| I think this is about having to split up with someone because one or the other has to move away a fair distance, which would mean it's impossible to continue a relationship. "To think I might not see those eyes Makes it so hard not to cry And as we said our long goodbyes I nearly did" This to me is saying that because they still really love each other, it really hurts having to say goodbye, but in this case they have no choice. For me the chorus is basically saying no matter what happens, there'll always be a place in my heart for you, and I'll always think about you. "Louder, louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say" I think that is the dude's thoughts on like running away together, but really deep down they know that they can't do that, as much as they'd love to. Pfff...Totally love this song, brings back good and bad memories for me. Still not bored of it, never will be | |

| This song is amazing..... I don't think I could ever get sick of it. Everything about it seems perfect, and the build-up in the chorus just gives me chills. I agree with g4m8i7, I always thought the song was about leaving someone you really care for, but still having hope that in the end it will all work out ('I know we'll make it anywhere'). I think they're getting ready to leave each other and won't meet again for a while ('Then we really have to go' ... 'We don't have time for that'). And also, when he sings 'Louder, louder, we'll run for our lives' it's like they are wanting to escape from everything else and just stay how they are at that moment, like their lives will not be the same without each other. | |

| yes i totally agree this song is about a break up but neither party wants to end it...its as if the other party needs to go away and cant do anything about it and he is telling her to put her chin up hence 'light up light up as if you have a choice' perhaps her family is moving far away...this is such a beautiful song...i love coldplay and im beginning to love snow patrol | |

| i donno, to me i think it's about someone dying. he loves this person. or maybe he's dying... To think I might not see those eyes Makes it so hard not to cry And as we said our long goodbyes I nearly did Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear Have heart my dear We're bound to be afraid that's where i get my opinion from | |
