The Lightning Strike: What If This Storm Ends? / The Sunlight Through the Flags / Daybreak

Lyrics

The Lightning Strike: What If This Storm Ends Intro - Snow Patrol What if this storm ends? And I don't see you As you are now Ever again Verse 1 - Snow Patrol 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 Chorus - Snow Patrol What if this storm ends? And leaves us nothing Except a memory Verse 2 - Snow Patrol 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 Outro - Snow Patrol Painted in flames All peeling thunder Be the lightning in me That strikes relentless The Sunlight Through the Flags Verse 3 - Snow Patrol 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 Chorus 2 - Snow Patrol 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 Verse 4 - Snow Patrol 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 Chorus 2 - Snow Patrol 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 Outro - Snow Patrol 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 Daybreak Verse 5 - Snow Patrol 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 Chorus 3 - Snow Patrol 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 Verse 6 - Snow Patrol 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 Verse 7 - Snow Patrol 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 Chorus 3 - Snow Patrol 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
