The other day, I came to the startling realization that my harddrive was lonely for Snow Patrol. In the course of reacquiring my Snow Patrol, I also came across this radio cover performance of “Run” by Leona Lewis (I don’t know who she is either). Here is the track:

I’ll sing it one last time for you,
And then we really have to go.
You’ve been the only thing that’s right
In all I’ve done.
And I can barely look at you,
But every single time I do,
I know we’ll make it anywhere,
Away from here.
Light up, light up!
As if you have a choice…
Even if you cannot hear my voice,
I’ll be right beside you, dear.
Louder, louder!
And we’ll run for our lives.
I can hardly speak; I understand
Why you can’t raise your voice to say.
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry.
And as we say our long goodbye,
I nearly do.
Slower, slower.
We don’t have time for that.
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads.
Have heart, my dear.
We’re bound to be afraid,
Even if it’s just for a few days,
Making up for all this mess.
- Snow Patrol, Run
