And I don't know where to look My words just break and melt

Artist- Snow Patrol
Song of the day- Make this go on forever

I've been listening to a lot of Snow Patrol lately, cuz well they are just so gosh darn good and it's like an emotional hay day listening to their albums. But today's song and this video made me sad I've never seen them live. To see the last 20seconds of this already incredible song live would be an experience in itself. There's something about being totally exposed and open and the ability to so artistically pour your heart out to an arena of strangers that is terrifyingly courageous and lovely. The entire orchestration of the song like a rising heartbeat as the heart breaks in this sea of memories, every note and beat fits with the emotion he is expressing, hmm that's probably the gosh darn goodness that makes the band so great to listen to. So here's to emotional hay days and the songs that drive us to / get us through them.



Please don't let this turn into something it's not
I can only give you everything I've got
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
But I still love you more than anyone else could

All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight
Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right
This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong

The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love

We have got through so much worse than this before
What's so different this time that you can't ignore
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes

The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love

The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love

And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness [x2]

And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness [x2]
