Crack The Shutters

Snow Patrol · Up To Now [2009]

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
