• So I look in your direction But you pay me no attention And you know how much I need you But you never even see me
• I awake to see that no one is free, We're all fugitives
• My heart is yours, It's you that I hold on to
• your skin and bones turn into something beautiful
• For you I'd bleed myself dry
• And I, I never meant to cause you trouble and I, I never meant to do you wrong
• In a haze, a stormy haze, I'll be round, I'll be loving you always, always, Here I am and I'll take my time, Here I am and I'll wait in line always, Always

A Rush Of Blood to the Head

• give me love over, love over this
• 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
• nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard
• questions of science, science and progress do not speak as loud as my heart
• Am I a part of the cure? Or am I part of the disease?
• slowly breaking through a daylight
• honey you are a rock upon which I stand
• I started look for a warning sign when the truth is I miss you
• you were an island and I passed you by
• I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war if you can tell me something worth fighting for
• Some will laugh and some just sit and cry but you just sit down there and you wonder why
• If I'd only waited I'd not be stuck here in this hole
• But time is on your side It's on your side now
• And I know I'm dead on the surface, but I am screaming underneath
• Stood on the edge tied to a noose and you came along and you cut me loose

X and Y

• You just want Somebody listening to what you say 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?
• You wonder if your chance'll ever come Or if you're stuck in square one
• What if there was no light Nothing wrong nothing right What if there was no time And no reason or rhyme
• Let's take a breath and jump over the side, Ooh that's right How can you know it when you don't even try?
• Every step that you take Could be your biggest mistake It could bend or it could break That's the risk that you take
• darkness always turns into light
• 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've seen it Maybe if you say it you'll mean it And when you find it you'll keep it In a permanent state
• You're part of the human race All of the stars and the outer space Part of a system a plan
• Swim out on a sea of faces The tide of the human races
• An answer now is what I need See it in the new sun rise and See it break on your horizon
• Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones
• But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth
• I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
• You could take a picture of something you see In the future where will I be?
• Are you lost or incomplete? Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
• You'll tell anyone who'll listen, but you feel ignored Nothing's really making any sense at all, let's talk
• I dive in at the deep end You become my best friend
• You and me are floating on a tidal wave together You and me are drifting into outer space and singing
• How long do I have to climb Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
• Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
• Some things you have to believe Others are puzzles puzzling me
• And birds go flying at the speed of sound
• If you could see it then you'd understand Oh when you see it then you'll understand
• My song is love Love to the loveless shown
• My song is love My song is love unknown And 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 nothing on my own
• On a platform, I'm gonna stand and say That I'm nothing on my own and I love you please come home
• All you ever wanted was love But you never looked hard enough
• But nothing is as down or as up as us
• Don't you want to see it come down? There for throwing your arms around And say, "You're not a moment too soon"
• And the hardest part Was letting go not taking part
• Everything I know is wrong Everything I do it just comes undone And everything is torn apart Oh, and that's the hardest part
• You cut me down to size and opened up my eyes made me realize what I could not see
• Well that's where I belong and you belong with me
• Ah what good is it to live with nothing left to give? Forget but not forgive Not loving all you see
• Yeah you belong with me not swallowed in the sea
• Sunlight opened up my eyes to see for the first time
• 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
• Still my heart and hold my tongue
• I don't know which way I'm going I don't know which way I've come
• I need someone who understands I need someone, someone who hears For you I've waited all these years
• In your tears and in your blood In your fire and in your flood I hear you laugh I heard you sing I wouldn't change a single thing
• For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come Until my day my day is done And say you'll come and set me free Just say you'll wait you'll wait for me

Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends

• Through the dark streets they go searching, To see God in their own way
• I see God come in my garden but I don't know what he said for my heart it wasn't open
• Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost
• Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off
• Time is so short and I'm sure there must be something more
• You thought you might be a ghost! You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
• Lovers keep on the road you're on Runners until the race is run Soldiers you've got to soldier on Sometimes even the right is wrong
• And I have no doubt One day the sun will come out
• God only God knows I'm trying my best but I'm just so tired of this loneliness
• One minute I held the key next the walls were closed on me and I discovered that my castles stand upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
• 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?
• Cold, cold water bring me round now my feet won't touch the ground
• Inside a perfectly straight line don't you wanna just curve away?
• Now the sky could be blue could be grey without you I'm just miles away oh the sky could be blue I don't mind without you it's a waste of time
• So come over, just be patient and don't worry
• I don't want a cycle of recycled revenge I don't want to follow death and all of his friends
• And in the end we lie awake and we dream of making our escape

Prospekt's March

• Oh oh love don't let me go Won't you take me where the street lights glow?
• Gravity release me and don't ever hold me down now my feet won't touch the ground
• He heard you could see your future inside a glass of water the ripples and the lines and he asked "Will I see heaven in mine?"
• Spend your whole life living in the past going nowhere fast
• Time so vicious the deeper that the knife goes in the more you win you end up with less than where you begin
• I ask somebody what the time is but time doesn't matter to them yet
• We're just two little figures in a soup bowl trying to get behind some kind of control
• But here am I on my own in a separate sky and here I lie on my own in a separate sky
• Now my feet won't touch the ground now my head won't stop you wait a lifetime to be found now my feet won't touch the ground

Mylo Xyloto

• Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?
• I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine
• Yes I feel a little bit nervous yes I feel nervous and I cannot relax how come they're out to get us how come they're out when they don't know the facts
• When she was just a girl she expected the world but it flew away from her reach
• Life goes on, it gets so heavy the wheel breaks the butterfly
• I know the sun must set to rise
• Light a fire a fire a spark light a fire a flame in my heart
• So we'll soar luminous and wired we'll be glowing in the dark
• The tightrope that I'm walking just sways and ties the devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes
• Through chaos as it swirls it's us against the world
• I turn the music up, I got my records on I shut the world outside until the lights come on
• I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song
• I'd rather be a comma than a full stop
• You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart
• Up in flames we have slowly gone can't we pour some water on?
• 'When you're tired of racing and you find you never left the start come on baby don't let it break your heart
• Even in your rains and shadows still we're never going to part
• The birds they sang, all a choir 'Start again', a little higher It's a spark in a sea of grey
• Send me up to that wonderful world And then I'm up with the birds
• I know one day good things are coming our way
