I totally loved this song when it first came out but it was too overplayed and that really killed it for me.

agreed snow patrol should win - but i would prefer it if it was with run rather than this. run is so much deeper and more emotional, and is underrated rather than overrated like chasing cars. not denying it is a fantastic song, but has been overplayed and so many people overlook the rest of snow patrol's amazing work in favour of this one song, which is merely average in comparison to some of their other work.
