Clocks by Coldplay

This is the first song by Coldplay that has been in my head since I started keeping track. Clocks is one I don't really know, and haven't heard it often. It must have been on the radio during one of my recent drives. The first time I ever heard it was on a video by someone named Mario on how to play piano. It does have a gorgeous piano part, and that is the part that was in my head this morning. I had to work hard to call up any lyrics. Coldplay, of course, was a big part of summer/fall 2005 for me. I had one cd that I listened to nonstop, getting super emotional about Emily and Julia leaving for college. The day before they left I worked myself into a full blown anxiety attack, which I thought was a heart attack. $3000 and 4 hours in the emergency room to find out I was just really, really sad about my babies leaving.

Lights go out and I can’t be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead

Singin’, come out if things aren’t said
Shoot an apple off my head
And a, trouble that can’t be named
Tigers waitin’ to be tamed

Singing, yooooooooooooo ohhhhhh
Yoooooooooooo ohhhhhh

Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna, come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know

Singin’, come out upon my seas
Curse missed opportunities
Am I, a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease

Singin’, yoooooooooooo ohhhhhh
Yooooooooooooo ohhhhhh
Yooooooooooooo ohhhhhh
Yooooooooooooo ohhhhhh

Yooooooooooooo ohhhhhh
Yooooooooooooo ohhhhhh

Oh nothing else compares
Oh nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

Yooooooooooooo ohhhhhh
Yooooooooooooo ohhhhhh

Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
