Lyrics Life On Earth - Snow Patrol

Life On Earth

The first snow
The first winter of my life
I was told it was the height of me.
The first dance
Well, the first one that counted.
Felt like my blood was built from crackling lights.
All this ancient wildness
That we don't understand
The first sound of a heartbeat
To riots roaring on.
This is not love you've had before.
This is something else.
This is something else.
This is not the same as other days.
This is something else.
This is something else.
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
The first light
The first light on the silent shore.
Just the ships that anchor me and you.
The way home
This is always the way home.
So you can rip that map to shreds, my dear.
But all we ever wanted
See miles and miles from here
In the first days in a strange new land
We could be sailors.
This is not love you've had before.
This is something else.
This is something else.
This is not the same as other days.
This is something else.
This is something else.
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard.
This is life on earth.
It's just life on earth.
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me.
This is life on earth.
It's just life on earth.
