It's been a while since the two of us talked
About a week since the day that you walked
Knowing things would never be the same
With your empty heart and mine full of pain
So explain to me, how it came to this
Let's take it back to the night we kissed
It was Dublin city on a Friday night
With vodkas and coke, I was Guinness all night
We were sitting with our backs against the world
Saying things that we thought but never heard
Who would have thought it would end up like this?
But everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on
Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong
Before the worst
Before we met
Before our hearts decided it's time to love again
Before today
Before too long
Let's try and take it back before it all went wrong
There was a time that we'd stay up all night
Best friends, yeah, talking til the daylight
Took the joys alongside the pain
With not much to lose but so much to gain
Are you hearing me? 'Cause I don't wanna miss
That you would drift on memory bliss
It was Grafton street, on a rainy night
I was down on one knee and you were mine for life
We were thinking we would never be apart
With your name tattooed across my heart
Who would have thought it would end up like this?
But everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on
Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong
Before the worst
Before we met
Before our hearts decided it's time to love again
Before today
Before too long
Let's try and take it back before it all went wrong
If these clouds don't clear
Then we'll rise above it, we'll rise above it
Heaven's gate is so near, come walk me through
Just like we used to, just like we used to, yeah
Let's take it back before it all went wrong
Before the worst
Before we met
Before our hearts decided it's time to love again
Before today
Before too long
About a week since the day that you walked

Gunner-chica. They are a breath of fresh air! When I heard We Cry and The Man Who Can't Be Moved, I thought catchy songs, I'll give the album a go. I was just blown away when I heard the other tracks on the album. This band for me are like old school Coldplay, with not so 'lullaby, put me to sleep' songs! This band have the most AMAZING lyrics, and they're Irish which is always a plus with me!
I agree with you vintage, THE best lyrics in this song are: "Let’s take it back to the night we kissed It was Dublin city on a Friday night You were vodkas and coke, I was guinness all night"
That for me explains how we look back on either current or past relationships, on the day(s) we first met. Those lines are completely wistful! I both love and hate that feeling at the same time!
I don't know when this band is going to get old for me, my iPod shows that I've listened to some tracks at least 100 times! I can't say anymore really!
