[Verse 1]
This is not a love song
I'm just checking that your light's still on
I just wanna feel like I belong
But I don't know where I am
I've not quite broken everything I've loved
That's why I hold you in museum gloves
And you can ask me anything you like
Just don't ask me why I'm like this
[Chorus]
All I know is holding you is all I ever wanna know
But maybe I'm not brave enough to tell you so
But I don't have the strength to watch you go
Oh, they say it's better to have loved at least but reel it in
It wasn't that I wasn't feeling anything
More like feeling everything at once
[Verse 2]
So I guess this is a love song after all
I think I might have lied before, I don't recall
And they say that pride, it comes before the fall
But so does silence, dear
[Chorus]
All I know is holding you is all I ever wanna know
But maybe I'm not brave enough to tell you so
But I don't have the strength to watch you go
Oh, they say it's better to have loved at least but reel it in
It wasn't that I wasn't feeling anything
More like feeling everything at once
[Bridge]
I, I couldn't let your love
Couldn't let your love go by
I, I couldn't let your love
Couldn't let your love go by
[Chorus]
All I know is holding you is all I ever wanna know
But maybe I'm not brave enough to tell you so
But I don't have the strength to watch you go
Oh, they say it's better to have loved at least but reel it in
It wasn't that I wasn't feeling anything
More like feeling everything at once
[Outro]
More like feeling everything at once
More like feeling everything at once
More like feeling everything at once

Gary Lightbody:
Fraser and I went in together for the first time to write in October, November 2022 and we’d never met. He was the first outside person I’d written a song with for Snow Patrol. It’s a kind of blind date. You arrive in a room, and the intention is to write a song in a day. I walked i...
