Oh brother I can’t I can’t get through
I’ve been tryin’ hard to reach you ’cause I don’t know what to do
Oh brother I can’t believe it’s true
I’m so scared about the future and I want to talk to you
Oh I want to talk to you.

You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody had sung
Or do something that’s never been done

Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can’t find your missing piece?
Tell me how you feel
Well I feel like they’re talkin’ in a language I don’t speak
And they’re talkin’ it to me

So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody had sung or do
Something that’s never been done, do
Something that’s never been done

So you don’t know where you’re goin’
And you want to talk
And you feel like you’re goin’ where you’ve been before
You tell anyone who’ll listen, but you feel ignored
But nothing’s really makin’ any sense, let’s talk
Let’s talk, let’s talk, let’s talk.

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where to, where do I go?
If you never try, then you’ll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on this side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I going to stand
With my head stuck under the sand?
I’ll start before I can stop
Before I see things the right way up

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it, then you’d understand

Ideas that you’ll never find
All the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
The sign that I couldn’t read
Or a light that I couldn’t see
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it, then you’d understand
Oh, when you see it, then you’ll understand

All those signs, I knew what they meant
Some things you can’t invent
Some get made and some get sent
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it, then you’d understand
Oh, when you see it, then you’ll understand

The sky could fall, could fall on me
The parting of the sea
But you mean more, mean more to me
Than any colour I can see

All you ever wanted was love
But you never looked hard enough
It’s never gonna give itself up

All you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry
Nothing is as down or as up as us

You see the world in black and white
Not painted right
You see no meaning to your life
You should try
You should try

All you ever wanted was love
But you never looked hard enough
It’s never gonna give itself up

All you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry
Nothing is as down or as up

Don’t you want to see it come soon
Floating in a big white balloon
Come give her your own silver spoon

Don’t you want to see it come down
There for throwing your arms around
And say “You’re not a moment too soon”

Cause I feel low, cause I feel low
Ooooh…
Yeah I feel low
Oh no, oooh
Cause I feel low, cause I feel low
Oh…
Yet I feel low
Oh no, oooh

What if you should decide
That you don’t want me there by your side
That you don’t want me there in your life

What if I got it wrong
And no poem or song
Could put right what I got wrong
Or make you feel I belong

What if you should decide
That you don’t want me there by your side
That you don’t want me there in your life

Ooh ooh-ooh, that’s right
Let’s take a breath, jump over the side
Ooh ooh-ooh, that’s right
How can you know it if you don’t even try
Ooh ooh-ooh, that’s right

Every step that you take
Could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break
That’s the risk that you take

What if you should decide
That you don’t want me there in your life
That you don’t want me there by your side

Ooh ooh-ooh, that’s right
Let’s take a breath, jump over the side
Ooh ooh-ooh, that’s right
How can you know it when you don’t even try
Ooh ooh-ooh, that’s right

Ohhh – Ooh ooh-ooh, that’s right,
Let’s take a breath, jump over the side
Ooh ooh-ooh, that’s right,
You know that darkness always turns into light
Ooh-ooh, that’s right

Where do we go to draw the line
I’ve gotta say I wasted all your time, honey, honey
Where do I go to fall from grace
God put a smile upon your face
Yeah

Now when you work it out I’m worse than you
Yeah when you work it out I want it to
Now when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine

Where do we go nobody knows
Don’t ever say you’re on your way, down
When God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face
Oh yeah

Now when you work it out I’m worse than you
Yeah when you work it out I want it to
Now when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine

It’s as good as mine
It’s as good as mine
It’s as good as mine
As good as mine
As good as mine
As good as mine
As good as mine

Where do we go nobody knows
Don’t ever say you’re on your way, down
When God gave you style and gave you grace

And the strangest thing
Was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest start

I could feel it go down
Bittersweet, I could taste in my mouth
Silver lining the cloud
Oh and I
I wish that I could work it out

And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
You really broke my heart, oh

And I tried to sing
But I couldn’t think of anything
And that was the hardest part, oh, oh

I could feel it go down
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
You’re a silver lining the clouds
Oh and I
Oh and I
I wonder what it’s all about
I wonder what it’s all about

Everything I know is wrong
Everything I do, it just comes undone
And everything is torn apart

Oh and it’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part
Yeah that’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part

Your heavy heart
Is made of stone
And it’s so hard to see you clearly
You don’t have to be on your own
You don’t have to be on your own

And I’m not going to take it back
And I’m not going to say I don’t mean that
You’re the target that I’m aiming at
And I get that message home

My song is love
My song is love unknown
But I’m on fire for you clearly
You don’t have to be alone
You don’t have to be on your own

And I’m not going to take it back
And I’m not going to say I don’t mean that
You’re the target that I’m aiming at
And I’m nothing on my own
Got to get that message home

And I’m not going to stand and wait
Not going to leave it until it’s much too late
On a platform I’m going to stand and say
That I’m nothing on my own
And I love you, please come home

My song is love, is love unknown
And I’ve got to get that message home

I dive in at the deep end
You become my best friend
I wanna love you
But I don’t know if I can
I know something is broken
And I’m trying to fix it
Trying to repair it
Any way I can

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
And singing

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
And singing

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Hundreds of years in the future
It could be computers
Looking for life on earth

Don’t fight for the wrong side
Say what you feel like
Say how you feel

You’ll go backwards, but then
You’ll go forwards again
You’ll go backwards, but then
You’ll go

Created, then drilled and invaded
If somebody made it
Someone will mess it up

And you are not wrong to
Ask who does this belong to
It belongs to all of us

You’ll go backwards, but then
You’ll go forwards again
You’ll go backwards, but then
you’ll go forwards

You’ll go backwards, but then
you’ll go forwards again
You’ll go forwards again
You’ll go forwards

You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that’s where I belong
And you belong with me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea

You put me on the line
And hung me out to dry
And darling that’s when I
Decided to go to see you

You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see

And I could write a book
The one they’ll say that shook
The world, and then it took
It took it back from me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you’ll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well that’s where I belong
And you belong with me

The streets your walking on
A thousand houses long
Well that’s where I belong
And you belong with me

Oh what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
Forget, but not forgive
Not loving all you see
All the streets you’re walking on
A thousand houses long
Well that’s where I belong
And you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

If you ever feel like something’s missing
Things you’ll never understand
Little white shadows sparkle and glisten
Part of a system, a plan

All this noise, I’m waking up
All this space I’m taking up
All this sound is breaking up

Maybe you’ll get what you wanted
Maybe you’ll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state

Maybe you’ll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it you’ll mean it
And when you find it you keep it
In a permanent state
A permanent state

When I was a young boy
I tried to listen
Don’t you wanna feel like that?

You’re part of the human race
All of the stars and the outer space
Part of the system, a plan

All this noise, I’m waking up
All this space I’m taking up
I cannot hear, you’re breaking up

Maybe you’ll get what you wanted
Maybe you’ll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state

Maybe you’ll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it you’ll mean it
And when you find it you keep it
In a permanent state
A permanent state

I’m swimming on a sea of faces
Tide of the human race, and so
An answer now is what I need

See it in the new sun rising
See it break on your horizon, oh
Come on love, stay with me

From the top of the first page
To the end of the last day
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn’t matter who you are

Under the surface trying to break through
Deciphering the codes in you
I need a compass, draw me a map
I’m on the top, I can’t get back

Whooooaa, whooooaa

The first line on the first page
To the end of the last page (you were looking)
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter who you are

You just want somebody listening to what you say
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter who you are

Is there anybody out there who
Is lost and hurt and lonely too?
Are they bleeding all your colours into one?
And if you come undone
As if you’ve been run through
Some catapult had fired you
You wonder if your chance will ever come
Or if you’re stuck in square one

All winter, we got carried
Away over on the rooftops, let’s get married
All summer, we just hurried
So come over, just be patient and don’t worry
So come over, just be patient and don’t worry

So come over, just be patient and don’t worry
And don’t worry

No, I don’t wanna battle from beginning to end
I don’t want a cycle of recycled revenge
I don’t wanna follow Death and all of his friends

No, I don’t want to battle from beginning to end
I don’t want a cycle of recycled revenge
I don’t wanna follow Death and all of his friends

Coldplay Songtext: Violet Hill

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow
Clearly, I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future’s architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You’d better lie low
If you love me won’t you let me know

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And a fox became God
Priests clutched onto Bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And a cross was held aloft
Bury me in armour
When I’m dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfroze
And if you love me won’t you let me know

I don’t want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below
So if you love me why’d you let me go?

I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
Said if you love me, won’t you let me know?
If you love me won’t you let me know?
