Snow Patrol – Signal Fire lyrics
The perfect words never crossed my mind
'Cause there was nothing in there but you

I felt every ounce of me, screaming out
But the sound was trapped deep in me

All I wanted just sped right past me
But I was rooted fast to the earth
I could be stuck here for a thousand years
Without your arms to drag me out

There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away, you leave me naked
Hold me close, 'cause I need you to guide me to safety

No, I don't wanna wait forever
No, I don't wanna wait forever

In the confusion and the aftermath
You are my signal fire
The only resolution and the only joy
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes

There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away, you leave me naked
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety

There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away, you leave me naked
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety

No, I don't wanna wait forever
No, I don't wanna wait forever
No, I don't wanna wait forever

    To me the song is about realizing what you want and then going for it, in this case it's a girl.
    At first he's scared to tell her ("the sound was trapped deep in me") and everything and everyone is surpassing him ("the world just sped right past me"). But he gets the courage to tell her when he realizes he doesn't want to wait forever, and exposes his secret ("all this falls away to leave me naked").
    It's about seizing the moment.
