Amsterdam

Why is it so hard to go to bed early, even when I'm exhausted from a lack of sleep? Anyways, so I figured out how to get around my wifi problem. Had to go in and change the channel that I was on. I always wondered what the practical use of the various channels were, I guess I figured it out now.

So amongst the DVD collection here is the Coldplay Live 2003 disc. Since I had enjoyed the concert at Shoreline, I stuck the disc in and it's been playing on repeat for the last couple of days (except for a 12-hour stretch where I plowed through Band of Brothers). 2003 seems like a lifetime ago.

I'd never noticed this song "Amsterdam" before. Well, I've heard it while listening to the CD, but I've never even noticed the song title, and barely the lyrics either. Oddly, they both seem rather fitting at the moment though.



Come on, my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
If i, if I’d only waited
I’d not be stuck here in this hole
Come here my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
And I swear I waited and waited
I’ve got to get out of this hole

But time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing you down and all around
It’s no cause for concern

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I’m dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath

And time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing you down
And all around, no
It’s no cause for concern

Stuck on the end of this ball and chain
And I’m on my way back down again
Stood on a bridge, tied to the noose
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean
But it won’t change a thing
I’m sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge, tied to a noose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose.
