We Can Run Away Now They're All Dead And Gone
Escape the Shadows: Unveiling the Depths of Desire in Snow Patrol's Anthem
Lyrics
One step too far
Feeling that a limit has been exceeded
Is not far enough away from here
Even a considerable distance is not sufficient
Stay close to me
Stay close and maintain physical connection
Don't relax your grip on my right hand
Emphasizing the importance of a secure hold
But you are all I really want in this life
Expressing a strong desire for someone in life
You could be the summer rain on my face
Comparing the person to a refreshing summer rain
You push a little tear into my eye lid
Inducing a tender emotional response
Don't torture yourself thinking that it must sting
Advising against unnecessary self-inflicted pain
Don't turn your head
Encouraging to avoid looking away
Pretend they're all dead and gone by now
Suggesting a mental exercise of considering others as gone
Can you feel that?
Asking for awareness of a sensation or emotion
Feels like breath on the back of my neck
Describing a sensation akin to someone breathing on the neck
But you are all I really want in this life
Reiterating a strong desire for someone in life
You could be the summer rain on my face
Continuing the metaphor of the person as summer rain
You push a little tear into my eye lid
Eliciting a delicate emotional response
Don't torture yourself thinking that it must sting
Discouraging unnecessary emotional pain or distress
