Lyrics: Fix you, Coldplay
That I identify with this song raises many more questions than answers, psychologically speaking.
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse
And 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
And 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.
*meekly* hey look! confusion put into song!
Screened?
Oh , dear.
Question: Which lneof this strikes you the most?
Tell me what this means to you. I know that we are so very different in our lyrical interpretation, i don’t want to assume what this song speaks to in you.
After a great deal of thought- the only real response I ever should have made to this post was another lyrical post.
This one is going out to you

This Is Love
(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
If you ever need to hear a voice in the middle of the night
When it seems so black outside that you can’t remember light
Ever shone on you or the ones you love in this or another lifetime
And the voice you need to hear is the true and the trusted kind, with a soft
Familiar rhythm in these swirling, unsure times, when the waves are lapping in
And you’re not sure you can swim, well here’s the lifeline
If you ever need to feel a hand take up your own
When you least expect but want it more than you’ve ever known
Baby, here’s that hand, and baby’s here’s my voice that’s calling
This is love, all that ever was and will be
This is love
If you ever need some proof that time can heal your wounds, just step
Inside my heart and walk around these rooms;
where the shadows used to be,
You can feel as well as see how peace can conquer
Time’s been here to fix what’s broken with its power
The love that smashed us both to bits spent its last few hours calling out your name,
And I thought, this is the kind of pain from which we don’t recover
But I’m standing here now with my heart held out to you
You would have thought a miracle was all that got us through
Well baby, all I know, all I know is I’m still standing
And this is love, all that ever was and will be
This is love, standing up for you baby, standing up for me
And I see you still and there’s this catch in my throat;
And I just swallow hard till it leaves me
There’s nothing in this world that can change what we know
Still I know I am here if you ever need me
And this is love
If you ever think of me, let it be around twilight, when the world has
Settled down, and the last round of sunlight is waning in the sky as you
Sit and watch the night descending
A car will pass out front with lovers at the wheel, a dog will bark out
Back, and children’s voices peal over and under the air, you’ve been there,
Lost in the remembering
If you ever wish for things that are only in the past
Just remember that the wrong things aren’t supposed to last
Baby, it’s over and done, the rest is gonna come when you let it
And this is love, all that ever was and will be
This is love, when you let it baby, if you let it now
This is love, all that ever was and can be
This is love
