(feat. 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
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places

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

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

my boyfriend is on the other side of the country in the army. we have been together for three years, and i have never gone this long with out him. in two weeks i finally get to see him. the line "we share eachother like an island" makes me think of how nice it is going to be to be held in his arms!

This song keeps me in the moment. When I listen to it I feel myself drift along the clouds. It is very inspiring and Martha's voice is just the sound that keeps the rythm going. Snow Patrol and Martha Wainwright are silently mixing love within me. This is a song worth listening to-over and over-again.

This song is the best song I've heard in a long time. It's absolutly amazing, But then again so is all Snow Patrol's songs. I Like to listen to this when I'm walking also. And thanks so much for clearing up the title. Also, in the cd's lyric booklet it doesn't say "I'M miles from where you are." It says "AND miles from where you are." Just thought I'd clear that up. =)

meaning of the title --don't know about the electric fire thing - maybe they're talking about writing the song - bars of music and all. Of course, he's Irish based in Scotland and she's nuts, so they're probably talking about being on a pub crawl, getting hammered and commiting acts of arson while steaming. Typical night out in Glasgow really.

This song is a marvelous piece of work, not many that I know actually like the song, but I adore it... The voices are just amazing together and it creates such an air to the song that it doesn't need strong background music (most people I know like songs that way). But its subtle and entrancing, I've been listening to it all day (even during class) and it has inspired me. ^-^ ~Its just so Beautiful

this song is amazing, but i cry each and every time i listen to it :( because it reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. We used to call it "our song". But then he broke my heart and i cried for ages and this song just makes my memories of him come flooding back, he was my first love!
