Lyrics for If I'd Found The Right Words To Say as interpreted by dwizhaffa

If I'd Found The Right Words To Say Lyrics
right about now if i'd found the right words to say
i'd tell you you're safe and take hold of your hand
i'll be there by your side for the rest of your life
our bodies could fall off the end of the world

something told me we'd be happy forever
i don't see how this could change any of that
i will follow your ghost as it climbs up the rock-face
and lie with you on the grass above

and i'd like to change all this
and i'd like to wake up from this
by your side

how did we ever survive for this length of time
living with only one care in the world
but the light that shines from her whenever she's happy
is worth every minute that we've saved ourselves

maybe there's a hope in just one final second
a flash of her love as she waves us goodbye
don't torture yourself with what we might have given
we did everything that we could ever do

and i'd like to change all this
and i'd like to wake up from this
by your side

this reminds me of a situation where it's cold and something bads about to happen and then it's as bad as you anticipated. or walking somewhere and not knowing where you're going, just being lost and not caring.

ugh i hate (love) when songs relate to me sooo much.
i just moved away to school, and the boy i was dating broke up with me due to "distances"... i keeep thinking there was something i could have said to him to make him stay and try for just a little while longer... something so that i could wake up with him by my side again.
"and i'd like to change all this
and i'd like to wake up from this
by your side"

oh welllllllll.

It only makes sense that this song is about maybe his really good friend,lover, someone special that is sick and is about to die of something fatal. You can this throughout the whole song.
"I will follow your ghost as it climbs up the rock-face
and lie with you on the grass above." What if the grass above means lying above her grave.
"maybe there's a hope in just one final second
a flash of her love as she waves us goodbye
don't torture yourself with what we might have given
we did everything that we could ever do" - By this time in the song she's died and they cant help but remember her... and there not going to toture themselves by thinking of all the things they COULDNT do to help her. He just wants to wake from all of this and look beside himself and see her again....
That what I think it means.

rennamix has got it spot on
i think maybe she died by falling off a rockface though

I was thinking about the rockface verse... and its possible that rockface means simply her tomb stone.

depression? there's an interview with gary lightbody [vocals] in the april issue of Q magazine, and he talks about sadness and that, so i think maybe he has a lover, or a person really close to him that has depression, but he cares about her so much he's gonna be there for her for the rest of their lives. but she has turned into a "ghost" of her former self, and she's only happy for a little while, but to him that's worth everything...

I read the interview too.
Gary's story is that he liked a girl, but mucked it up by cheating on her, and now he wants her back.
All is work is about her ((morbid or what?))

Only Snow Patrol Song I dont like. Too morbid, too literal, too dreary. Like they should sing it in a church somewhere. I wanna learn to like it though. I cant be all bad...it is Snow Patrol aftr all
