"Lifening" lyrics - SNOW PATROL

A hand upon my forehead
The joke and then the laugh
Waking up in your arms
A place to call my own.

This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life.

Ireland in the World Cup
Either North or South
The Fanclub on the jukebox
The birds and yes the bees.

This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life.

Words of reassurance
But only if they're true
Just some simple kindness
No vengeance from the gods.

This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life.

To share what I've been given
Some kids eventually
And be for them what I've had
A father like my dad.

This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life.
