"Light Years" lyrics

Snow Patrol & The Saturday Songwriters Lyrics

"Light Years"

I just want my heart to beat
So when will you make your way to see me
What's your secret anyway
'Cause my light is fading on empty streets
I light a torch to catch your eye

Bright lights in time of darkness
Incandescent, uncompared
You could be two meters away from me
But it seems light years sometimes, dear
But even distant, I'm with you

The sun shines brighter now, the skies are empty
And the loudest bird songs fill us up again
We love their noise
Applause on door steps swells like Sunday church bells
The sound of seas and gravel roads
They cheer us back to earth

I know you like my hometown
And you're still cool within the fire
Watching nothing become everything
The distance from you feels so close
Safe is where you are tonight

But the sun shines brighter now, the skies are empty
And the loudest bird songs fill us up again
We love their noise
Applause on door steps swells like Sunday church bells
The sound of seas and gravel roads
They cheer us back to earth

The sun shines brighter now, the skies are empty
And the loudest bird songs fill us up again
We love their noise
Applause on door steps swells like Sunday church bells
The sound of seas and gravel roads
They cheer us back to earth
