I choked back tears today because I canâ??t begin to say how much you've shaped this boy,
these last ten years or more.
My friends we've seen it all, triumphs to drunken falls and our bones are broken still,
but our hearts are joined until,
time slips its tired hand into our tired hands we've years 'til that day
and so much more to say.
You give the strength to me, a strength I never had, I was a mess you see,
I'd lost the plot so bad, you dragged me up and out,
out of the darkest place, there's not a single doubt when I can see your faces.
My friends we've seen it all, when it made no sense at all,
you dare to light my path and found the beauty in the aftermath.
Let me hold you up like you held me up, it's too long to never say this,
you must know I've always thought,
You give the strength to me, a strength I never had,
I was a mess you see, I'd lost the plot so bad,
you dragged me up and out, out of the darkest place,
there's not a single doubt when I can see your faces.
You give the strength to me, a strength I never had,
I was a mess you see, I'd lost the plot so bad,
you dragged me up and out, out of the darkest place,
there's not a single doubt when I can see your faces.
these last ten years or more.
My friends we've seen it all, triumphs to drunken falls and our bones are broken still,
but our hearts are joined until,
time slips its tired hand into our tired hands we've years 'til that day
and so much more to say.
You give the strength to me, a strength I never had, I was a mess you see,
I'd lost the plot so bad, you dragged me up and out,
out of the darkest place, there's not a single doubt when I can see your faces.
My friends we've seen it all, when it made no sense at all,

Let me hold you up like you held me up, it's too long to never say this,

You give the strength to me, a strength I never had,
I was a mess you see, I'd lost the plot so bad,
you dragged me up and out, out of the darkest place,

You give the strength to me, a strength I never had,
I was a mess you see, I'd lost the plot so bad,
you dragged me up and out, out of the darkest place,
there's not a single doubt when I can see your faces.

However when i attended their concert in the Waterfront Hall in Belfast, Gary Lightbody explained that this song summed up the "last 10 years or more" with his band members, as a sort of tribute to the good times they have had together.
My friends weve seen it all
When it made no sense at all
You dare to light my path
And found the beauty in the aftermath -- shows how much they mean to each other
But as with all Snow Patrol songs, if you interpret this song different, make it your own and not what others say, as songs such as this are designed to be personal to each individual
this is what we all want to find... someone who will always bring strength and light into our lives! i love this band and how they make such powerful and meaningful love songs <33
