It's Beginning To Get To Me - Snow Patrol

I wanted something

That’s purer than the water

Like we were

It’s not there now

Ineloquence and anger

Are all we have

Like Saturn’s rings

An icy loop around me

Too hard to hold

Lash out first

At all the things we don’t like

Or understand

And it’s beginning to get to me

That I know more of the stars and sea

Than I do of what’s in your head

Barely touching in our cold bed

Are you beginning to get my point?

That all this fighting with aching joints

Is doing nothing but tire us out

And no one knows what this fight’s about

The answer phone

The lonely sound of your voice

Frozen in time

I only need

The compass that you gave me

To guide me on

And it’s beginning to get to me

That I know more of the stars and sea

Than I do of what’s in your head

Barely touching in our cold bed

Are you beginning to get my point?

That all this fighting with aching joints

Is doing nothing but tire us out

And no one knows what this fight’s about

It’s so thrilling but also wrong

Don’t have to prove that you are so strong

Cause I can carry you on my back

After our enemies attack

I tried to tell you before I left

But I was screaming under my breath

You are the only thing that makes sense

Just ignore all this present tense

We need to feel breathless with love

And not collapsed under its weight

I’m gasping for the air to fill

My lungs with everything I’ve lost

We need to feel breathless with love

And not collapsed under its weight

I’m gasping for the air to fill

My lungs with everything I’ve lost
