  • The Lightning Strike

    Snow Patrol

    (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

    (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
