”Set the Fire to the Third Bar”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol (feat. Martha Wainwright)

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms and state lines
The distance from A to where you’d B
It’s only finger lengths that I see
I touch the place
Where I’d find your face
My fingers in creases
Of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I’ve found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground and I
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have traveled so far
We’d set the fire to the third bar
We’d share each other like an island
Until exhausted close our eyelids
And dreaming pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can’t keep in
And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground and I
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground and I
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

”It’s Beginning to Get to Me”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

I want something
That’s purer than the water
Like we were
It’s not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we have
Like Saturn’s rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold
Lash out first
At all the things we don’t like
Or understand
And It’s Beginning To Get To Me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what’s in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
They’re always fighting with aching joints
It’s doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight’s about
The answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in time
I only need
The compass that you gave me
To guide me on
And It’s Beginning To Get To Me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what’s in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
They’re always fighting with aching joints
It’s doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight’s about
It’s so thrilling but also wrong
Don’t have to prove that you are so strong
Cos I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack
I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I’m gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I’ve lost
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I’m gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I’ve lost

”Hands Open”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

It’s hard to argue when
You won’t stop making sense
But my tongue still misbehaves
And it keeps digging my own grave
With my hands open
And my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens
Why would I sabotage
The best thing that I have?
Well, it makes it easier to know
Exactly what I want
With my hands open
And my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens
It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it’s right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it’s right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
Put Sufjan Stevens on
And we’ll play your favourite song
‘Chicago’ bursts to life
And your sweet smile remembers you
My hands open
And my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens
It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it’s right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it’s right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it’s right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it’s right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy

„We Can Run Away Now They’re All Dead And Gone”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

One step too far
Is not far enough away from here

Stay close to me
Don’t relax your grip on my right hand

But you are all I really want in this life
You could be the summer rain on my face
You push a little tear into my eye lid
Don’t torture yourself thinking that it must sting

Don’t turn your head
Pretend they’re all dead and gone by now

Can you feel that?
Feels like breath on the back of my neck

But you are all I really want in this life
You could be the summer rain on my face
You push a little tear into my eye lid
Don’t torture yourself thinking that it must sting

„Tiny Little Fractures”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

Is there a place I can go?
Is there a way to get me there?
If I’ve forgotten what to say
It’s because all words are dust
If this is really what you think
How come you won’t look me in the eye?
All this crying in your sleep
As I lie awake beside

Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah

Is there a T-shirt I can wear?
‘Cause I’m soaking
Look at me
What do you mean I don’t love you?
I am standing here aren’t I?
Maybe you thought of it first
Maybe I get all the praise

Is there a place I can go?
Is there a way to get me there?
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah

„Steal”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

It’s not something, I need, to explain again, I
I won’t be caught inside this time
You can’t just leave me, having, done the hard work, when I
I don’t want anything from here

Stop your stalling and just give me more than you should
Before we’re all in the same mess I knew we would
I will not call you ‘cause I know he’ll answer the phone
There’s something stunning about the way we lie ‘til it’s gone

All I want is one more hour with you, it’s all I
Ever wanted out of this
I only did it so I, I would be near you, I have
Never done something like this

Stop your stalling and just give me more than you should
Before we’re all in the same mess I knew we would
I will not call you ‘cause I know he’ll answer the phone
There’s something stunning about the way we lie ‘til it’s gone

„Half The Fun”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

Half the fun of it is that I can’t keep up
And I lose my breath and what’s worse
Is I don’t think I’m the first

Any way you like, you can do no wrong
Please just give me five minutes dear
Let’s just pray it’s not near

Stay forever; I won’t last it
I’ll die trying
Will you suffer a little with me?
But you would never

With a second chance I’d mess it up again
But I’d do it worse than before
‘Cause I’ve learned so much more

About the way we fertilise the roses
That were bought to show us how much you care
Now it’s easier to care
Getting past this – you have to take it
I will wait here
Please believe me, just stop running
Say you’ll get help

I caught the last flight, I had to see ya
It can’t wait longer
He’s not your father, just a doctor
So lick your own wounds
