[Verse 1: Gary Lightbody & Martha Wainwright]
I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from "A" to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
[Pre-Chorus: Gary Lightbody & Martha Wainwright]
I touch the place
Where I'd find your face
My fingers in creases
Of distant dark places
[Verse 2: Gary Lightbody & Martha Wainwright]
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
[Pre-Chorus: Gary Lightbody & Martha Wainwright]
Their words, mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
[Chorus: Gary Lightbody & Martha Wainwright]
And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground, I
I pray that somethin' picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from "A" to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
[Pre-Chorus: Gary Lightbody & Martha Wainwright]
I touch the place
Where I'd find your face
My fingers in creases
Of distant dark places
[Verse 2: Gary Lightbody & Martha Wainwright]
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
[Pre-Chorus: Gary Lightbody & Martha Wainwright]
Their words, mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
[Chorus: Gary Lightbody & Martha Wainwright]
And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground, I
I pray that somethin' picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
