When it started we had high hopes
Now my back’s on the line
My back’s on the ropes
When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool
Of us in the daylight
Then we were dying of frustration
Saying «Lord lead me not into temptation»
But it’s not easy when she turns you on
Sin, stay gone
If you’d only, if you’d only say yes
Whether you will’s anybody’s guess
God, only God knows I’m trying my best
But I’m just so tired of this loneliness
(Hey!)
So up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop then they let go
Dizzily screaming «Let the windows down!»
As I crawl to the ground
If you’d only if you’d only say yes
Whether you will’s anybody’s guess
God, only God knows she won’t let me rest
But I’m just so tired of this loneliness
I’ve become so tired of this loneliness
And underrated song indeed, specially when start the second awesome outstanding instrumental part!! Really, here Coldplay just nailed it!! "Chinese sleep chant" is hypnotic!
Someone said this song had a weird scary instrument to it and that it was a mess. I can’t hear it that way. There’s no scary sound, and the instrumental change is pretty nice.
