Thinking & Feeling

“The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.” Horace Walpole

It's been minutes, it's been days, it's been all I will remember

Snow Patrol - Crack The Shutters

You cool your bed-warm hands
down on the broken radiator,
And when you lay them freezing on me,
I mumble "can you wake me later?"
But I don't really want you to stop
and you know it so it doesn't stop you
And run your hands from my neck to my chest

Crack the shutters open wide,
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays tangle
up around your face and body
I could sit for hours finding
new ways to be awed each minute
Cuz' the daylight seems to want you
just as much as I want you

It's been minutes, it's been days,
it's been all I will remember
Happy lost in your hair
and the cold side of the pillow
Your hills and valleys
are mapped by my intrepid fingers
And in a naked slumber,
I dream all this again

Crack the shutters open wide,
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours finding
new ways to be awed each minute
Cuz' the daylight seems to want you
just as much as I want you

Crack the shutters open wide,
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays tangle
up around your face and body
I could sit for hours finding
new ways to be awed each minute
Cuz' the daylight seems to want you
just as much as I want you
