Tales and traumas of a 'Teenage Drama Queen'

I've had their album "Final Straw" for a couple years now, and while I've listened to it, I've never heard it. The same goes for their recent album "Eyes Open". But, just before the Scotland trip Alex and I were listening to Kerrang! (the local rock radio station) and they played "Chasing Cars". I immediately fell in love with the lyrics. Wanting to see them on paper and remembering I had the album hidden somewhere at the bottom of my CD collection, I had a rummage for it. Eventually I emerged, covered in dust, but triumphant. We sat together, and decided that this was 'our song'.

It's just so beautiful.

Chasing Cars
Snow Patrol

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?


Pretty, don't you think?
