| I love the way when he says "Don't be scared of anything at all" he breathes really loud. It's penetrating. That was the moment when I thought "Oh god, I'm in love!" Amazing song, one of the best ones on the album. Actually, Final Straw is flawless. It is perfection | |

| The specifics are very unclear, but this seems to be a guy trying to tell a girl that yes, he's screwed up before, but if she'll just trust him again, he'll get them both out the situation they're in now. "My role in this mess is not something that I can be proud of" but darling, I promise I'll fix it. | |

| I think it's called 'Wow' because that's the first thing that comes into his head when he sees her... It seems to be him trying to fix things with his girlfriend, but he knows they can make it work. | |

| i read into this differently... i was involved with a guy who had a girfriend. he wanted us both but he wanted me more-- he just didn;t know how to tell the other girl he was cheating and he wanted to be with me. so he was all crazy, not knowing what to do or if he was making the right choice, so i played him this song... "don't be scared of anything at all, all we have is all we need" (don't be scared-- we have each other and you'll get through this...) "there's no one watching as we leave" (he didn;t have to tell her everything, since he didn;'t want to hurt her. he could just leave her and she wouldn';t know it was because of our thing...) so then i asked him to "say the first thing that comes into you mind when you see me" and he said he knew he wanted me. it looks right, ti feels right.... so i said "if it looks like it works and it feels like it works, then it works"!!!! "just follow me now" (just do it, come with me and we'll be together and his "worries will soon disappear" but he didn;t come with me... He started to, "you did come round but you changed your mind" so anyway, it didn't work out. but i came out on top. i decided that i was sick of the love triangle- especially of being the other woman-- it's just a big disaster and it's shameful... so "my role in this mess is not something that i can be proud of, but it's all going to change" sorry that was long, but that's what this song is about to me... | |

| "I find careful patterns in the snow It seems you did come round but changed your mind" Such awesome lyrics... I love pretty much every song I've heard by Snow Patrol. | |
