    Lyrics
    You cool your bedwarm hands down
    On the broken radiator
    When you lay them freezing on me
    I mumble can you wake me later
    But I don't really want you to stop
    And you know it so it doesn't stop you
    You run your hands from my neck
    To my chest
    Crack the shutters open wide
    I want to bathe you in the light of day
    And just watch you as the rays
    Tangle up around your face and body
    I could sit for hours
    Finding new ways to be awed each minute
    'Cause the daylight seems to want you
    Just as much as I want you
    It's been minutes it's been days
    It's been all I will remember
    Happy lost in your hair
    And the cold side of the pillow
    Your hills and valleys
    Are mapped by my intrepid fingers
    And in a naked slumber
    I dream all this again
    Crack the shutters open wide
    I want to bathe you in the light of day
    And just watch you as the rays
    Tangle up around your face and body
    I could sit for hours
    Finding new ways to be awed each minute
    'Cause the daylight seems to want you
    Just as much as I want you
    Crack the shutters open wide
    I want to bathe you in the light of day
    And just watch you as the rays
    Tangle up around your face and body
    I could sit for hours
    Finding new ways to be awed each minute
    'Cause the daylight seems to want you
    Just as much as I want you

    This song is so lyrically beautiful, it's about making love to someones soul. Exploring their body, and watching the way the light moves over them like they are completely enshrined. I think this might just be my favourite song ever.

    8 years ago, I started talking to a guy that I fell for very quick. he got me so excited about life in general and made me look forward to my future. I listened to this song on repeat for 3 weeks straight because it was the only song that could explain how happy I was and how in love with him I was in such a short amount of time. we broke up 3 months ago. I lost the love of my life, but this song will always remind me of the times we shared together. thank you for this song.

    This song is a very big part of my childhood. I always listened to Snow Patrol when I was young. Now I'm nearly 17 years old and I'm still listening to it. There are so many memories in my mind from this time when I came to school 11 years ago. Today it made me cry. Thank you to Snow Patrol for giving me these emotions. I'm so happy now.

    This is one of those songs you hear as a child on a tv show and think nothing of it, but then you grow up and experience love and loss... then it hits differently. Hearing this song again from a new perspective brought tears to my eyes and took my breath away. It’s so romantic.

This has always been my favourite song of this band by far. I’m so glad I stumbled upon it! The lyrics are mesmerising! This song is exactly what it’s like to feel in love. To everyone who gets the chance to experience feelings like these: you’re very lucky.

    @manuelgpgarcia9059 3 роки тому +6

    You cool your bed-warm hands down
    On the broken radiator
    And when you lay them freezing on me
    I mumble, "Can you wake me later?"
    But I don't really want you to stop
    And you know it so it doesn't stop you
    And run your hands from my neck to my chest
    Crack the shutters open wide
    I wanna bathe you in the light of day
    And just watch you as the rays
    Tangle up around your face and body
    I could sit for hours
    Finding new ways to be awed each minute
    'Cause the daylight seems to want you
    Just as much as I want you
    It's been minutes, it's been days
    It's been all I will remember
    Happy lost in your hair
    And the cold side of the pillow
    Your hills and valleys
    Are mapped by my intrepid fingers
    And in a naked slumber
    I dream all this again
    Crack the shutters open wide
    I wanna bathe you in the light of day
    And just watch you as the rays
    Tangle up around your face and body
    I could sit for hours
    Finding new ways to be awed each minute
    'Cause the daylight seems to want you
    Just as much as I want you
    Crack the shutters open wide
    I wanna bathe you in the light of day
    And just watch you as the rays
    Tangle up around your face and body
    I could sit for hours
    Finding new ways to be awed each minute
    'Cause the daylight seems to want you
    Just as much as I want you

      Dang I always thought the lyrics were "I could sit for hours finding new ways to be odd each minute" I am bummed to years later realize its "awed" odd I think is alot more beautifully mystical.

      I agree. This is the most under rated band ever and deserves more recognition! I'm their fan from India...

    this song is utterly beautiful, and I usually feel like crying when I hear it. The music video was done well too, as was the video for chocolate. Snow Patrol is simply amazing, and I adore their music.
