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 Jobby 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

Review about Set The Fire To The Third Bar love | Reviewer: emily | 12/6/09
This song is fantastic I normally don't listen to snow patrol I stick to more of a heavy metal genre but my boyfriend borrowed me the CD and despite my hostility to listen to it I took the time to listen to all of the songs and I am so glad I did this song really got my attention, the female who sings with them makes the song, she does an excellent job of not over powering the other singer it is a very beautiful song and I think this is one I will never get sick of
lyrics | Reviewer: fi | 11/26/09
i love this song as i have the snow patrol cd with it on. The lyrics came with the cd and i think you got a word wrong.
At the bigging of the chorus its And not I'm.
So it should be...
And miles from where you are...etc
but dont worry i thought it was I'm before i read it. :)

This song is by far my favorite from Snow Patrol what really got me hooked to the song is the sound of the song very mellow kinda sad but very romantic and very thoughful, when i first heard this song i had just broken up with my ex and i was in the depressed i'll never find another stage lol i mean when i listen to it i didnt even think of her i was thinking of a new love that would come my way. and well she did.
its a song about new life new love another start. it just happen to a song that picked me and let me know everything was going to be okay

This song has a very eerie sound to it.
The lyrics really help support that.I think its about
trying to find a replacement for your true love.You go from bar
to bar hoping to meet someone special, getting frustrated.
And when you can't find that same warmth you once had,
you try and force it subconsciously, you're pretending its her
that you're with.Your brain is trying to find a way back into her
arms.The line "until exhausted, close our eyelids"is about how
he wishes he could go back to the naive fun
of Shut Your Eyes. It's very dreamlike and surreal its times when you'll do anything to not have to face the reality of being alone.

I can relate | Reviewer: Naomi | 8/19/07
My fiance is in the US army and pretty much all of our relationship has been long distance, with the exeption of leaves, I can relate to the lyrics so much, if i was a lyricist i would have probably wrote something very similar.
I love snow patrol :)
