Snow Patrol - If i'd found the right words to say

Right about now if I'd found the right words to say
I'd tell you you're safe and take hold of your hand
I'll be there by your side for the rest of your life
Our bodies could fall off the end of the world

Something told me we'd be happy forever
I don't see how this could change any of that
I will follow your ghost as it climbs up the rock-face
And lie with you on the grass above

And I'd like to change all this
And I'd like to wake up from this
By your side

How did we ever survive for this length of time?
Living with only a care in the world
But the light that shines from here
Whenever she's happy is worth every minute
That we've saved ourselves

Maybe there's hope in just one final second
A flash of her love as she waves us goodbye
Don't torture yourself with what we might have given

We did everything that we could ever do

And I'd like to change all this
And I'd like to wake up from this
By your side
