Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard Oh, take me back to the start

Lollapalooza Edition
Artist- Coldplay
Song of the day- The Scientist

What can I say about my love for Coldplay? Other than, it is vast. They create music well, they dress well, they speak Britishly well, they perform well, but at their best I think they write songs well. Today's song is one of my all time favs in any category. I find they can touch on emotion without going overboard and be just catchy enough without being annoying. But today's song also is a fav because I've come to realize I'm a big fan of starting things and maybe not as great in the long hall at finishing things. I can start a book well then never finish it, make sure I ace tests at the beginning so I can peter out as the class continues, make fantastic first impressions then can become more awkward and weird the more you know me, start at a new place then quickly have the itch to move, write a mean first verse and a sucky second one, write a really awesome start of a blog then realize it has turned into a long run on sentence all about me and my quirky habits...I digress. Often I wish I can go back to the start of things when it's fresh and interesting cuz everything gets harder the longer you stick it out, school, relationships, Dostoevsky novels, I think that's why the bible always talks about how what matters is how you finish the race of life. Not how you start it, not how you had that one good stride in the middle, but that you made it to the end. So here's to loving the start and making it to the end.

And a short footnote one of my most favorite lines of any song is "you don't know how lovely you are" it's so simple yet endearing and says so much at the same time. I'm pretty sure if anyone would walk up and say it to me I might marry them on the spot. However don't go around revealing this secret of mine to creepy men that they might use it for evil, it's like love kryptonite.



Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, lets go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a science apart.

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start.

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start
