Dear John

Snow Patrol "Set the Fire to the Third Bar" from Dear John

Trailer Park Movies | MySpace Video


I do not know how many of you have read the book or seen the movie yet, but there has been a lot of support out there for the movie. I have read the book, but have not seen the movie. I loved the book and really can not wait to.

The song they have for it "Set Fire to the Third Bar" by Snow Patrol fits the movie so well. I'm sure it will be the theme song for ever long distance relationship, as well as military couple out there. I can't stop listening to it.  I just thought I would share it with you. Below are the lyrics. Enjoy.

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
