The Planets Bend Between Us

Snow Patrol - The Planets Bend Between Us

The winters mar the Earth

It’s floor was frozen glass

You slip into my arms

And you quickly correct yourself

Your freezing speech bubbles

Seem to hold your words aloft

I want the smoky clouds of laughter

To swim about me forever more

I will race you to the waterside

And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud

So they could hear it in America

It’s all for you

The shells crack under our shoes

Like punctuation points

The planets bend between us

A hundred million suns and stars

The sea filled in this silence

Before you sank those words

And now even in the darkness

I can see how happy you are

I will race you to the waterside

And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud

So they could hear it in a America

It’s all for you

It’s all for you (x5)
