latest and greatest

I am a get-obsessed-with-a-song-and-play-it-over-and-over kind of girl.. Here is my latest finding. I know it's not a new song, but I had only heard it a couple times before yesterday, when I borrowed the CD, instantly loving it.

Swallowed In The Sea
By COLDPLAY

You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see
Where I was going wrong

You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line
And hung me out to dry
And darling that's when I
Decided to go to see you

You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see

And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world, and then it took
It took it back from me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you'll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea

And I could write a song
Ahundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

The streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

Oh what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
Forget but not forgive
Not loving all you see

All the streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well that's where I belong
And you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

This song was frigging AMAZING at the concert last year... I think Heather cried.

Or maybe that was when she was snuggling with Melissa after the concert.

Yes. I definately cried.

I cried and I lauged and I weeped some more.

The true joy of a Coldplay concert.
