Life On Earth - Snow Patrol

The first snow

The first winter of my life

I was told it was the height of me.

The first dance

Well, the first one that counted.

Felt like my blood was built from crackling lights.

All this ancient wildness

That we don't understand

The first sound of a heartbeat

To riots roaring on.

This is not love you've had before.

This is something else.

This is something else.

This is not the same as other days.

This is something else.

This is something else.

Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard

This is life on earth

It's just life on earth

It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me

This is life on earth

It's just life on earth

The first light

The first light on the silent shore.

Just the ships that anchor me and you.

The way home

This is always the way home.

So you can rip that map to shreds, my dear.

But all we ever wanted

See miles and miles from here

In the first days in a strange new land

We could be sailors.

This is not love you've had before.

This is something else.

This is something else.

This is not the same as other days.

This is something else.

This is something else.

Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard.

This is life on earth.

It's just life on earth.

It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me.

This is life on earth.

It's just life on earth.
