And so I put this one song on repeat. Music helps fill the emptiness I feel sometimes. God bless Snow patrol.
"I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here 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 placesI 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 noisesGhosts with just voicesYour words in my memory
Are like music to me
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
After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelidsAnd dreaming, pick up fromThe last place we left offYour soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold groundAnd I, I pray that something picks me upAnd sets me down in your warm arms
And 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."
And no, it's not the lyrics I love, it's the song. <3
I feel a little better already :).
