eyes open
You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played on lips 'till it's madness in my head
Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
i think snow patrol's new record is going to be on the best of 2006 top five (along with the new head automatica, but that's beside the point) it's unexplainably wonderful.
incedentally: my band is playing the deering grange hall in portland this saturday the 17th. more info at http://www.myspace.com/thespeedoffilm
i'd be delighted if you came, and i'd give you stickers.
