The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead, singing
Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head, and a
Trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing
You are
You are
Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks, gonna
Come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know, singing
Come out upon my seas
Curse missed opportunities, am I
A part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease? Singing
You are
You are
You are
You are
You are
You are
And nothing else compares
Oh, nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
You are
You are
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go (You are)
Home, home, where I wanted to go (You are)

| ziakut (Slightly North of Obvlivion) | Posted: Jan 07, 2013 - 18:43 These clocks need to stop ticking for a while I say. So sick of this Coldplay tune. There are others I'm sick of too, but this one is in the lead. |
| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Jan 07, 2013 - 18:43 magnificent song... love it... |
| RussNelson | Posted: Dec 24, 2012 - 20:17 This sounds pretty awesome when arranged for, and performed on handbells. |

| msymmes (Toronto, CA) | Posted: Dec 07, 2012 - 09:43 Beck, The Verve and Coldplay classics all pretty much back to back. A time warp! |
| Segue (Almost Paradise) | Posted: Dec 07, 2012 - 09:42 I wrote this song in 6th grade |

I wonder if being married to Gwyneth Paltrow helps the creative process. well, this song was written BEFORE they got married... And I - personally - don't care much for their post 2004 musical efforts. He lost his edge after getting married (& rich)...imho. (Most do). Keeping an artist broke and in solitude: then they might stay at their zenith concerning creativity & significance. Oh, how I loooove "early" Coldplay. |

Gourmet tunes!This is a really fine song from a really good album. I dislike people whacking a good tune because the band has had a few soft attempts...These guys did good and should be well rewarded for it. I suspect that they will do well again, once the label has backed off a bit. |
| 84MacGuy (Portland, Oregon) | Posted: Nov 23, 2012 - 11:49 I must say Coldplay puts out some very fine music. Complex, yet very smooth. I wonder if being married to Gwyneth Paltrow helps the creative process. I know it would for me. |

| PA1749 (Room 106) | Posted: Aug 23, 2012 - 10:21 As far as universal appeal and a timeless theme, this is one of the best songs written in the past 30 years. IMHO. |

You must hate most music then, I guess. |
| Imkirok (The Arctic Hinter Land) | Posted: Jun 21, 2012 - 13:15 Is it just me, or did these guys get old in a hurry. Seemed like they were new and innovative just a few years ago. Now, I can't stand them. |

Woe to Arcade Fire, MMJ or any other somewhat indie/unknown band that breaks thru to the masses. Too late, all of those bands suck too! However to be fair all those bands you mentioned sucked before their fame.  |
