I close my eyes and I smile
Knowing that everything is alright
To the core
So close that door
Is this happening?

My breath is on your hair
I’m unaware
That you opened the blinds and let the city in
God, you held my hand
And we stand
Just taking in everything.

And I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach
And we’re trying so hard not to fall asleep
Here we are
On this 18th floor balcony.
We’re both flying away.

So we talked about moms and dads
About family pasts
Just getting to know where we came from
Our hearts were on display
For all to see
I can’t believe this is happening to me

And I raised my hand as if to show you that I was yours
That I was so yours for the taking
I’m so yours for the taking
That’s when I felt the wind pick up
I grabbed the rail while choking up
These words to say and then you kissed me…

I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach
And we’re trying so hard not to fall asleep
Here we are
On this 18th floor balcony…
We’re both flying away.

And I’ll try to sleep
To keep you in my dreams
’til I can bring you home with me
I’ll try to sleep
And when I do I’ll keep you in my… dreams

I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach
And we’re trying so hard not to fall asleep
So here we are
On this 18th floor balcony, yeah

I knew it from the start
My arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach
No, we’re not going to sleep sleep

Here we are
On this 18th floor balcony and we’re both..
Flying away

You’re right; it does fit perfectly. Especially when listening to the song itself, not just lyrics. Beautiful.

Watching the days slip by so fast
Knowing our fate has long been cast
Working our fingers to the bone
Cause nobody loves you when youre gone

Coughing up feeling just for you
To find something real to hold on to
But there is a hole inside my heart
Where all of my love comes pouring out.

You know youll always be my man
But grab yourself sweetness where you can
Cause sooner or later were going to die
Left to the dogs under the sky

la la la da da da da

I cracked a piece of broken glass

Coughing up feeling just for you
To find something real to hold on to
But there is a hole inside my heart
Where waves of my love come tumbling out.
You say that all the good is gone
That I have forgotten who I am
Free as a bird
Wild as the wind
But somehow I cannot let you in

I’m sorry.

Leave me be.

found a picture of kira; would i live up or fall short?

I think it’s funny… my favorite song on the new Coldplay CD is the one that nobody happens to mention in their reviews on Amazon.com. heh. It’s so relaxing; makes me happy.

Coldplay - Strawberry Swing

They were sitting
They were sitting in the strawberry swing
Every moment was so precious

They were sitting
They were talking in the strawberry swing
Everybody was for fighting
Wouldn’t wanna waste a thing

Cold, cold water
Bring me round
Now my feet won’t touch the ground
Cold, cold water
What ya say?
It’s such…
It’s such a perfect day
It’s such a perfect day

I remember
We were walking up to strawberry swing
I can’t wait ’til the morning
Wouldn’t wanna change a thing

People leaving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don’t you wanna curve away
It’s such…
It’s such a perfect day
It’s such a perfect day

Now the sky could be blue
I don’t mind
Without you it’s a waste of time

Could be blue
I don’t mind
Without you it’s a waste of time

Could be blue,
could be grey
without you I’m just miles away

The sky could be blue
I don’t mind
Without you it’s a waste of time

well i was rollin wheels and shiftin gears
round that jersey turnpike
barney stopped me with his gun
ten minutes after midnight
said “sir, you broke the limit in this rusty ol truck
i don’t know about that accent, son
just where did you come from?”

i said where i come from
it’s cornbread and chicken
where i come from a lotta front porch sittin
where i come from tryin’ to make a livin’
and workin’ hard to get to heaven
where i come from

well i was south of detroit city
i pulled in this country kitchen
to try their brand of barbecue
the sign said finger-lickin
well i paid the tab and the lady aked me
how’d i like my biscuit
i’ll be honest with you, ma’am
it ain’t like mama fixed it

cause where i come from
it’s cornbread and chicken
where i come from a lotta front porch pickin
where i come from tryin’ to make a livin’
and workin’ hard to get to heaven
where i come from

i was chasin sun on 101
somewhere around Ventura
i lost a universal joint and i had to use my finger
this tall lady stopped and asked
if i had plans for dinner
said no thanks, ma’am, back home
we like the girls that sing soprano

i said where i come from
it’s cornbread and chicken
where i come from a lotta front porch sittin
where i come from tryin’ to make a livin’
and workin’ hard to get to heaven
where i come from

well I was headed home on 65
somewhere around kentucky
the cb rang for the bobtail rig
that’s rollin on like thunder
well i answered him and he asked me

no, but you might’a seen me there
i just dropped a load of salsa

where i come from
it’s cornbread and chicken
where i come from a lotta front porch pickin
where i come from tryin’ to make a livin’
and workin’ hard to get to heaven
where i come from

where i come from a lotta back porch pickin
where i come from tryin’ to make a livin’
and workin’ hard to get to heaven

a lotta front porch sittin
and starin up at heaven
where i come from
