The Lightning Strike Lyrics - A Hundred Million Suns - Snow Patrol

What if this storm ends? 

And I don't see you 

As you are now 

Ever again 

The perfect halo 

Of gold hair and lightning 

Sets you off against 

The planet's last dance 

Just for a minute 

The silver forked sky 

Lit you up like a star 

That I will follow 

Now it's found us 

Like I have found you 

I don't want to run 

Just overwhelm me

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

What if this storm ends? 

And leaves us nothing 

Except a memory 

A distant echo 

I want pinned down 

I want unsettled 

Rattle cage after cage 

Until my blood boils 

I want to see you 

As you are now 

Every single day 

That I am living 

Painted in flames 

All peeling thunder 

Be the lightning in me 

That strikes relentless 

What if this storm ends? 

And I don't see you 

As you are now 

Ever again 

The perfect halo 

Of gold hair and lightning 

Sets you off against 

The planet's last dance 

Just for a minute 

The silver forked sky 

Lit you up like a star 

That I will follow 

Now it's found us 

Like I have found you 

I don't want to run 

Just overwhelm me 

From here the caravans are kids toys 

And I can hold them all in my palm 

I watch the sea creep round the corner 

It connects the dots from here to you 

The sunlight burning through the loose flags 

Painted high on white church walls 

I chase my blood from brain to thumped heart 

Until I'm out of breath for trying 

Worry not everything is sound 

This is the safest place you've found 

The only noise beating out is ours 

Lacing our tea from honey jars 

These accidents of faith and nature 

They tend to stick in the spokes of you 

But every now and then the trend bucks 

And you're repaired by more than glue 

Worry not everything is sound 

This is the safest place you've found 

The only noise beating out is ours 

Lacing our tea from honey jars 

Why don't you rest your fragile bones 

A minute ago you looked alone 

Stop waving your arms you're safe and dry 

Breathe in and drink up the winter sky 

Slowly the day breaks apart in our hands 

And soft hallelujahs flow in from the church 

The one on the corner you said frightened you 

It was too dark and too large to find your soul in 

Something was bound to go right sometime today 

All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us 

It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained 

It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing 

That we could see for miles and miles 

And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth 

When you held onto me like I was your little life raft 

Please know that you were mine as well 

Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears 

And spread out into shapes like 

Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood 

As motionless cars rust on driveways and curbs 

You take off your raincoat and stretch out your arms 

We both laugh out loud and surrender to it 

The sheer force of sky and the cold magnet Earth 

Something was bound to go right sometime today 

All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us 

It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained 

It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing 

That we could see for miles and miles 

And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth 

When you held onto me like I was your little life raft 

Please know that you were mine as well 

Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears 

And spread out into shapes like 

Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood
