A Youth Written In Fire Lyrics - Snow Patrol

[Verse 1] 

Remember the first time we got high 

We felt like the rabid lion's roar 

We were elastic and then we were healed 

Healed in the blinking of an eye 

And then when the dawn cracked over us 

The day wouldn't hit us hard at all 

We could ride the morning into night again 

We knew the days were there to waste 

[Pre-Chorus] 

But these days 

That light hit so heavy 

And those days 

Feel like another life

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

[Chorus] 

This isn't like the first time anymore 

And I've been chasing after all 

Digging for the lost memories 

Of a youth written in fire 

You always said it's not too late for me 

I sure am listening to you now 

Leaving me so I can trust myself 

'Cause there's a first time for that too 

[Verse 2] 

Remember the first time that we kissed 

It felt like a planet forming 

But we were just novices at this 

It felt like an ancient wisdom 

There was lightning then and those 

Songs were [?] true 

No wonder I still think so much about you 

[Pre-Chorus] 

But these days 

My heart feels too heavy 

And those days 

Are someone else's life 

[Chorus] 

This isn't like the first time anymore 

And I've been chasing after all 

Digging for the lost memories 

Of a youth written in fire 

You always said it's not too late for me 

I sure am listening to you now 

Leaving me so I can trust myself 

'Cause there's a first time for that too
