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 hats have failed, now it's time for me to have my turn
Kiss me, kiss me, life is far too short to scream and shout

Flashed up in my wildest dreams, like red blood streams, stretch 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.

Send your lifeboats out for me,
Send your lifeboat out [x4]

    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
    Sleeping 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
    Send your lifeboats out for me
    Send your lifeboat out
    Send your lifeboats out for me
    Send your lifeboat out
    Send your lifeboats out for me
    Send your lifeboat out

    @polishpunk911 the album cover goes perfect with most of the songs - a sort of summery, free-in-the-wind feeling - know what I mean?
