Snow Patrol – Same Lyrics 13 years ago
My interpretation is that it's about a car crash and the aftermath - I know it's wrong, but it's what came to me.
---
His lover/wife in the coffin in their house before the funeral
***
Maybe somewhere else
Will not be half as cold as me
(The cold, hollow feeling of someone you love dying)
The curtains drawn the winter sun
Makes patterns on your face
It looks like some kaleidoscopic breathing exercise
(Him and her are alone, and he's looking at her one last time, trying not to cry)

It's the same
(She's still dead, no matter what he does)

Baby won't you breathe
***
Flashback to right after the cars stop moving
***
Hold me in your freezing arms before we have to go
I wince a little but it's not because I know the truth
(They're both very near death)
The windshield of your little car is frosted through the glass
(Frosted, as in cracked or smashed)
The clear heart of air appears as we shiver on the seats
(shivering from shock, or cold?)

It's the same

Treat it as a test
Baby wont you breathe
(Encouragement to get her to pull through)
It's the same
