won't come

Through water damaged bloodshot eyes
The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies
All seem to mingle into one

I read your name under words in your elegant hand you probably don't mean now
I fold the letter and think of a million and one things that I could have done different

When all this actual life played out
Where the hell on Earth was I?
I rack my brains but it won't come

Through water damaged bloodshot eyes
The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies
All seem to mingle into one

One gigantic fairy tale
Of friends I haven't seen in years
Drinking 'til the daylight hurts

Just close your eyes

And count to five

Let;s craft the only thing we know into surprise



Set down your glass

I painted this

To look like you and me forever as we're now



And I'm shaken then I'm still

When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills

Like to tell you all I want is now



You sing and I'm killed

I'm just not the same

As I was a year ago and each minute since then



My jumper tears

As we take it off

And you say you'll saw me good as new and I know you will



And I'm shaken then I'm still

When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills

Like to tell you all I want is now



And I'm shaken then I'm still

When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills

Like to tell you all I want is now

The winters mar the Earth
Its floor was frozen glass
You slip into my arms
And you quickly correct yourself
Your freezing speech bubbles
Seem to hold your words aloft
I want the smoky clouds of laughter
To swim about me forever more

I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in America
It's all for you

The shells crack under our shoes
Like punctuation points
The planets bend between us
A hundred million suns and stars
The sea filled in this silence
Before you sank those words
And now even in the darkness
I can see how happy you are

I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in a America
It's all for you

It's all for you

Only the faintest
Only the faintest glance
buries you, buries me

So fire your engine
See if I give a damn,
we'll be dust instantly

Caught in a jet stream
Caught in a gorgeous howl
all the world lost in noise

Use me forever
Use me for rocket fuel,
I'll be air, I'll be fire

You say you love me like the silence of the turning earth
You say you love me like the endless roar of modern life
You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
You say you love me like the past, the now, the coming years

What will you remember?
What will you think of me
after I say goodbye?

Returning in bodies
Plants and the sand you'll squeeze
in between shoeless feet

I know I love you like the silvered gold of dying days
I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life
I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin
I know I love you like the million times I never said

I know you love me like the silence of the turning earth
I know you love me like the endless roar of modern life
I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
I know you love me like the past, the now, the coming years

A little after twelve
The function suite was full
Of people I had never seen before
Ripped up ticket stubs
Confettied on the floor
It dawned on me I'd seen it all before

Cool your beans my son
You look a fucking mess
No one's getting out of here tonight
Hit that button there
The one that just says wrong
And we'll lose our minds to all our favorite songs

Throw forward to later
You look light on your feet
When you whirled in the room
I was nailed to my seat
I'm like a prisoner
Getting ready to talk
I feel the blood in my hands
And the threat in your walk

And suddenly
It lifts the roof off the place
It puts a vault in my step
And a grin on my face
It can't contain me
But you'll need an army
To get me back in my box
Or snap the branches off me

A little after four
The function suite is dead
And I am just a ripped up ticket stub
But here's a helping hand
A voice that's far too close
And I am up and on my broken limbs

Throw forward to later
You look light on your feet
When you whirled in the room
I was nailed to my seat
I'm like a prisoner
Getting ready to talk
I feel the blood in my hands
And the threat in your walk

And suddenly
It lifts the roof off the place
It puts a vault in my step
And a grin on my face
It can't contain me
But you'll need an army
To get me back in my box
Or snap the branches off me

(I) What If This Storm Ends?

What if this storm ends?
And I don't see you
As you are now
Ever again

The perfect 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

What if this storm ends?
And I don't see you
As you are now
Ever again

The perfect 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


(II) The Sunlight Through The Flags

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


(III) Daybreak

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
