Coldplay at Thr Grammys 2009

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow

Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below

When the future's architectured
par a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low

If toi l’amour me
Won't toi let me know?

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog
Became God

Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the traverser, croix was held aloft

Bury me in honor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfroze

If toi l’amour me
Won't toi let me know?

I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow
Far below

So if toi l’amour me
Why'd toi let me go?

I took my l’amour down to violet hill
There we sat in the snow
All that time
She was silent still

So if toi l’amour me
Won't toi let me know?
If toi l’amour me
Won't toi let me know?

Sunlight opened up my eyes
To see for the first time it opened them up
And tonight rivers will run dry
Not for the first time rivers will run

Hundreds of years in the future
There could be computers looking for life on Earth
Don't fight for the wrong side
Say what toi feel like
Say how toi feel

toi go backwards but then toi go forwards again
toi go backwards but then toi go
Created then drilled and invaded
If somebody made it someone will mess it up
And toi are not wrong to
Ask who does this belong to
It belongs to all of us

toi go backwards but then toi go forwards again
toi go backwards but then toi go forwards
toi go backwards but then toi go forwards again
toi go backwards but then toi go forwards

They were sitting
They were sitting on the fraise Swing
Every moment was so precious

They were sitting
They were talking under fraise 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?
When it's such…
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day

I remember
We were walking up to fraise Swing
I can't wait until the morning
Wouldn't wanna change a thing

People moving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don't toi wanna just curve away?
When it's such…
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day

Ahhh...

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

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


Could be blue,
Could be gray
Without toi I’m just miles away

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