Amsterdam

Kurt and I are seeing Coldplay on Friday November 21, 2008, for the first time ever. I am so unbelievably excited. They are my most favorite band of all time, and sing most of my favorite songs of all time. I'll be honest, the tickets were quite spendy but they're on the floor and oh-so worth it! To count down to this memorable and much-anticipated event, I'm going to post a favorite Coldplay song every half week. That'll be 6 songs. I might have a hard time narrowing it down. In no particular order, here is the first: Amsterdam.

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
If I, if I'd only waited
I'd not be stuck here in this hole
Come here, oh my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
And I swear I waited and waited
I've got to get out of this hole
But time is on your side
It's on your side now
Not pushing you down
And all around
It's no cause for concern
Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I'm dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath
And time is on your side
It's on your side now
Not pushing you down
And all around
Oh it's no cause for concern
Stuck on the end
Of this ball and chain
And I'm on my way back down again
Stood on the edge
Tied to the noose
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean
But it won't change a thing
I'm sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge
Tied to the noose
But you came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose...
