Snow Patrol � The President

I�ve run to ground
I�ve run from everyone that I have ever known
I�m aching cold
I�m aching from the bones the very blood of me

And it�s broke before you know it
Before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can�t fix it
And you wish you�d listened more
To your instincts to your family
To the wisdom you�d ignored
Are you finally gonna ask us for help?

I�ve crashed to earth
But I�d fallen for so long that it was just relief
I saw your face
In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes

And it�s broke before you know it
Before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can�t fix it
And you wish you�d listened more
To your instincts to your family
To the wisdom you�d ignored
When you finally gonna ask us for help?

I can see you at the front gate
As you wait on my return
The years have blurred to eons
But the tears have never dried
But I�m not coming to you like this
So battered down and sad
I will take the road forgotten again
