Song lyrics

Send "Swallowed In The Sea" ringtones to your cell

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
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 and spread it all around
Get lost and then get found and you'll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea

Oohhhhh Ahhhhhh

and I could write a song a hundred 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
Oh 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

9 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Totally. I sing it in the shower all the time, in the car, even at work. When no one's around, that is. I love it. Every single song on this Album is to die for. rools.* And Chris is gorgeous. Just thought I might add that in there. Not that it matters or anything.

4 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this song deffinatley strikes a chord with me... i wud have to say one of the best of the album! Coldplay i think r one of the best song writers ever ... their lyrics r so DEEP! The opening lines really get me... they're classic... and others like... 'you cut me down to size and opened up my eyes, made me realise what i could not see' it's the most original song i've heard in a long time!... maybe even ever! i ABSOLUETLY love it!

150 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song rocks! totally! Coldplay is one of my favs, they are like the best. They show us in each song what music really is. Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Johnny Buckland and the other guy are geniuses . Kisses and Cheers from Colombia. Maria Monica
