    Snow Patrol – Set The Fire To The Third Bar

    I find the map and draw a straight line
    Over rivers, farms, and state lines
    The distance from ‘A’ to where you’d be
    It’s only finger-lengths that I see
    I touch the place where I’d find your face
    My finger in creases of distant dark places

    I hang my coat up in the first bar
    There is no peace that I’ve found so far
    The laughter penetrates my silence
    As drunken men find flaws in science

    Their words mostly noises
    Ghosts with just voices
    Your words in my memory
    Are like music to me

    I’m miles from where you are,
    I lay down on the cold ground
    I, I pray that something picks me up
    And sets me down in your warm arms

    After I have traveled so far
    We’d set the fire to the third bar
    We’d share each other like an island
    Until exhausted, close our eyelids
    And dreaming, pick up from
    The last place we left off
    Your soft skin is weeping
    A joy you can’t keep in

    I’m miles from where you are,
    I lay down on the cold ground
    And I, I pray that something picks me up
    and sets me down in your warm arms

    I’m miles from where you are,
    I lay down on the cold ground
    and I, I pray that something picks me up
    and sets me down in your warm arms
