Fix You

Man, do you ever hear a song you've heard a billion times but this one time you listen to it, you can just relate like never before? That's how I feel about Coldplay's "Fix You." I listened to it a lot this summer when I was overseas. I kind of hesitate to say that, because when you're serving overseas you should only listen to or be encouraged by worship songs, right? (sarcasm) But this song is really heartfelt and sometimes I think I could have written it (not comparing myself to the brilliance of Coldplay, just saying those thoughts could have come from me.). Anyways, I heard this last night and wanted to tell Chris Martin that I totally know what he's talking about! So here are the lyrics:


Fix You

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.

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 on your face
And I

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

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

Here's the video if you've never heard it:


*sigh* What a great song.
