Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For once I want to be the car crash
Not always just the traffic jam
Hit me hard enough to wake me
And lead me wild to your dark roads
[Verse 2]
Headlines before me
So beautiful, so clear
Reach out and take it
'Cause I'm so tired of all this fear
[Verse 3]
My tongue is lost so I can't tell you
Please just see it in my eyes
I pull up thorns from our ripped bodies
And let the blood fall in my mouth
[Verse 4]
Headlines before me
So beautiful, so clear
Reach out and take it
'Cause I'm so tired of all this fear
[Verse 5]
Headlines before me
So beautiful, so clear
Reach out and take it
'Cause I'm so tired of all this fear
Written by: Gary Lightbody, Jonny Quinn, Nathan Connolly, Paul Wilson, Tom Simpson
