When It Hits You Feel No Pain Pt. III

Just sharing another song that gets under my skin. Feeling like you’re standing still for so long, only to be “catapulted” into motion but not quite sure where you’ll land is something I can relate to.

From the top of the first page
To the end of the last day
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn’t matter who you are.

That line gets me every time. Powerful, moving. When asked what it is that I would hope to find in another, I think the onion eventually gets peeled down to (among a few important others) “someone who cares/listens/is on my side”. It’s what I seek at its basest, simplest form. It’s that kind of loving acceptance that moves life meaningfully forward.

I’m tired of knowing that this is what I hope to achieve but never reaching for it. I have left square one.

Square One

By: Coldplay

You’re in control is there anywhere you wanna go?
You’re in control is there anything you wanna know?
The future’s for discovering
The space in which we’re traveling

From the top of the first page
To the end of the last day
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn’t matter who you are.

Under the surface trying to break through
Deciphering the codes in you
I need a compass,draw me a map
I’m on the top I can’t get back
Whoah. Woah.

First line of the first page
To the end of the last place
You were looking
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter who you are

Oooh.

You just want somebody listening to what you say
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter who you are

Is there anybody out there who is lost and hurt and lonely too
Are they bleeding all your colours into one
And if you come undone as if you’d been run through
Some catapult that fired you
You wonder if your chance will ever come
Or if you’re stuck in square one.
