Snow Patrol - Hands Open

It’s hard to argue when you won’t stop making sense,
but my tongue still misbehaves and it keeps digging my own grave
With my hands open and my eyes open
I just keep hoping
that your heart opens.

Why would I sabotage the best thing that I have?
Well it makes it easier to know exactly what I want,
with my hands open and my eyes open,
I just keep hoping
that your heart opens.

It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right.
You gotta be more than hoping it’s right.
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it—collapse into me, tired with joy.
...

Put Sufjan Stevens on, and we’ll play your favorite song.
Chicago bursts to life and your sweet smile remembers you—my hands open and my eyes open..
I just keep hoping that your heart opens.

It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right.
You gotta be more than hoping it’s right.
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it—collapse into me, tired with joy.
...
