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 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
