Life and Death Lyrics

Cover art for Life and Death lyrics by Snow Patrol

I feel this song is about new relationships, how the world feels suddenly alive, but also about feeling insecure in them, and the breakup that usually follows. How internal fears can get in the way of something that could be good and ruin everything.

"Let's get, get out of the way of us"

It just happened to me and I miss him dearly.

"Don't want to be this far Don't want to be so far from you"

I intentionally left the door open though... so who knows where it might end?

"Nowhere don't know how it ends For both of us But why would you need to know the end, my dear? So don't crash into everything To make your point Let's get, get out of the way of us"

I made my point but I wish I didn't crash into everything like I did, getting in the way of us.
