Lyrics
It's like we just can't help ourselves
Cause we don't know how to back down
We were called out to the streets
We were called out to the towns
How the heavens they opened up
Like arms of dazzling gold
With our rain-washed histories
Well, we do not need to be told
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye, trained on a different star
This magic, this drunken semaphore, and I
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this your time
We are listening and were not blind
This is your life, this is your time
I was called out in the dark
By a choir of beautiful cheats
And as the kids took back the parks
You and I were left with the streets
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye, trained on a different star
This magic, this drunken semaphore, and I
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this your time
We are listening and were not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time

[@Deathshack]

This is still one of the most underrated songs Snow Patrol has ever released

[@user-hz6bi8jj5s]

30 million view's... Underrated?

[@CrashBandiscoot]

@@user-hz6bi8jj5s YES

[@yomsothoth]

@@user-hz6bi8jj5s People always say it's underrated. People just love to play with words.. Haven't you heard ?

[@davidkohl73]

What a stupid comment. Absolutely nothing underrated about this band or song..

[@davidkohl73]

Do you live under a rock ??

I heard this song once in 2011 and have literally spent 3 years trying to find it.

[@LeafTreez]

Is it too early to say I get serious nostalgia from this?

[@johnlazop1789]

nooo!!!

[@guillermochaparro4310]

yes

[@mindfullness8828]

hey kid, 2011 was yesterday

[@Basilisk1000]

[@DanceToTheGrave]

LeafTreez I think it has to be 10+ years to truly be nostalgic. It's not an exact science, but I'm pretty sure I'm right about this one. I do get what u mean tho.

[@colmancostello]

hey.... I'm in this .. thats me at the 2min mark pretending to be a camera guy.. Acting i gues its called.. also built the set and maintained it during the shoot and after. 20 years in the film biz and i have to say... Gary from snow Patrol is one of the nicest dudes I've had the pleasure of working with. total class act !!!!

[@IndieCindy3]

Colman Costello as a long-time fan, this is so nice to hear even though I already know. Just meeting him for a few minutes after gigs you can tell he has a good heart, which is why it’s been heartbreaking to learn about his struggles with addiction and depression. I’m so glad he got help and is doing better now, but still it made me sad that somebody whom I admire so much and who has brought so much joy into my life with his music and wit had to suffer like that.

[@Jaggededge112]

He is so down to earth and salt of the land. I love the fact he has live Instagram where he interacts with his fans. To me that shows he is so generous with his time. His foundations do a lot of work. I wish to meet him one day.

[@sandrablackburn4583]

Wow nice Good Why did you keep the set for 20plus years though?.. N yeah I bet he is too... I always thought he would be.. I've seen them twice in concert.. my family partly Irish too.. Thanks for sharing

[@CrashBandiscoot]

Really?? Omg that makes me happy to hear! The concept of the video is fantastic, it’s his *everything* but the crew (subtle dig at the entire music industry? Or maybe just his own experiences?) wants to polish with glitz and glamor and a “better” looking dude. Doesn’t work in the end. It closes with a “come as you are, imperfections and all” ❤

[@d.s.j6051]

😎

[@bobabotato5849]

Jack Davenport looks so handsome here oh my

[@jamessenese7476]

For me this IS their best song. Never gets old. It’s the perfect marriage of song and video. I really love it. It always lifts my spirit to listen and watch it. The dancers are amazing.

[@larapop3932]

The atmosphere....no words

[@lukeferrell5242]

Chasing cars for me

[@JohnTate]

Agreed! Dancers👌👍, short haired brunette 😍😍❤💓💘!

[@ZoolGatekeeper]

'Run' for me. Light up.

[@CALISUPERSPORT]

It's their most euphoric song imo. Love it

[@nathandavid1362]

This song still hits the mark during specific life transitions. I find myself coming back to it. 🙌❤️🔥

[@cyycher]

'Specific life transitions.' Correct.

[@rg1283]

Gary`s voice and Jack Davenport... damn a good combination I loooove this song

[@hntr_official]

I remember when I first heard this track on the radio in 2011 during a terrible time in my teenhood. I just remembered it again.

[@IzDiaries]

Gary said that he met Jack Davenport just before this was filmed and Davenport was complaining that singers get "instant" recognition, while actors do not. Gary offered Davenport a spot in this music video...shoving him out of the spotlight!

[@ericfarrow6128]

Must have been quite the honor…

[@aleksapivnicki5067]

I can't belive this song is more than 11 years old! It was like yesterday when I was in elementary school and this song was released and played everyday on VH1 channel...good times!

[@dan_ferreirac]

Impossível não amar as músicas do Snow Patrol... Simplesmente perfeitas ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@travish194]

I love Jack Davenport. I need to watch Coupling again!

[@annapiterina8088]

Jack Davenport, actor from FlashForward. So handsome, gracefull and cool!

[@shannaellis9206]

I love this band so much. One of my favorites. Great songwriting by Lightbody. I love the fact that he doesn't feel the need to rhyme all of his lyrics together. Seriously not enough recognition for the amount of talent this guy has.

[@myumbrellared]

Jack Davenport + Snow Patrol = 🖤

[@DISTER141]

Jack Davenport sucks!!!

[@alexlantush]

the end of 2023, and the song sounds like the first time ❤

thank you for posting the lyrics. A very powerful song and a nice video that points to the meaning of the amazing lyrics. Wish to see them live and hope it sounds as good as i imagine. They did not need to be told "And how the heavens, they opened up Like arms of dazzling gold With our rain washed histories Well they do not need to be told" and "it's like we just can't help ourselves 'Cause we don't know how to back down We were called out to the streets We were called in to the towns" and ....Pretty much explains life in a song

[@kimbakotschi]

This is the cutest thing. I love how it is representative of how music artists must feel when they have been in the industry for a while. Like even though it's thier music, they don't feel like they get to be in the spot light as themselves.

[@abbey8703]

Does snow patrol ever do a bad song !!!!! Never !!!!

Set Fire To The Third Bar? And even then that was mostly because someone else was in it.

That song is awesome! tastes differ

[@ogoidordeptv6512]

No they weren't, especially When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up, at that time they weren't internationally recognized, they were kind of underground, until Final Straw came!

[@goldenrecords9240]

+Freddie Grace he is mate but in england....he had a fantastic show called coupling

[@freddiegrace3770]

eminems99 I watched that on KZbin but that was a long time ago. I would like to see him more now. I really hated the show Smash but he was a stand out in the show. He seems to get good roles in shows that don't last in the US. It seems like a waste of talent.

[@wyster14]

Back in the early 2010s, I had an mp3 player that could pick up radio, so while I was staying at a relatives house, I listened to music on the radio. One night, this song came on, and I just remember holding the player up to keep the good reception, because I fell so much in love with this song. Now, I love it just as much, and I feel so happy I discovered it by accident all of those years ago.

This is what a good music vid should be, funny, sensible and have a story. I was never bored while watching and got my AWWW moment in the end (I KNEW the director would end up dancing with him). Love it. It suits the music too. There's a reason why people make videos for their music, and somehow the purpose is lost these days. And question: Why do they not have a grammy yet?
