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

vocal this song makes me cry, every single time i hear it.
they played it during a slideshow at my school for the katrina victims. 3 great song.
This song very obviously vocalizes a relationship that is not going to work out for the time being. The words "anywhere but here" very clearly tells us that if the circumstances were different, the two would be together. It's tragic and melodious. It's a beautiful song that tears at your soul because the melody is so beautiful, but the lyrics are an juxtaposition to the beauty.

vocal i love this song - it's one of my all time favourites, really pulls at my heartstrings!
the whole album, Final Straw is amazing, but this is a song i can really relate to.
Gary's voice is beautiful, and Run is sung in a way which is both delicate and powerful - this song is perfect.

vocal I think it's the story of a young couple who have lived and loved together for a while, and who have both grown beyond each other. It represents that point in a relationship where to stay together will cause it to go stale, and to seperate will cause growth, painful growth.

vocal I really love this songs. Its one that you just lie and listen to his voice. Maybe even pretend you know the words and what its about. Very relaxing, anyway.

vocal I guess If you like this... you'd like Kent... Reminds me of a very loved friend... who made me hear girly songs, hehe... I appreciate it now.
I love this song but it sounds sad to me. I think towards the end he says things that might have actually happened to him in real life. Dunno if it's actually true though.

vocal this is probably one of my favorite songs. i dont understand why they say light up so much. that sort of bothers me. but they still rock. its sorta like a breakup but they guy will be there no matter what. his voice is yet again AMAZING and they rock on that guitar. gosh his voice just makes me melt. and another thing is why cant he say "here" lol he says it like he can't talk right. i know there british and all but he says here fine in the rest of the songs lol. i just noticed that. but i really do love this song!!
I really like this song. But it's so sad, and it affects me so much. I just wanna cry everytime I listen to it. So I've been avoiding the song for a while..but I love it

vocal I definetly think this song is about long distance relationships. The guy's voice in this song melts my heart!!! I can't go through any cds that I own with this song on it and skip it I just love this song wayyy tooo much!!!
Ok... so... as a pretty big Snow Patrol fan, I read that they wrote this song as a song about abortion... not long-distance lovers or lovers saying goodbye... and sure it can be interpreted however you think it fits, but I'm pretty sure they intended it to be about abortion.
