I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it any where
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think i might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want's to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if its just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Great song.. personally I think it has to do with a couple having to break up because of an upcoming distance barrier - i.e. either the guy or the girl is moving too far away, and they know it can't work out. The guy says he will always be right beside her even though she can't hear his voice (in other words, he won't be with her physically, but he'll always be in her heart).
That's the only way I saw it considering I was in that situation recently.
Either way, it involves a break-up. Great song nonetheless.

vocal i read a quote from Gary Lightbody(frontman) saying "A lot of people maybe think it’s quite a sad song and it’s meant to be full of hope and when people appreciate it as much as that it really brings home the actual meaning of it, and it really touched me today how much they got into it.” anyway i hope that helps

love this song, especially this part:
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done.
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

vocal ok well i heard this song a few times. i think its a really nice song, tho it is hard to figure out wat its about. i like the film clip too ^_^
this song reminds me (for some reason) of wen my dog died, i think it musta been on tv that day =[
its such a nice song. if i could get this album i would asap. but havent seen it anywhere =| shame!
i definately dont think this song has anything to do with the iraq war it seems to be about dealing with being apart from some1 (for wateva reason) who u love more than anything and that no matter where you are quote:
"ill be right beside you dear"
the love will live and thrive.
totally unrelated to any war DUUHHH
