Just Say Yes Lyrics
Straightforward and relatable song. It might be taken very literally as a marriage proposal, but looking from a different angle, it could be about deciding whether or not to even fall in love.
For somebody who has been hurt, it's very hard to yield to love at all. There's so much to hold you back from falling again, from opening yourself to somebody, from just saying yes because then you become very vulnerable and intimate.
But this guy, he's so in love with the girl. He is assuring her that it will be worth it, whatever pain will inevitably come. It's a promise that his love is real, that she should just throw away her precautions and inhibitions, all the things she guards herself with, protects her heart with. It's frustrating to him, because he just wants her so much.
Snow Patrol is so good at sensual imagery. "Im aching and I know you are too/ For the touch of your warm skin/ As I breathe you in." Often it is in moments of physical closeness that we surrender our hearts.
It's very hard to find somebody who will work so hard to beat down those walls. That's what makes the song so sweet.
This is my favorite so far of Snow Patrol's. It's everything that I feel for someone-but the roles aree kinda reversed...
Because sometimes the answer is better if it is "no".
It's a beautiful song isn't it? :)

I just adore this song, it's so lovely. The video was amazing as well.
I don't think its a marriage proposal. "just for the touch of your warm skin"- he just wants to be close to her, be in a relationship with her, have her hand to hold. I could be wrong, but that's what I get. Lovely song.

They'll release this on the compilation I think. Gary wrote this, and Nicole Scherzinger is using it for her debut solo album, buts its currently shelved. Glad they recorded themselves!
As for the lyrics, its probably about two lovers who keep fighting and drifting apart, and Gary is trying to woo her back using all the Gary-isms.
Quite a bit like "Chasing Cars" I'd say, it must've recorded in that era, cuz her album was initially due in 2007.
