about

Anyone...like Coldplay? No, no- not CURRENT Coldplay. Coldplay Right-Before-Their-OG-Fans-Completely-Gave-Up-On-Them Coldplay. It was alright stuff.

This is alright stuff.

Man. The word "Coldplay" looks/sounds strange.

lyrics

I became a sounding board
because I understood
what you were going through.
Yes, I’ve been where you are
what seems like years ago,
and now it’s passed to you.

I know it’s not over,
but it seems to be
for me.

Something called a denouement
will bring us all
to our resting place.
I’m trying to show you there’s nothing
that either you or I
can just erase

The Salesman climbs up
their ladder or his chain
til he’s “successful...”
Now what’s he got to gain?
He sees the kind ledge
and brings an end to pain.

So, what’re we doing here?
What’re we doing just sitting here, now?
Ringin’ around the where, when, why, and how?

What’re you saying, now?
That there’s no reason for another day?
But if I’m here, you know you’ll wanna stay,
and maybe that’s fine.

Could be that’s we all we need, sometimes:
With any luck, another soul to give our time,
and maybe that’s fine.

I’m sorry that the world’s a wreck,
neck and neck
with the End of Days.
That apology’s not mine to give,
but it helps to sift
through any chance at saving Grace.

I know it’s not over,
but it seems to be
for me.
You’ve got a long way,
so you can use me
as you please.

So what’re we doin’ here?
What’re we doin’ just sitting here, now?
Ringin’ around the where, when, why, and how?

What’re you sayin,’ now?
That there’s no reason for another day?
But if I’m here, you know you’ll wanna stay,
and maybe that’s fine.

Could be that’s we all we need, sometimes:
With any luck, another soul to give our time,
and maybe that’s fine.

Could be that’s we all we need, sometimes:
With any luck, another soul to give our time.
With some luck, we’ve got a soul to give our time.
