I am currently listening to this song over and over and over and over... if you get my drift.

I am not a Coldplay fan! WHAAAA??? HUHHHHHH? Thats right, I said it! But this song has definitely captured hearts and minds. Everyone who I talk to about this song loves it. Its a simple song but speaks (or sings) volumes.

There is also something about it that rocks us to the very core of our being. Take a look at the lyrics:

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
"Just what you're worth"

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream, down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I...

Tears stream, down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

We all have a desire to fix problems and/or things we see. We want to straighten that crooked picture hanging on the wall. When someone is crying we want to offer arms open wide and a shoulder to catch those tears. We like being able to be in a position of fixing someone.

I think why this song has been resonating with me lately is that I feel like there is some fixing to be done in my life and I like the thought of someone coming and helping "fix me."

Take a listen to the video and tell me what you think. I smile and get pumped everytime I watch this!
