Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame
I believe it’s meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame
Say my name sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don’t want to lose this feeling
[ti:hurts like heaven]
[al:mylo xyloto]
coldplay – hurts like heaven
written in graffiti on a bridge in a park
‘do you ever get the feeling
that you’re missing the mark?’
it’s so cold, it’s so cold
it’s so cold, it’s so cold
written up in marker on a factory sign
‘i struggle with the feeling
that my life isn’t mine’
it’s so cold, it’s so cold
it’s so cold, it’s so cold
see the arrow that they shot,
trying to tear us apart
fire from my belly and the beat from my heart
still i won’t let go
still i won’t let go
you
ooohooh
’cause you do
oh you, use your heart as a weapon
and it hurts like heaven
on every street, every car,
on every surface are names
and at the streets arise, i’ll be rather insane
don’t let them take control
no we won’t let take control
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?
so on concrete canvas under cover of dark
on concrete canvas, i’ll go making my mark
armed with a spray can soul
i’ll be armed with a spray can soul
you
ooohooh
oh, you
ooohooh
’cause you
you use your heart as a weapon
and it hurts like heaven
woho-ooh
woho-oooh
it’s true
when you
use your heart as a weapon
and it hurts like heaven
end
i turn the music up,
i got my records on
i shut the world outside
until the lights come on
maybe the streets alight,
maybe the trees are gone
i feel my heart start beating
to my favorite song
and all the kids they dance,
all the kids all night
until monday morning feels another life
i turn the music up
i’m on a roll this time
and heaven is in sight
i turn the music up,
i got my records on
from underneath a rubble,
sing a rebel song
don’t want to see another generation drop
i’d rather be a comma
than a full stop
maybe i’m in the black,
maybe i’m on my knees
maybe i’m in the gap
between the two trapezes
but my heart is beating
and my pulses start
cathedrals in my heart
and we saw oh this light i swear you,
emerge blinking into
to tell me it’s alright
as we soar walls, every siren is a symphony
and every tear’s a waterfall is a waterfall, oh is a waterfall, oh, oh, oh is a waterfall every tear is a waterfall
oh, oh, oh
so you can hurt, hurt me bad
but i’ll still raise the flag
it was a wa, wa, wa, wa, waterfall
a wa, wa, wa, wa, waterfall every tear every tear everyteardropis a waterfall every tear every tear everyteardropis a waterfall
Summer after high school when we first met
We made out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents’ liquor and climb to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planed that one day I’d be losing you
in another life I would be your girl
We’d keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in another life I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoa
Someone said that you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the blues
It’s time to face the music, I’m no longer your muse
in another life I would be your girl
We’d keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in another life, I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one, the one, the one
The one that got away
All this money can’t buy me a time machine, no
Can’t replace you with a million rings, no
I should’ve told you what you meant to me, whoa
‘Cause now I pay the price
In another life I would be your girl
We’d keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in another life, I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one, the one, the one, the one
And in another life I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
