Chasing Cars
Snow Patrol Lyrics
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Truth Shall Prevail
03:10 "These things will never change for us at all"
This shattered me.
Been depressed for ages now. Forgotten what it feels like to be just normal (not happy but just not depressed)
I pray with my whole heart every night to go back (even if it is for a few seconds) to a time when I felt happy or even neutral.
It's been nearly 13 years since I last saw her.
More than 11 years since I last spoke to her.
Nowhere to be found online.
No way to reach out to her.
Now I don't know what she looks like, what she sounds like.
Hell, I don't even know if we're in the same country.
2 years after I last saw her, all I wanted is to meet her, talk to her, see her face, hear her voice, see and hear her laugh
3 years later, forget all that, a phone call or a photo will do
4 years later, seeing her from a distance with her face covered will do, cause her aura is so powerful
5 years later, Forget the face, forget the voice, forget the aura. I'll be happy just to see her name written anywhere
Now I just talk to her in word documents (which she'll probably never read), tell her when I dream about her, write letters to her and leave pathetic comments like this when songs like this are played.
Hope I get to see her once and I know that'll get me through another decade or even my entire life.

When I had breast cancer I decided if I didn’t make it I wanted this song played at my funeral. Instead 13 years later it was the first dance at my wedding. Will always be one of my favourites. Thank you Mr Lightbody!

Congratulations, Janice! I heard this all night before my liver surgery.

We don’t search for old songs…
we search for old memories.

One of the best youtube comment I have ever seen
GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
I was here looking for a dear friend lost in the confusion and heat of a lost summer . She isn’t here anymore though , I prefer listening to new songs as much as possible , they carry the hope and infinite potential of our futures
GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
Very true my friend , faces smiling enduring moments our hearts reach across forever, times of joy sorrow hope and loss songs carry our feelings and delves into pasts that were and or could have been . Music is a great way of healing and true healing centred in love is like music to our eternal souls in fragmented reflections of the whole
