Called Out In The Dark Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's like we just can't help ourselves
Cause we don't know how to back down
We were called out to the streets
We were called out to the towns
How the heavens they opened up
Like arms of dazzling gold
With our rain-washed histories
Well, we do not need to be told
[Pre-Chorus]
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye, trained on a different star
This magic, this drunken semaphore, and I
[Chorus]
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this your time
We are listening and were not blind
This is your life, this is your time
[Verse 2]
I was called out in the dark
By a choir of beautiful cheats
And as the kids took back the parks
You and I were left with the streets
It's like we just can't help ourselves
Cause we don't know how to back down
We were called out to the streets
We were called out to the towns
How the heavens they opened up
Like arms of dazzling gold
With our rain-washed histories
Well, we do not need to be told
[Pre-Chorus]
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye, trained on a different star
This magic, this drunken semaphore, and I
[Chorus]
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this your time
We are listening and were not blind
This is your life, this is your time
[Verse 2]
I was called out in the dark
By a choir of beautiful cheats
And as the kids took back the parks
You and I were left with the streets
[Pre-Chorus]
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye, trained on a different star
This magic, this drunken semaphore, and I
[Chorus]
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this your time
We are listening and were not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye, trained on a different star
This magic, this drunken semaphore, and I
[Chorus]
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this your time
We are listening and were not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time

What did Snow Patrol say about "Called Out In The Dark"?
Genius Answer
According to Gary Lightbody in 2013:
‘Called Out In the Dark’ was really fun when we got it. It was just that little guitar riff. […] That guitar riff is a riff that I wrote and it’s very simple. And it’s really Garret’s suggestion of giving it those dance beats that gives itself an identity as kind of a new thing for Snow Patrol. I think we tried a lot of new things with Fallen Empires, with that whole album. […] ‘Called Out In the Dark’ makes me very happy indeed.
