Snow Patrol - What If the Storm Ends? (w/lyrics)

What if the 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
Lifts you up like a star
That I will follow
But now it’s found us
Like I have found you
I don’t wanna run
Just overwhelm me


What if the storm ends?
It leaves us nothing
Except the memory
A distant echo
I won’t pin down
I've walked unsettled
Rattle cage after cage
Until my blood boils
I wanna see you
As you are now
Every single day
That I am living
Painted in flames
A peeling thunder
Be the lightning in me
That strikes relentless


What if the 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 planets last dance
Just for a minute
The silver-forked sky
Lifts you up like a star
That I will follow
But now it's found us
Like I have found you
I don't wanna run
Just overwhelm me


This is a love song, an intense love song that is about intimacy and more. It's one of my favorite songs by Snow Patrol. And it was always the background theme to the WIP. This is the version that I love and cherish so much, all these years, all these years of so much loss, and now, I can write about it and think about it and not fall to pieces. It's corny and perhaps silly to some, but love never dies.
