Lyric of the Day #24: “Fix You” by Coldplay

When you try your best, but you don’t succeed, 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 on 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.

Coldplay’s second single off of their 2005 album X & Y follows a very somber tune with a melodic chorus but has an uplifting message, and that is when you are at your lowest point this entity or person that is singing will try to “fix you”.  I don’t have much to write about these lyrics but I just like how they sound every time I listen to them and if you haven’t heard this song or haven’t listened to it in a while turn it on right now and enjoy.
