Lyrics: Fix you by Coldplay
Her sleep is uneasy. She tosses in the bed, the sheets too hot one second, too cold the next. The warm spring air outside carries a hint of jasmine with it as it comes in through the open window. She can’t feel it; she’s half a world away.
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
The hellmouth is open. They’ve seen them, and they’re coming. She knows what is going to happen; she’s been here before. Hundreds, no, thousands of times. Maybe this time, things will be different.
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
when you love some one but it goes to waste
could it be worse?
She just has to change things. The world can fall, as long as he doesn’t. She doesn’t care. Turning around, she sees him. She has to get to him. Change things. But they’re in the way. She fights, she has to make it. Then, the sharp pain. She falls.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
The night before: his arms, firm around her. Safe. Letting her breath easily. It would be so easy, to give in. To let the memory of them together sooth her, be the last thing she remembers.
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
The First is taunting her. Taking away the beautiful dream, the happiness. “I want you,” she says, getting up, “to get out of my face!” The will is returned to her, the wish. She will get them out, both of them. Then the light is there, inside the cave, and she knows it’s too late.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
She is standing there, again. Her hand entwined with his. This time, she won’t leave. She’ll stay with him. “I love you,” she says, his blue eyes so clear when they meet hers.
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
“No, you don’t. But thanks for saying it.”
The heat, making it impossible to hold on. He lets go, and she is left without choice. She has to leave, again.
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
She’s running, running for all that she’s worth. She has to make it to the bus. The world is falling apart around her, and her heart is breaking with it. She can’t breath. She’s lost everything that ever mattered to her.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
The bus has stopped. Behind them, there’s nothing left. The sun is warm on her neck when she stands there, looking at what used to be her life.
She wakes up with a gasp. It’s hurting, inside. Her face is wet. She turns around, facing the wall, pulls the sheets up over her. Closes her eyes. Falls asleep again.
The hellmouth is open. They’ve seen them, and they’re coming…
