Us Against the World
Coldplay
Mylo Xyloto (2011)

Oh morning come bursting, the clouds, they move.
Lift off this blindfold, let me see again.
And bring back the water that your ships will rid, in my heart, she left (alone/un-whole)*
The tightrope that I'm walking, just sways and ties.
The devil, as he's talking, with those angel's eyes.
And I just wanna be there when the lightning strikes.
(And the Saints gone, what to do?)
And sing slow it down,
Through the chaos as it swirls,*
It's us against the world.
Like a river to a raindrop,
I lost a friend.
My drunkenness isn't (beggin') in a lion's den.
And tonight I know it all has to begin again,
So whatever you do,
Don't let go.
And if we float away,
Fly up to the surface, and just start again.
Lift off with no trouble.
Just erodes in the rain.*
Just sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down.
Oh slow-ow-ow-ow it down.
(instrumental)
Through the chaos as it swirls,*
It's us against the world.
Through the chaos as it swirls,*
It's us against the world.
